Harrison T.. Howe, a scientist at

list of note. made this statement
after he had nearly disrupted the
'Gompers Conference" on limita'
ton of arms.
War or Chemicals.
The next war will be fought with
chemicals. And none need think
the scientific world is asleep. The
midnight oil burns in thousand
laboratories. seeming to mock the
work of disarmament.
"Only a month or so ago, a great
explosives factory blew up In a
German city and killed 800 men out
right. Probably that number again
escaped death. What were these
thousand odd men doing?
We hear a great deal about the

veloped In Germany before and dur
ing the war. The chemical formulae
for certain dyes is the chemical for
mulae for the most deadly agencies
of chemical warfare. The theory OF
explosive manufacturing is based on
the solutions of dyes. In an hours
notice the dye plants may be turned
into laboratories equipped to turn
out death dealing gases and chem
icals that would make gunpowder

laughable.
Laboratories As Arsenals.
"It is well to reflect that your
arsenals are not your forts and
floating fortresses, not your military
bases of supply. They are behind
the closed doors of the dens OF

"BEAUX AND ADJUSTMENTS" ANSWER TO

In New York it is being solved by immigration, by the closing of factories in nearby towns and by the influx of colored workers from the south.

Mutual Agreement
 ''The abnormal situation brought on by the war" says Lazare "has taught something to both employer and em- ployed. They are BOTH learning sense and beginning to meet on mutually agreeable terms.
 True, cooks are not yet eager for employment, general houseworks' not above making as stiff terms as they dare. But the joyful truth is that there ARE cooks to be had, and with a little compromising the distracted home maker who has been forced to run her house short handed can get maid foI | S35 a month--up.
