Practical Uses off Chemistry

Ellwood Heudrick in Harper's Maga- zine:
 We need quickened sense of the chemistry of things. We are lving m a sort of fools paradise in which we are increasing prices and rents and y,ae,as and costs until. unless we take heed. we shall not be able to sell cotton handkerchief in competition with any other country that makes them-and we need chemistry to save us to help us economize. Chemistry aids industries; that is already 9tap- Ushed. although many industries are Iarrard in research. But our more i'm mediate need is to bring it into oaily life. We must. for instance, tinc eme bleaching agent other than ehioi inc ioi +be farnilv wash. Chemical industry furnishes the chlorine in one form pr another to the laundries, and the laun- dries can stand it, but the fam nes cannot. A Fellow of the Mellon m e+i+ute made some experiements Wlth mems collars to determine the 'e14ecA of chlorine bleach. He laundered one series with bleach and another contro series without 1t, and the bleachea 4ol- 1ors broke after seven to nine wash- ings. while the unbleaehed stood we" ,v-fiv. washings. Threads which proFe when a weight of 1725 grams was attached to them were washeo @nN hleached. twenty times and then a weight of 100 grams broke them. It Is Economically wrong to go on making and destroying cotton cloth that way nanecialtv when cotton is both scarce and expensive. On the other hand there is no reason why we should noE water in the interest of good heaith, sprinkle our streets with chlorlnAteu l That is something we maven so' i around to" yet although the e&pefl- 1 ment was tried, once, over a small afee- i in Philadelphia, for llttle wnlio
 y,itbout keeping any records. and, since i robodv noticed anything, the plan was
 qiven un. In the mean time we let oui l streets go foul, and literally we reno our garments with chlorine, in th' name of proEress

WIFE DISAPPEARS;
 HUSBAND IS HELD
Failure to Recover Body Adds To Story of Her
 Drowning
By Associated Press

s Washington, September 10-FaIlure to recover the body of Mrs. Gertrude Viger Kuehling and the discovery Of several circumstances regarded by the police as worthy of investigation today converted her husbands story of drowning while canoeing with him on the Potomac river Wednesday night into one of mistery. Roy Harper Kuehling, the husband is held by the police for investigation and preparations have been made to drive two tugs up the river tomorrow Tn an effort to stir up the waters so that the body, if. there. may be brought to the
 surface.
 Interest has been added to the case
 by the discovery that Mrs. kuehllnti'
 who was the divorced wife Of George
 Osgood of Detroit and one of the heirs to the million dollar estate of Elizabeth Chapelton of that city recently had ask ed an attorney to file suit for divorce against her second husband. The first husband arrived in Washington today tt assist in running ou the many threads assigning as his motive the interests O l their three-year-o child

saved in fumbling at fur coat under the capsized boat and which few mn utes before his wife, he said, has worn thrown over her shoulders.
 Kuehling's arrest occurred few hours afterward at their home in Woodside' Maryland, a suburb of Washington On a. technical charge of assertion from the army. That charge was explained away by the records at the war department but he was held for investigation chief ly upon information obtained by the po- lice that his wife recently contemplated divorcing him and that only few days ago she had been treated at hospital
 for poisoning.
 Tfforts of the police to find some one who had seen Kuehling and his wife together Wednesday night have failed,
 but have brought from the man from whom he rented the boat the statement l that Kuehlni gwas alone when he en- gagged it.
 Kuehling's record includes an effort to l obtain a place in the secret service and 1 there are on file at the headquarters of 1 the service two letters recommending him for such work, one signed by Sena- l tor Pomerene and the other by Senator l Harding.

 Asia.
 We were told that this was the port of Petersburg and was well fortified. Besides our boats, many ships, among them warships, were anchored there Oii top of the. walls were mounted cannno' with an abundance of cannon balls De- side them. There was also guard house. It seems that the harbor was
 nus fortified because it was the en- trance by which foreign ships ap- preached the capital Large ships were passing on each side. Looking toward the sea, we saw hundreds of merchant vessels of various nations. Each yessc had three masts, and the nlasts were se numerous that they looked like a forest We were told that among them there were Russian warships, guarding then from attack by foreign war vessels olit of these Russian vessels, which Wa said to contain 1,5oo men, had five mast and looked, from afar, like mountain We were told that this was the HTS ship of it's size built in Russia Blank guns were fired twice day, mornine and evening, from this ship, in accorn- ance with the law for warships- w heard that she had on board vegetapi' gardens and stables. for horses and cer tie. and that, when she left port, large emntv boats were chained like wings oi each side to aid ther passage.

ITO Tell Wool From Cotton

EllWood Hendr1ck Tn sdarpers Masa-
 Ezine. Suppose chemists wife or his moth CT or sister buys number of yards of cloth to be made into a gown. It
 ist to be winter gown. and it's purpose, as distinguished from a summer gar
 ment, is to keep her warm. She wants
 it to be of wool, because she knows by experience that wool is warmer than
 cotton or linen. Tn making the purchase she asks the clerk in the store if it is
 all wool and she is assured that it is.
 The clerk does got know except -nat
 the buyer said so, and the chances are
 that the buyer does not know except that the jobher from whom he pnr-
 chased it said so. And the jobber does
 not know except that a manufa cturer's
 agent said SO, and he may have been
 at slight pains to find out. We know
 very we'll that if we boil a little silver
 of the goods in a test-tube in so1dS tion of caustic soda the wool will dis solve and the cotton will not; it is one of the simplest tests that can be made and it can be accomplished Tn five minutes. But I doubt if one in thou
 sand chemists does this thing. So Inc wife or mother may buy goods sup posed to be woolen that are in large
 part cotton, and she may. and oftef does. catch oold because of this fact.
