(ToId In Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMOND
No. V COLOR

Tn the dim ages of history when man first felt the desire for beauty, traders searched the world for dyestuffs, jew els, perfumes, spices and precious woods The risk of these voyages was great and only princes or nobles could afford the fruits of ventures to the far corners of the world. No man of humble origin could aspire to the rich crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple of ancient Tyre, retailing at 5000 a pound.
 Royal Purple is an age-old insignia of aristocracy. This dye was secreted by a small shellfsh on the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean and here the enterprising merchants of Tyre formed dye monopoly equaled only by the German Cartel.
 A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by this mollusk, if spread upon a cloth and exposed to the air and sunlight turns first green, next blue and then purple If washed with an alkali soap 1t becomes the magnificent Crimson worn by the Cardinals and Princes of the Catholic Church. Tyran purple vanished from the marts of the world with the fall of Tyre.
 Synthetic chemistry learned the se- cret of making Royal Purple as, in- deed, it learned to manufacture indigo, the same deep blue that may be seen today in museums, the winding sheets of Egyptian mummies. It was an achievement to snatch its distinctive color from royalty and to rival the best vegetable indigo of the am clients but modern chemistry has gone far beyond that. Today any kind of dye found in nature can be made in the laboratory. Indeed, among the 900 shades and colors being manufactured there are tints that it would be diff cult to discern in the rainbow.

ons of coal were used.

tons or coal were used.
 Because of the enormous demands for war materials modern by-produet ovens were constructed and in 1919 more than 52 per cent of our coke sup ply came from these ovens. Ii is esti- mated that for every ton of coke made in modern by-product ovens there is saved in fuel alone 825 pounds of coal. When a householder burns a ton of coal he has sacrificed something like 1l,0O0 cubic feet of gas, nine gallons of tar, twenty-five pounds of ammonium sulphate, POS gallons of pure benzol and 056 gallons of pure toluol.
 In our industrial life the use of coal The rubber industry depends upon pounding ingredients and softeners. Practically ali types of paint now use a derivative of coal. Printing inks, shoe polishes, brake Things, dry clean CTS, perfumes, explosives, linoleums, glues, pastes and photographic de- velopcrs, contain coal products as. basic ingredients. The paper industry, the soap business, and the shoe manu-. facturer would be in serious difficulties without the by-products of coal tar. The electrical industry would lose it's chief source of insulating material and the doctors and druggists would be without a sufficient supply of phenol to make their supply of everyday drugs.
 Coal tar, the refuse of ancient vege- table kingdoms, is valuable because it produces a galaxy of brilliant colors, not so much for the colors themselves but because in producing them so many intermediates arc developed that are of inestimable worth to the indus trial life of the nation.

He told the court they were worth $1O,OOO. But the law only fcompelled the landlord to pay $50, because the tropics were in a suitcase at the time they were stolen.
