American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders
Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the
Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products
(Toid In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
THE ALcHEMIsTs DREAM

Through the literature of the an
clients runs the absorbing story OF the
alchemists patient search for the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garrett and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per-
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change ak
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
all the copper" And more than that,
by means Of this magic elixir, in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man of four score into a
prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels,
The philosophers stone still is an un-
known quantity to science, buried, per-
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-off day
when De Soto set forth so bravely
from Spain to find it in the new world
But chemistry has accomplished won
ders by the utilization Of coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
fairy glass of the chemist and look in
to this rather uninteresting substance
coal
We put kettle of it over fire and
we see leaving at various times what
the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone
toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol
Ianthracene, carbazol, and some others
But these are the most important

III SERVICE HERE
delightful Holiday Program is
Given at the Presbyterian
Church

The tree lighting service at the
First Presbyterian church on Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock was one of
those occasions that will live long in
the memory of those who we're pres
ent. The service which was mostly
musical was under the direction of
the pastor. Rev. Frederick d. Neid-
ermeyer. with George Vause presid-
ing at the organ. The organ selec-
tons included the Hallalujah chorus
from Haendel's orato-:o, The Mes
&siah, Christmas hymns and carols
(which were sung from memory.
A feature of the service was the
inviting by Rev. Mr. Niedermeyer of
Chief of Police Nels J. Tonnesen to
the Platform that he might introduce
him to h boys and girls present.
People tell me that our police
chief is honest" said the pastor,
and | believe it. They say that he
IL trying to do his best for Perth AM
boy, and I believe that, too"
As Chief Tonneson reached the
pulpit platform, DIR. Niedermeyer an
nounced: Il am not going to ask the
chief to preach a sermon, but I want
you to know him, and i~ncidently I
want to keep on the good side Of
him."
The boys and girls then said, "a
Merry Christmas, Chief Tonneson."
In replying the chief said: "Dr.
Niedermeyer has not had a ride in
our patrol wagon, else he might not
say such nice things. I wish you all
Z merry Christmas"
During the singing of America in |
The church, Adam Rogler and QUEEN
tin Taylor, held the two church flags |
80 they were displayed to the best I
advantage. Following the service
the congregation adjourned to the
church yard where carols were sung |
around two out-of-doors Christmas
trees. These trees were beautifully
illuminated for the first time with
multi-colored electric lights. Led
by Dr.. Neidermeyer many mem-
bers of the congregation then went
from house to house singing carols
to shut-ins.

IAfPERFECTIONS OF HISTORIC
 BEAUTIES

One wonders when reading stories of famous beauties of history whether they were really as lovely as tradition writes them. To be sure their DOT traits were undoubtedly idealized Now and then. in fact we came across some disillusioning bit of information about them.
 Few of them, we can be sure, pos sessed really lovely compilations. In every age which produced these fla nous beauties it was the fashion to coat the skin thickly with all sorts of paints and cosrl etfcs.. It was the fashion in the days of Nell Gwvn and Du Barry, Diane dc Poitiers, Mary Stuart and others, to lace in the waist to an unhealthy degree, to take little exerc.se to live much indoors, dance all night, sleep all morning and live principally on meat. No one could have a good complexion with such mode of life. l am sure most of them had pfmples and bIackheads, many of them. in fact, confessed as much.
 Some famous beauties, of course used less artificial means to preserve their good looks. Diane de Po:tiers, for instance, took a cold bath daily and a lot of exercises which kept her so youthful and lovely that at 50 she won the love of the young King Henry. Ninon de HEnclos is thought to have used henna to preserve her red gold hair and is known to have used astringents and cold baths to keep her skin firm and young. Many historic beauties bathed in milk which we know is most beneficial to the complexion. But the famous

GAYS MYSTERIOUS VISIT

With a ruthless movement of her fingers IlOna pulled the hairpins out of her head and laughed for joy as her hair fell about her in great golden ropes. There, that's how it feels comfy and natural" she exclaimed, caressing 1t with her fingers, "and that's how HE used to love it best.
 Hateful old things, those,'. with 8 flip at the offending pins, they almost make my head ache and they're not meant to be in my head, never! The Lord made me wild and meant for me to be that way, too. v I just know"
 She took up the silver brush and brushed her hair carefully. Then with a sigh of contentment leaned forward to examine her face once more.
 The skin was f1aw1ess and Ilona giggled with delight as she saw the accusing line of freck1es near her nose, "abominations' that her fond mother and three beauty doctors were busy trying to erase and whose ob- stinacy in repelling their attempts proved to IIona that the Lord intend ed for them to be there.
 Dear little friends. stay just as long as ever you hke," she crooned "IIona doesn't care, not a bit. I'd feel quite undressed on the nose. if you were, to desert me, in dfmpEng, as she realized the full .'heresy' of her speech.
 Then. with sudden little-girI choken in her voice, she crumpled forward hitting the mirror with her fists over and over again, as she
