Italian Chemist
Perfects Synthetic
Ammonia Process

Rome, May 2.-Production of syn
thetic ammonia Is announced by Or.
Casale, prominent in the Italian chem
ical industry, who says he has solved
the problem by the use of special ma
chinery and a chemical reagent of his
own invention,
The process requires no material ex-
cept air and water and works auto
matically without expense for atten-
ton, energy or material II forces a
mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen
through catalyzing tubes at pressure
of 270 atmospheres and transforms
the two gases into pure ammonia.
DIR casale expects soon to employ
units that win enable Italy to have
900, 900 tons of ammonia for fertilizers
each year, besides surplus production
for export.
The undertaking is financed by
American capital and the plant has
been visited by Alfred Denis, an Amer
lean commercial attache here, who
has reported to Washington.

Measured. by the age of the records
OF mankind on earth, the length OF a
single generation. or even a single
century, is but short span. But there
are single lives that are privileged to
see greater events and greater pro-
gress than are recorded in a dozen
centuries of the past. There is a TEN
.dency among all men, as there has
been for many day, TO look on the
good old times" and wish for a share
of life as it used to be. Perhaps the
student of the twentieth century will
look back upon the romance that is
dead, just as we are prone to look
back on the picturesque events of CO.
lonial days and the organization of
the first provisional government west
of the Rocky Mountains, and its de-
velopment, with feeling that we lost
much by not living when these sig
nificant things were happening. This
sentiment was manifested in word
and action at Champoeg Saturday af-
ternoon when little band of nj,
neers met to pay tribute to those fif-
ty two sturdy men-women did not
vote in those days-who stepped on
one side of line, with Joe Meek as
the leader, to determine this all inn
portant question.
These anniversary occasions at
Champoeg are as profitable as they
are interesting, and the meeting last
Saturday was not an exception to the
general rule, except, perhaps, from a
standpoint of attendance.
Early in the forties the sturdy pio-
neers of Missouri and other sections
east of the Mississippi began to look
with longing eyes over the great di->
vide which separated them from the
fertile lands occupied by the Indians.
If they did not sing, at least they
thought,
This is the land we long have
X. sought,
And mourned because we had
it not.

to Crippled and

IT was a gladsome day Sunday for
many old and crippled persons in Sa-
lem. Sights that they never before
dreamed of ere revealed to them when
they were taken In automobiles con-
tributed by public spirited citizens
over blossom routes" In Marion and
Polk counties. For several hours IN
the afternoon numerou autoloads Of
wide-eyed, delighted old men and la
dies were shown the wonders of the
valley as painted by the brushes Of
spring.
The idea to take the old citizens Of
the city who have not had an oppor-
tunity to see the blossoms originated
with clyde Rice, city treasurer, and
member of the board of directors of
the Commercial club. The plan was
adopted by the directorate at its meet
ing last week.
Such excIamatlons as "OhH" did
you ever?" "My goodness" Isn't that
Just too wonderful for words?" burst
from the autos as the drivers drove
slowly through the blossoming orchard
districts. The aged people declared
that they have not enjoyed a treat so
much in many months, and expressed
regret that they could not ride through
the valley, discerning here and there
the most beautiful sights. all day long
