American Dye Industry Is Flourishins

II NORMOUS strides made by the
X American dye industry are
L. shown in the census of dyes and
coal tar chemicals for the calen-
dar year 1928, which is about to be is
sued by the tariff commission. The re-
port shows record output, with con-
spicuous progress in production for the
first time in this country of many i'm
portant dyes and other synthetic Or
ganic chemicals as well as a further
reduction in selling prices.
Various factors. some of which were
not anticipated, have enabled the do
nestle industry, wartime develop
ment, to achieve success in its fight to
establish itself permanently in face of
German competition. The more i'm
portant factors responsible for the
large output in 1923 are enumerated
by the commission as follows:
Activity of the domestic textile and
dye consuming industries; occupation
of the Ruhr, which caused reduction
in the output of the German dye fac
tories; and relatively high foreign
price levels of dyes compared with
those of the pre-war period.

Dyes produced in the United States
supplied about 90 per cent of the ap-
parent consumption In 1923 and in adj
dition, American manufacturers en-
joyed an extensive export trade
The domestic production of dyes in
1923 by SS firms was 90 1857 ,524 pounds.
In 1922 the output by 81 firms was
1862, 1877 pounds. The total sales for
1923 were 87,567,44G pounds, with
value of $47, 223, 161. Pre-war produc-
ton in the year 1914 by seven firms
was 6.619,729 pounds, valued at ST.
47O,O96.
The average sales price of all dyes
for 1923 was 81 cents per pound, COM
pared with 60 cents in 1917, SO cents
in 1921, and S1.26 in 1917, the first year
for which census of dyes and coal
tar chemicals was compiled.
During 1923 nearly 100 dyes we're
produced for which no production in
the United States had been shown In
1922. In addition, other dyes, which
had been reported previously in small
quantities, were manufactured on
substantial commercial scale.

But at that moment Drazk, by a

darkness fell. Zen, recovering from

Half a mile away Dennison Grant
had been lazily blowing up and down
his prairie field when he suddenly saw
Wilson approaching at his topmost
speed. Since the night of the storm he
had missed the boy tremendously !;
sometimes he had thought that If only
he might have the companionship' of
Wilson he could be reconciled to the
loss of Zen. He knew that veto had
been placed on Wilson's visits, and he
bore Zen no i'll will; he felt that he
understood her motives. But now, as
the boy came racing toward him,
Grant felt his heart bouncing about in
an extraordinary manner.
"Why, what's the matter" Grant
cried, as Wilson drew up beside him.
HAS something happened to the pig?"
1t was moment before the boy
could speak.
"a man-is-fghting my-father-
and shooting at him." he gasped
And my mother's-dead!"
Grant cleared the pillow at a bound.
"Where?" he demanded.
AT the old quarry. l ran all the
way"
But Grant was already stripping the
harness from Prince. The next mo-
ment he had flung himself upon the
horses back, and, leaving the boy to
follow as he could, was galloping
across the prairie to the quarry trail.
