Great Britain Becoming
Independent as to Dyes

Edinburgh. Scotland, Sept. 20. -
Correspondence of the Associated
Press) The three days session of
the annual meeting of the Society of
Chemical Industry showed that the
chemical industry of Great Britain
would in the future largely break
away from its dependence on Germany
and other countries SO far as dye and
fine chemicals were concerned, and at
the same time brought out prominent
ly the need for still further research
and development on the part of
Britishers generally.
Papers were reaG Indicating the
enormous waste of by-products of
coal going on in the country, while
1t was asserted five per cent of coal
itself was wasted in some pits, twenty
per cent. in others and forty per cent.
lost in certain Doncaster pits.
On the subject of tar distillation-
a process yielding ABOUT a dozen
chemical products speaker stated
that the industry had suffered from
lack of cooperation and that more
scientific attention with a central re-
search laboratory were required to re-
capture the fine chemical and color
trade from Germany.
Regarding the prospects of British
dye supplies it was stated that at pres
ent the necessary products were re-
quired for the government, coIors
varying from khaki to violet being
required. but that after the war acids
would be in abundant supply and with
plants now in course of construction
as well as organized research, the
British chemist was being given a

TURKISH WOMEN PAINT

Constantinople. Sept. 90 - AS an
evidence of the constant increase of
Occidental influences in Turkey, a
considerable number of young Turkish
women were permitted to exhibit
their paintings at an exhibition, just
concluded, of the work of the pupils
of the Imperial Lyceum Club Some
200 paintings in all, many of them by
women, and all of them by Turkish
painters, were placed on view. Critics
familiar with Occidental painting and
judging the work exhibited by Occi-
dental ideals. commented very favor
ably on many of them. The jury of
award was headed by the Grand Vizier
himself painter. He has been en-
powered to have struck off medallions
to be awarded at the two exhibitions
annually that are contemplated FOR
the future.

chance to compete with the German
chemist as we'll as with those of Am
erica and Japan.
1t was generally agreed that some
state subsidy or protection by tariff
should be afforded for at least ten
years At the final session a paper
was read on rare earths' its author
asserting that the situation was full
or promise for Great Britain's future
independence of foreign raw materials,
largely used in chemical manufacture.
Professor Louis stated that he had
just returned from an official investi-
cation of the resources of rare earth
In India and in his opinion Great
Britain was in vastly superior posi-

quality and raw material.

HAIL TO THE BUTTONEESS
 FROCK

When the average young man takes ment with the average young lady and waits at the average trysting place an average length of time he often won CTS, in his average mind, what is detaining her, what is keeping her from appearing at the prescribed hour. And, unless the average young man has a sister who will take him into her confidence he does not know that when women are late in keeping their appointments it is because of the simple and plain fact that they are spending those precious moments arranging their frocks, are attending to the buttoning up of these garments in the back, and, as they cannot ac- complish these things all by them bers of the family to assist in the operations. That is the reason for the average young lady's late arrival on the average scene. In the case of 1DdTIlSu WOIllSIl, Ol COuISc, lIelI Ilu>- bands are pressed into service to do the buttoning g-up-the-back.
 But all these inconvenience that mark the present day stage of civiliza- tion are slated to go into the discard. There are to be no more delays on ac- count of those horried old gowns that b,1t tnr the h9 ok the side tho front, as the case may be. Accord nig to the latest fashion reports that come up from Philadelphia a button less frock has been devised by some frock's most distinguishing feature is that it can be slipped on in a few seconds without the help of three or four maids and a few members of ably informed. this buttOnless frock can be put on by milady without any help from anyone; she can attend to the matter all by her own sweet sclf. from tired husbands shouting Allah.

that the dressmakcr in the Quaker City has created and put on the mar ket a frock that will cling to sweet femininity without the aid or abot- tance of buttons, it is possible that whatever is substituted for these heart rending things may be altogether more difficult in adjusting. To be sure, it is said that the frock can be put on in few seconds; but that means nothing. A minute in the hands of a woman can rapidly evolve Into an hour, two hours, three hours. Time? She has no conception of she would lose her charm. Time at best was meant for slaves and women are slaves only in the sense of lowing to fashion. This is another reason why the buttonless frock may never become reality. How can it become fashionable? When can it be worn, on what occasion? So mere man, have not your hopes raised up to be dashed to the ground. Ye husbands. prepare to continue on the track laid out by fashion, and attend to the but toning-up-t the back process before theater parties and the like. Ye youths whose hearts in the Spring lightly turn to love, know that if you make an ap- pointment to meet Molly, or Bertha, or Edith, or Ruth, at half after the hour of seven, she will amble along somewhere in the close proximity Of o'clock, or, mayhap, even after the curtain has gone up on the first act. You never can tell about woman, no more than you can about the button less frock.
