SHEFFIELD

Sheffield, December 1. Especially
 United States nitrate plant No. will be formally turned over by the contrac-
 tors to the government next week. The
 nitrate plant itself has been completed and in operation for sometime, but the
 builders of the plant, the J. C.. White Construction company, have been en- gagged since the completion of the plant itself i'll number of supplementary contracts. Among these was the build ing of quarters for the ordnance de- tachment and officers quarters for the housing of the officers who are stationed at the plant These items alone consti-
 tuted an expenditure of better than half 1 a million dollars Also more than a
 million dollars has been spent in the construction of more than 150 permanent dwelling houses for the employees of the plant. These houses form a separate city on Cherokee pike, one of the streets of the government reservation, and they are beautiful and modern addition to | the Muscle Shoals district, each house being finished in white stucco, and with all modern conveniences, including eiec- tric lights. sewerage and in some in- 4 l stances hardwood floors. The city at | nitrate plant No. 1 is known locally as The White City, and has its own schools, it's own pOStOffice, library, '. M. c. A., Y. w. c. A. and all the civic buildings which an ordinary town boasts. The finishing touches are being put on ] the streets of this city this week and 1 they will be far better than the streets ! of the downtown district of Sheffield. Among the other supplementary con- tracts which the White company has Lad at plant No. l are an ice plant which has capacity of 100 tons per day, a l filtration plant and several other small buildings not included in the original plans. The story carried by the Associated Press to the effect that striking cleo tricianS. and blacksmiths at United States Nitrate plant No. 2 were demand ing an increase from 871ac to $1 per hour is in error in that the demand of these men is an increase from 75c per hour to S71ac per hour, instead of $lN per hour from S714c. Officials of the plant seem to be entirely unworried by the situa- ton and declare that they will not be embarrassed in the completion of the plant if the men do not return to work
 Work was begun yesterday on the re- gently let sewer contract for Sheffieid's storm sewers. A total of S25.0o0 will be expended on this improvement. Other municipal improvements are expected to follow just as soon as the labor situation becomes stabilized.

Since my return from Europe / have

you have been over there. tell MS how
long the war Will last"
Here are some Of the questions that
/ have been able TO answer:
Arc the theatres closed in German
cities as a result Of the war?
In the early part Of the war the
theatres were closed. but now all are
open. All dance halls, however. are
closed.
How do the Germans get rubber FOR
automobile tires2
The pneumatic auto tire has an but

such rubber as is available is used
vehicles and the autos Of the royal
family. Various substitutes for rub
Der are in use. A cement tire seems to
be most freely advertised in the Ger
man newspapers.
Why aren't the German women per-
mitted TO wear black in mourning for
members OF their family who have been
killed in the war2
The presence Of large numbers OF
women in black will provide a KEY 10
the enormous losses the Germans have
sustained, and would make more in
sistent the clamor for peace The Ger
man government strives I'm every way
to conceal the number Of killed from
the people.
Where does Germany get oil for its
submarines? l hear their machinery
must swim In oil to be effective.
Rumania The wells taken over af-
ter the German occupation Of Rumania
provide not only oil for submarines.
but gasoline for airplanes and auto
mobiles. Had Rumania been able 90 To-
pulse the Germans, the status OF the
war might be different today
Are British and French ofloeps taken
prisoner required to work in Ger

officers form a class Of supermen who
must never soil their hands with
manual labor Hence. TO permit even a

against the superior quality OF the

Where do our toys come from. now
that we are at war with Germany?

toys valued at ST.5OOOOO from Germany
