The Chemical Industry.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
Excellent advice is given to American
chemical manufacturers in an address
delivered an evening or two ago by
DR.. ]. H. James. professor Of chemical
engineering in tho Carnegie Institute
of Technology, before the Engineers
Society of Western Pennsylvania He
was discussing the effect of the war on
the supply of dyestuffs and other or
sanic chemicals which used to come
from Germany in large quantities.
There Is now a serious shortage, and
that shortage will be acute so long
as the war lasts. He therefore advisea
Americans to go into tho chemical
business, erect plants. engage chemists.
and seize an industry which is bound
to be profitable. and which can be re-
tanned after peace Is concluded.
Dr. James told the engineers what
there is a general readiness to believe,
and what comes with authority from
that speaker, that the opinion held by
many that the United States Is behind
Germany in efficiency and resourceful-
ness of its chemists is a fallacy. DR..
James said the splendid educational
advantages in this country brought
forth well-trained chemists who are
the equal of any scientists Germany
has. The protection of the chemical
Industry in this country was urged by
DR.. James. He said the only way the
industry could be protected was by
bringing about a correlation OF science

possible way, in order to build up
