BRITISH PRAISE PRODUCTION OF
 NITRATEIN U. s.
Committee Declares United States Record in Building Muscle Shoals
 Plant Leads the World.

New York, March 25-Striking tes- tirnony to the efficiency of American business men in building up and op- erating war industries is brought out in the report of the English Commit tee on Nitric Products just received here.
 This committee was appointed by the British Government to determine the cost and time required to build a chemical plant for the production Of cyanamid, which is used as a fertilizer in time of peace and in war time may be converted into a high expIos i've, ammonium nitrate, so extensive Iy used in combination with TINT for exploding shells The specifications called for a plant with a capacity of 66, 900 tons of cynamid a year. It was determined that under the best conditions obtainable in war time, with priority given to such construc- tional work, it would require from -12 to Is months to get the cyanamid plant proper in operation. This did not include the necessary additional plant and equipment for extracting ammonia and ammonium nitrate, which is a military essential.
 It was pointed out by British en- gjneers and military men commenting on tE11S report that the DE ammonium nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala bama, the largest of it's kind in the world, built under the most adverse conditions for the United Stats Gov ernment by the Air Nitrates Corpor- ation, a subsidiary of the American Cyanamid Company, was in opera ton, nitrate section and all, eight months and eight days after ground was broken. This plant has an an- nua1 capacity of 240, ,000 tons of cya- nimid a year, or more than three times that of the proposed British plant
 So impressed were the British and representatives of other allied coun- tries by this showing that Frank Sherman Washburn, president of the American Cyanimid Company, was asked to take the chair at the meet ing of the International Commissions of Cyananid Manufacturers in Lon don. It was unaaim ously agreed thai Americans lead the world in cyana- mid manufacture, turning out, with from 10 to 25 per cent. less materia and power per unit product ot from 10 to 1 5 per cent. higher 1T quality than that of any other coun- try. American cynanamid is de c1ared to be at least 20 per cent. bet ter quality than the product turned ut by the Germans, from whom American chemists learned the SC cret.

DEMOCRATS ARE WORKING HARD ID
 KEEP BALANCE"
(By Mrs. George Bass.l

In every state in the Union there l is deep interest in the attitude of Democrats and Republicans on the representation to be given women in party councils. In the states where full suffrage or Presidential suffrage is enjoyed anxiety is evident regard ing the apportionment of delegates to the national convention and the man. ner of sharing responsibility in all or ganizations for campaign work. Is suffrage to be really 'tequaT' in the fullest sense This is the question peculiarly pressing on the eve of the eufranchisement of all the women in the United States.
 In commenting on the policy of Keeping the balance between mems point of view in politics and wom- en's' the Woman Citizen says:
 'FThe Democratic party, judged by it's action at the New York State Convention in Albany, seems to be af- ter this balance. The apportionment of places for the four New York dele gates at large was on an exact fifty fifty basis-two men and two women. The action establishes a precedent tremendously to the advantage of the Democrats and full credit should be allotted for it.''
 So far, this effort to keep the bal ance'' has been apparent in the whole plan of the Democratic party for the | acceptance and the absorption of the woman vote. Since 1916, when the 1 Woman's Bureau of the Democratic | National Committee was established, 1 continual, systematic work has been 1 carried on in the suffrage states this work constantly widening in scope as | the various states bestowed the fran | chise on women. The effect Of this 1 patient and persistent effort is ap | parent in the attitude of the men of 1 the party, which has approved of the 1 long campaign of organization and 1 education. It is not surprising that the idea of sharing equally in the | honors as well as the labors should have been the result of the gradual
 women of the party.
 The tffty-ffty idea recently has | been applied to the executive commit | tee which is to be composed of an | equal number of men and women 1 who will share in all the labors and
 assist in making all the plans for the l national campaign.
 In the far Western states men are l revealing this spirit of fairness and
 are giving women the coveted privi-
 lege of helping to choose the next i Democratic candidate Tor President Oi
 the United States. Since 1908, when
 the first woman had this honor-by $a
 singular chance, she was the only
 woman in convention of one thous-
 and and one delegates-the Demo
 cratic party has been adjusting itsel1 1 to the larger possibilities of the flu
 ture in which government really
 would represent all and not merely
 half of the people. It is the part3
 that today finds itself able to presen l a brilliant record of achievement
 founded on principles that make thu
 surest appeal to women.
