It necessary for us to work. Whether
you know 1t or not, your days work

Truly, chemistry has descended into
the depths of the earth and extracted
the secret formula of nature. The

things of beauty, but remedies for

How Twentieth Century Scientists Have Rubbed the
Magi's Lamp and Made the Age-old Dream
of Alchemy Come True
No. I
THE AGE OF CHEMISTRY
hemy Come True
(Told In Eight Sketehes)
BY JOHN RAYMOND

Within the last few years the world
has been electrified by the vast strides
made in the field of science by the cre-
ative chemist Indeed, within gener-
alton the influence exerted upon the
entire fabric of our civilization from
within the laboratory has been so
enormous that we are prepared at
last to accept the oft-repeated state
ment that we have passed beyond the
age of machinery and have entered
into the more mysterious age of chem
istry.
What this new era is to bring forth
in the way of scientific discovery rests
upon conjecture, but certainly, the
miracles performed in the last half
century have been sufficient to warrant
almost any expectancy.
America has heard that Germany's
chemists saved her from an early dis
astrous defeat, both in the field and
in the matter of obtaining supplies.
Without the tremendous expansion of
her plants for the production of nj
trates and ammonia from the air by
processes developed by her great
chemists the war, without question,
would have ended years before it did,
as result of the exhaustion OF Ger
many's explosives, if not from the ex-
haustion Of her food supplies because
of the lack of fertilizer for her fields.
So great, in fact, have been the ac-
complishments in the last few years
that scientists now declare that ma
ton without applied chemistry will be
"defenseless in war and laggards in
peace"
Previously unheard of scientific feats
have been reported from the labora-
tory, but because Of necessity, they
were performed so quietly they were
robbed of their glamor and their trap
pings of romance while lesser achieve
ments on the field of battle and in the
council chambers of diplomats have
been hailed by throngs.
Those of us who have left the class
room and the study hall far behind find

STEEL WORKERS GO BACK.
Prosperity Returning in Pitts
burg District as Thousands
Return to Plants.

Pittsburg, Aug. 3 Prosperity is re-
turning to the great Pittsburg and
YOUNGSTOWN industrial districts. There
is a noticeable revival in business in most
lines
Within the last ten days several
thousand men have gone back to
work, largely in the allied steel in
dustries, several thousand more re-
sumed work yesterday and indications
are that thousands more will be given
employment within the next two weeks.
Invariably the men who are going
back to mills and mines are doing so
at reduced wages, generally 10 to 10
per cent and in some instances Mt
reductions of 20 per cent, but the
hysteria over wage cuts and open
shop has died out. Men want work
and they are glad to accept steady
employment even at reduced wages.
Steel plants and steel working in
dus,ries, are booking large orders
and the whole atmosphere is more OPP
timistic and cheerful. The independent
steel mills have reduced wages to almost
pre-war scales.
United States Steel is expected TO
get down to the independents basis
shortly.
