 Back in 1915. when Great Britain and France were. contracting for the manufacture of large amounts of mu- nitions in this country Dr. Hugo SchWeitzer, the well known German pEopagandist, Aornted the chemical exchange. The object of this ex- change was to buy up all of the avail able carbolic acid in this country so as to prevent it's manufacture into picric acid, one of the essentials in the making of high explosives. Dr. Schweitzer did buy practically all of the carbolic acid on the market at that time, which he turned over to the Heden Chemcal works, which in turn converted the carbolic acid into harm less pharmaceutical products thereby eliminating it's use for. picric acid. Large quantities of carbolic acid were converted into salol and various other pharmaceutical products, there- by preventing the manufacture of a large amount of munitions and explo- sives for. Great Britain and France. Made Large Profits.

 The sale of the Heyden Chemical works Friday will be another step in the plans of the alien property c,lsto- dian to turn over to American citizens every influential German owned bus mess now in his hands. Many of these concerns have already been plac- ed on the auction block and many more are in preparation for sale. They include a wide diversity of interests

4 GREAT ECONOMY BE:
 CAUSE OF EXTRA WEAR

After a trip to Kilauea. the active volcano of Hawaii, my Neolin-soled shoes were the only ones not abso- lutely ruined. Many in our party wore hob-nailed boots" said Miss Jean P. Lane of Seattle, Washington.
 The sharp jagged lava of Kilauea cuts an ordinary sole to pieces quickly. That Neolin Soles stood the test but emphasizes their toughness and dur ability. These qualities are built into them by a scientific process. Women and men and children, too-who are hard on shoes should buy them with Neolin Soles. They come in many styles. and because of the extra wear they give, are great economy.
 And any repairnlan will re-sole your worn shoes with Neolin Soles, which are flexible and waterproof as well as long-wearing. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,, Akron. Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels. guaranteed to outwear all other heels.
