MANUFACTURING CHEMICALS.

MANUFACTURING CHEMICALS.
War in Europe and the resulting
necessity for the United States to
manufacture it's own chemicals for
the industries and arts instead OF i'm
porting them are probably responsible
for an unusual increase in chemical
engineering courses at Iowa state
college. Usually something like a
half dozen freshmen choose this
course, but this year seventeen have
already selected it.
II think that the existing shortage
OF chemicals in this country has en-
phasized the importance Of develop
ing our own facilities for manufac-
turing chemicals" explains Dean A.
Marston Of the engineering division.
That has given emphasis to the new
opportunities that lie in the chemical
engineering field. Quite naturally
young men in casting about for a
profitable life work have been more
attracted to college work in prepare
ton for work in that field. The Unit
ed States is very likely about to en-
ter upon a period of Increased devel-
opment OF its industries and the field
for the chemical engineer is certain
to be correspondingly larger"

ILLINOIS NEAR THE HEAD.

Illinois was third among the states
of the union in 1913 in the value Oh
its mineral production, according to
figures Of the United States Geologi'
cal Survey, compiled In coop grafton
with the Illinois state survey. The
state owes its prominence as min.
ing state chiefly to its Importance as
a producer Of coal and petroleum and
to the development OF its clay-working
industries. In coal production Illinois
is exceeded only by Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, and in the production
of petroleum only by California an1
Oklahoma. In the manufacture OF
clay products Illinois ranks fourth.
The value of the mineral production
of Illinois in 1913 was s131, S25,212, OF
which the coal mines contributed $780,
313. 500, or SO per cent; the petroleum
wells s3o,971, $40, or % per cent; AND
the brickyards. tile works, and pot
teries $15,195,s74, Or IL per cent. In
1912 the value OF the total mineral
production was s123,06S,S67. including
s70,2e4,33s for coal, s24,332,6o5 for
petroleum, and s15,21o,99o for clay
products. The total increase Of So.
756.354 in 1918 over 1912 was there.
fore principally in oil production.
These figures do not take into 40
count the manufacture Of coke, the
raw materials for which are imported
from the Lake Superior region anc
West Virginia, respectively In the
manufacture OF pig iron Illinois stands
second only to Pennsylvania and Ohio.

were added the total value Of the min
eral products OF the state would be

of Illinois Is the manufacture Of Port.
land cement. this product IN 1918 hav-
ing the value of s4,7s5,s9s, an increase
of s1,34O,s11 over the previous year.
The quantity OF natural gas pro-
duced in Illinois when compared with
the output Of the other fuels is insie-
nifcant; nevertheless in 1918 tbs
value Of this fuel was s574o15. Coal,
petroleum, and natural gas had com.
bined value in 1918 or s10l, s59,53o, an
increase OF more than $500 900 over
1912.
The value of the stone produced IN
! Illinois increased from 1854, 504 IN
1912 to s4,140.953 in 1913. The pro.
dnction OF sand and gravel increased
from 6.957, 901 short tons, valued at
s1,929.s22, in 1912 to 7,992,14o tons,
valued at s2.070.491, in 1913.
4 Illinois ranks first in the production
the southern part of the state, and in
the production of tripoli. a residua,
siliceous material used as a basis for
abrasives and for filtration. Other
mineral products of the state are as

There Is rest for the people Of God,
rest that remains In the soul,
When under the scourge Of the chas-

Earth's trials like sea-billows roll.
Rest, rest, wonderful rest!
It sootheth the heart and it calmeth
the breast.
This rest it is mine, and by faith may

Oh, calm this wonderful rest!
There is a rest that will never take

And peace like river abides;

When riseth sin. inflowing tides.
Rest, rest, wonderful rest!
It lifteth the soul, like wave, on its

This wonderful, wonderful rest!
There Is rest to which sinners may
flee,
In Jesus this rest may be found:
He calleth the wanderer, Come unto
Me,
No longer by Satan be bound"
Rest, rest, sweet is this rest.
He calleth the erring to lie on His

This rest it is mine. Oh, take 1t as

This wonderful, soul-calming rest.
"There is rest" How blessedly true!
How gracious this promise Of God!

Yea, all who will trust IN His word.

Peaceful Talk.

Louisville Courier-Journal: Peace
talk is purely optimistic and mainly
idle chatter. Every thoughtful and
feeling American must wish the
speedy end of the war. But, except
as the result Of decisive battle, it will
not end until all the parties to it are
exhausted. The German kaiser is too
proud to ask It, the Russian car too
selfish, England ana France too mad
and too saddened. A few more days,
however, are likely to forecast re-
suits and tell the tale.

evidence that those who voted the
