time was coming when the wheat supply of the world

Deutscher Chemiker sent out the follow
ing remarkable call:
Dear Sir: Thanks to the indefatigable
eXertions of our Chairman, it will be our
privilege at our meeting on the twentieth
to rub elbows with three gentlemen who
have kept in close touch with the devel-
opment of the contact process. one of the
most notable achievements of modern in
dustrial chemistry, and to listen 10 their
erudite disquisitions on the history, eco
nomical advantages, technique and theory
OF the new method. In the second act
we shall witness the nuptials of Exalted
Science and Miss Vivacity. 1t will be
touching sight TO see the prince of good
fellows and raconteurs whom we proudly
call our own. touch every one. 'Noli me
tangere" does not go with him. and 1t is
wisest to establish a contact. Sanctolu-
dovican Ambrosia will be dispensed to re-
lieve the tension.
If this failed to gather a goodly com
pany. il would seem that the gentle art
of invitation writing is Of no avail.
