Triumph of American DYES.

The latest official reports for the fs-
cal year which ended With June show
that the American exports of anline
dyes for 1918 amounted to ST,296,0S0.
This, when compared with our imports
Of aniline dyes In 1914, Is significant
of the strides made by American chem
lists In the dye situation. Germany
supplied these coal dyes before the war
and America paid more than $1,000, ,000
year for the products. Today Amer
lea makes enough of the leading colors
for home needs and is supplying other
countries in large quantities, as the
exports indicate.
In the early days of 1915 thae were
but seven companies in America pro
dueng colorS To-day it is estimated
that there are about $50 concerns In
this line.
