The top Of the dam is a flood gate
bridge over which the Dixie Highway
also will pass. A lake created by the
enormous wall extends Is miles up
stream and is three-quarters of a mile
in width. Excess water power not
required for power purposes, and flow
ing over the top OF the dam, will be
controlled by So steel gates, each 3S
feet long by IS feet high. All are
operated by a control system which
will permit one man to open or close
all of the gates in two hours, thus
securing the most dependable food
regulation.
These gates are designed to dis
charge up TO 1000 cubic feet of
water per second, three times the dis
charge of the St. Lawrence River in
its international section. Throughout
flood periods a sheet of water 10 feet
thick will be roaring over each of the
So spillways, sweeping down the
sloping side of the dam and crashing
into the riverbed below.

units, two auxiliary units and shore

! AS the water passes through the

to begin will determine whether it
now can develop the 100000 horse

Work on the Muscle Shoals develop
ment began in July, 1918, as a war
measure. Up to that time the United

pendent upon Chile for nitrates, with
out which explosives cannot be made.
1t became apparent that a f1otilla of
hostile submarines might cut off that
supply with comparative ease. Ac-
cordingly, the Government decided to
build a plant through which to tap
the ineXhaustible reservoir of the air
and force the relu :tant element, nitro
gen, into some combination with other
elements from which nitrates could be
formed. Muscle Shoals. in the north

DISEASE PLAYS HAVOC

Epidemic Has Ragged Since Summer
 With Thousands of Mules Killed in Effort to stop it.

Stockholm, Feb. 27.-Nearly the whole of Sweden has been swept by an epidemic of mule-disease and in an effort to stamp 1t out thousands of animals has been killed. The first cases of the disease were noticed in Scani in the south, and immediately every precaution was taken to prevent its spread.
 Farms affected were isolated, military forces were mobillzed and formed a ring around the farm. All birds in the vicinity were shot and the grim method of slaughtering all the livestock--cattle, swine, poultry, etc.--was exercised. This proved of no avail and the disease then spread to the north of the country, where the best bred herds suffered great ly. During November and Decem- Der the government has paid out

CHRISTINE

THRISTINE, meaning Christian,
~ comes from the Greek verb chrio,
meaning to touch or anoint. In early
times it was translated to signify the
Old Hebrew prophetic Messiah (the
Anointed) and became the title for the
Savior, the very touchstone of faith.
The first person known to have been
baptized under the title is st. Chris
tina, a Roman virgin of patrician birth,
martyred in 295.
Her fame Travelled through Greece
and Hungary and was brought from
the latter country to England and
Scotland by the Atheling family in the
person of Christina, abbess of Rom
sey. The Scotch promptly abbrevi-
ated the name to Kirstin. Germany
preserved the original Christina, but
has several diminutives, among them
Slime and Tine.
Through John Bunyan's Christiana as
the feminine Of the allegorical hero Of
"Pilgrim's Progress" this form be-
came popular in England. Christine is
Kirste or Kirstine throughout Scandi-
navia. Chrissie, Xina, Christiana and
Christina are English favorites- France
favors Christine only, and Italy calls
her Cristina. In Germany she Is
Christiane or Kristel.
Christine's talismanic jewel is jade,
whose potency for good fortune and
health seems limitless. 1t Is a sacred
stone to the Chinese, who believe that
all good things come to her who
wears it and evil can have no power
over her. Given to a newly married
couple, 1t Is said to assure the birth Of
an heir within a year. Christine's
lucky day is Monday and 6 is her lucky
number.
