For those who will not have an

Pacific Exposition, the management
of the Popular theater has arranged
to bring the exposition to Honolulu.
This may seem a little out of the or
binary, but it is, nevertheless, fact.
The motion pictures of the exposition,
which will be seen at the Popular on
Wednesday and Thursday of the pres

almost hear the "barkers" along the
famous Joy Zone.

of gasoline, and it is in this connec-
ton that Doctor Rittman's discovery
will be of such great benefit. Not only
will 1t be available to the Standard Oil
company, but it 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 a 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 ben2ol,
heretofore obtained from coal tar
alone, can now be made from petro-
leum.
In normal times there is produced
an enormous quantity Of benzol and
toluol in Germany where, as in 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 plentiful source of raw mate
rial for the making of these will prob.
ably be a stimulus to the building up
here of new industries. Up to the time
of the present war Americans pro-
duced only a 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.
ton 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 off from
an outside supply of benzol and toluol,
it would be able to produce for the
use of the army and navy from its
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 ben2ol. The production of this
latter material at a cheap price would
be great stimulus to the building up
of large synthetic drug industry in
this country. AT the present time Ger.
many has a monopoly in this. business.
The man who has made these no.
table discoveries was born in San
dusky, Ohio, December ., 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
He served as lecturer and laboratory
instructor in Swarthmore from 1909 to
1912, and continued his studies in en-.
cheering, so that he was granted a
degree of mechanical engineer in 1911
