By HERvEY w. LAIRD

Atlanta, November 18.-(Special) -Con-
gresham w. G. Adamson, author of the
famous eight-hour bill that prevented a
big railroad strike, has declared that
on the merits of the case the Chatta-
hoochee river, in Georgia, will get nj
trate plant If not the nitrate plant to
be erected by the government.
The statement was made at meeting
in Atlanta this week, in the course of
which the judge outlined what had al
ready been done. He stated that after
an examination of the river three great
engineers had recently assured him that
it was the best prospect for hydroelec-
trical development in the United States.
1t was brought out that If the Chat
tahoochee should be chosen three or
four dams would be erected, practically
giving lake navigation between Atlanta
and West Point all the year around.
Georgians believe that If this should
come about the river would be fully

Speaking of the National Woman
Christian Temperance union going on
record as favoring woman suffrage,
there are 40 different departments of the
national union and each state is allowed
to choose it's own department of work.
While the Alabama Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union has some very
ardent workers for suffrage, as an or
ganization they have never worked for
the franchise" or suffrage department,
preferring rather to concentrate their tall
ents on the abolition of the liquor traffic
in the state. That this concentration Of
effort has worked to the advantage Of
temperance and their efforts in this spe-
cial work has been rewarded is attested
by the strict prohibition laws enacted
during the last session of the Alabama
legislature.

Because of improvements and de-
velopments right along. new plans are
nearly always made for each new
class of b~attleship; sketches OF these
plans are made by the naval con
Structors and submitted to the gen.
eral board Of the Navy, which recon-
mends certain ones for formal selec-
tor and adoption by the Secretary.
Then the naval designers work out
the plans in detail, and models Of the
ship are made and tested In a huge
tank built for that purpose in Wash
ington. All OF this has consumed
about eight months from the time Of
the appropriation by Congress. Then
the builders are asked to submit their
bids.

ly. and an appropriation OF $13s.S45,-

The items in this. perhaps our
greatest naval bill, afford a startling
insight into the tremendous cost of
maintaining q Navy able to hold a
real place in the racs OF nations for
naval supremacy.
While Sc ships are to be built "as

total OF ships to be built within the
