me to hear that crusade separating

Another problem to be solved is the
discovery of fluorescent dyes with ap.

made from the base fIuorcscein which
will be more permanent in character
than the fluorene dyes.
Very minute changes in the molecular
structure Of the dyes make slight changes
in the shades Of color. The number of
possible shades Of color is unlimited.
The general impression has been that
American dyes were inferior to German
dyes, but such is not the case The
American dyes are at least equal TO the
German dyes, and generally superior.
but the German government subsidies
the dye industry. and allows the Ger
man manufacturers TO undersell the
American manufacturers who are not
subsidized and not protected by a high

to prevent the development Of a large
dye industry in the United States be-
cause, dye works may readily be turned
into works for the production ,of, war

For example, the change of very
few steps in the manufacture of indigo
will produce mustard gas. The structure

 The alleged method of the young women is to drive through fashion able and exclusive residential dis tricts where valuable dogs are known to be, becoming friendly with the animals, spiriting them away and returning them later in answer to advertisements offering rewards.
 When rewards are not advertised 1t is said the women ship the dogs to confederates in other cities, who dispose of them to new owners.

MINING OUTLOOK IN
 KOREA DEPRESSING

SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 22. It is feared the outlook for mining in Korea is not very promising, at least in the immediate future- There was great boom in Tungsten ores during the war as the strong demand and high prices prevailing made it possible to open up many promising prospects with a small outlay of capital from the sur face workings, of which the natives were to reap rich profit for them selves and the buyers who handled and cleaned the product. With the decline of prices and increased difficulty of working with added depth, the indus try completely stopped, until today there is not a single active working mine.
 All the seccessful gold producing mines in Korea are the result of a combination of foreign energy and capital. The only copper mine in the country that has ever produced in quantity is Kapsan. Bituminous coal in Korea, so far as developed, is mediocre at best. late in origin, and in many cases running into Ignite. There is a good anthracite horizon but the most accessible was at once taken over by the navy.

Huston s Propitious Visit to Orient May Extend
 U. s. Interests

SHANGHAI. Nov. 22.--News of the passage of the so-called China Trade bill by Congress is enthusiastically re- ceived in China by, American business men, large firms and Chambers oi Commerce for it means the beginning of new era in commercial relations between the United States and China
 Cablegrams of appreciation for the work of certain Congressmen in push, ing the bill have been sent by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce to Washington and resolutions express ing the gratitude of the local business men passed.
 The Hon. Claudius H. Huston, As sistant Secretary of Commerce of the United States, who was recently on a world tour of inspection, was received warmly upon his arrival in Shanghai by American business men, who feel that Secretary Huston yields much in fluence in extending the commercial interes of the United States overseas.
 Makes Business Easier
 Regarding the China Trade bill Sec retary Huston said:
 "The passage of this measure by Congress will make it far easier for American concerns and Chinese American companies incorporated under American law to do business in China They will<be able to operate under the Federal charter.
 Previously much confusion exist ed due to the attempt to apply in China the conflicting regulations of our various States, territories and de- pendencies. Many United States com panies were organized under State charters which never intended for for eign trade purposes.
 Under the China Trade bill the charters will be issued by the Depart. ment of Commerce subject to regula- tions promulgated by the department, with guarantees which will insure the conducting of legitimate business in accordance with the laws of the Unit ed States and the treaties between China and America.
 "The effect of the restrictions of the bill will be that higher standard will be maintained, which will reflect

 "American-made motor cars are pop ular in China. Seventy-five percent of the automobiles bought by the Chi nese are ordered from American dealers.
 "The industrial development of China is beginning in the large coast ports. The first American cotton mill was sold to China less than ten years ago. There are now nearly one hun dred mills in operation The same is true of the flour mills.
 An American firm is now construct ing modern government mint in Shanghai which will be the largest mint for the coinage of money in Asia.
 During the European War the in- ability of Europe to furnish the Chi nese market caused most of the trade to be diverted to America. Now Flu rope is back in the field, and she is trying to recover the business lost during those years. The competition American companies must meet is keen.
 The United States must have a more closely co-ordinated business and financial interest, with an intelli- gent national policy. This is what the Department of Commerce is trying to establish.
