ward with the solution of the diff culty and it showed that cyaamid a commercial fertilizer, had for some years been successfully manufactured at Niagara Falls under German pro- cess, which had ben secured by Frank Sherman Washburn, head of the American Cyanamid Company. Muscle Shoals was selected as the most avail able spot in the United States to put the war industry to work. How we'll the plan succeeded is shown by the foregoing.
 Nitrogen From the Air
 In the belief that the process of extracting nitrogen from the air'' should become more than mere phase in the minds of newspaper readers, it is explained that cyanamid is pro- duced by extracting nitrogen from the air and combining it with calcium ob- tained from limestone rock and carbon from coke. By additional process cy- anamid becomes the basis for creating both ammonia and nitric acid and combining them into the explosive, ammonium nitrate. MT. Washburn of the American Cyanamid Company, made the contract with the Govern ment for building the ammonium plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, in November, 1917.
 To have general supervision of blaming and carrying out the work an organization known as the Air Mi trates Corporation was formed to act as agent of the Ordnance Depart ment. This corporation provided the general designs, supervised all work and operated the camp, the town and the plant. The various other sections of the work were sub-let to organi- zations that were specialists in the

 It was necessary to build new town to house the laborers. SFor this job Westinghouse Church Kerr Con- pany was called in as contractor. This company also built the buildings of the chemical plant. Within four months, 12,000 workmen has been as- sembled and city capable of accom- modating 25,O00 inhabitants had been completed, with lodging, restaurants, stores, offices, police headquarters, schools, fire departments, hospitals, motion picture theaters, electrict light and sewerage system.
 The construction of the plant proper was begun on February 16, 1918, and as stated above, was completed just eight months and eight days later, and began a steady output of ammonium nitrate. The plant contains 113 per- manent buildings with a roof area of over 26 acres.
 To provide the electric current It was necessary to build steampower electric plant, for it would have talk en three years or more to complete the dam and hydro-electric station now under way. This plant, built by the J. G. White Corporation, is one of the largest steam plants for develop ing electrical energy in the world.
 The output of the plant is 200 tons of ammonium nitrate day; and this can be produced at Muscle Shoals at cost less than one-half the standard fixed price paid by the Government for ammonium nitrate produced by other methods and one-fourth to one- fifth the cost of other high explosives of equal strength. n

WAY SUGGESTED FOR !. COUNTY SCHOOLS TO
 ATTRACT GOOD TEACHERS

Governor Thos. E. Campbell tonight declared himself on the much-discuss- ed point of law regarding authority of county school superintendents to provide more than $850 a year in their budgets for one-teacher schools with small attendance records. The goyer- nor said surperintendents may provide in their budgets for as much more than $S5O as they need but that they must also provide for at least eight months of school and establish an emergency fund amountin to 10 per cent of their estimated requirements.
 The governors attention had been directed to what state Superintendent of Public Instruction c. O. Case had declared to be most serious situa- ton in the state. Superintendent Case asserted 15 schools had been closed on account of lack of funds. Williams, chairman of the national highway council, and were to be turn ed over by him to the author of the bill.
 The first amendment provided that nothing in the Townsend bill shall interfere with construction and main tenance of roads and trails within the national forests by and under the au- thority of the forest service. The second asked appropriation of $1O5,- 100000 to construct, repair and main tain an adequate highway system through the national forests.
 Engineer Long, appearing yesterday before the officers and directors of the Arizona Good Roads association at their meeting for the formation of an Arizona division of the national highway council, objected to any leg islation which would interfere with the work of the forest service or bur eau of Indian affairs in road construc- tion or maintainance through forest reserves or Indian reservations.

 But not to this class belong the night dress and envelope chemise shown in the picture. Batiste and all the silks available for undergarments are to be had in printed designs sim liar to that used for these two pretty garments that are the glory of the rousseau. Here they are made of lowered wash silk, with frills of lace about the neck and sleeve openings and frills of ribbon about the bottom. Pretty bow knots made of shirred rib bon. having chiffon roses set in them, are set on the front of both the night dress and the chemise. Light pink is the favorlte color for undergarments but other cOlors are used. The sheer est fabrics are not often chosen in white, but cottOns and silks that are to be often laundered are better in white than in colOrs.

Extension Of Loan Association to
Meet Demand for Increased Number
Of Homes Here IS Urged by NlCNlary

John McNary, prominent Salem at
torney, speaking before luncheon of
business men at the Commercial club
Monday noon, emphasized the necessi-
tv Of building more homes in this city,
and made strong plea for capital
lists to become interested in the situa-
tion and lend hand in this essential
movement. In detail he pointed out the
operation of the Building & Loan asso-
citation, and expressed the hopes that
individuals wishing 70 build, would
avail themselves, of the opportunity
afforded by the association and take
immediate steps toward relieving the
serious house shortage in Salem.
Val Martin, of Oak Grove, who has
spent some time with King Arthur 8
legions in Belgium and Flanders, also
addressed the gathering of business
men. He told how Belgium looked to
the United States for assistance in re-
gaining its footing in the business
world, and expressed the hope that fu-
ture years would see a close alliance
in a business way Of Belgium and Am
erica.

BRITISH RAILROAD
STRIKE ENDED AND
SERVICE RESUMED

(United Press staff correspondent
London, Oct 9. - British railway
workers were returning to their posts
today after both the strikers and the
government had made concessions yes
tcrday which ended this country's s
greatest labor walkout.
On many Of the railway lines trains
were in operation early today. In some
quarters fear was expressed that agi-
tators might cause further trouble but
there was no evidence Of it in London
where the night shifts generally re-
ported for work last night. With both
sides claiming victory, the average
Briton was concerned chiefly with the
simple fact that settlement had been
reached.
Regardless of the partisan claims of
victory, the Briton recognizes general
ly that both sides conceded some points
and granted some compromise. Both
retained enough to "save their faces'
and both were plainly conscious of the
terrible possibilities involved in fail
ure to settle the issue.

eurity to the amount of so percent of
the appraised value of the property.
These appraisements are made by three
directors and filed in writing with the
association. The borrower pays Is cents
per share per week interest upon his
loan, which equals an interest of about
l7h percent. Share holders can borrow
money upon their stock to an. amount
equal to the voluntary withdrawal
value of the same.
sfLike the league, Of nations, any dis
satisfied member can withdraw at any
time upon giving notice. If he with.
draws during the first two years of
his membership, he is entitled to all
the money he has paid and six per cent
interest, less fines and forfeitures, and
after two years the withdrawing mem.
Der is entitled to receive the money he
has paid to the association and per
cent interest thereon and 75 per cent
/ of the earned profits upon his stock.
No member, however, has taken ad-
vantage of his opportunity to with
draw from this association for more
than four years, which Is commenda-
tory of the management of the .associa
tion, and the safety Of its loans. More
than fifty dwelling houses have been
erected in Salem thru the aid Of this
association since it's organization which
would not have otherwise been built.
The present income sof this organiza-
lion is about $2l0G a month, which will
enable it to make about two loans
monthly to home builders. This organi-

CRAYSON SAYS
PRESIDENT IS !
BETTER TODAY

Washington, Oct. 6.-President Will
son s condition continues to improve, ac,
|cording to DR.. Cary T. Gayson's S bulletin
at 1880 a. IN.
The text Of the statement follows:
"After G. consultation this morning
at the White House, which was partici.
pated in by Rear Admiral Cary I. Gray
son, DIR. Ruffin of Washington and Adj
miral Stitt, the following bulletin, srcla-
tive to the presidents condition was
given out:

dents condition noted yesterday. has
continued. He had a satisfactory night,

all records for 90 years for this season
Of the year in Washington, was not a
good thing for the president it was learn
ed ,snd the weather Sunday afternoon
seemed to depress him. but last night he
showed no ill effects from it and show
ers during the night proved refreshing
1t became increasingly apparent to-
day from the statement of those about
the president that his improvement will
be a slow process and that the rebuild
ing Of his nervous strength can only be
accomplished by protracted rest
! DR.. Grayson is not willing to announce
that the improvement is such as to pre-
clude relapse like that which occurred
when it was stated 'fthe president is d
very sick man. -
The president s appetite continues tc
improve. His diet is not substantial, il
was stated though. food of the kind a
person denied exercise can readily IS

thereby aid in the building Of about
five cottages monthly. This, however,
will only relieve in small measure,
the. immediate necessity Of construct
ing houses. inthis city.
According to present plans the
Oregon Pulp and Paper company, the
i'Phez company and the Kings Products
company will by the first of July next
year employ about 400 more men than
are now employed. This will directly
and indirectly increase the population
|of this city about three thousand, and
an order to house. these people, it will
require the building of about five
hundred cottages or eight hundred
apartments. These men will not be low
wage. earners, but will receive from
four to ten dollars day, and will be
able to pay a rental sufficient to pay
the builder of houses fair return
upon the cost of his investment. A
building program upon this large scale
can only be accomplished by interest
ing men with capital. 1t can be aided
in a degree by investments in the asso-
citation, and by meetings which will
tenthuse citizens to, individually con
struct dwellings,, but in the main the
relief must come from interesting cap
itahsts.
l. would suggest that this organiza-
tion appoint committee of responsi-
Bile business men to obtain statistics
showing the probable increase in our
population that will come by reason of
our new industries and development of
our county and city. That it obtain the
price for which desirable apartment
housesites can be purchased, and the
public cost of erecting suitable houses
and apartments, and that this data
when collated be presented to men Of
means and financial concerns, with the
idea of inducing them to invest money
in relieving the building situation with;
in this city. My observation has been
that capital is not lacking in any un-
dertaking when you can demonstrate
to men Of concerns with money, that
they can make safe investment and
one which will bring fair return"

TWO HURT WHEN
CAR AND ENGINE
collide TODAY

Superintendent T. L. Billingsly, of the
Salem Street Railway company, is prob
ably fatally injured, and Motorman Will
liam Lott, night chief at the car barns
! is suffering severe bruises and cuts
about the face and hands, as result of
IA collision of Lott s car with freight
engine of the Southern Pacific company
at State and Twelfth streets at 5:25
Monday morning. Motormen Henry
Borsman and Arthur Williamson, who
were in the streetcar at the time Of the
collision, escaped without injury.
According to Inspector Walter Smith
of the Salem Street Railway, who rush
fed to the scene of the accident iinmc'
diately after it occurred, and took the
| injured men to the Salem hospital, il
seems the cause of the accident was the
dense fog which prevented Motorman
Lott from seeing the approaching train
Trouble had developed at the railway
power plant, it is said, and Motorman
Lott took car and went to the home
of Superintendent Billingsly to bring
him down. On the way he picked up
Motormen Williamson and Borsman.
Approaching Twelfth street, LOT;
made the customary stop, while train
No. 81 of the Southern Pacific passed,
going north. Then, it is believed, that
Lott thinking the right of way clear,
and unable to see the approaching
freight engine through the fog, started
across the track. The streetcar struck
the freight engine in the middle, bend
ing the drive rod and denting the boil.
