note that the Department of Com
merce. Washington. D. c.. will have an

President Wilson has already indi-
Gated his deep interest in the chemi-
cal industries and the heads of the
big chemical societies of America
have extended him a respectful and
earnest invitation to attend the open
ing on Sept 20th," says Manager Fred
Payne, and the chemists hope that
President Wilson can spare the time
to examine the exhibits thoroughly be-
cause Grand Central Palace will show
during this week everything that
America digs or makes and in no
other way could he have brought to
his attention so comprehensiyely all
the vast resources at his command
Chemists maintain that national de-
tense is primarily dependent on chem
ical industries.
Among the interesting things that
everyone can see and learn about at
GranOd Central Palace are the manu-
facture of aniline dyes, beads, hard
rubber. promoters, observation-disclosures
