NEW PLAN FOR GOVERNMENT CONTROL

REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT OF

Thomas f. Logan, writing in Leslie's, says:
America will never again depend upon Ger
many for potash. That is but one Of the salts
flying assurances recently given Of the progress
of the chemical industry since the outbreak of
the European war. The remarkable success of
American chemists and chemical manufacturers
in developing the dyestuffs industry when Ger
man sources were shut off is strikingly shown in
report issued by the tariff commission In
1914 Germany had virtual monopoly in dyes
derived from coal tar. In 1917, eighty-one
American firms produced from American ma
terials coal-tar dyes equivalent in total weight
to the annual imports before the war. While
seven American firms had manufactured dyes
from imported German products before the war,
in 1917, 100 American firms were engaged in
this work and turned out 100000 pounds,
valued at $69,O00,000. DR.. Charles H. Herty Of
the American Chemical association declares that
America now leads the world in volume Of pro-
duction and holds her own in quality"

Chairman Hurley stated, on October 80, that
the prospective total tonnage Of ships turned
out in 1918 will be around 100000
The shipping board will have eventually more
wooden ships than it knows what to do with.
OF the 900 wooden ships contracted for, 287
have been launched and II are in service
Wooden ships have been found impracticable
for overseas service because they cannot carry
enough coal for the round trip and there is no
coal available in Europe. Consequently all the
wooden ships must be used in the coastwise and
Latin-American service, and experts say that
400 will be more than enough for these routes.
The United States shipping board has cancel

COAL SITUATION IMPROVED

1t is announced from Washington that three
and one-half million tons of coal have been
saved in the last six months by industrial power
plants which have adopted the conservation re-
concentrations Of the fuel administration
1t is claimed that national saving of twenty
five million tons, annually, is possible by uni
versal adoption Of these recommendations.
Some plants have reported to the fuel admins
tration saving of coal amounting to as high as
rs per cent, while the average saving runs from
10 to Is per cent
Reports from all parts of the country indicate
that the people Of the United States are ap-
preaching the winter season with good deal
more coal in their bins than at this time last
year, owing to the insistent warnings of the fuel
administration during the Spring, Summer and
Fall The estimated average in consumers
bins at this time is 81 per cent.
A high production rate Of both soft and hard
coal has been maintained so far, during the coal
year. For the first nine months Of the calendar
year Of 1918, soft coal production was Sc 100000
tons above the same period in 1917 this being
made up chiefly during July, August and Sep
TENDER.
It would thus seem that there is but little
likelihood Of repetition Of last years coal
shortage unless a series Of misfortunes occur to
prevent production and distribution, such as
widespread epidemic, unusually heavy SHOWS or
general strikes.

CHANGE IN SUGAR ALLOTMENT

On account of the Western beet crop being
manufactured rapidly and the new crop Of
Louisiana cane sugar coming into the market,
and on account of considerable gains in supplies
by reduction in the consumption Of sugar and
the patriotic conservation by the consumers
during the past four MONTHS we are able to an
nounce an increase in sugar allotments to three
pounds per person permonth for household pur-
poses and three pounds for every ninety meals
for hotels, restaurants and public eating places.
This increase makes good the Food Admins
tratlons promise to increase the householder's
allowance Of sugar at the earliest possible mo-
ment that our supplies would justify and make
1T possible for the householder to more freely use
the winter fruits and to use the fruits canned
during the summer without sugar.
The consumers in the cities may receive two
weeks supply for the entire household and the
rural and farm householders may receive one
month s supply at time.

ARGENTINA CONCENTRATES
HARVESTING IGAZU FALLS

Restriction of exports, as result of the war,
has caused Argentina to seek the development
OF it's own natural resources
A dispatch from Buenos Aires says that
proposal now receiving great amount of pub
Lefty and general approval in the newspapers
of that country is the suggestion made by the
minister of agriculture that the government
build an electric power plant at the Igazu Falls,
which, he says, would solve the fuel problem for

sources which now dormant for lack Of

reducing the limonite which is found in large

Ball bearings are a German inven-
ton, and it is only few years ago
that they made their appearance on
the market. Roller bearings, both cyl
indrical and conical, are an American
invention. The advantages claimed for
the rollers over the balls are that they
can sustain both the radial and the
axial strain and they are more easily
replaced when they become worn.
