DR.. HALE TALKS
TO kIWANIANS
Chemist Urges Enactment of Ford.
ney BIN Elect Four New
Members to Club.

Plea for immediate enactment of
the Fordney tariff bill, protection OF
the American dye industry and real
ization OF the Importance of de-
velopment Of the organic chemical
industry were contained in talk de-
livered to the Kiwanis club this
noon by DR.. W. ]. Hale of the
Chemical Foundation of New York
City.
''The Worff wa" he said, was
primarily an Industrial war and or
ganic chemistry there played the
all-important role. Poison gases
were evolved too late and in far too
, limited supply to afford Germany
the victory she counted upon. A
kindly fate smiled on the allies but
what different story had the Ger
mans been able to manufacture five
tons of mustard gas a day.
I'VE cannot trust to fate Now is
the great opportunity to develop or
ganic synthetics. Dyes must be
made in America by Americans and
if ever war comes We will have at
our command great chemical arse
rals.
I'VE cannot develop in this direc-
ton if we permit the Germans to
throw their dyes on the market.
Competition is out of the question
under present conditions of labor
in Germany and America and with
the much deprecated mark. The
cries Of monopoly put up by Ger
man sympathiZers are of as much
weight as a cry against the monop-
oily of farmers. The government
alone is the agency that could or
ganize an extensive chemical mo.
nopOly and this is not a likelihood. -
Urging enactment of the Fordney
tariff legislation as an avenue to re-
sumption of American industry and
solution of the employment ques-
ton, Mr.. Hale said: The new
measure embodies the greatest and
most scientific principle ever pro-
posed in the history of American.
tariff-the fixing of duties based
upon American valuation. At last a
tangible base is set before us and
the foreign classification of values
forever eliminated. Mr.. Forduey

SHERIFFS CAPTURE
THREE AUTOS WITH
CARG0ES OF BOOZE

Three autos, all of them heavily
loaded with liquor, were captured
in the past week by sheriffs of
the state, working in cooperation
with the prohibition enforcement
office here, it was stated Saturday
night by officials of the depart
ment.
One of the largest captures was
that made Saturday by Howard
Beacham, sheriff of Otero county,
when he arrested two men on the
Mescalero Indian reservation, seiz-
ing the auto in which they were
driving with fifty gallons of grain
alcohol. Both men were old Of
tenders. one of them having
served three years on another
charge, 1t is said
Another car, containing thirty
gallons of whiskey, was seized by
Sheriff Abe Hixenbaugh, of Colfax
county. The capture was made
as the car was crossing the Col
orado-New Mexico line. The
third car, which also contained a
quantity of whiskey, was captured
by the sheriff of Harding county.
The work of prohibition en-
forcement does not fall within the
ordinary scope of the sheriff's du-
ties, it was stated, but many of
the sheriffs have been cooperating
with prohibition authorities in the
enforcement of the liquor law.

NORMALSCHOOL
. REGENTS CREATE
NEW DEP ARTMEN7

The faculty of \the Normal
university and the budget for the
coming year were approved at a
meeting Of the board of regents
held in Las Vegas last Friday, ac-
cording to DR.. David r. Boyd, who
has returned from the meeting of
the board.
One of the principal actions
taken by the board was the forma-
ton of the new department of
history and psychology. These
subjects were formerly taught by
DR.. Roberts, president of the uni
versity, in addition to his other
duties. The board felt that such
an arrangement was fair neither to
the president nor to the student in
his classes. as the president must
necessarily be absent much Of the
time, and decided to relieve Mr..
Wagner, the new president. of this
work.s
Four new professors were elect
ed to places on the faculty, j. 5.
Landers, formerly head of the de-
partment of psychology and phil
osophy at the University of New
Mexico, was elected head of the
training department of the Normal
university. Miss Jeanette inches,
formerly a teacher ofNLatin at the
Albuquerque high school, but more
recently of the Normal university
at Saint Cloud Mimi. was elected
as a teacher of Latin. The recent
ly created department of applied
arts and sciences will be headed
by Myrtle .Brandebury who has
been teaching in Indiana colleges.
All of the appointments will be eff
fective on September l.
The regents also voted to spend
considerable sum on the beautl-
fying of the grounds. and on re-
pairs and alterations on the main
building. The design is to make
the grounds and surroundings OF
the university more attractive. ana
in the buildings to secure greater
convenience and more room
space. The alterations will be COM
pleted before the fall term OF
school opens, but the beautifying
of the grounds will be continued
throughout the year.
The budget for the coming year,
amounting to about $4,000, was
approved by the board. All mem
bers of the board were present
with the exception Of John Morrow
of Ration.

AFRICA SENDS FOR
THE SAVAGE TIRES

How often do we hear the ques-
ton, what becomes OF all the old
cars This familiar inquiry was
explained to some extent by the
fact that odd size automobile tires
made in California are being ship
ped to remote and little known
countries of Africa.
1t will be remembered that years
ago a proposal for providing a free
country on the African west coast
for American negroes was given
much attention. Some of these
transplanted Afro-Americans have
been prosperous in their new land
as a letter received by A. e. Kelley
export manager of the Spreckels
Savage" Tire company, indicates
The letter follows:
"Accra, Gold Coast, Africa.
"Dear Sir:
1.-TWO years ago I bought from
America an American automobile
American Is the name of the auto
1t is a short one with tall wheels
called unhung, think. Two of the
tires are your California kind, they
give good service and / send you
here check. Send me, please, four
tires to fit my auto and the change
If any"
So, in the tungles of Africa's Gold
Coast, American automobiles and
California tires are not unknown.
The traveller will not be surprised
TO meet in the most obscure lands
these old motor friends in the styles
of the last decade.
