plant were really put to work and run at capacity
 The straight line arrangement of the nitrate plant permits a steady flow of the material in course of manufacture with maximum effi- ciency.
 The process roughly, is the burn ing of limestone into lime, mixing it with an equal quantity of crushed coke and the fusing of the two into calcium carbide. This, when cool ed and ground, is placed in ovens in contact with nitrogen gas ob- tained from the air.
 Heat is applied then to form cal cium cyanamide. and after treat ment, ammonia gas results. A DOT tion of this gas is oxidized to form nitric acid and the other part used to neutralize the acid, form- ing ammonius nitrate, which is evaporated and grained for ship ment to munitions or fertilizer fac tories.

FIVE KILLED PLANE CRASH,
 KANSAS CITY
Bodies Are Burned and Manifestations Men,
 One Woman, Victims

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 28-The burned and mutiliated bodies of four men and one woman lay in the city morgue today, victims of a crash of Central Air Lines plane which dived and exploded in a mass of seething flames last night within one mile of it's des- tination, the Fairfax Air Port.
 The dead are:
 DYKE LAUDEMAN, pilot of the plane.
 c. McKENNoN, Chicago business man.
 JAMES EGGERT, Chicago music publisher
 MARGARET DICE, of St. Jos ephs. Missouri.
 WILLIAM FLYNN, Kansas City theatre owner.
 All are believed to have been killed by the impact and not burned to death.
 The plane side-slipped and dived from an altitude of about 800 feet. It had circled the field and the motors were apparently normal, then the plane flattened for the landing, faltered and dipped into a corn field. Aviators said the most plausible explanation of the tragedy is that the controls failed.
