CHEMISTS TO
MEET IN SOUTH
Men From All Over the
United States Flocking
Into St. Louis.

st. Louis, Mo. April 12.-Ckenists
are arriving from all over he United
States for the spring meeting Of the
American Chemical society which
opens here tomorrow AID will contin-
NC six days for discussion Of the new
developments in chemistry and their
effect upon virtually every important
industry in the country.
How to increase production, save
~bv-products and lower the cost of liv-
ing, however. are the chief purposes
of the sessions which are expected to
be attended by 1900 or more chemical
experts as well as technical advisers
of large agricultural and manufacture
ing interests.
Among the subjects familiar to the
layman which are to be analysed by
these scientific explorers will be a re-
port of experiments showing the nu-
tritive value Of the peanut; the use Of
Tactic acid from sour milk in non-in-
toXicating beverages as an appetizer
and digestice substitute for Alcoholic
drinks; quicker and cheaper methods
of manufacturing sugar and the estab-
lishment of standards Of sweetness by
the use Of a new device known US a
''saccharimeter"; utilization Of corn
cobs for obtaining new dyes equal 10
those from coa tar; improved formu-
lac and methods Of handling rubber
for automobile tires.
It is stated that the call from manu-
facturers for the services of chemists
in industry has so greatly increased
since the beginning of the war that,
although the membership Of the
Chemical society has grown to $1,000,
there r still not enough chemists to
meet the demand. g.
f. p. C%ostigan, United States tariff
commissioner, will be one Of the
speakers at the meeting as tariff lea.is-

piled as he broke off a corner Of hk
