'? 1,1-J ' WORLD'S BIGGEST. NITRATE PLANT * ' ? Mammoth Explosives Factory in Alabama Built in Eight Months. ALL SPEED RECORDS BROKEN Could Supply 13 Per Cent of Allies' Needs Had War Continued. By GARRET SMITH. Lifting the ban of war secrecy hat just now brought to light for the Brat time one of the moat stupendous feata of construction In history?the plan ning and building In leas than one year of the largest ammonium nitrate plant In the world and of a city around It fbr the housing of Ita 25,000 workmen and their famlllea. At the aame time !? revealed on# of the ctyef reason? why Germany suddenly aurrendered a year ago. The- German hlg|? command knew that the United States was ready at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to manufacture 18 per cent of all the high explosive* needed by all the Al Ued armies on all fronts in the expect ed drive of the following Spring. The first person on construction wort reached Muscle Shoals ou No Yember 20, 1017. On February 18, 1918, ground was first broken forjjl permanent plant building. On Oc$||l ber 20, 1018, eight months and eight days later, the manufacturing plant had begun the production of ammo* niurn nitrate. When America entered the world war In April, 1017, she had no means of producing the enormous quantities of high explosives necessary to pro vide the huge army she planned to raise. Th% very fact that our Indus tries were already worked to capacity providing ammunition to the allies seemed to make further production for our own use impossible. ' Fertilizer Process Turned to War Use. At this juncture the ^Ordnance De partment turned to cyanamld, a com mercial fertiliser, which had for some years been produced successfully at Niagara Falls, by a process the Ameri can rights of which were obtained In 1007 from Germany by Frank Sher man Washburn, head of the American OyftD&mld Comnanv By thl8 process cyanamld was pro duced by extracting nitrogen from the air and combining It with calcium ob tained from limestone rock and carbon from coke. By putting cyanamld through three more processes both am monia and nitric acid can be extracted from it and combined into the explo itive, ammonium nitrate. Mr. Wash burn was invited to present plana and estimates -for the construction in the shortest possible time of an ammonium 'nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala f bam a, and a contract between his com pany and the United Statea was enter ed Into under date of November 16, 1017. ? ? To havet#general supervision of plan ning and carrying outthe work an or ganisation known as the Air Nitrates Corporation was - formed to act as ageht of the Ordnance Department This corporation provided the general designs, supervised all the work, and operated town and the plant. It also installed all equipment in the chemical plant. The varioua other sections of the work were sub let to organizations that were special ists In the directions In which they were asked to help. New City Built From the Ground. It was necessary to build a new town to house the laborers. For this job Westinghouse Church Kerr Com pany was called In aa contractor.. This company also built the buildings of the chemical plant Within four months 12.000 workmen had been assembled and a city capable of accommodating 25,000 inhabitants.had "been completed, RJVtth lodging, restaurants, stores, of fices, police headquarters, schools, fire departments, hospitals, motion picture .Maters, electric light and sewerage systems. .> . The construction of the plant proper was begun on February 10, 1018. Just eight months and eight days later the big plant began a steady output of am monium nitrate. 'The plant contains rUS permanent buildings, with a rtof area of over 26 acres. To provide the electric current It was necessary to build a steam power electric plant, tor it would have taken three ycaA er mere to complote the dam and hydro-electric station now un der way. This plant, built by the 1. G. White Corporation, Is one of the larg est steam plants for developing elec trical energy In the world. Th' output of the plant la 800 tons of ammonium nitrate a day, and thta can be produced at Muscle Shoals at a cost I less than one-half the atandard fixed price paid by the Government for am -ionium nitrate produced by other methods nnd one fourth ftp one-fifth the cost of other high aoq^oalvea of equal strength.Com pa rear with the older process of making ammonium nitrate, the Mtvlngs made by this plant would ; hare paid the $6O.Op$0OO cost of the satire plant In about one and ims half yeave of operation.

Hearty Praise froin Cleveland Six Owners . -r~. The Cleveland Six will dominate the light car field because it is so much better. It will lead because it gives so much more in smooth flowing power, in ease of riding, in style and quality, than other light cars. Thousands of* Cleveland Sixes are on the road right now, per forming iii every sense and in the last degree right up to expectations. Dealers demanding much have driven ('level a wis thousands r,Smiles across country, over every kind, of roads, ptitting the car to every con ceivable test, Anil they sav there is no other light car like it. No other that will do so much and do it so well and so economically. ?' Cleveland owners are enthusiastic about Its ease of driving. "It handles like a feather." "X911 c*11 drive it with one finger." "It just almost steers It self." These and hundreds of other ph rase* of praise come from enthusias- 7 tic Cleveland owners. "It stepsout as fast aa any car that, was ever built." 'The speedometer flips around to. forty or fifty before you " know it." "There s practically no vi bration?' "It fairly glides over long mountain climbs." Cleveland owners tell us all these things and they will tell you if you ask them. To really know and appreciate the Cleveland, to understand all that we 3 mean wHfen we say It is so much better, you must ride in it and drive it. Come In andJtiee. ike Cleveland Now ?)
