A UOVEIINJIE.NT NITRATE PLANT
There ls u hallie un between the
government und the tlu Font Powder
Company to determine which ?bull
build a great water-power plant to
extract nitrogen from the air for mak
ing explosives. At. present, it looks
as if the powder company?, -will win,
or will at least succeed in killing the
project for a government plant.
If any big enterprise belongs legiti
mately in the flehl of' government
ownership aud operation, the manu
facture of powder would seem to be
long there. And if thc government is
to make Its own powder, it is a logi
cal and natural step to create a plant
for making tue necessary nitrogen or
saltpeter.
The need of this raw material at
present ls urgent. Without a more
plentiful supply than we can obtain
from Chile, we cunuot make thc pow
der wo need. Thc present scarcity
also handicaps the lllllng of war or
dern by private corporations, and the
high price Interferes willi the agri
cultural use of available nitrates for
fertilizer.
Granting that it is proper for the
government to go into till? business.
there is an added argument in thc
fact that lt would utilize for the pur-j
POBO water power on navigable
streams belonging to the public.
Most citizens would rather see the na
tion's "white coal" adapted by the
government directly for such a pub
lic purpose than have lt turncu> over
to nome corporation for purely pri
vate use. There ls no question of the
value of water power for extracting
atmospheric nitrogen. Experience
has proved that It ls the Ideal Source
of energy for this new and marvelous
Industry:
Germany f? at -present getting most
of lier nitrogen from Hie air, and
eventually Cia., whole-world may have
to depend entirely on the atmospheric
supply. The du Pont Powder Com
pany Itself desires a grenit water
power grant for this purpose-a fact
which explains tho active, hostility of
this powerful company and its af
filiated corporations to the govern
ment project. ?.?
FE?EKAL AID FOB Tit ADE
SCHOOLS
That Uncle Sam should aid thc
? states in establishing and furthering
vocational and. technical education I?
thei conclusion reached by tho Na
tional Chamber of Commerce. A re
port has Just been innd'e by a special
committee, o* which Mr. Frederick A.
Geier of Cincinnati, machine manu
facturer, is bead. Tho report makes
these recommendations:
"Liberal Federal appropriations for
promotion of vocational education in
tho Uni tod States.
"Thc Federal appropriations should
be allotted among tho states on a uni
form busts, and should bear a uniform
relation to appropriations made by
tho states for like purposes.
"The crc?t!on of u- Federal board,
to bu representative of tho interests
conrean <! and to be compensated
sutllclently lo command great ability.
"That tho Federal board should be
required to appoint advisory commit
tees of Ilvo membera each, represent
ing Industry, commerce, labor, agri
culture, homemaking, and gcnral or
'vocational tralnlng."><fcT
The profession of. agriculture has
boen advanced very much by federal
aid.. In this report uimllar help ls
asked for trade and Industry. Tho
I plan ls not to be concerned with pri
vate schools or colleges now giving
technical instruction, but simply to
i extond financial assistance- and en
couragement to schools - which will
roach the great army of children who
j now stop school at fourteen to go to
! work.. A f?d?rai comodsslon appoint
ed by President Wilson in 1814 on Na
! t ion al. Aid to Vocational Instruction
' reportod that only eight states had
established such instruction, and these
j systems had not yet reached oven
ono per cent ot the workers who need
ed Industrial trailing.
I The agricultural extension work ot
tho federal government has been /of
great use to many, and has increased
the country's resources. Widening out
I Uncle Barn's . educational domain to
includo training in trade and industry
-seems a natural*enough '.ext move.
8K?8CBAPBP-S AS FIRE
FIGHTERS
A skyscraper la of some uso to tho
community, after all, aside from serv
ing aa a landmark and. a subject for
picture postcards.. Ia a Uro In the
business section ot New York City the
firemen , were unable to get at the
flames in a comparatively low build-;
lug^ MoauBO Of the intense heat' and
Oie narrow street-,' so they climbed
Into neighboring skyscrapers that
towered over, the blazing structure.
There, using the hose lines belonging
in -Oje buildings, with power enpplteaj
by gravity from roof tank?, they pour
ed water into tho burning building
and pul out the fire.
The argument needn't bo carried
too far. A- skyscraper standing among
smaller buildings may itself bo sub
ject to extremo (ire peril because, ??
a lire gets much headway in it and itu
own wuter system fulls, il may be im
possible for the lire department to
develop enough pressure to reach tito
upper doors. A tire in such a build
ing might develop into u great catas
trophe lt is gratifying to learn, how
ever, tiiat these towering piles which
aro condemned today on eo many
grounds, can give some return tu
their smaller neighbors by way ot
compensation for shutting off their air
and sunlight and lowering their ren
tal value.
WHEN ?Ol?It SUT FADES
if you-tuan ur woman-get caught
in the rain and find that the color
runs or fades in your new suit, bc a
sport und don't complain to thc tailor
or merchant you got it from. It can't
he helped-it's one of tho horrors of
war.
The National Asoclatlon of Cloth
iers has just tient out a (statement
warning uti purchasers that colors in
garments jan no longer bo guaran
teed, and "they must learn to accept
thc situation as ono which no mill,
manufacturer or' retailor can exercise
control."
Thc Amcricun output of aniline dyes
is still far loo small to supply thc
lack of (Jerniun dyes. And gome of
thc American anilines, because of the
undeveloped stale of thc industry nnd
tlic liaste willi which manufacturers
have tried to meet Hie demand, aro in
ferior to thc "fast" .German dyes.
Eventually thc trouble will be end
ed either by the renewal of imports
or by Hie adequate response of the
American dye industry. Meanwhile
there's nothing for the consumer to
do but grin and bear lt. "Surely,"
suggest the clothiers, "the American
public can be trusted to meet thia con
dition cheerfully, if everybody Is frank
about it." ,
Weather Forecast-Fair and some-1
what coder Saturday; (Sunday fair..
"^he beat thing- I have seen-today
,was a check for $300 for the chamber
of commerce from the treasurer of
thc Blue Ridge railway." stated Sec
retary. Fitzgerald .yesterday. ? "This
check is tor u three years subscription
ac $100 per year. Capt. John" lt.. An
derson luis uiken much interest in se
curing this subscription, and it is cer-1
tainly appreciated.*'
. -o
Tile tickets" for thc lied pa th chau
tauqua arc now on ?a?d at the cham
ber of commerce. Mr. J. T. Hughes,
advance agent, has been In the city
for the. past.two days, and he brought
with him tho tickets. From present
indications the chautauqua will bc
great success. *
- o
, Tho? 34 tn et! al:; to be awarded to the]
wilment la tho Held contest were pur
chased th. ough W. H. Keese & Co.,
and it ia interesting to note that tills
ls rather a large . order for ' gold
medals, especially so when one con
siders that all of them were due to be
awarded in one day.
Unless it rains again today, .the
merchants of the city will doubtless
enjoy a good trade. Many have said
that last Saturday was the best day
they havo had since before tho Christ
mas holidays. All now havo a com
plete stock of spring goods, and peo
ple will find that Anderson is one o?
the best trading centers anywhere in
the Piedmont section. i

? "I am certainly proud of Byrd Ivoy,
Ute. little Williams ton fellow who.won
tho oratorical medal In the exercises
today." stated Mr. Mack Sherard of
Willlamston last night. "All of us tn

only 13 years old, but he took-off the
honora anyway. I am geing to make
a cohgressmaa out of him some of
