Discover New Food Sources
Chemists Adapt Familiar Sub.
stances to Cheaper Diet

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is. Dis
covery of new food sources as we'll
as methods of adapting familiar sub
stances to a palatable and cheaper
diet has been made by American food
chemists recently, says a bulletin is
sued Saturday by the American Chemi-
cal Society.
Sprouted grains, beans and peas are
excellent food substitutes, according
to the bulletin. They develop the
much needed vitamines which increase
the nutritive quality of food. The
sprSuting, as it does in the case of
matted barley, develops the starch into
a more digestible form, which is quick
ly assimilated and is especially valu-
able for the feeding of children and in
valids.
Several new processes have been de-
vised for the manufacture of powder red
milk. matted milk and condensed and
evaporated brands. AS large part
of the expense IN the milk business is
due to transportation, much freight is
saved by conversion into the condensed
and concentrated forms.

pieces .4re Com pHcated

Importers stated yesterday that with
in the next few weeks there will appear
on the American market Swiss watches
and clocks of even more Implicated
mechanism than those produced by the
Swiss experts prior to the war. Some
of these clocks will resemble astro-
nomical and baromctrical instruments
rather than timckeepcrs. They will
show the phases of the moon, register
weather changes, movements of tides,
temperature changes and provide an
automatically adjusted calendar in ad
dition to keeping time.
Experts state that mechanical per-
lection in the making of Swiss watches
has about reached the pinnacle of cN-
ccllencc. Never before. they say, have
there been such good watchmakcrs as
a, present Workmcn have become pro-
hcient in making complicated mcchan
lsms.
Jewellers say that these new brands
of Swiss clocks and watches should
have big sale not because of novelty,
but because Of utility.

TNHE complete closing down of some
garment factories, the curtailing
of production in others, the throwing
out of employment of thousands Of
needle workers and decrease in the
business Of button and trimming peo-
pie are predicted as a result Of the
small offerings of spring woollcns and
worsteds by the mills.
"Few people outside of the industry"
said Max Rudifcr, manager for Will
lam Fischman, manufacturers of coats
realize what the garment manufact
urers will be up against for their
spring business if we are to get no
more goods than the mills indicate
now. Mills from which we ordinarily
purchase our goods tell us that they
can give us only 10 per cent or less
of our usual amounts Of cloth. With
the mills giving us 10 per cent of our
requirements in fabrics we might be
able to find enough materials in the
open market to bring our production
up to 20 per cent. That means that

henslVe plan that is expected to cover
foreign purchases in this MARKET
Leading copper men resented ycster-
days imputations from Washington
that the "copper" trust" was allowed
TO make huge profits as a result of the
War Industries Boards fixing of prices.
1t was pointed out that the govern
ment price fixing agency lowered the
quotation on copper from 81 cents a
lleved to be the minimum figure that
the producers could operate at fair
profit to all.
Criticism was directed at the handl-
ing OF the l4s.0O0 ,000-pound surplus
which the government had on hand at
the time the armistice was signed.
Under the plan recommended By the
chief producers this copper was to
have been sold along with the surplus
held by the producers on the basis of
per cent a month for the first ten
months, 10 per cent a month tor the
next five months.
Instead of following out this plan
the government insisted that or all
saleS ABOVE oo,UUUOVU pounds month
20 per cent should be taken from the
government surplus. As a result, the
government sold its copper al prices
substantially lower than those now
prevailing.
There was q slightly better demand
for copper yesterday, the supply in the
hands of the so-caled second sellers
apparently having been greatly reduced
by the sales of the last two weeks.
Little spot and no future metal can
be had at less than 23 cents, compared
with 2312 cents asked by the leading

High Production Costs Cause
Fear for British Export Trade

LONDON, July l5.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press Steadily IN
creasing production costs, due to in
creased labor and higher prices for raw
materials, have developed the fear in
England that British export trade is
to suffer severe jolt, if not serious in
jury. Comparisons are constantly
being made with foreign costs, but it
is noted that most men fear American
competition more than any other.
Sir Auckland Gcddcs, discussing in
thc House Of Commons the effects of
increased coal prices, compared Brit
ish iron and steel prices with those
prevailing III the United States.
steel rails in England, he said cost
$50 :. ton, while in tie United States
they were $50. and steel plates for
shipbuilding IN England were $87.5o
and in the United States $40. Crown
bars wore Sll0 Il ton, compared with
the American price Of $3.50. The
spread in pig iron, h pointed oUt was
$40 ton, the British cost being $40

Soda ash was reported in excellent de-
mand By local dealers yesterday. with
prices ranging from $l.S5 to sos a
hundredweig depending on distance to
be shipped, quantity ordered and degree
desired. It was reported that soap
makers, glassware manufacturers and
producers Of heavy chemicals had placed
contracts for good quantities. Some
dealers quoted the contract price for
the remainder OF this year at q cents
a pound. Soda ash is being exported IN
large quantities, principally 10 South
America.
Although domestic buyers arc not
purchasing copper sulphatc to any large
extent because Of the high prices being
asked. local dealers stated Tcstcrday y
that the foreign demands contin.o TO
keep the market active and hold prices
firm. France, Spain aud Greece are re-
ported to have purchased large Quanti-
ties Of blue vitrol. The demand from
these countries is always great at this
season. because Of the use Of copper
sulphate IN disinfoctants. insecticides
fungicides and in treatment OF valuable
we wood to prevent decay. Prices for tho
"9 per cent copper compound remain
unchanged at . cents q pound, whi.c
the 9S per cent copper sulphate is
quoted at 81, cents a pound. Those
high prices are attributed to the de-
mand from abroad and the high prices
paid for copper at present
Prices for bonzol and toluol have ad-
vanced due to increased costs Of pro

capped With Firms Money

Two masked robbers waylaid Frank
T. Kelly in a hallway IN Spruce
Street at o'clock yesterday morning
and, after blackjacking him until he
was insensible, robbed him Of $4,000

pany, which employs Kelly as cashier
No arrests have been made.
Kelly Is forty years old and married
He lives In 474 East 173d Street. The

Off Park Row in Spruce Street. Kelly

The cashier was descending the
stairway from the company's Offices at
8 Spruce Street on his way to the de-
livery room at 1S Spruce Street when
he was accosted by two masked men
who pointed pistols at his head and
ordered him to "come across with the
bag" This bag was small hand
satchel and contained 81 900 in loose
bills and $4,000 in envelopes.
Fought His AssaiIants
Kelly told the police that instead of
surrendering the bag he swung it at
the robbers heads. They closed with
him and one took him by the throat,
preventing any outcry. Then they be-
gan to beat him, one using black
Jack and the other the butt Of pistol.
Kelly fell to tho floor and lost con-
sciousncss as the men fed with the
satchel and money.
1t was about twenty minutes later
that Kclly's ASSISTANT, John Graham,
who had preceded Kelly to the delivery
room, became alarmed at his failure to
appear and returned to the Offices. In
the dimly lighted hallway he stumbled
over the bleeding cashier. Graham
called for help and Il number Of en-
ployes of the Nassau News Company
and mailing room employees of several
newspapers only few rods distant
rushed over to see what the alarm was
about. An ambulance was summoned
from the Volunteer Hospital and DR.

The cashier had revived by that time
and it was discovered that he had suf-
fered q fractured nose, a cut over his
right eye and decorations of the scalp.
He was taken TO the hospital, but later
was able to 90 to his home. He told
detectives from the Oak Street station
that he did not believe he would be
able to identify his assailants.

President Robert l.. Moran, Democrat,

"The rejection of Mr.. Curtis's petit

La Guardia. "Mr Curtis was selected
at a convention at which many labor
organizations were represented, and it

Who Object to Arrest of
q Woman Bus Olrner


Forty-eight persons, eager for the
fantasies of Chinatown, were seated
last night in Mrs. Helen Seigmeister's
slum- seeing bus at Forty sixth Street
and Seventh Avenue There were still
two vacant seats and Mrs. Seigmcister's
husband, Louis, was hunting,prospectiye
occupants on the sidewalk
Patrolman Thomas Kelly happened
along and paused to tell Mrs. Seigmeis-
ter that it was not public hack stand,
and she would have to move along. Mrs.
Seigneister and her husband protested
vehementy; so did the forty-eight slum-
seekers. Patrolman Kelly refused to be
swayed, and when another patrolman
adylsed arresting Mrs. Seigmeister
Kelly tried to do it.
Although small, Mrs Segmeister
ciung tenaciously to her perch The
efforts of the patrolman TO dislodee
her became so vigorous that a crowd
OF several hundred gathered and yelled
their disapproval. Motor cars were
halted and their occupants added their
voice to the chorus of indignation.
Kelly. drew his revolver and threat
ened the crowd. Then, seeing that
Mrs. Seigmeister was firm as a limpet
on its rock, he ordered the driver to
head for the West Forty-seventh Street
ponce station. They drove there with
more than one hundred jeering men
and women clinging to the bus and
with hundreds more filling the street
behind it,
Inc reserves were sent out to keep
out OF the police station the hundreds
who clamored to give their testimony.
After charges Of disorderly conduct
had mac been entered against Mrs Seigmeis-
ter and her husband they were taken
to night court in patrol wagon, which
was followed by the lum-seeing bus,
filled to the brim with an indignant
crowd. Others followed afoot, in troll
ley cars and in their own motor cars.
James II. Findlay. an automobile deal
er, of 2Ol6 Seventh Avenue, whose COM
plant against patrolman who denied
him admission to the police station
had been refused there, led the pro-
cesslon Of automobiles
FIFTEEN taxicabs followed the patrol
wagon, the motor bus and the auto
mobiles. The would-be witnesses
filled the courtroom, and the doors
were closed on hundreds more who
sought entrance. Shouts of "lock up
the cops!" resounded until Magistrate
Corrigan threatened disturbers with
arrest. After hearing testimony he
discharged Mrs. Seigmeister and her
husband
The only offence that had been COM
mltted was violation of the traffic
law, he said. and that should have gone
to the Traffic court. He advised both
defendants to make a complaint to the
Police Commissioner and, if it was not
needed, to the Mayor. Amid cheers of
the spectators Mrs. Seigmeister and her
husband departed. They sought at
once to make a complaint at the West
Forty seventh Street police station
and when advised to take it to Inspector
Donimick Henry promised ferventlv
to do SO the first thing in the morning.
