Exemption Urged for
Chemists of Country

A committee of chemists, advising
the National Council of Defense. has
suggested that a comm - of three,
to be composed of one iI.4ustrial chem
list, one university professor and one
representative of the government, be
appointed to advise the President,
through the War Department, on re-
quests Tor exemptions from Army eerv-
ice OF chemists and students of chem
istry.
The committee of chemists pointed
out the present shortage of trained
men in that science, which is becoming
more acute through the demands of
war conditions 1t requires from four
to seven years to train a chemist the
longer period being required for those
on whom will fall the vast needs of
the government and industries in soly-
ing new problems of research When
the more mature chemists are called
into the service of the government
younger men must be trained to fill the
vacant positions.
The committee of chemists decided
that it is of the greatest Importance
that steps be taken to keep and i'm
press into service. in chemical lines
chemists drawn by draft for service in
the United States Army.
Scientific knowledge" says the COM
mittee of chemists "offers no special
resistance to bullets, but when applied
to artillery. munitions. transportation
food products or sanitation 1t may be
the means Of saving thousands of lives
and millions of dollars"

Thousands of these wooden garments
are being made today throughout the

usually supply articles for the battle
ship or cruiser bearing the name of
their state, and in other cases for the
men of the ship named after their city
or for destroyers whose name has some
historical or sentimental connection
with the place.
Many naval officers have written to
the Navy League expressing their ap-
probation for th.c work undertaken
for the men of the navy. In war time
when men write from the fleet their
names and the names of the ships are
| not made public. For that reason the
names of the officers who wrote an in

wrote:
