Town That Hugo Loved.
To the students of Victor Hugo the
town OF Vinnden near the eastern bor-
der is sacred from the fact that the
Frenchman deeply loved the town. He
paid flte visits to 1t, going there in his
travels and his exile. The house where
he lived in 1870 and 1871 is appropri-
ately marked.
Centuries before the Romans made
a protracted stay there, building a fort

hordes, drove them out. and the vic
tors also gave the name to one OF
heights there-Hunnenley. Rock OF the

INTERESTING STORY BY GIRL

by little girl eleven years old. who

it comes to keeping books Mr. vaplon
OF the Colorado Agricultural college
hopes that inasmuch as all children
are expected to keep records. many
will develop into home bookkeepers.
This little girl. Hazel Kent, says:
Bookkeeping is the most important
part of any business; farming is a
business just the same as banking.
hence It Ii Just as necessary for a
farmer to keep a record Of his ac-
counts as 1t Is for any other man. this
Ia a period Of Investment in all lines
Of business; why cannot the farmer
keep up with the times and put his
business where it justly belongs and
run the farm with some system Of
bookkeeping. SO he can know at the
end Of a day. or month. or year. that
the farm is on paying basis: let
the daughter. or daughters, keep the
books for the home and family ac-
counts. and the son. or sons, keep the
books for the farm. II We children
would help our parents in this way.

Luxembourg has been almost
lost sight OF while Europe is
fighting Its great war. Vast
war armies swept over this In
FAINT monarchy at the beginning OF the

damaged far behind the battle lines.
Luxemburg was In no position to op-
pose the passage OF an empires forces.
and, therefore. quietly submitted to
the passage OF the German army.
Hence It Is still the possessor OF q
welldeveloped industry. OF smiling
fields and meadows. and Of a people

OF gasoline, and 1t is in this connec-
tion that Doctor Rittman's discovery
will be of such great benefit. Not only
will 1t be available to the Standard OIL
company, but 1t will be at the dis
posal of any reputable company in the
United States.
The patents, when they are issued.
will be given absolutely to the people
Of the United States, and measures
will be taken to insure that the new
process will never be allowed to any
one to use as monopoly.
The discovery as to gasoline is per-
haps exceeded in Importance, how.
ever. by the discovery Of the fact that
such products as toluol and benzol.
heretofore obtained from coal tar
alone. can now be made from petro.
leum. .dl
In normal times there is produced
an enormous quantity of benzol and
toluol in Germany. where. asvin all
Europe. the coke is made In by-product
ovens. and the tar and its associated
products saved. In the United States
only about 25 per cent of the coke is
made in such way as to save the by
products.
Benzol and toluol are raw materials
in the manufacture of many medicines.
dyestuffs and explosives. The fact
that the United States is apparently to
have a plentiful source of raw mate
rial for the making of these will prob
ably be stimulus to the building up
l - -, A.
of the present war Americans pro-
duced only small fraction of the dye.
stuffs actually used in American in.
dustries. The fact that since the out
break of the war the United States has
been unable to obtain an adequate
supply of dyes has had already an
effect in causing effort to be made for
launching an industry for the produc.
tion of dyestuffs.
The Rittman discoveries are also of
the utmost importance as to explo.
| sives. In case of war in which the
United States would be shut of from
an outside supply of benzol and toluol,
1t would be able to produce for the
use of the army and navy from it's
large supplies OF petroleum practically
any amount of these materials desired.
Many of our modern drugs and medi.
! cines are made directly or indirectly
from benzol. The production of this
latter material at a cheap price would
be great stimulus to the building up
of a large synthetic drug industry in
this country At the present time Ger.
many has monopoly in this business.
The man who has made these no.
table discoveries was born in San
dusky. Ohio. December 2, 1883.
IN 1908 he received a bachelor of
arts degree from Swarthmore college.
in Pennsylvania, and in 1909 he re-
ceived his master of arts degree from
the same place. During 1909 he served
as chemist for the United Gas I'm.
provement company of PHILADELPHIA.

instructor in Swarthmore from 1909 To
