The exigencies of war developed the
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals much
more rapidly than would have been
wise under normal circumstances.
Meantime scientific research has gone
rapidly forward in the matter of fixed
nitrogen production. In all human
likelihood within a very few years
simple chemical processes will be per

dependence upon hydro-electric or

more power than is now produced on

ANCIENT KINGS WERE
 VERY HEAVY EATERS
Tons of Food and Wine Were served At the Banquet Held in Olden Times

1 Dresden, Feb. 22.-Menus of olden times when kins and robber knights served tons of food and wine to their castle party guests during feats which sometimes went on for weeks. have ! been appearing recently in the Ger man newspapers which marvel at the ca pacities to cat and drink of the in dividuals living 300 or 400 years ago. Scientists. and letter writers to the newspapers in general, have taken up the subject of enormous repasts. and discuss at length the appetites of the nobility of former times. The scien- lists agree that it is scarcely conceiv- able how the kings and their friends could rally consume the quantities of food and drink which has been &C., credited to some of the famous old characters of history in Europe.
 An example Of a feast at the court of Hanover in the sixteenth century when IS different meat dishes were served has been published invirtually all Of the newspapers of Germany re- gently, and has brought out much comment. especially by writers who make comparisons of the fat days of 'the past centuries and the 'lean" days in Germany during the war, and since.
 The menu, compiled from old court records. follows:
 First section-Two kinds of wine soups, baked singing birds, meat pie venison, mutton breast. wild pork, veal, roast chicken, boiled beef two kinds of fish, vegetables and wine.
 Second section Lobster, trout carp, pickled meats, lamb chops, roast deer, young roast pig. OK feet, artich- oke, fig cake, desert. wine and bran dies.
 In those days, it is claimed, that even in the homes of persons of the middle class the dinner usually con- sisted of six courses each course con- stituting seven to nine different dishes.
 The old habit of gormandizing as practiced by the kings has passed for ever, most Of the writers agree. and the scientists aver that the people of today, who do not stun themselves, are happier and in better health gem erally than their gluttonous fore fathers who reveled in feasts of rich foods and strong drinks and some times died of apoplexy at the table before the eyes of all their guests who were also stuffed and trying to be merry,

IRELAND PROSPEROUS
Head of Provincial Bank of Emerald Isle Predicts Bright Future For 192t.

London, Feb. 22.--An era of pros perity for Ireland is dawning, says Richard D. Trotter, head Of the Pro- vincial band Of Ireland, and further more Irish bankers are ready to stand behind the Free State in its policy for the complete reconstruction of Ireland.
 In speaking recently before a meet ing of London bankers, Mir. Trotter said: ''The gratifying response to the issue of the Irish Free State loan has supplied most encouraging evil dence Of growing spirit of confi- dence in the stability of the Free State and it's government, and that feeling will be carried further when due importance is attached to the as- surances of the president and his re- sponsible ministers Of their intention effectively to regulate state eSpendi- ture and income until the national budget is balanced"
 MT. Trotter added that the govern ment has shown itself strong, firm and sympathetic. with the result that the majority Of the people were with it, and most citizens respected the law

DEpLORES PATH OF YOUTH
Revolt Of Youth Today May Be Called the Collapse of Restraint Says Church Lcadeg

Chicago, Feb. 22. One phase of what has been called the revolt of youth" today may be truthful1y called the "collapse of restraint.'' according to Dr. ". s. Bovard. corresponding secretary of the board of Sunday schools of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 Parents have almost quit raising their children: teachers wear no badge of authority, and society in gem cral refuses to train up children in the way they should go," pr. Boyard asserts. Even moral distinctions are denied if they offer the slightest bar rier to the completest satisfaction of life's many appetites.
 Any hesitation to follow ones nat ural instincts to the fullest is brand ed as cowardice CT hypocrisy. This teaching is finding its way into the thinking and living of our day.
 Tn this critical transition of au- thority it is our solemn duty to arouse the teaching capacity and kindle to flame the spiritual de- votion of the church in order that the on-coming generation may have an adequate personal experience of God"

ELECTRICITY BOOM TO
 ALASKAN GOLD MINES
Power Being Generated From Coal Slack in Sub Bituminous Mines
 Of Healy Fields.

Anchorage, Alaska, Feb. 22.-Th' use of electricity, generated iron coal slack in the sub -bitumious mine of the Healy fields, is one of the plan. under consideration as d means of un covering the estimated s200,000,00 in placer gold believed to lie in thu gravels of the Panama valley around Fairbanks, Chatanika and adjacent points.
 The proposal is being investigated by Professor Charles E. Bunnell, pres ident of the Fairbanks agricultural college and school of mines. Expert; have expressed the opinion that cleo tricity will solve problem that has been baffling.
 With the exhaustion Of the shallow ground in the Tanana valley, placer operations have been confined to hydraulic, dredge and shaft work. entailing heavy expense and many hazards in prospecting. To sink shafts requires thawing outfit and high priced fuel even with mines near by.
 In the frozen creek beds there is no trouble from water and pumping is obyiated. Yet in other places it often happens that live" water is encount- cred just when the prospector is ready for sampling, and elaborate pumping operations are required. Electrical thawing is said to be feas- ible, while pumping, when necessary, would be reduced greatly in cost by the use Of an electric pump.
 If electricity is employed, it will be transmitted a distance of approxi- mately ll0 miles to Fairbanks and distributed over an area Of 50 square miles.
 Lack Of capital has retarded the development of this region. It is held that the cheapness Of the electricity would remove this obstacle.
 One mine operator of the district reported that last year he took ou: more than sl0O,000, but made a profit Of only s2.o0O, owing to the overhead cost.
 With seemingly ineNhaustible coal fields supplying fuel for winter gen. eration, and the released water pow CT of summer producing electricity during the open months, it is predict cd that the next decade will see elec- trieity supplanting all other power in Alaska and supplying the medium through which the mining of precious metal, especially gold. will become q conservative commercial venture in- stead Of a romance with attendant hazards.

British Soldier Graves
 Action in Literature

London, Feb, 22.--The oldtime British soldier who scorned reading is fast disappearing. and there Is a growing demand for good books and magazines in army libraries.
 Recently the war office ordered the classics made available for enlisted men. Blood and thunder literature, however, still holds first place with Tommy Atkins. Among recognized works those of Dickens held frsl place 50 years ago; then Kipling be- came the vogue, with Shaw and Wells receiving some attention. Poetry does not seem to be popular with the soldier. although the song has had its place in army literature.
