Dupont Profits Big
CONTINUED FROM PAGE |

of which $93,557, 704 already has been
paid at maturity or sold. OF the physi-
cal efforts put forth successfully to meet
the demand for wal material, the report
says:
Though the outbreak of the Euro
pean war found this company without
factories for the production of military
powders ON the enormous scale demand
ed, it had essential manufacturing exper-
fence, supplemented by an organization
well trained and ready for the emer-
gency. Therefore, it was possible to Of
fer immense quantities of military pow
ders from plants to be built. These Of
fers were only acceptable to our GUS
toners provided deliveries were to com
mence very promptly.
The construction of new plant units
to NIL these orders was started from time
to time, anticipating to some extent the
receipt of actual orders. Physical con-
struction of the first unit was
ed at the end of October, 1914, and was
finished and put in operation in March.
1915. Additional units were completed
and put in operation monthly thereafter
until April, 1916, at which time our ex-
traordinary CONSTRUCTION, involving an
expenditure of about $50, 900, was
completed"
LOYAL EMPLOYEES ARE PRAISED.
Great praise is given to the GENERATING
departments, which made quick use of
these units. and to the purchasing de-
partment, which bought and assembled
raw materials involving an expenditure
of Sl60,O00,00 resulting in a sniff
cent supply to maintain the plants in
full operation and at satisfactory
prices. The loyalty of the employees
comes In for a large need of praise. In
TINS connection the %cOmpany's bonus
plan is explained and the noteworthy
fgures involved in its operations are
given. The report says:
The stock required for bonuses is
purchased by the company in the omen
market. The bonuses are paid usually
IN common stock of the company and 10
employees who have contributed in an
unusual degree to the success of the
company by their inventions. ability. in
dustry and loyalty and whom it is DEEM
ed desirable to have interested in the
business as stockholders Since the
adoption of the plan in 1905 there has
been distributed to the EMPLOYEES stock
which cost about S 5,00O.OOO. but the
present value of which is more than
$23, 100000.
The bonus plan, together with the
stock subscription plan under which
there is offered each year for subscrip-
ton a definite amount USUALLY 1000 TO
1000 shares) of debenture stock ON lib
eral terms, is largely responsible for the
interest of employees in the stock of the
company. These men have every cause
TO feel their partnership in the affairs of
the company and undoubtedly this rela-
ton has contributed materially to the
companys success"
Under the II ID per cent munitions
tax, imposed by the Government last
year, the report says that the sum
levied against the company 'for the
year l9l6 alone will result in our pay
ing to the United States Government
an amount equal to the entire profit
made on sales of military powders to
the United States Government by this
company and its predecessors since the
inception of the industry about 20
years ago"

ii POLICEMAN
By Frank e Nugent

We are DUPONT policemen we may be rough,
that's true,
But sometimes we have to deal with men who
are tough and rougher, too.
Our language may be off a bit, our manner not
just right,
But put yoursel; in our place some wet and
stormy night.
A fire in the plant, a robbery in the village. a
big fight near The camp,
And any where there's trouble we'fe always
bound to tramp.
But we are hot complaining, ouI duty we'll
not shirk;
It's what we're getting paid for, and it al
comes in our work,
We are not try ing to apologize,
But to answer those who c~riticise,
And to have them always remember when
about the police they start to babble,
That good policemen aren't made from weak
voiced mollycOddles.

By ELEoNA LAUBY COPELAND

For the past week all the suffragists of Birmingham and Jefferson county have been more than busy with the reg istration.
 Patriotism depends on love you have for your country. After the past week we all know that woman suffrage mean patriotism.
 Miss Amelia Worthington, president of Birmingham Equal Suffrage association, and who had charge of the registration of the Birmingham district has been seen wearing beautiful knitted sweater. Oh, yes, she knitted 1t herself and now she is knitting for the sail orS.
 Florida has the distinction of electing unanimously Mrs. George R. Horwitz mayor of Moorshaven. Her unanimous election was due to her efficiency. She has proven conclusively that she pos sesses executive ability in a very high degree. From her own estate, she shipped 50 carloads of potatoes and ex- poets to send 9o,OC0 bushels of corn and many hogs and cattle this fall.
 Next week Mrs. Richard F. Johnston will be able to tell you about the re- suits of the registration throughout Jef-
 
 John E. Shelby says that he will take off his hat to all the suffragists. That they have one of the finest organiza tions for organized efforts and movements that he ever saw.
 We wish that all the women of the county could have heard some of the thrilling speeches made last Thursday by the women at the Tutwiler ballroom. The mass meeting was called by the Equal Suffrage association and every wcmans organization was represented.
 Miss Amelia Worthington, president of B. E. S. A., presided.
 Funny thing. You know, every time woman gets up to make an address, when she stands squarely on her feet, knows exactly what to say, and says it forcibly and convincingly and can be heard in the back of the hall, you know that she is a suffragist.
 This is what someone said of Mrs. Ju- Han D. Parke of Selma.
 She is one of the most rational, con-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-08-16

servative and intelligent women, and she is an ardent suffragist2 Mrs. Parl1e is president of the State Suffrage associa- ton.
 The Rev. Garner L. Sturdivant of Foun- tain Heights church says that women form the greatest assest in the religious world DO you believe in women vot- ing, MT. Sturdivant?'
 Certainly do see no reason in the world why they shouldn't vote. Now adays women are in all the professions and in every walk of life and certainly she should be represented. A woman is a separate individual just as much as a man is. I do not know what in the world we would do if the women weren't represented by themselves in the church."
 The Alabama State Federation of La Dor and the Alabama Farmers union both indorsed woman suffrage. Wouldn't it be fine for the ministers conference at their next meeting Ego thou and do likewise?"
 Dear People of Alabama: Working women need the ballot to regulate con- ditions under which they must work. Housekeepers need the ballot to regu- late the sanitary conditions under which their families must live. Mothers iSSu tHC lO TeBuldtc COn- ditions under which their children must be raised. Teachers need the ballot to secure just wages and to influence the administration of the public schools. Business women need the ballot to se- cure a fair opportunity. Tax paying women need the ballot to protect their property All women need the ballot because they are, or should be, equally concerned with men in the welfare of our government.
 All men need women's help in the home and government; all women need the men! Therefore we all need each other for the best and highest develop ment in this world. Cooperation on an equal footingi

WHAT CAN YOU CAN?

A week or so ago one of the canning experts of the United States department of agriculture reported that group of girls in small southern community had this year added their bit to the countrys S food supply by putting up 7290 quarts of tomatoes. 2S50 quarts of peas 324 quarts of okra and tomatoes mixed, 260 quarts of soup mixture and $50 quarts of guavas. The canning season for the north is now upon us. If in each northern community a group of girls were to follow the good example of these southern girls. the H would soon disappear from the H. C. of l..
 The United States department of agri- culture will tell you how to can and dry all your surplus fruits and vegetables Just send card to the division of pub lications, department of agriculture, Washington, D. C., asking for bulletins on home canning and drying of fruits and vegetables.
