GERMAN CERAMICS
SURPASSED HERE
Pottery and Glass Of Good
Quality Made in United
States.
CHEMISTS SHOW ADVANCE
Speakers at National EXPOSE
ton Say America Need Fear
No Competition.

The United States has developed its
ceramic Industries during the last few
years to point where It Is now COM
pletely independent OF Germany and
Austria for fire brick. pottery and glass
ware, according to speakers at the Ma
tional Exposition Of Chemical Industries
at the Grand Central Palace yesterday.
1t was pointed out that but little opti-
cal glass was being manufactured in the
United States up to the time the war
broke out. The shutting of OF importa-
tons from central Europe caused manu-
facturers and technical experts to busy
themselves and remarkable Developments
have resulted.
One OF the most important functions
OF the American ceramic industry, SO
~ V. Bleininger OF the bureau of stand
ards OF the Pittsburg Laboratory said
is the production of the supply of refrac-
tories for the metallurgical operations of
the country. He said that the demand
for these products had been enormous.
but that 1t had been met by American
manufacturers.
THE lack OF the German 1ilingenberg
clay for crucible making is not as seri-
GUS n matter as has been thought" Mr..
Bleininger said. at has beLJn conclusively
shown that 1t can be replaced both by
English and American ball clays. In a
similar manner the German Gross AL
merode clay used in manufacturing glass
pots has been replaced satisfactorily by
American clays and synthetic mixtures.
The manufacture Of hard fire, true
porcelain has received powerful Inn
petus through the war. Three plants are
already operating successfully on the
production of chemical porcelain and are
making rapid strides with respect TO
quality. The manufacture on large
scale of hard porcelain tableware is 10
be begun in the very near future. BY
the use OF automatic machinery our
manufacturers will be able to meet for
eign competitors.
The plants now being constructed
here excel all European potteries in the
elimination OF unnecessary labor cost
and the expenditure OF fuel. The devel-
opment of n hard fire porcelain industry
Is indeed a national duty. II would be
preposterous and humiliating to contem-
plate any further dependence on Ger
many and Austria for these products.
With the establishment. of this industry
We shall be in a position to seek South
American markets TO which we have a
fair right"

EDUCATIONAL HEAD
IN CABINET URGED
National Supervision Needed
for Big Work of Future,
Teachers Are Told.

Teachers from the New York public
schools and educational delegates from
outside points met in Carnegie Hall last
night under the auspices Of the National
Security League to receive suggestions
for the extension Of school work in
patriotic service.
Dr. George d. Strayer, president OF
the National Education Association,
said that IL the nations future work
was to be consumnated in n thorough
manner secretary OF education must
be appointed in the Presidents Cabinet.
ANY inquiry into education at the
present Juncture is big with issues OF
national fate" he said. "fn the great
work of reconstruction which lies ahead
there are aims set before US which will
try no less searchingly than the war
itself the temper and enduring quail
ties of our race. and in the realization
Of each and all OF these education. with
its stimulus and discipline, must be our
standby.
AN illiterate citizen is not good
citizen. but we have programme TO
take care of something like 1000, 900
illl,erates in the United States.
I'VE believe that education is as I'M
portant for the nation as is commerce,
labor. war and the navy
Or. Strayer also referred TO the phys
ical shortcomings of the pupils of the
public schools. He said that the chill
ren's PHYSICAL defects were noted and
placed on card. but that no moro at
tention was given to either the child or
the index card until the doctors navt
visit, when both made their appearance
once more. The children must be prop
erly educated and trained. he said, II
they are intended to become useful cit.

WANTS WAR CLAIMS
FILED PROMPTLY
Secretary Of War Asks for
Legislation to Prevent
Bclated Actions.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-In spite OF
the drastic economy and industrial
measures taken by the Government 10
meet the war situation, with resultant
pressure upon and practical comman-
deering Of much private business and
enterprise, the Court OF Claims OF the
United States. the tribunal before which
all claims against the Government must
be brought. is exceptionally free OF suits
against the Government. The calendar
is shorter than at any time since the
civil war, out of which thousands of
claim actions arose.
Fearing an avalanche OF actions after
peace is declared. Attorney General
Gregory, at the instance of Secretary of
War Baker. has prepared a bill for sub
mission to Congress to compel the bring
ing OF claim actions within four months
after the alleged damage.
Several of the war emergency acts re-
Gently passed provide that in case Of dis
agreement between Government officials
and the owners as to value of property
taken the Government shall pay GER
tain percentage and the owner may sue
for the balance.
This would prevent delay until peace
time by claimants who now fear that
actions might lead to public question
OF their patriotism.
The Secretary of War pointed out
that some of these claimants who are
now reluctant to press their claims In
court owing to the fact they would be
open TO criticism as eXorbitant would
have no such feeling at the end of the
war. Another reason stated is that
such suits ought to he brought while
the Government is able to obtain neces-
sary witnesses. who are now tenn
porarily in Government service, but
will scatter at the ond of the war.

EXPERTS URGE LESS MEAT.
Dairy Products and Lcafy VcEe-

ATLANTIC C1Tr, Sept. 2s.--Milk, eggs
and the leafy vegetables can break or
make a nation. said experts to-day to
the war convention of the American
Hospital Association. The authorities
advised again4r any Limitation OF the
use of milk but said meat should be
saved.
DR. L. c. Cullen of Baltimore. a spe-
cialst. said the boycotting of dairy
products because OF high prices was a
matter OF serious concern and that
while meat might be more palatabe
than these products and leafy vegc-
tables the latter had more ultimate
value when the food elements were
considered.
He cited the negro population OF
Baltimore, making one-sixth of the
citys total. whese the use OF PRO
tective foods" as he called the dairy
and vegetable staples. was relatively
low. while deaths from rberculoss
were comparatively high, and this was
reflected in the poorer sections OF other
large cities
Miss Vera Van Rensselaer, OF the
National Food Administration told the
convention that the Administration
"samblsd upon the patriotic spirit Of
the American people when our allies
called for wheat and the response was
a fine tribute TO the nation"
