U. S. TO MAKE DYES
Munitions Workers viii Be So EN-.
pIoyed After War.

Those persons who have believed that
when the war in Europe Is over thou
sands Of workers in munition plants in
this country will be without jobs have
another guess coming IL the United
States Bureau OF Labor Statistics hes
been accurately informed.
The bulletin says for years the United
States has depended almost exclusively
upon Europe for dyes, chemicals. and
acids. When the war is over this coun-
try will profit more by the manufacture
OF these dyes in present mupition plants
than by turning out shells for the allies
today Many men in the munitions bust
ness believe that the compounds now be-
ing manufactured for war destructives
can then be used as a basis for the
manufacture Of dayes and chemicals.
This is a new and unfamiliar indus
try in the United States" says the bulle-
tin.
But it goes further and says that for
the time il has been here Americans
have made astonishing progress with it.
More men will be required in manufac-
turing dyes and chemicals than now en-
ployed in making shells.

FOX TERRIER GUARDS
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
slack" Is Companion Of Night
Watchmen and Is Fond Of
Elevator Riding.

One of the smallest guardians of
public property in the world is on
duty in the District building every
night from midnight until I o'clock
in the morning.
He weighs about seventeen pounds.
and yet covers more territory In q
given time than any Waterman in
one OF love, he being one of the few
who have been allowed to violate the
law which forbids service in govern
ment offices without remuneration.
He has been on duty about two years,
and during that time has a clean
record, never having made a mistake.
His name Is Jack. his nationality
American, and his extraction fox ter
rier. He Is the companion and prop
erty of J. NJ Marcee. night custodian
OF the District building.
Jack Is exceedingly clever, but no
respecter persons. Not long ago he
refused to allow one OF the District
Commissioners to enter the closed
portion of the building until his mas
ter came and gave the official per-
mission. He has a record for never
allowing anyone to enter the private
corridors Of the building without at
tracing his masters attention to the
matter, but has never spoken" an
unkind or forbidding word" or rath-
er barked an unkind bark. at any
one traversing that portion Of the
building open to the public at night
Jacks chief amusements Is riding
on street cars and elevators. He has
little seat in the night elevator
OF the District building and rides ev-
cry time he gets a chance. He has at
tracted much attention from dog fan
ciers who maintain that he is dog
of excellent breeding.

CAN'T HAVE YOUNG BRIDES
Veterans Not Allowed to Marry
Youthful Wives.

Topeka, Feb. s.-The Legislature
will be asked to change the law in
regard to the admission OF people
into the Soldiers Home at Dodge
City. Under the present law no
couple can be admitted there now
where the marriage occurred after
1892. The board will ask that this
date be moved up to 1905, in accord
ance with the laws governing the
granting OF pensions by the Federal
Government.
The limit was put on originally to
prevent young women marrying old
soldiers just for the chance OF get
ting pensions. Very few old soldiers
now are marrying, and the board
feels that the date can be set up a
notch. However, the bill will provide
that II a soldier marries a woman
under fifty-hve years of age they
cannot be admitted to the home.

EARLY HOURS DEVELOP LIT.
TIE INTEREST.
Prices Are Variable Within
Narrow Limits-War Stocks
Have Active Start, But After
First Half Hour They Ease
off-Most of the Business
Transacted Is of Profess
sionaI Character.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-There was not
a great deal of interest manifested
from any source in today's early stock
market. At times there was some
selling initiative, which was well met
by more or less active investment
buying, so that prices were variable
within rather narrow limits, with few
exceptions. Among the exceptions
wero the war stocks, which were
strong in the first half-hour or so,
but thereafter eased off to near the
Wednesday closing level Most of
the business transacted was Of pro
fessional origin. Outsiders are, for
the most part, awaiting war develop
ments, and numerous bargain hunters
expect to get stocks cheap should the
diplomatic break result in hostilities
with Germany.
United States Steel made fractional
gains at the opening, but most of the
time held closely to the closing level
at 100. The copper group was firm
after early softness. The shipping
shares were firm, but trading in them
was quiet, as might we'll be expected,
in view Of the conflicting rumors
ahoat in great numbers. Most OF the
specialties were reactioEary. The war
stocks were strong, but at times a bit
erratic. Crucible gained two points
in the first half-hour or so. and then
yielded a point or more. Baldwin
moved forward more than a point,
with some variations. Central Leather
and American Can were steady. The
railroad list showed a somewhat
hrmer undertone, but business in that
quarter was restricted.
Bonds were fairly active. One block
OF $4,000 United States Government
per cent registered bonds, due 1925,
was sold at 1oeh, of II from the last
previous sale, on Tuesday last.
There was engaged at the local sub
treasury 100000 gold for shipment
to Cuba.
TOday's Quotations.
Quotations today up to 80 o'clock
were as follows:
