ELECTRO-CHEMISTS

By HOLLAND

Ky HOLLAND
 New York, March is. - (Special.) While the government at Washington, in cooperation with certain industrial leaders and business men who are tenn porarily sojourning at Washington, is making untold preparations for carry ing on the war, some of the foremost men of large affairs are also at this time greatly occupied in considering what preparations should now be made for meeting the conditions which VIII develop immediately after peace comes
 For instance, Joseph H. Emory, who is esteemd one of the highest authorl- ties upon the textile industry Of the United States is persuaded that if due preparation is made al this time, not in antagonism to war industries put supplementing them for the maintain ' ence of the textile industry, the United States can contemplate with satisfac- tion the certainty that after the war IS ended the textile industry in this coun- try will be independent, Germany nav ing lost it's prestige and it's aplilty to dominate. in certain lines, the Amerl- can textile market,
 So also Reid B. kathan, who is es- teemed very high authority in the silk industry of the United States is persuaded that, if reasonable prepara- tion is now underway and is contlnued until the war ends, the United States will De able to manufacture at home substantially all of the silks which are needed by the people. The senior part ner of the firm of Richardson, Boyn- ton & Co., who is an industrial leader widely known and recognized as the director of a very important manufac- turing, industry, whose plant alone covers more than 50 acres, IS glVing a great deal of thought to the dues- ton. what can now be best done in or der that we may be well prepared to meet commercial trade and manufac- turing conditions which will arise at the close of the war. Many others are thus occupied and in the officeof one or the executive managers of the united States Steel corporation there appears upon the wall a motto attractlyely framed in these words, Tn time or war prepare for peace. Extensive as is the war work now under way for the government in the plants of the United States Steel corporation, never theless the managers are attempting as far as possible, so to organize or so to direct their operations that the steel industry may be well prepared for the very important conditions es- pecially those associated with world trade. which we shall stand face to face with when the treaty of peace is e;

MINIMUM WAGE LAWS FOR WOMEN

Q.-How many states have minimum wage legislation for women and what methods are used for carrying out such principal? Is anything of the kind undertaken in Alabama?
 A,-No Alabama is slow to take up any liberal policy of advancement of women, and the enforcement of the prin- ciple of living wage scale is no ex- ception to the rule. Such legislation is, however in force in 19 states and a bill is up in Congress to regulate conditions in the District of Columbia. The bill is of the most scientific type, provid- ing for a minimum wage commission, composed of three members, representing the employers, employees and the pub lie The wage scales will be fixed after q survey into the cost of living in the various industries.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.


 When a man completes" his educa- ton he is either dead or mon compos mentis." As long as there is vitality and normal development there is growth and chance.
 When a. nation feels that it's govern ment or any instrument of it's govern ment is complete, it is dead. The con sttution of the United States is the brain center of our government. It must grow and change to live. There are two methods of injecting new life into the constitution, to insure its growth and vitality. One is by interpretation of the words of yesterday to get the needs of today-the other is by actual change by means of an amendment.
 The passage of the Susan B. Anthony amendment will mark an enrichening of the life blood of the people, growth of the brain center that will put it's response in the remotest parts of the body poitc It will mark the steady growth of the democracy of the past into the democracy of today.

 Mrs. J. H. Mccoy, chairman of the Jefferson county council of defense, has issued a call urging the organizations 'affiliating with the council of defense to assist in every way possible in the war library campaign.
 It is stated the soldiers have much time to read and the American people will have to furnish them with reading matter they will be absolutely idle dur ing many hours of waiting
 The question has been asked What do the soldiers read?9 The answer is. "Find what the American people read and you will find what the American soldi<rs read.'
 Textbook, fiction, poetry and biogra- phies are in demand it being estimated thta there are 45,000 students from the 57 colleges of the country on the new 6American army The presence of these trained men means a fall for special ized classes of books in the camp libraries
 The woman's committe of the council of defense deem this a very necessary work and urge the assistance of any one who will aid them in the collection of books for the war library.
