With the onward march of the times
science has become to an ever-increas-
ing extent the daily and intimate part
of business. Practically all of the
numerous scientific bureaus of the gov
ernment, in one way or another, touch
many business activities. But perhaps
a the present time the work, respec-
lively, of the bureau of standards of
the Department of Commerce and the
bureau of mines of the Department of
the Interior are the more important.
When the expectation of coal tar
products by Germany was stopped by
the war, and manufacturers who use
dyes and those who make explosives
could not obtain the necessary ingre-
dients, the bureau of mines called at
tention to the fact that there was in
this country great abundance of raw
material and that $75,000,000 of these
products were being wasted each year
through the use of the beehive coke
oven instead of the by-products ovens.
1t urged cautious building up of the
construction of additional by-product
coke ovens that have added to the
yearly output several million gallons
of benzol needed in chemical manu-
features.
The bureau of mines at the same
time gave to the country a process
devised by one of it's chemists, DR..
w. F.. Rittman, for the manufacture
from petroleum of benzol and toluol.
used in the manufacture of dyes and
high explosives.
There has been an enormous demand
for the publications of the bureau of
mines. They are distributed free.
The bureau of standards operates

would have become difficult il not i'm

The oleomargarine and butter indus
tries are also greatly interested.
The bureau undertakes tests re-
quiring labora tories that very few pri-
vate manufacturers could afford. The
results of these investigations are
published. They cover wide range OF
subjects and are issued for general
distribution to the scientific. technical
and industrial interests concerned with

This is being received with intense interest by throngs at the Plaza at every per Rormance.
 A<vaudeville bin of much snap and ringer is offered. The Footlight Girls, half dozen pretty misses and a, brace of comedians, present a merry 1nelange Of melody and nirth. Clyde sHeager and Walter Goodwin, with or s1ginaI ideas of entertainments keep the audience in high spirits.
 The Howard Sisters have an act that for beauty of costuning and scenic equipment compares well with, any seen here this season. They are fortunate in the selection of their musical numbers. Thurber and Thurber score very heavily with their burlesque acrobatics. The eFuturist IDanceD is especially popular.

 Of the 100000 shares, the insular government. is to take 1O1,0OO, the rest being offered to the public. The governments share is to be paid for with $65OyO0O from the insular treas ury, $90O,O00 from the agricultural bank which now is merged with the insular bank. $5OO.O0O from the pay ment of a loan made last year to negro sugar planters and the rest from other government sources.\
 There was a fight in the 1egfs1a- ture as to the character of the bank One faction wished it to be largely agricultural in it's purpose in order. that it might aid Philippine farmers to get the most out of their soil. The bill, as passed, was. a compromise and really establishes a general bank which is expected to pay particular attention to agriculture.
 Under the terms of the law, the bank must be inaugurated by August 1, but there are indications that it will open it's doors for business be- fore that date.
