to think Of. Cut an oblong Of bro
caded silk; have it eight inches wide
and a couple Of inches longer than
twice the length Of her corset. Line
the oblong with plain silk. Join the
long sides. Turn in a one-inch head
Ing. Join ivory rings. painted to
match the silk, or covered with silk
Of the same color, at one-inch inter-
walls around the top edge Of the bag.
Run a pretty two-toned or metal rib
bon through the rings. You can en-

DYE works.

OF theSe intermediates, one line OF
treatment will produce drugs, another
high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food Aavors and
Photographic materials. Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some OF these crudes re-
quire as many as fifteen manipulations
to produce given compound and in
each manipulation a by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste.
1t is because OF this treatment and
retreatment of coal, crudes and inter-
mediates that 1t is so easy to convert
dye plant into a factory for the pro-
duction of high explosives or poison
GUS gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1889, when she took advantage
81 Perkins discovery, and began the
development of gigantic dye industry
so that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates so essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry, just as she developed
other industries, TO create employment
and wealth for her millions. But
through these developments she learn
ed the value of chemistry, of chemicals,
and of chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much
chemical research and also that dye
making made use of the waste prod
ucts from the coke ovens, themselves
a necessity to her iron and steel in
dustry. She saw its value in the pro-
duction OF explosives, gases and fer
tilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany a forty year start on
the United States, and the rest Of the
world.

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders
Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the
Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products
THE ALcHEMISTs DREAM
(ToId In Eight sketohes)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. w

Through the literature OF the an
clients runs the absorbing story of the
alchemist's patient search for the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garnet and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per-
form wonders.
It was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
all the copper" And more than that,
by means of this magic elixir, in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man of four score into a
prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels.
The philosophers stone still is an I'M
known quantity to science, buried, per-
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir OF youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-off day
when De Soto set forth so bravely
from Spain to find it in the new world.
But chemistry has accomplished won
ders by the utilization OF coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
fairy glass of the chemist and look in
to this rather undressing substance
coal.
We put a kettle of it over a fire and
we see leaving at various times what
the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone,
toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol,
anthracene, carbazol, and some others.
But these are the most important.
Some are clear liquids, some are

Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbruc
Forest and Discovers the
Philosopher Of Coal
(Told In Eight sketehes)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. III
THE PHILOSOPHERS OF COAL

In III, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, chemist
named Stauf. He was an eccentric old
man who had an idea, far ahead of his
times, that many things beside coke
could be obtained in the combustion of
bituminous coal.
Stauf had constructed number of
ovens over a burning mine and treated
coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
and SCOT. That was quite a forward
step and although he lived in the
depths OF forest the great minds OF
Europe heard of his work. In fact,
Goethe, himself made a pilgrimage to
the ovens OF the far-scciug chemist
and in his autobiography wrote a strik
ing comment on his visit to the Saar-
brucken crest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into a human ear, the lean
decrepit, little man, with a shoe on
one foot and a slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
falling into ruins. Here was found q
connected row of ovens in which coal
was to be freed from sulphur and
made fit for use in the iron works
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in
deed, did not want to lose the lamp
black, so that all failed together on
account of the many ends in view"
Goethe. who dubbed the chemist OF
Saarbrucken "Kohenphilosoph" or the
Philosopher of Coal, wrote his COM
mentary less than a century and half
ago. What would be his comment to-
day could he enter one of the great

oven. Later patents were granted in
England, Scotland and Germany aud
finally IN 1877, we find Isaac Mca8on
"mak."g coke IN the ground in Fay
cite County, Pennsylvania
That was the crude beginning OF one
OF Americas key industries, for from
these bee hive ovens, Wastelul as they
were, grew the great modern plants
thar Gs.o1ishcd the world caring the
war by their production of poison
gases, high explosives, fertilizers and
other vital necessities In times OF
peace these plants produce dyes and
great quantities of intermediates for
the manufacture OF other commodities.
In times of war they are easily con-
vcrtcd into strongholds OF defense.
You will remember that it was an
English boy who discovered the posi-
bility OF manufacturing dyes from coal
tar hut England let the great chance
slip through her fingers and as a result
she found herself in a bad way when
war broke out in 1914. 1t was humili-
ating for the United States to be
caught mapping and to be compelled to
beg Germany to sell us dyes to color
our stamps and currency but England
found herself in a far more serious
situation. She had no dyes for her
uniforms or flags, and no drugs for
her wounded. She could not sell to
the former German markets because
she could not color her textiles. She
could not send sufficient high explo-
sivcs or gases to the front because
she lacked the essential coal tar crude.
But England will not be caught
asleep again. She has placed an en-
barge on foreign dyes and is working
with all her strength to develop her
own chemical industry.
