NEW WORKERS FACE
A COAL SHORTAGE

New York, Oct. IA shortage OF
coal is in prospect for this city this
winter, according to the dealers, who
declare their bins are being depleted
their shipments delayed and that the
outlook for immediate or eventual re-
lief is poor. The shortage applies to
both hard and soft coal.
Prices to New York housholders for
stove and nut coal vary from 81 to
$7.75. Dealers declare that with sea-
sonable weather the price will reach
IS before Thanksgiving. and that So
coal is not too high to expect at
Christmas. A cold winter will send
rrices higher.

FEDERAL AID IS
NEEDED BY STATE:
(By Clio Harper.l

The friends of the University of
Arkansas, which should include ev-
cry resident of the state, are deeply
interested in the bill now pending in
congress providing for the establish
ment of a mechanical arts experiment
station in connection with all the
land grant colleges of the country.
The indications are that the bill will
be passed. 1t proposes an annual APP
preparation of $4,000 for each col
lege, to be used in the solution of en-
cheering problems OF particular inn
portance to the states in which the
several colleges are located.
Director J. H. Miller of the agri-
cultural extension work, says there
are several practical problems in
Arkansas that demand attention, and
for which the appropriation might be
used Immediately. He considers the
question of good roads one of the big
gest things to be considered by the
state at present, and in dealing with
it, it is important and imperative that
something definite be known of the
road building materials to be found
along the proposed highways. A thor
ough survey of the state should there
fore be made.
Another problem that is coming to
the front with the increase in the
demand among Arkansas farmers for
modern comforts and conveniences
en- the farm, is that of the small
electrical plants that are available for
rural homes. The farmers are more
and more approaching the Importance
of electrical appliances as q means OF
not only providing comforts but les
SEEMING work. Experiments along this
line would be beneficial.
The use of fertilizers, of which ma
ture has provided an inexhaustible
store in Arkansas, is not yet fully
understood Experiments should be
conducted in sections Of the state
where there is an abundance OF low
grade phosphates, and the chemists
could probably discover a practical
means whereby this material could
be handled economically and profita-
bly,. :.
Business, industry and economic Ell
ficiency generally would feel the ef-
fects of the influences that would
come from the proposed mechanical
arts experiment station. With an IN
ventive, resourceful and practical
people, and with natural resources SO
abundant and diversified, the United
States at large, and Arkansas IN
particular should be capable OF pro-
ducing everything needed in indus.

Uncle Harry Explains
About War Time DYES

As Uncle Harry threw his coat over

those warm evenings in early June-a

he had received just before the office

Maybe it's from one of your boy or
girl friends. Uncle Harry. asking you to
give q talk on some special subject"
said Joe. who. with Jimmy, was sitting
on the porch railing directly in front OF
Uncle Harry.
Wouldn't be surprised IL II was" said
Uncle Harry as he ran a pencil under
the flap and opened the envelope.
That's just what It is. boys, and It's

but I couldn't understand It,"

Uncle Harry laughed heartily as he

something about DIVES when we read of
them in the paper."
We'll. in the first place. I'll answer
joe" said Uncle Harry. For many
years Germany has been the leading
dye manufacturing country. Prac-
tically every nation on earth. includ-
Ing the United States. bought the
larger part Of the dyes they needed
from German manufacturers. Then
the war came and you know whnt hap

That's the whole story in a nut

supplies of dyes and so the prices
went up and w and up. until the peo-
pie outside of Germany who had small
quantities of dyes In stock made thou
sands and thousands OF dollars. This
was particularly true In the United
states where great quantities OF dyes
and coloring materials are used every
year in coloring all kinds OF dress
goods. and In the making OF colored
parers ard inks"
what are dyes made of? Can't they
be made In the United States?" asked
Joe.
Most of the dyes made today come
from coal tar which is thick. sticky
substance that is produced from coal

coal tar chemists extract an oily LIQUID
called a.n-i-l-i-n-e. Then certain other
chemicals are applied 70 this aniline
and In that way the dlfferont coiored
dyes and coloring materials are made. 4"
Il thought some dyes were made
from certain kinds of vegetables and
woods" said Jimmy.
Some dyes are made that way"
said Uncle Harry but only small
quantities nowadays. The anillne or
