which was to be of vast importance in many industries.
 The story of the relation of President Vails company to the government at Washington at this time of the war is one of the most interesting of all the records made by any of the great in government. President Vail tells this story not as though he were writing the report simply for the information of the stockholders and the public, but all most as though he were sketching for magazine or for a periodical which had secured high literary rank, what the company has done as co-partner with the government in facilitating war preparation and war work.
 In an earlier report President Vail has referred to the true relation, as he believed it to be, between the govern ment and the great industries. He be- lieved this can be secured by co-opera- ton and by regulation, but on the other hand that it would be impaired if there were government ownership. From his point of view, there is profound eco homie suggestion in his statement that regulation and control should not mean actual operation of a company. It should not handicap initiative and en- terrrise by too great limitation of that possible reward which alone makes risk attractive It should be sufficiently lib- eral to encourage development of latent resources, and 1t should allow a suffi- cient revenue to provide fully for opera tion and maintenance.

A Great Invention
 of Modern Times
By HOLLAND

New York, March 21.-(SpeciaL)-
 the late Charles Hall had been told at the time he invented the process for las to insure for it great commercial
 market that in 1917 the United States
 would produce 1so,0OO, 900 pounds of alu-
 minum, even he, enthusiastic as he was,
 would have been likely to say that this prediction would not be justified by the
 event. Yet MT Hall lived long enough
 to realize that he had perfected an in
 vention which would become of inesti-
 mable value to the United States, for it
 would provide new mineral product
 that would enter into the arts and be much used in the industries.
 MT. Halls invention furnished one of the best illustrations of the importance of the new era of electro-chemistry. How important eiectro-chemistry is, is shown by the fact that a compilation published day or two ago by experts sets forth the figures which show the growth of the production of aluminium in the United States, which is due en- tirely to electro chemistry. In 1890 there were produced in the United States, according to statistics, only 80,000 pounds of aluminium. The price was so high as to make it prohibitive Yet within 10 years following MT. Halls invention the production had increased to 100000 pounds and 10 years later to 4S,000, COG pounds, whereas in 1917 approximately | 1so,0o0,00o pounds of this new metal were produced in the United States.
 r Aluriinum before MT. Hall began his researches was a sort of metal curios- l ity. It was known to exist in various clays and especially in the peculiar kind of clay which is called bauxite. But there was no commercially practicable way of recovering these scattered frag ments and uniting them into a compact mineral. It is true this was sometimes done, but usually in the way of experi- ments or else in the college laboratories or lecture rooms to set before the stu dents a mineral curiosity, as it was called

A SPLENDID RECORD FOR HEALTH MADE AT MUSCLE SHOALS Resident Manager J. w. Young Issues Statement
 On Conditions There GREAT CARE TAKEN ABOUT SANITATION No Trace of Epidemic or Serious Illness, Though 10000 People Are As
 sembled in the New
 Community

Commenting on the fine conditions of health and sanitation at United States nitrate plant No. 2, which is under con- struction at Muscle Shoals, Ala, J. w. Young, resident manager there issued the following statement yesterday:
 Probably no other construction work of such magnitude has ever enjoyed the immunity from disease and illness that has been the good fortune of the United States nitrate plant No. at Muscle Shoals. Although the work of construct ing the camp has only been under way for the past three months, it is already a complete city, with all the advantages of healthfulness and sanitation of city of many years standing. Despite the fact that over 10000 people are gathered here, from all sections of the country. doing every imaginable sort of work there has been no trace of any epidemic of illness of any sort. and so few sim gle cases Of sickness as 10 make this number almost negligible. As a matter of fact, practically all of the illness in camp has been colds and those other minor ailments that are accepted as a matter of course everywhere during the period of changing weather between win ter and spring.
 We ascribe this favorable condition to the provisions made for absolute clean- liness and sanitation in every department sof the works, and to the fact that every applicant for position here must un- dergo searching physical examination before he or she is permitted to com mence work. In this manner the possi- bllity of introducing disease into the city by the admission of affected persons is prevented.
 BEST TALENT SECURED
 'In addition to this, the best medical and sanitary talent that could be secured is constantly on the alert protecting the health of the city in every possible man ner. Cleanliness is the cardinal rule of the camp. The mess halls and amuse- ment places were all built with a view to healthful conditions, an abundance of air and light being provided in every case, and the most modern sanitary measures being observed in detail
 The colored village, which is com posed of the bunk houses of the single negroes, and the cottages of the mar ried ones, compares most favorably with the colored quarters of any city in the an ountrys The bunk houses are far ahead
 the boarding houses for colored la | 'rers anywhere. and the homes of the married workmen are models of their sxind.
 "The two large construction com- panies in charge of the work are man. aged by men of wide experience, who know the importance of cleanliness to good hea1th.- The fact that this work has been rushed with such tremendous rapidity makes it the more remark

able that Muscle Shoals is today a model town of health and cleanliness, with an approximate population of 10000 people All of the work in con- nection with the caring and prepara- tion of food, and the removal of de- bris. and garbage is in the hands of competent employees and sanitary in spectors, who have had extended ex- perience in this line of work. The chief of the sanitary department of Muscle Shoals until recently held a similar post for the city of New York. NO OVERCROWDING PERMITTED
 we are permitting only as large a number of hands to come into the camp as can be comfortably provided for, and in no instance will an over crowded condition be permitted The rapidity with which such a large num- Der of buildings of every sort and de- scription has been erected is hardly conceivable, in view of the short period of construction work Visitors to Muscle Shoals, especially those familiar with camp construction and sanitation, have expressed admiration at the manner in which this important work has been handled
 We are rather proud of the record achieved in this work, more especially ds the Work Tn which we are engaged is of such importance to the nation in the war we are now engaged in. The men who are working here are sol diers and defenders of their country no less truly than those men who are already in the trenches in Europe, and their health is of as much concern to the government as that of any other body of men whose efforts are supple menting those of the American soldiers over there"

WHAT ELECTRICITY DID

 MT. Hall was persuaded, after the dy- namo was introduced and especially after it became practicable to employ water power so as to convert 1t into electrical energy which would give forth heat in almost world-consuming inten- sity, that in that way 1t might be practicable to extract the aluminium grains from the clay, collect them and thus secure a pure metal and at such I low cost as to insure commercial utili- zation of it.
 MT. Hall did cause to be built an electric furnaoy in which he generated and developed such heat as the earth has not known, since the days when the present world was in formation. In this way he was able to separate the Ialumina as it was called from the clay, collect it, and at last have in his pos session merchantable brick, so to speak, of pure aluminium.
 It was one of the great discoveries or inventions of modern times. MT. Hall himself could not realize that the day would soon come when, by reason of two other inventions, the aeroplane and the motor car, there would arise a very great demand for aluminium, because this metal is found most serviceable for airplane and motor car uses. He did realize, however, that by reason of the
 
 the metal it was to come into wide spread commercial use, anticipating in fact the coming of the day, now at hand, when aluminium would in certain lines of industry and for certain pur- poses supplaIit tin
 Incidentally, it may be reported in this place that Mir. Hall was man whose disposition caused him to shrink from any publicity or any personal ref erence to himself Of a kind which would fix the public eye upon him. He seemed to his friends to be almost mor- bidly sensitive, preferring to withdraw himself entirely from any association excepting that which was necessary Tor the development of the industry he had created. He was at last persuaded to appear in public so that he might ac- cept the highest honorary distinction that one of the great scientific bodies could offer, a medal symbolic of his wonderful achievements and inventions THE CAPITALISTS TAKE HOLD When it was demonstrated that MT. Halls apparatus and his utilization or his electric furnace were to make the manufacture of aluminium commercially practicable. capital. chiefly Pittsburg capital, was found in abundance for promoting the industry. great plant was established at Niagara Falls, and in this plant Lord Kelvin passed sev- eral hours, completely absorbed in the demonstration of the capacity Of the electric furnace to capture vague, all most phanton-like. mineral-like sub stance. and convert it into metal
