Illinois Chemist Finds
Substitute for Platinum,

URBANA, Ill, Oct PA new metal
alloy that can be substituted for plati-
mum or gold where acid resisting met
ais are required, has been discovered
by Prof. S. w. Parr, of the depart
ment of chemistry of the University
of Illinois. The new alloy, which Pro
fessor Parr has named "Illium" in
honor of the university, costs APP
proXimately % cents an ounce, where
as the cost of platinum recently was
$140 an ounce and gold $40 an ounce.
The first mixture Of illium was
made in April, 1917. This was not
entirely satisfactory but early in the
next year a so per cent standard of
success was obtained. Now a piece
al the metal has been kept in acid
for six months while the acid has
been made hot and cold, diluted and
concentrated, and the metal has
shown no sign of change.
Last year it was used with marked
success, and the calorimeter bombs
used in measuring the heat units in
coal which the government has Or
dered in large quantities now contain
illium instead of platinum. Other al.
Toys, it is said, have been found too
brittle and can be cast but not ma
chined like illium.

Richmond Remembers It's
Running on Standard Time

A good memory has the average
citizen of Richmond! In a very few
cases was he caught with a misin-
formed clock Sunday, after the nat
iOnal turnback.
Citizens were annoyed, however, as
some public clocks We're still running
on last summers time when they got
up Sunday, and several people said
that one OF those at Eighth and Main
had given them the scare of their
lives"
Somebody around the city building
forgot to set back a couple Of clocks,
and confused the janitOr.
Several ministers, who live near
their churches peercd out an hour be-
fore church time to see folks that
generally arrive almost en- time, climb
ing the steps Some folks gave them
selves too wide a margin on that ex
ira hour, however, and were late.
OF course a few people came run
ming into the Pennsylvania station
for the AS train at quarter of 4
and had to wait and hour, but on the
whole, nothing disastrous resulted
from the return to old time in Rich
mOnd.

British industry and considered so af-
fected by the war that it must be

The government did not remove i'm

Yoc:ke ere Sect Auto
Drivers, Say Experts

Youths are not as good auto drivers
as men, is the unanimous opinion Of
the traffic cops" of Richmond. Won
en- drivers of the small electric cars
are the chief source of trouble to the
traffic guardians.
Women as a rule are not as consis-
tent as men, and when it comes to a
pinch, the man thinks twice as quick,
said one cop"
In proportion to the number Of
women drivers, 5 times as many acct
dents happen to the cars piloted by
them.
The best drivers of all, say automo-
bile dealers, are the boys between
the ages Of 1G and p. Although they
drive fast, the youths think and act
so much more quickly than the older
men, that in proportion to the number
OF drivers, twice as many accidents
happen to the older drivers.

AUTOMOBILES AND
SILK HOSE show
LARGE INCREASE

| CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Business con-
tlnues to reflect the greatly increased
buying power growing out of the alb
normal wage distribution and agricul-
tural prosperity of the last three
years" according to the last report Of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago,
concerning the Seventh Federal Re
serve District. About the only tenden-
cy toward conservatism observable, &C
cording to the report, is among the
merchants, who, despite the lavish
buying Of luXuries and other merchan-
disc are carrying comparatively
small volumes of stocks. This is at
tributed partly to limited supplies of
raw material and continued high
prices, causing them to hesitate to
stock up lin the face of an inevitable
REIMBURSEMENT to a lower level"
"A growing tendency to expand
manufacturing plant capacity instead
of increasing presnt plant efficiency
to care for the present demand is
noted and the banks report heavy Dor
rowing throughout the Middle West.
Both agricultural and manufacturing
interests call for a use Of credit equal
to, If not greater than year ago when
we were at war" the report says.
Further indications of the "disposi-
ton to capitalize war conditions and
prices" are seen in the advancing Of
rentals and prices of real estate. Iowa
land is not changing hands as rapidly
but there has been no decline in prices,
while in Wisconsin and Illinois, the
demand for land is keen and prices
are advancing. Indiana also reports
An active demand for farm property,
but in Michigan, except in the indus
trial centers, the realty situation is
more nearly normal.
The demand for automobiles is
: characterized IS "insatiable' and mum
erous plans are being devised to f.
nance manufacturers and dealers,
some of these involving an increased
cost" Because Of the shortage OF
ireighters, dealers are driving auto
mobiles on their own wheels for de
livery as far away as a thousand
miles.
The shortage Of labor is found to be
less apparent and business men are
said to be watching the outcome OF
the steel strike closely. Demand fol
steel and building material is good and
building activities in this city are i'm
proving while it is believed the clear
ing of the labor situation would give
them a considerable impetus.
Beef and mutton average lower than
a year ago Notwithstanding the smaller
receipts but food prices continue tc
be a disturbing factor" although luxur
les are still in greatest demand. One
hosiery firm reports little market fol
other than silk base and says fine
grades of Isle are "going-a begging,
and the report says these and similar
tendencies reflect some eXtravag
ance." In foods as we'll as textile:
this is indicated, it being pointed GU
that the cand yindustry is booming
in the Middle West and the demand
for sweets abnormaly large.

FEDERATION ASKS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
At FARMERS MEET

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 27.-The
last of the delegates to represent the
various county organizations Of farm
ers which are members OF the Indiana
Federation of Farmers associations,
were elected last week TO take part
in the first annual state convention
Of the federation scheduled to be held
at the auditorium of the Masonic
temple in this city. November1S and
10. Although complete returns from
several of the counties which perfect
ed their organization last week have
not been received. officers of the fed
Grafton declare that the indications
are that between sixty-five and sew
enty counties will have delegates
present for the state gathering.
The constitution of the Indiana
Federation of Farmers associations
provides that all county organizations
must become affiliated and elect their
delegate to the state convention on
or before the last Saturday in Octo-
Der, in order to have full voting power
at the November session, but it has
been pointed out by officers that a
few of the late counties may be allow
ed to seat delegates upon special per-
mission through a vote at the state
convention by the accredited dele
gates The fact that the coming con-
vention is the first Of the federation
and that the work of organizing is
still going on leads to the belief that
the provisions of the constitution viii!
not be strictly enforced.
| In sending out notices OF the state
| convention the federation officers are
urging the county organizations 10 not
only send their accredited delegates.
! but TO send a large portion of their
! membership as we'll 1t has been an
nounced that the convention is to be
open 10 all the farmeds of the state,
and that none of the business of the
sessions will be held behind closed
doors. The auditorium at the Masonic
/ temple has a seating capacity Of more
{ than 1000, and will be available for
the use Of visitors, except that portion
