CHEMISTS CONVENE
AT COLUMBIA TO-DAY
Society's Council Expected to
Present Resolution on
Dye Embargo.

The council OF the American Chemical
Society yesterday prepared for the open-
ing to-day of the sixty-second meeting
Of the society in conjunction with the
Society OF Chemical Industry. Resolu-
tions and other important business to be
laid before the first general meeting
this forenoon at Columbia University
were taken up.
Among the council members present
were Dr. Edgar F. Smith OF the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania. president of the
society; DR.. Charles S. Parons Wash
ington. secretary; DR.. John E. Teepe,
New York, treasurer; DR.. George j..
Rosengarten. Philadelphia; Dr. Charles
A. Herty. editor of a chemical journal,
and DR.. William A. Noyes of the Uni
versity Of Illinois.
The meeting was secret and no an
nouncement of the text. d proposed
resolutions was made. 1t Is considered
likely, however that one Of the most
important matters to be taken up is the
proposed embargo on foreign dyes and
other chemicals The financial situa-
ton in the industry resulting from the
uncertainty regarding CONGRESSES pro-
posed action probably will be made the
subject of another resolution. Still an
other will deal with the unemployment
resulting from the same cause.
Plans for celebrating the fiftieth an-
niversary OF the society in 1926 also
were considered by the council, which
took considerable interest in the pro-
posal to hold it at Northumberland. Pa.
where in 1876 at the grave of Joseph
Priestly. discoverer Of oxygen. 1t was
founded. Just how the little Pennsyl-
vania town of scarcely more than 5000
inhabitants can care for the thousands
of chemists who are expected to attend
the anniversary celebration caused DR..
Smith to suggest that the event be held
in conjunction with the 15oth anniver-
sary of American independence In
Philadelphia the same year.
Meeting places also were chosen for
the spring and fall 1922 meetings. Bir-
mingham. Ala, being selected for the
spring session and Pittsburgh for the
meeting twelve months hence. The
council announced that the sections on
sugar and leather had been raised IN
Importance to divisions.
Registration went on briskly at the
headquarters In the Chemists Building,
So East Fofty-first street. 1t is ex-
pected that more than 5000 will attend
the sessions.
