T am glad to state that in spite of the war and the raise in the grade that the Alabama Girls Technical institute is full" said pr. T. W. Palmer, the president.

nAs1Lr EXPLAINED
NO OIL FAMINE IMMINENT
By HOLLAND

I There is likely to be some reference to the early exhaustion of the worlds sup4 ply of oil, and also to the inevitable exhaustion sooner or later of the worlds supply of coal in the hope that the way may be discovered by which natures in- exhaustible resources may be so utilized as to make good the extermination Of exhaustible resources
 One of the greatest achievements of electrical chemistry, whereby an ample supply of nitrogen can be secured through the capture of 1t from the at mosphere, was most impressively alluded to by pr. Acheson in a recent conversa- tion Men of science who have been making researches with the aid of chemistry, discovered methods by which the nitrogen that is in the atmosphere may be captured and made commercially available. This industry has already been established in Norway and our own government is about to establish great nitrogen plant in this country with water power as the basic energy. A few years ago, the apprehension was great that saltpeter fields of Chile. which have been the worlds great source of ni- trogen in commercial form, would be ex- hausted. What would happen to the world industries were Chile to say i've no longer have saltpeter, for the world has taken all that we possessed?" pr. Acheson says that in the atmosphere over three acres of land. there Is as much nitrogen as is equivalent to years export of the nitrates from the Chilean mines. The atmosphere. there fore provides an inexhaustible supply Of one of the most important of the com modities needed for the worlds indus tries pr. Acheson also said that we have another inexhaustible resource in our water power, which sceience has shown us how at low cost to convert into electric energy.
 These are subjects which have been considered by the American chemists, and the results following their meeting of this week will be of special value to the United States in this time of war;
