WORLDLY

10y AIIHur DeilliS ION, III NEW LOih
World.)
In the last days of April New York
had the first opportunity to see with
its own eyes cloths and silks and cot
tons that American manufacturers are
now coloring with American dyes, and
to compare the richness and durability
of their hues with those of German
dyes that have been used almost ex-
clusively hitherto. 1t was revela-
ton to most people.
But dyestuffs are only one of null
titude of victories which American
chemists have won since our country
took its place in the war. In an adj
dress delivered before the Society of
Sigma Xi, University of Iowa, and
published in Science a splendid idea
of the amazing triumphs of our chem
lists, and of their stupendous import
ance to the industries of America is
given.
Storage of Coal.
One of the reasons for the shortage
of coal last winter was the reluctance
of dealers to store large quantities,
because of the dread of spontaneous
combustion. Chemists and engineers
have been working on this for several
years and have at last demonstrated
that coal can be stored in large mass
les with fair degree of safety, and
that the loss of heat value due to
weathering is practically negligible.
Professor Parr told of one large pow
err and lighting concern which had in
storage more than 100000 tons of
coal last December and thus was able
to continue it's service without inter-
ruption throughout the winter.
Ending the Waste from Coke Ovens.
Coke is necessary for making iron.
Previous to 1914, rs per cent of the
coke was produced from bee hive ov-
ems, a process that burned all the vol
atile constituents of the coal or let
them fly away in smoke. All were lost
unless we count the heat produced as
having some value in the formation of
coke. But that procedure was like
burning up five dollars worth of high
grade material to produce five cents
sworth Of low-grade heat"
This is quickly being changed II
lis estimated that this year SO per
cent of the coke will be produced in
by-products ovens. The magnitude OF
the change can be understood when il
is recalled that few thousand dollars
suffice for installing beehive oven
coke plant, while it costs from $3,000,-
600 to $5,000,000 to install by-prod-
uct plant.
The By-PrOducts of Coke.
That coke has almost come to be the
by-product for the volatile or liquid
material is now the item of chief in
material is an item of great interest
The number of by-products of coke is
about 1000, among the most import.

warned that the foreign dyes would
soon be exhausted, that none were
made in America, that the men would
have to wear white socks and neckties
to match, and that gayly colored rib
bons and dress patterns for the ladies
would have to be forgotten"
There were then only about six firms
in this country engaged in manufac-
turing or importing dyestuffs. We
were importing these for more than
ten million dollars a year. Today
there are 100 corporations actively en-
gagged in the dye manufacturing bus
mess with a capital approximating
$160,000,000. We are making enough
dyes for our own use, and we are ex-
porting them at an average rate OF
more than s1,OOO,00O month. Last
year Great Britain alone bought 49,
100000 of our dyes.
The one exception of our catching
up to the home demand is that of in
digo blue, which the navy needs in
such large quantities that there is lit
tie left for the general trade.
The khaki uniform cloth Of the Am
erican army is dyed with product OF

government laboratory.
High Explosives.
This is for us an entirely new indus
try. Before the war the American
product was insignificant; today it APP
proximates 2,0O0,OOo,0OO pounds a
year. The explosives are made from
glycerine, phenol, and toluol, but the
greatest of these is toluol. All are
products of coal. From the coke ovens
we get about 100000 gallons of to-
luol, only quarter of the quantity
needed for our own army.
To meet the demand the city gas is
being stripped of this material. I'll
can be spared without any great detri-
ment to the gas, and amounts to APP
proximately .04 of a gallon per LOCO
feet of gas. Ten of the largest cities
of the country where this process is
to be first installed are estimated tc
yield an additional 10, 100000 gallons.
For every gallon of toluol five or si1
gallons of benzol are produced. "But
benzol has now come to be the start
ing point for the manufacture of car
bolic acid, and carbolic acid, or phenol
is the starting point for picric acid
another explosive, and also for tn,
manufacture of Bakelite, which ha!
almost completely replaced gutta per
cha in electrical appliances, and then
coming nearer home, it is Bakelit,
which furnishes the material for TIL,
manufacture of photographic records
One more possible adaptation of ben
zol is of interest. 1t is miscible in al
proportions with alcohol, and when 81
mixed furnishes a motor spirit in som,
respects superior to gasoline"
Potash.
In 1915 we made less than one thou
sand tons of potash. The output fo
the present year will exceed 1000,
tons. But even this is not enough, fo
we used to import 275,OOO tons a yea,
from Germany.

-VERY woman likes to look fresh and
dainty in Summertime, but the sd-
- ditional work of laundering white
and frilly frocks' is eften an item. Laun-
dresses, even if available, sometimes spoil
delicate articles, or iron them badly. The
o. best solution is for the woman herself to
master a few principles which viii make
Summer laundering easy.
In buying warm weather finery, it is well
to keep in mind the difficulty Of doing
up" each article. Much work can be saved
by using crepe and silk underwear. This
is cheaper in the end, because it can be so
readily washed out-even in a hAndbowl
while traveIling-and does not require any
ironing.
For fancy articles use a small folding
ironing board with soft pad. which can be
laid easily On any table, instead Of the
usual large, unwieldy board. The small
size permits the blouse or frills to be done
much more easily than on the large board.
The benefit of such an iron and board is
that many articles which are not really
soiled, but only mussy, and which usually
would be sent at once to the wash, can be
pressed out, and given several further
wearings. Many cotton frocks which look
bedraggled may be 'sprinkled with borax
water Zone tablespoon to a quartz, laid to
dampen, and then ironed without any
sotus washing.
Again. washing can be reduced by the
csre of the garments when not being worn.
Coat and skirt hangers are first aids to
the woman who wants less laundry work.

There are four types Of machine, as fol-

bFHE Emperor Napoleon had a habit
which made him the terror Of all
the ladies' Of the First Empire
court who were at all inclined to corpu-
lency. No matter how ceremonious the
occasion nor how great the rank Of his
victim, he would stop in front Of the I'M
fortunate and announce in q voice which
all the room could hear that he was sur
prised to observe that she was getting 80
heavy. Great soldier that he was, Napo-
leon regarded humankind from the sol
dier's viewpoint Of physical fitness.
Now that the men Of the world have
again returned to soldering they, too, are
beginning TO adopt the Corsican's stand

The exigencies of,war have complicated
the diet question Somewhat, though In the
long run the Government regulations win
prove most helpful. Potatoes. though not

them. So, II you eat potatoes, let the rest

one morsel OF starchy food to add to the
potato starch.

rye, oats and barley -four and abjure the

(2) The 'oscillating" or rocking type,
which throws the clothes from one side of
the tub to the other, and by this motion
forces the dirt out.
(S) The cylinder type, which consists
Of two revolving tubs, one within the other.
The clothes lie in the outer cylinder, and
the force Of the water while revolving
forces the dirt out as the clothes are
whirled around.
(D The vacuum" or bell type, consist
ing Of two or more bells or cones which
force down over the clothes, and then are
rapidly Withdrawn, thus creating 9 suction,
which pulls the dirt up into the water,
All these types are good. The style to
be preferred depends on the size Of the
family, and whether current is available.
In general, the poweroperated machine Is
so per cent more efficient than the same
machine worked by hand.
In every case, the washer should be
placed at right angles to the set tub,
and connected with the plumbing so that
by turning on the faucets the water rushes
right into the tub, instead OF through q
hose connection. II there Is a motor, It
should always be located on the top Of
the washer, not below, where. it is in dan
ger of being wet The washer should be
kept covered and dry when not in use.
The purpose Of soaking Is to remove
much of the dirt before the actual wash
ing; but II the clothes are soaked in tepid
water, and this water allowed to get cold.
It is found that the fibres Of the clothing
contract, and hold the soil still more
firmly. 1t should be primary rule, never
to work from q hot to q colder water. II
is best to begin with Q tepid soak, then
have hotter, and still hotter water even

"scald" that actually cleans and whitens
the clothes the most
BY all means, never mix different kinds
OF clothing as this will cause discoloration
and result In poor washing. Flannels and
colored clothes must never be soaked, but
washed all at one process from start to
finish.
In hot weather It is often possible to
wash and iron on the same day, the best
plan being to fake the clothing down from
the line before 1t is dry, or Just when II is
exactly damp enough to iron, without the
extra effort of drying and then dampening
again, which takes SO much time. Again.
