WASHINGTON. -, one OF the

nitroglycerine research laboratory
here, born OF the World war.
When the United states entered
tho conflict Il was seriously unpre-
pared In the matter OF nitrogen for
explosives The war department un-
dertook to remedy the situation as
quickly as possible, but found itself
greatly handicapped, because only a
few men In the country wero famll-
lar with the nitrogen process
The war department Immediately
called into consultation some Of the
ablest scientists available. following
which a nitrate complssion was
formed. The commission recon-
mended the building OF plants for
the flxation OF atmospheric nitrogen.

secured for the explosives during the
war and for the production of ferti-
li2er materials as we'll as nitrogen
compounds useful In the arts during
peace time.
The laboratory today has per-
sonnel Of 1O7, occupies II buildings

proximatcly 81 100000.

TRY COMMON SENSE.

For the fiscal year OF 1923 which ends one year
from June Uncle Sam will face a deficit Of one-half
billions OF dollars, according to Secy Mellon.
Even this figure adds to the usual revenues some
two hundred millions OF dollars which he hopes to
collect from Great Britain their loans and there
is certainty that this will be paid. Up TO date
this country has been a very poor collector.
SO there is every believe that the gov

The admission is its own indictment Of any policy
OF economy which is a boast of the administration.
