Rome, April 15.---Reports that the Holy See would be represented at the meeting of the supreme allied council at San Reno by Adonsignor Federico Tedeschini, under secretary of state at the Vatican, who would discuss the settlement of questions relating to Asia Minor and the Holy Land are declared absolutely unfounded by Papa1 officials, Nonsignor TedeSchini, himself, said the Ho4y See never in tended to intervene at San Reno.
 Circulation of reports to the con tary," he continued, tis evidently a manoeuvre to creat difficulties be tween Italy and France concerning the protection of Christians in the 1evant. This move comes on the eve of resumption of relations between France and the Vatican

CHEMISTS TAKE CRACK AT HIGH
 COST OF LIVING

St. Louis, Mo, April 15-The living cost will be reduced millions of dollars by the recent chemical investigations and discoveries, according to dele gates to the convention of the Ameri- can Chemical Society, in session here this week.
 The recent discovery by Fred G. Gottren, Chief Metallurgist of the United States Bureau of Mines, of a lead substitute to be used in the man ufacture of insecticides, is expected to save millions of dollars of farm products annually, and assist ma terially in lowering the cost of these products.
 Successful experiments in tanning hides of sharks, chemists assert, will assist materially in bringing down the cost of leather goods
 About s1,ooo,00 1000 in farm pro- ducts have been lost each year be- cause insecticides, made chiefly of reach of the poorer families Charles L. Parsons, of Washington, secretary of the Society, explained By MT. GottrelPs discovery, arsenic | is removed from smoke issuing from copper smelters, and this has made it possible for chemists to provide a sub stitute for lead, greatly reducing the cost of insecticides
 1 Prohibition, in destroying the wine industry, also removed the sup ply of cream of tartar, which was e1- i tracted from deposits in wine casks However, chemists have discovered 6 method of which melleic acid 1: drawn from benene and used as 2 substitute for cream of tartar, espec ially in the manufacture of baking powder.
 Then again the chemist has kep down the price of paint. At this tim' paint would be $15 to $16 a gallon in stead of $3 to $4 if the chemists haG lnot made lithopone and tiianeum pos lsible as a substitute for lead and zin in paint-naking.''
 1 Delegates say they look upon thi convention as celebration of tn
 chemical independence of the United
 States from the pre-war dependenc
 upon other countries. Before the wal
 they said, there were only seven dy
 industries in this country, as com
 pared with seventy-seven at present

 ITALY TROUBLE

Trieste April 15-Italian military authorities here say they have in herited from the war lot of diff culties and problems in controlling the SIav population in Istria and the region surrounding Gorizia- This territory constitutes part of the Adri- atic question which still remains un- settled by the Supreme Council.

 made to set up a communistic regime l at Dignano where large stores of ann | muntion which belonged to the old l Austrian army had been collected and 1 hidden beneath a building used a: ! headquarters of workmen's commit. 1 tee. The plot was discovered by tht
 Italian police who raided the head quarters and arrested 13o Slavs. Dur | ing the fighting with the communist, 1 the building was wrecked by bombs. Bolshevik outbreaks alleged tt

GIL ORINE GAS
 TO FIGHT "FLU''

St. Louis, April IS - Chlorine gas may come into universal use as an influenza preventive, in the opinion of members of the American Chem ical Society in session here. At the conference ot the biological section today the members said initial tests during the recent epidemic tended strongly to bear out theor theory, but they agreed that the rapid decrease in the number of influenza cases did not permit conclusive investigations.
 The most extensive tests, it was said, were conducted at the University of Arkansas by Dr. Harrison Hale, head of the department of chemistry there. Eight hundred treatments were administered to 1S4 volunteers who remained five minutes daily in a room containing a small amount of gas. Only one of them developed in fluenza, it was said, and in that in stance it was believed the case pre- viously had been contracted.
