COMPLEMENTARY
 ELECTROCHEM|STS
List of Industrial Centers to Be Visited in Appa-
 lachian South

Through the director general of ral- roads permission has been secured TOT special train to carry the American Eiec- trochemical society on its trip throusn the Appalachian south, it being recog- n1zed that as the journey is being under taken to enable the foremost electro chemists of the country to study the re- sources and power potentialities of the south for electrochemical industries, 1t IS
 essential in the country's war plans, says
 the Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
 The train will be operated by the South
 ern railway, and will leave Washington
 April 2S Kingsport, Tenn, will be visited on April 29
 The Knoxville district will be visited April 3o starting with the plant of the American Zinc, Lead and Smelling com pany at Mascot, Tenn, where an inspec- ton will be made of the concentrating mill in which zinc sulphide- bearing iron ore is crushed, sized and separated into zinc concentrate and iron ore by tho oil Notation process
 A special meeting will be held in Knoxville, following which a trip will be made to Alcoa, where the large de- velopment of the Aluminium company or | America is located.
 The Chattanooga section will be in- spected on May l, and trips will be made to the following plants: Southern Ferro-Alloys company, cleo tric furnace manufacture of ferro-Silicon and other ferro-alloys.
 | Semet-Solvay by-product coke plant and toluol plant
 Wilson company, cottonseed oil re- finery, hydrogenation of oil. KalbfleiSch Chemical company. Arrangements have also been made for a boat trip down the Tennessee river to I the 100000 horse power development at tHales bar.
 On May ? an all-day trip has been ar ranged to Muscle Shoals. An inspection will be made of the dam and water power developments at Muscle Shoals, where 100000 horse power IS in course of de- velopment. The various government plants will also be visited. On May Birmingham and Bessemer will be visited, and inspections will be made of the ferro-manganese blast fur mace of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, also the duplex steel
 process and Bessemer open-hearth com
 bination. On the trip to Ensey an in-
 srcction will be made of the by-produci
 coke plant using the Roberts oven; also
 of the steel plant of the Woodward Iron
 company.
 The trip will conclude at Annston,
 where the electric ferro-manganese fur
 mace and plant of the Southern Manga
 nese corporation will be inspected; like
 wise an electric steel furnace plant.
 In each of the sections visited there
 will be formal addresses of welcome on
 the part of representative business men
 in each community. and interesting lec-
 lures and talks will be given, so tha.
 not only will the visitors learn of the
 resources and advantages of each sec
 tion suitable for electro-chemical indus
 tries but the visiting scientists will also
 give those in each community some idea
 of the vast scope and importance of cleo trochemcal and electrometallurgical products to the industrial life of the na. tion.

Gulfport, Miss, April 14-(Special)-An enterprise that means much to the coast cities of Mississippi is now possibility Construction of an electric interurban railway between New Orleans and Mo bile, 10 be owned by the municipalities along the route, will follow the close of the war if the plans that are now being worked out are put into effect.
 The building of an electric line between New Orleans and Mobile has been dis cussed for sometime, but nothing could be done in that direction until an en- abling act could be secured from the Mis- sissippi legislature. The Mississippi leg- islature, at the recent session, passed the law and the way is now open for the con- struction of the interurban as soon as the war situation adjusts itself So that bonds can be floated and material can be pur- chased.
 Although nothing can be done toward building the line while the war lasts II is the intention of the municipalities 1n- terested, it is understood, to make a pre- liminary survey with the view of ascer- taining the approximate cost so that when peace is restored the work of con- WILL plOASGQ ldpiulyE IL IS NCtS likely that conference will be held at Gulfport or Biloxi within the next few weeks to launch the movement for the interurban.
 The towns on the Mississippi coast that will be called upon to participate in the construction of the new electric line are: Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Moss Polnt. The new law enacted by the legislature enables them to combine and cooperate with each other and with municipalities in other states.
 This will authorize the Mississippi nu- nicipalities to deal with the city of New Orleans, which, it is understood, stands ready to buld it's end of the road from the Louisiana-Mississippi line into the city.
 The city of New Orleans is in position to build it's end of the interurban through the Public Belt railroad, in the opinion of City Attorney l.. D. Moore, who rem dered an opinion on the subject at the request of Mayor Behrman. Judge Moore held that the Public Belt has the right

in the truest sense of the term. He must be an engineer chemist, metal. lurgist, manufacturer and an all- around scientist. In order that he may keep abreast of the developments in this line it is necessary that he Dc hr oad- minded, progressive and aggres- sive.
 It may truly be said that men of such characteristics make up the mem bership of the American Electrochem- ical society. This society forms the one and only forum for. the discus sion of electrochemica1 subjects. It's literature is recognized as the only handbook extant on the subject of electrochemistry. It's membership IS open to those engaged in, affiliated with or interested in any way in cleo trochemistry and allied subjects and to those qualified for membership In the society it affords the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the men who, foremost in their profess slons, are making it their business to see that the United States and her allies receive the very best possible support from the electrochemical in- dustry and all others related thereto.
 The president or the society, pr. Colin G. Fink, is in charge of the large research laboratories of the Chile EX- ploration company in New York, rne resources of which at this time are a- most entirely devoted to research work in connection with national war prob lems.
 The secretary, Dr. Joseph W. Rich ards, professor of metallury at Lehigh university, South Bethlehem, Pa, in ternationally recognized as one of the leading metallurgists, is also mem Der of the naval consulting board at Washington,s where he spends large part of his time assisting in the work of the government in working out the l innumerable war problems.

IMPORTANT MATTER
 CALLS FOR ACTION
War Materials in the South Should Be Contracted for
 Immediately

Authority for the President to contract for war minerals during the next two years and a s50,OOo.00O appropriation as revolving fund to carry out the plan is provided in an administration bill which is now being considered by the House committee on mines. In the event of the passage of the bill which it is expected will be favorably reported within the next two weeks, says the Baltimore Manufacturers Record, the government will be given sweeping control over the minerals needed in war work.
 Government officials state that opera ton of the proposed legislation will re- suit in an important development of min ing in the south, where the extent and wealth of the mineral deposits are only just beginning to be realized
 The bill empowers the President to pur- chase, store and sell the minerals, fix ing the prices and requisitioning supplies in the event that any of these actions are rendered necessary for the national security and defense. Mineral lands which are lying idle may also be taken over by the government and utilized to the best advantage.
 It is proposed to extend the license system to persons or firms engaged in the manufacture, storage, mining or distribu- tion of the minerals, as the best means of controlling the industry. Considers ton will also be given to any neces- sary increases in tariff duties to pre- vent the enhancement of United States liabilities under price regulation guaran- tees by reason of importations.
 The urgent need for immediate action on the bill has been brought to the at tention of the House committee on mines by Secretary of the Interior Lane, Di- rector George Otis Smith of the geological survey and Bernard Baruch. chairman of the war industries board. It is under stood that the legislation was first agi- tated by the war minerals committee of the council of national defense. which early in the war realized the shortage that would exist when foreign importa- tions of minerals were cut down.
 The ores, minerals and metals included in the bill are antimony, arsenic, chrom- ium, graphite. mangnesite, mercury, molybdenum, platinum, pyrte, tungsten, tin and sulphur, and alloys and chemicals derived therefrom. !
 Pyrite manganese graphite and numer- ous others of the most essential min erals for war purposes are found large ly in the south. Production in practical ly all of the fields for these minerals has been vastly stimulated since the out break of the war. but with the passage of the administration bill funds will be- come available to insure not only an n- creased production in the mines now op-' erating, but the development of new fields.
 Officials also believe that the reduction in importations which will follow the in creased production of minerals in this country will result in the release of about 100000 gross tons of shipping for other war purposes.

other cities of Alabama with big pay rolls industrial conditions continue highly satisfactory.
 Alabama's new record in coal pro- duction in 1917 will be far exceeded by the output this year. Mining ca racity has been materially increased and at the present rate of production it is not too much to expect it to reach the 22,000, ,000- ton mark, as conn pared with 20,412,841 tons-State Mine Inspector Nesbit's official fig ures for last year.
 Most of the coal counties increased their output. Jefferson. of course, showed the largest gain. In 1916 it's production was 9,973,202 tons Last year it was 10,937,707 tons. Walker came next with 4,S39,2S9 tons as against 3.926,752 in 1916. Bibb was third with production of 1,507,659, which was just little above that of 1916. St. Clair is coming well to the front with production of S42,750 tons in 1917 as against 1892 in 1916.

What "Cormrade" Means in War

 looked at them. and the tears came to my eyes-as they would come to the eyes of any man if he could watch these walking wounded. But those two? No tears from them They looked at me--and smiled.
 Tt isn't only for their comrades that they are willing to suffer Over and over again I have seen an English Tommy. badly wounded himself, take tke cup of hot soup. or coffee, or the tobacco our Y. M. c. A. men were handing out. and give 1t to wounded German"

FALSE RUMOR ABOUT
MEDINA COUNTY NORMAL

County Superintendent D. w. Pearce
submits the following statement con-
cerning a rumor that there is to be no
county normal school:
"lt has been rumored that there
would be no normal department at
Medina this year. We hasten to cor
rect this mistake. The normal de-
partment is needed more just now than
ever before in it's history. With the
opening of school upon us, and having
used every available means of securing
teachers, we are still short a greater
number than l care to nama. Next
year will not find the situation less SER
ious than the present, but more so.
In our county normal see some op-
portunity of helping ourselves. If
twenty or twenty-five graduates of our
first grade high schools would enroll
on Sept. 9, in our county normal and
do satisfactory work, a year from now
they could take their places in our
schools at salaries higher than have
been paid heretofore.
Producing teachers is as much con-
servation as producing food. Our own
complaints will only accuse us later
if we do not use to the uttermost the
means at our disposal. Service is
the watch-word of the hour, real ser
vice. 1t is not the spectacular that is
most needed. Indeed, there can be
no greater or nobler service than to
teach the oncoming generation. The
children can, in later years, condemn
us if we do not supply them the edu-
cational advantages which we should.
| am inclined to think one might re-
gard himself Stacker, if he does not
at this time give greater heed to edu-
cational matters than ever before. Let
parents urge, especially their daugh-
ters, to help fill up the depleted ranks
of the teachers. Let us ponder the
need and value of having 20 or rs
young people, trained here at home for
local service, ready to step into our
schools next fall, without even having
to canvass as usual, for a position.
May we not allow a little distance,
means of transportation, or other triv-
ial causes to influence us against do
ing the proper thing. Let us reason
not, "Why should l." rather "Why not
l." Others are sacrificing for us, let
us do likewise. | shall confidently
expect large normal class on Sept.

ANNUAL REUNION OF
GARFIELD'S REGIMENT

There was a goodly attendance of
the surviving veterans of the famous
AID regiment, led by Gen. Garfield in
the civil war, at the annual reunion
held at Chippewa Lake on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
The first day was given over to per-
sonal greetings and the exchange of
"reminiscences. In the evening there
were campfire talks and music, the
comrades singing enthusiastically the
martial melodies of other days.
On Wednesday addresses were de-
livered by Comrades Cotton, Petty,
and Elliott McDougall, the latter of
Medina, and many songs and readings
enlivened the closing day.
The veterans look forward to these
annual events with great pleasure, as
their own ranks are rapidly thinning
and the return of each anniversary is
justly regarded by each survivor as a
haIlowed and happy occasion.

MOVIES HELD ESSENTIAL

The motion picture industry in all
its branches has been recognized as an
essential industry by the war indus
tries board.
This action has been taken in line
with Provost Marshal General Crow
der's ruling under the work or fight
regulation that the industry afforded
useful occupation.
Recognition of it's value in afford
ing an educational medium for the
great masses of the people, as well
as wholesome and cheap means of
recreation, governed the board in plac-
ing the industry upon the preferred
list. The extensive use of motion pic
lures by all war recreation agencies
also was considered.
The erection Of new picture thea
ters, however, will not be permitted
during the period Of the war.

Even if he evacuates France and Belgium, that will not assure the acceptance of our Indispensable terms, for he then can stand on his own strongly fortt- fled frontier.
