The American Chemical society be-
lieves that here is no chance to es-
tablish an American chemical bust
ness unless a high protective tariff is
reenacted. In recent address to the
society, L. Z. Stone, a leading manu-
facturer, declared that government
aid must be obtained if manufactur-
ing chemists are to produce coal tar
cOlors Even with this advantage, it
was his opinion that the patent laws
would have to be changed and that
the American consumers must give
American manufacturers preference
Without this assistance the dye in
dustry, in his opinion, can never be
success. Mr.. Stones views are in har-
mony with a report just issued by a
committee Of the American Chemical
society. 1t demands not only a high
preferential tariff, but asks that un-
derselling be prohibited. 1t assumes
that foreign producers are at liberty
to engage in such monopoly pursuits
as are banned in this country, and
that, therefore, the American manu-
facturer must be protected.
The beliefs of certain industries as
to protection should be reasonably
dealt with. Curt denial of requests
must leave them unconvinCed. If the
dye industry believes that only by pro-
lection can 1t prosper, demonstration
Is required to lift the cloud. The tar
if debates are not so long past that
the public can fail to remember the
protests of the wool interests. A re-
duction in the wool tariff meant. the
wool men said, partial destruction of
the industry. Free wool was simply
unthinkable, as it would carry with it
10 disaster not only the mills, but the
jobberS and the sheep men as we'll
And yet the wool industry, up TO the
time the European war began, had ac-
tually appeared TO prosper. All wool
manufacturers may not admit this to
be true. but it is a fact nevertheless.
Wool has Jared fortunately. Read
justment is the inevitable result OF
tariff changes. Business must adapt
itself TO the new basis. The old the
DRY Of high protection is discredited
We can not believe that the Amer
lean Chemical society really expects
to get all that il asks for. The dive
industry in this country is unde-
velOped. An unusual opportunity is
presented. Germany, the chief pro-
Queer of chemicals viii be removed
as a competitor for some years to
come. What, therefore, have the
American manufacturing chemists to
fear? Why do they require such pro-
lection when the chemical market is
threatened because Of insufficiency of
supply? If the patent laws are wrong
they should be changed. 1t may even
be proper TO recognize certain diff
ferentials But TO high protection We
ould not return.-Indianapo

PROBABLY BOTH WE'RE RIGHT

Referring again TO the little diff
ference of opinion existing between
Chief Sibrel of the first department
and Supt Toyne of the waterwor<s,
as TO the sufficiency Of force in tight
ing the recent Twentieth Century
garage fire, let us suppose, fOri the
sake of harmony that both are right.
Possibly there was so pounds of water
force. Probably that is ordinarily
sufficient. on the other hand it APP
pears from other sources than Chief
Sibrel that the force was weak, and
this may have been an extraordinary
case.
II puts it up to the city administra-
ton again to buy boosters. With such
an attachment TO the department the
force could have been created 1t
also answers the recommendation of
the Indiana inspection bureau that the
pumps be eschewed and the money
be spent for an aerial truck. Again,
on the other hand, we trust the ad-
ministration will not get excited and
take to turning on direct pressure TO
the destruction Of everybody's plumb
ing.
If there was SO pounds pressure at
the fire. and il was not sufficient. what
the city wants in case of fire is more
pressure, and. from a source that
Will do no damage. That is about all
there is to it and it is enough.

.sRELATIVELY BRIGHT; RAPIDLY
IMPROVING"

Let the worst be said and admitted
that can be said respecting business
difficulties in America" remarks Sec'y
Of Commerce Redheld in his letter to
the chamber of commerce Of the
United States. "our condition remains
not only relatively bright but rapidly
improving, and in many respects both
prosperous and promising"
That is, indeed, a fair summary Of
the condition of American business
today. The difficulties into which We
were thrust by a worldwide war in no
way Of our making have not wholly
ended, but they are abating. Condi-
tions are improving.
The financial strain has notably
eased. The question Of meeting our
debts abroad no longer really worries.
Our sales to Europe are rapidly bal
ancing our former purchases, includ-
ing those Of securities returned. Even
cotton, the weak spot in our industrial
situation, is beginning TO find broad
er market, both at home and abroad.
The new banking and currency sys-
tenn is at last in operation. Under it's
influence and the release of money
from crop-mOving work interest rates
are lessening. There is still a large
and serious problem of unemploy-
mentl put Speclal measures are taxing
TO relieve that situation. Many fac
tories have returned to full time work.
Others are finding new kinds of work
to do in place Of the old that has
ceased.
1t is not usually profitable to think
how much better off other people are
than we. 1t is often profitable to
think how much better off we are.
1t inspires thankfulness and patience
and courage, and those are the quail
ties we most need-patience to en-
dure and courage to go ahead, know
ing that our prospects are relatively
bright and rapidly improving. New

EXPERIMENT WORTH WATCHING

We a-e to have an opportunity to

prison reform, had himself shut up in
Sing Sing as a prisoner, that he might

 How to Destroy Worms.
 The methods by which the army worm, which has been reported from various parts of the state as appear ing in such large numbers as to do serious damage to lawns and Vege- tation may be destroyed, are discuss ed in a statement given out by State Entomologist w. E. Britton of New Haven. The insect, known to scien- lists as Helcphila (leucania) unopuna- ta has so far been reported from West Haven. Bridgeport, Greenfield Hill. Botsford, New London and Groton "The insect" says Dr. Brit ton lis closely allied to the cut worms. the adult being brown night flying moth which lays it's eggs on the grasses and weeds in the late summer It is always present but feeds upon native vegetation and 1t Is noticed only when very abundant, for 1t is then that it attacks and in jures lawns, grass, grain and corn In cultivated fields.
 Heavy Roller or Maui Useful.
 "A few caterpiHars on the lawn may be crushed by a heavy roller or maui: in some cases hens may be em- ployed to devour them; they may also be killed by spraying the grass or sprinkling them directly with ordin- ary kerosene or by spraying the grass with arsenate of lead, one and one- half ounces in gallon of water.
 Furrow Stops Their March.
 When large fields are attacked. a deep furrow should be plowed across their line of march, with the opposite side perpendicular. In the bottom of this furrow deep holes should be dug at intervals of eight or ten feet The caterpillars will accumulate in the furrow and especially in the holes in large numbers and may be killed by sprinkling with kerosene; or by COW ering with hay and buring. A zone around the infested section may also be sprayed with arsenate of lead to kill the caterpillars when they feed upon the vegetation, thus preventing damage to adjacent fields"
