and machinery are being unloaded daily. The army of workmen by their efficiency and loyalty are proving themselves to be genuine American patriots, and they are lending their best endeavor that America may play successful part in the great war to defeat the Germans.
 While the construction of these great plants is being rushed forward. steps have already been taken toward com pleting the organization of operating forces for the plants. Approximately 4O00 men will be necessary, 60 per cent of whom must be highly trained techni- cal men. In addition to the men re- quired in the electrical and chemical branches. physicians and pharmacists will be needed. They will be secured from all parts of the country. Those who are found available at the present time are being sent by the Air Nitratcs corporation to Warmers Point. N. J., and Niagara Falls N. Y., where they will be given a course of instruction in various plants before they are brought to Muscle Shoals.
 Agents of the government are now registering men throughout the coun- try preparatory to assigning them to the plants here, and it is unofficially stated that quite force of men has already been engaged, and later will be sent to the local plants. The operation of these great nitrate manufacturing plants WILL of course, be under the supervision or the ordnance department of the United States government.
 As the work of construction on these great government plants progresses, there is becoming more and more maui fested a knowledge of the richness, the greatness and security of the Muscle Shoals region, with it's combination or advantages, which also is leading to a new and broader conception of what the Muscle Shoals development will ui-i- mateiy bring to full fruition. And 1t is certain that the big day ahead for this section Will come at the conclusion of the war, if indeed it does not come be- fore.

Marvellous Progress Being
 Made in Construction Of
 Muscle Shoals Nitrate Plants
By H. FoNrAINn LITTLE

Sheffield, June 1.--(Speciai)-It has been little more than six months since the federal government initiated the work of building two immense nitrate plants here-one in West Sheffield and another at Muscle Shoals, immediately east of Sheffield. Marvellous progress has been made in building these great plants, where today more than l5,VvO men are working feverishly that the plarts may be hastened to completion. Before the end of another six months the big plants will be manufacturing am monium nitrates, which will be used m making explosives for the war. Already tests are being made at the West Shelf field plant. The big stacks are emitting huge volumes of smoke, and the huge hydrogen gas tanks have been filled number of times the past few days. All about the big works there is urgent and intense activity. Capt. R. W. Hemp hill, ordnance officer in charge, and j. w. Munson, resident manager, are anx- iously awaiting the full completion of the vast enterprise, in which they very naturally feel a great pride. The plant itself will be more or less a mon- ument to their skill and devoted ener- gies.
 J. w. Young, resident manager for the Air Nitrates corporation, which Is build ing the big Muscle Shoals cyanamia plant, is greatly pleased with the prog ress that is being made on the S0,U1O- 0o0 plant The construction of this huge plant was stupendous undertaking. but every obstacle encountered has been overcome until today it is nothing short of revelation to view the insuperable achievement that has been accomplished. The steel skeletons for the large build ings are rising as if by magic. Others of concrete construction are rapidly nearing completion. The railroad yards present an interesting scene. From 500 to

 In the evening she will appear on the stage at the Bijou theatre and pictures will be shown regarding the torpedo ing of the Lusitania and the full story will be told. It is the desire of Miss Jolivet to show as much as possible the work of the Hun and to impress upon every man the necessity of volunteer ing for service to help make it possible

We have of late had numberless
stories of the American working girl
and her metamorphosis into bust

sion of the English girl who goes into
business. She draws an entertaining
picture Of the young woman of good
family and no money who makes her

ish upper-class prejudice against a
trade" Betty Marchand is a delightful
person, exquisitely feminine. but with
the true business instinct, person of
ideals which war with very human
qualities. The story of her everyday
life and of the great love which illu-
mines it and which almost sweeps
her into disaster is told with absorb
ing interest. The ideals hold and con-
quer, but not without struggle which
is told with clear insight and under
standing.
To escape the man she loves and
with whom marriage is impossible,
Betty's business life brings her to
America. We sec American big busi-

vision is enlightenng and helpful. At
