Mrs. Buchanan had four friends in the car with her and was turning into North Front street from East Elm, when the boy, who was crossing the street in a hurry, stumbled and fell in the way of the car. Before Mrs. Buch- anan could stop the machine tine front wheel had passed over the boys body The little fellow was taken to the Sanitarium and after thorough ex- animation, he was pronounced unin- jured, save a rather bad bruise about the back and stomach. He was car ried to his home yesterday afternoon and is getting along excellently.

Since going to Italy, Miss Daugherty has not been heard from but her friends at the New Britain General hospital have every reason to believe that she is safe and well.

Given an oppor- tunity they, too, will acquit them selves in a manner that will reflect to the credit of the Institution of their training.

One Hundred and Ninety American
Firms Now Make Dyes
and Drugs.

WaShington.-The remarkable sue
cess of the American chemists and
chemical manufacturers in developing
the dyestuffs industry, when the sup
plies of dyes from Germany were cut
off, is strikingly shown in report
just issued by the United States tariff
commission entitled, Census of Dyes
and Coal-Tar Chemicals. 1917"
At the outbreak of the European
war, Germany dominated the worlds
trade in dyes and drugs derived from
coal-tar Before the war, seven Amer
ican firms manufactured dyes from
imported German materials. In 1917.
100 American concerns were engaged
in the manufacture of dyes, drugs and
other chemicals derived from coal-tar.
and of this number, 81 firms produced
coal-tar dyes from American materials
which were approximately equivalent
in total weight to the annual imports
before the war. The total output of
the 100 firms, exclusive of those en-
gagged in the manufacture of explo-
sives and synthetic resins, was over
54,OOO,O 600 pounds with a value of
about $69,OOO.OOO.
Large amounts of the staple dyes
for which there is a great demand are
now being manufactured in the United
States. few of the important dyes.
such as the vat dyes derived from aliz-
arin, anthracene, and carbazOl, are
still not made. The needs of the wool
industry are being more satisfactorily
met than the needs of the cotton in
dustry.
The report gives in detail the names
of the manufacturers of each dye or
other product and the quantity and
value of each produced, except in
cases where the number of producers
is SO small that the operations of in
