Judge Day married Mary E. schaefer

A writer at the time Judge Day was
selected for the peace commission post
declared: ''It Is not strange thatJudge
Day prefers his life at home to his
life in Washington, especially as
neither he nor Mrs. Day cares for
fashionable society. It is not only his
distaste for life in Washington, how
ever. which prompted his withdrawal

There were many expressions of

one Of the finest men I have ever
known. With sagacity. profound
learning and untiring Industry, he
was exceptionally qualified for the
work of Justice Of the Supreme Court,

when he retired. Before he went on

SPURTS TO front
Nation Now Producing SO Per
Cent of Its Needs at Less
Than Pre-War Prices.

For the first time in history the
United States is independent of the
rest Of the world for it's supply of
dyes. the tariff commission declares
in its annual dye census for 1929,
made public today.
From a STRIPPING industry of seven
firms producing only 6.619,729 pounds
of dyestuffs in 1914, the business de-
veloped until at the end of last year
eighty-seven establishments were
engaged IN what Is now described as
a key industry. Sixty-six per cent
more dyes were produced in 1922
than were manufactured in 1921.
Production last year aggregated 64,-
843.1S7 pounds. Imports totaled
1882. .631 pounds and exports 1885,
693 pounds, the commission estimat-
ing that manufacturers of the United
states produced 93.5 per cent of the
dyes actually consumed in this coun-
try last year.

The commissions account of the

market reflects the efforts being
made by the Germans to recover the
position they held prior to the world
war. when that country's dye makers
supplied approximately three quarters
OF the worlds dye requirements. OF
the remaining one-quarter about 80
