War Demands Broaden Work Tn Chem. istry, Says Secretary of the
 Interior

From the annual report of the Secretary of the Interior:
 In this department we have during the past year had a glimpse of the expanding TO- nance of chemical study. We have found adventure in the search for the hidden secrets of petroleum, natural gas, and coal tar, of coal smoke, and the refuse from a hundred furnaces and smokestacks. We appear to have suddenly driven into a chemical age or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that we have sud, denly realized that we arein such an age. New explosives, new fertilizers. new sources of power of food. new materials for con struction and destruction, new preservativeS of life. and new agencies for the sweetening and wholesoming of life-these are to the credit of the modern chemist and as by-product of this war we are to have a higher appreci. ation of this branch of science, and our genius for discovery which has so greatly been ap- piled to problems of mechanics will find in analytic and synthet ic chemistry a field of opportuni ty subject to almost infinite ex- pansion.

That among the 346 men who took
the physical examinations not more
than forty-two were found unfit for

an examination of the records this

or more are now ready to 60 to war

Two hundred and Lightweight regis
trants qualified for general military
service and fourteen for special or

examination. The names of ten men
went into the list of remedial defec-
tives. Two registrants were asked
ITO report in sixty days for re-exami-

On the examination blanks there
are four groups. Three groups are
marked out by the examining physi-
clan while one group is kept clear.
I If group A is kept clear it means
that the person has qualified for gen
ieral military service. If group B is
clear that signifies that the person
is qualified for general military ser
vice when cured of some malady. II
group is clear the person has quail
fed for special or limited military
service. while group D kept open

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
BANNED DURING WAR

Road construction during the war

ment as "non-essentiar' and Is
taboo.
And, II such a road is to be built
by q bond issue, it will have to wait
until peace times.
This was the word today from the
Capital Issues Committee OF the
Treasury Department. No security
issued will be asked for unessential
road construction, it was formally an
nounced.

now before Congress will empower
the eommittee-or q similar commit

Highway construction has been
classed with rivers and harbors i'm

necessary as a war measure, but
generally to be deferred
