1T n impossible to look at a piece
Of cloth and say with certainty that 1t

said W. +. Van Riper OF tho dyestuffs'
department OF the du Pont Co., in ad-
Aressing the women OF the New Cen
tury Club last evening. "As a general
rule. however" he said, "the most
brilliant shades are the least perma-
nent, particularly when exposed TO
light"
There Ia no absolutely fast dye
known. although some are extremely
fast" Mr.. Van Riper said. Dyes are
only comparatively fast; that is. some
are faster than others in the different
tests. It is sufficient to say of the
American dye stun industry that II
manufactures a large number OF these
extremely fast dyes.
Terrible though II was, tho war did
one good thing-it brought TO every
nation and all thinking people a real
;xation OF the necessity for national
chemical Industries. During the war
years America produced practically all
the colors consumed, while during the
last two years IT has supplied 80 per
cent OF the colors needed. But under
the new tariff bill the protection ie

critics" Mr.. Van Riper said
A motion picture showing the va
rious stages in the manufacture of the
dyes at the plant OF the du Pont Co
was shown. Following this. dyed
dresses were exhibited by severa
young women. The dNeses had beer
washed repeatedly but still possessed
their original color.

AGAINST
NEW FREIGHT TARIFFS

Strong opposition to the proposed
class rate scale of the railroads OF the
country was voiced by the traffic com
mittee OF the Chamber of Commerce
today when 1t met in the chambers
rooms in the Hotel du Pont. In pro-
test against the proposed new scale,
which Will be presented at a public
hearing Monday IN New York before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for definite action, the committee
passed resolution setting forth that
the increases in rates in certain
classes are too radical.
The new scale proposes a large in
crease in the rates on goods in the
fiFst four classes and a reduction in
rates of the fifth and sixth classes. The
committee representing manufacture
ers Of this city argue that the in
oreases .are wholly unjustifiable. tha,
only those concerns whose shipments
are in the last two freight classes will
benefit by the new scale. The resolu-
tion which was introduced by George
a. Pierce. traffic manager of the Elec-
trio Hose and Rubber Co., reads as
follows:
Resolved, That this committee
agrees that the principle OF per-
centage class rate scale should be
adopted for trunk line territory.
"As to the scale presented we feel
the increases in the first four classes
are too radical for practical applica-
ton TO our particular territory and
would tend to unduly localize our in
dustrtal activity.
I'VE would also want some assur-
ance that specific dislocations of re-
lationship in class rates be taken care
Of by some flexible method which we
cannot suggest"
