After all these years Of shipments
the Dante mine at the tip top of Bull

GERMAN PATENTS AID Dye INDUSTRY

America in 1914. American chem
lists have succeeded In dupllcat-
ing on short notice many Of the
processes which were built up by
generations of German dy~estuffs ex-
perts. A greater impetus will be given
to the industry, according to American
experts, when the amendment to the
patent laws places patented German
processes at the disposal Of American
manufacturers. There are 40 firms In
this country in the new dyestuffs in
dustry now pending 6O,O00,0OO pounds
of dyes a year.
While the wal has created this great
industry for America and has multi
piled the output of many other indus
tries, it has also taught Europe the
use of American lubor-saving machin-
cry and of American l~abOr-saving de-
vices, according to Albert Il. Parker of
the firm of Marks & Clerk, English
patent lawyers. Mr.. Parker says that
American manufacturers IN the past
frequently failed to take out patents
in England and in other countries be
cause the patented article was pro
duced in this country on such n scale
that there was not the slightest feal
of competition abroad.

Country 70 Profit In Future From
Highways Built as Necessity Of
Warfare and Defense.

II is the general opinion Of motor
lists arriving in Washington from all
pnrts Of the country that the war

prod to speed up road building.
Whatever the war costs the nation
in dollars and lives, It will result in

thing not to be overlooked.

to its wonderful record of efficiency in
a pinch is a system of roads which can
be Travelled in safety and at speed dur
ing all seasons.
Here on the East, where the troops
will be massed before sailing, good
roads are considered as Of vital inter
est to the nation just as the raising
Of vegetables in fields and yards which
heretofore have produced nothing.
Throughout the Atlantic area the
road builders are hard at 1t, and, In
spite Of the urgency Of the calls fol
men for other purposes, help is beinl
enlisted in the cause.

Before the war, for instance,
v saw in England the electric hand
trucks and motor %trallers which are
used to expedite the handling of goods
in this country at freight and express
terminals. Recently they have been
introduced all over England, the short
age OF men making it imperative. Add
ing machines and calculating machines
were almost unknown in England be-
fore the war. Now they are being put
into use wherever they can to save
human labor. Labor-savlng American
farm machinery has, of course, been
introduced into farming In all parts
of England, and in almost an equal
degree the use of American labor-sav-
ing devices has been introduced into
other Industries. This is more or less
true, likewise, of France, Italy, and
other countries. American tool manu-
! ~facturers have been virtually re-
eoulpping the industries of these coun-
tries. Before the war Germany was
n leader in Europe in labor-saving ma
chinery and standardized methods, but
the other countries nave Deeh mOueTu
lied by the war in this respect. In
dustrial methods have been changed
all over the world. The reports of the
United States government abound In
instances of It. For example, 1t is
stated that motor lorries have been in
troduced in considerable numbers into
the Federated Malay states. Ever
China has entered upon an era of man
ufacturlng and is producing many
manufactured articles which were
previously imported. 1t is plainly In
dicated that after the war all coun
tries will put forth their best efforts
to do their own manufacturing, an
the whole world is being educated
largely by the United States, to us,

Misunderstanding of the larger
manufacturing concerns in this coun-
try have recently obtained through
British connections lists of the Ger
man-owned patents which have been
taken over by British firms since the
beginning of the war. These lists
have been sought by manufacturers
in this country in order to place hem
IN a position to take advantage at once
of the provisions In the Webb Dill on
trading with the enemy, Which enables
American firms under certain condl
tions and for adequate compensation
to make use of German patents during,
and in some cases, after the war.
Through British representatives, 10
American dyemakers have received
complete lists of the patents for max
ing dyestuffs, which British firms tool
from their German owners with the
authority Of the British parliament
shortly after England entered h war
1t was recently announced by the de

SO far the dye industry in this coun

Of German patented methods, because

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Estimated Cost Of s~soo,0oo,ooo to Get
Surplus Farm Products to Mar
ket or to Railroad.

After careful inquiry 1t has been
found that the average haul Of the
American farmer In getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship
ping station is IL miles, and the aver
age cost Of hauling over the common
country roads is 25 cents a ton per
mile, or SO a ton for a 12-mile haul.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at 300, 100000 a year. On the
estimate of SO a ton for - miles this
would make the total cost Of getting
the surplus products Of the farm to
the local market or to the railroad no
less than 5000, OOO, OOO-a figure greater
than the operating expenses Of all the
railroads of the United States. If any
thing could make an argument for
good Wagon roads this statement sure,
