LETTERS TO EDITOR
Writes on Jackson Highway

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 noticed an editorial in The Age- Herald two or three days ago in ref erence to the Jackson highway and enclose herewith a clipping in which I am quoted as advocating slightly different route.
 Automobile tourists will no doubt he attracted to the route which has the most +o offer-more points of in- terest to visit. etc.
 At Florence and Sheffield the iron industry begins, the great government nitrate plant will no doubt be estab- lished and the high bluffs all along Muscle Shoals. ending at Sheffield. rival the Hudson river palisades in New York.
 This route will follow the Jackson military road. the original route of General Jacksons army to New Dr. leans, up to Russellville, where there are extensive iron ore mines; thence up beautiful mountain to Phil Camp bell, which is the highest point in northwest Alabama, surrounded by clear mountain streams and lakes which abound in trout fishing, besides other points of interest for sightseers and tourists. such as Natural Bridge, the Dismal and Bear Creek falls. In fact, this whole region IS susceptible
 
 of being turned into summer resort, such as that of which Asheville, N. C., is the center.
 This route from Haleyyille to Jas- per and on into Birmingham will traverse some of the best mineral and timber lands as well as waterpower sites in the whole state, and the most attractive scenery that any route could offer Automobile tourists would no doubt include capitalists who might become interested sufficiently to make investments and establish new indus tries. I am in favor of building the roads from Decatur to Birmingham and lNalcng the old military road into Mis- sissfppi. and then let the Jackson high way committee inspect all three and designate the official route. I would have no fear that either of the other routes would be chosen in preference to the one outlined above. Yours very truly w. H. ISRELL.

Health Authorities
 Will Not Relax Rules
 Guarding Milk Supply

New York, October 2.-In the face of a serious milk shortage in this city be- cause of the controversy between the Dairymen's league and individual dis tributors, Health Commissioner Emerson declared emphatically today there would be no relaxation in the rigid inspection OF the supply department.
 Dr. Emerson declared reports received at a conference attended by John J. Dillon, state commissioner of foods and markets, who has been empowered by members of the league to make contracts for it's members and by the leading milk distributors of the city. Milk brought to the city from unusual sources will be subjected to particularly severe inspec- ton, Dr. Emerson stated.
 Dr. Emerson decalerd reports received from inspectors for his department esti- mated not 75 per cent of the usual supply came in today.
 The distributors, however. were hope ful of Keeping the supply up to at least 50 per cent of normal
 Some of the distributors who attended the conference protested to MT. Dillon that producers whom they had offered to pay the cent a quart increase de- randed had refused to do business with 'hem except through Commissioner Dill ion, whom they refused to recognize thus far.

Dr. Norton Tells How Chem ists Have Met Problems
 Presented by War
NOW INDEPENDENT
 OF FOREIGN MAKERS
A Wide Variety of Colors Are Being Produced and Extensive Plants Have Been Constructed
 for Manufacture
By HOLLAND

New York, October 2.-(SpeciaL)-A the time when there was grievous apprehen- sion lest the practical suppression of ex- ports from Germany of dyestuffs might seriously embarrass certain forms of American industry, Thomas A. Edison spoke encouragingly, saying that there was no reason why the United States might not in due time be able to become absolutely independent so far as dye stuffs are concerned. MT. Edison argued that the raw materials from which dye stuffs are obtained are secured in abund- ance in. the United States. There re- mained, therefore, only diligent research by chemists and, as MT. Edison believed, reasonable tariff encouragement in order to secure for the United States independ- ence of the world respecting dyestuffs.
 Not the least interesting or important of the discussions at the annual conven- ton of the American chemists held in this city last week was one which was based upon tests which our chemists have already made in the manufacturing of marketable dyestuffs. The interest in this subject was so great that the largest audience which was assembled to listen to any of the discussions or addresses was the one which met in the large hall where the chemical associations meetings are held to hear an address upon Amer ican dyestuff manufacture.
 The address was semi-official in the sense that it was delivered by Charles H. Norton who has just completed a very careful investigation of the coal-tar sit uation in the United States for the de- partment of commerce at Washington. Dr. Norton is recognized a S a very high authority upon this subject and is known to be a man of careful statement, being disposed to understate rather than to Ioverstate the results of his investigation.
 Therefore, when Dr. Norton made the assertion that within a year there will be made in the United States enough an- iline dyes to supply the normal demand of American industries there was not the slightest doubt that he was well within the facts.
 Men of capital are accepting as relia- ble the investigations of Dr. Norton, for they are now building at Buffalo a plant which when equipped and ready for oper- ation will be able to supply at least one half of the required quantity of dyes. The fact is that owing to the low cost of production in Germany, as well as to the great skill of her men of science, the United tSates was for years negli- gent, not presuming that there would occur any such contingency as would pre- vent American industries from obtaining at reasonable cost all the dyestuffs they needed.
 There are industries which have not looked with favor upon a tariff which might protect American dyestuffs. The reason for this disposition is acknowl-

 The Eastport Standard tells it's read CTS that a boy fell on the previous day and cut himself.
 'Tanyrate the Standard says he re- ceived cut which "extended diagon- ally across the anterior aspect of the foot in the metatarsal region, sever- ing the subcutaneous tissue and the superficial muscles"
 All of which shows that previous day is dangerous if not deadly thing to fall upon.

MATCHING GERMANY

I CUIIIpIdIUL l American dyestuffs were found to be in ferfor in quality to those which formerly i were imported from Germany. But our | chemists have proved equal to the re- responsibilities placed upon them. They i have now perfected formulas which make it certain that the quality of the dyes
 now made In the United States will in
 all respects equal the dysstuffs formerly l imported from Germany and some of the colors are supposed to be superior to | those imported from Germany.
 l It has sometimes been said that not the leastso of the benefits to the United States speaking entirely from the commercial | or business point of yiew-which the Eu- ! ropean war has occasioned Is the disclos-
 ure that our own chemists are men of
 science and inventors and our own raw
 materials are sufficient to provide the United States with commodities which l heretofore our manufacturers found 1t
 necessary to import
 This is especially true of dyestuffs and there are some reasons for presuming
 that it will be true of potash and per l haps other raw material The audience 1 that listened to pr. Norton was in- ] formed that the dyestuff industry has l been established in the United States Io
 stay, no matter what Germany do after
 the war is ended. The Germans created a great trade in this commodity because
 they have fostered it in every way.
 | One of the predictions made at this gathering was that all the belligerent na-
 tions will as soon as the European war l is ended establish dyestuff plants under government supervision and sponsorship.
 That probably means subsidy. Japan is | to make a great effort to obtain a fair share of the foreign trade in dyestuffs
 which Germany heretofore possessed.
 Should the United States within the
 next year or two become independent
 of Germany with respect to dyestuffs, we would in that event indirectly supplement
 or assist the allies who are already pre- l T'arins to prevent what N. Ciernenceau
 calls German economic overlordship" in
 trade after the war is over. Some of the
 allies will for several years refuse to sell
 raw material to Germany and 1t is said
 that Australia will not export a pound
 of zinc to Germany for some years after
 the war no matter what tempting price
 may be offered for this commodity.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-10-03

edged, for it is based upon the desire of the industries to secure the dyestuffs at as low cost as possible.
 American dyestuff manufacturers be- fore the Eurpean war began were mak- ing considerable progress in the mann- lecture of this commodity. They were able to produce col6rs of whose produc- ton at one time Germany was supposed to possess the secret. It was stated to the audience that Dr. Norton addressed that just before the European war began the American were producing 120 different colors, but as the war went on and im- portations from Germany ended only 15 colors were produced. Nevtheless. the manufacturers were not discouraged. They put up suitable plants available for the making of dyes and five months after the beginning of the war they were producing four times the amount they did manufacture just before the war began.
