Triumph of American Dyes,

The latest official reports for the fis-
cal year which ended with June show
that the American exports of aniline
dyes for 1918 amounted to 1926 $50.
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 $7,00O,000
a 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 there were
but seven companies in America pro-
ducing cOlOrs. Today it is estimated
that there are about $50 concerns in
this line.

REPARTEE THAT HAD STING
Barber Made Some Little Mistake

Younpster In Khaki.

II was all the BARRIERS fault. He
had no business kidding the young
boy. Goodness knows, the man In uni.

Der before. This was the way 1t was !:
The young soldier was frequent
visitor at the barber shop on the ave-
nue.. He didn't have SO much Of a
beard, but yet 1t demanded shaving
once in while. The barber had no
ticed that the boy only came in on
Saturday evenings.
So he said: Say, son. how's 1t come
you step in here only on Saturday
nights? Don't you need shave often
err; can't you get leave. or won't you
pay union prices?"
The boy blushed. II get the leave
all right, and Uncle Sam pays me
about as often as any boss barber. but
you see. l shave myself once week.
and let you shave me once week.

$50 you're just on semi-friendly
terms with the safety, eh?" urged the
barber.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that" replied
the soldier. "You see, I have two girls
in this town. One I see every We'd
nesday. Then I shave myself. The
other I see every Saturday. Then ]
pay you the fifteen cents. Mary likes
the movie soldier type, clean-cut,
clean-shaven, handsome fellow. see
her on Wednesdays. Ruth thinks she
cares for the bloody, scratched-up son
Of battle. 1 see her on Saturdays.
Now you understands
Maybe" laughed the barber, as he
sharpened his never-ready razor.
You'll give Mary my regards to-

the Moslems into Europe, and although
defeated and conquered themselves
saved Christian Europe by giving it

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives Of thousands Of Armenian
children already have been saved BY
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters Of that organization.
These Institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because Of lack of food.
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children In these instltu-
tions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty u day In some cases.

the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition
1t is estimated by persons who have
made survey Of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care.
