Coal Tar Is Source
of Numerous Products

When William Murdoch first made
gas from coal In 1892, the Shiny black
coal tar that remained was merely an
Objectionable by-product.
Today coal tar is the source Of al
most countless products, from per-
fumes to medicines, and from nigh ex-
plOsives to delicate dyes. The most
recent product to be made from coal
tar is a weatherprOOf paint for metal
roofs that will stretch as the roof ex-
pands under the sun and shrink as the
roof contracts. This new paint, which
is made Of coal tar, a melted rubber
compound and varnish, promises to do
away with the cracking Of roof paints
that has been a source of trouble and
expense.
One ton of coal, distilled in a gas
retOrt, produces about twelve gallons
Of coal tar. Because it was an un-
avOidable part of gas manufacture,
chemists have been experimenting
with 1t for q hundred years. Thus
far more than two hundred compounds
have been discovered in it, and his
tory of it's products is in large part q
history Of modern chemistry.
In 1923 napthaline was produced
from coal tar, and two years later ben.
zine. Aniline, originally distilled from
indigo, and the base of a thousand and
one coal-tar dyes, was discovered il
1884, and, four years later, carbOliC
acid. -, 4...-..se, -a-.-.s.,. .-..,.-.--

Tests Equipment

It Is said that whenever a car wheel
breaks on a certain great trunk line
the fragments are taken to the COM
pany's laboratory and carefully stud
led so that when the next order for
car wheels is made up, If structural
weakness caused the accident, 1t may
be guarded against. All the pur-
chases by this railroad Of iron, steel,
oil, lumber or what not are tested by
the chemists it employs and they draw
up the requirements to which persons
who sell the road supplies must con-
form. This is not an Isolated instance,
It illustrates the practlcablllty Of ap-
piled science and the reliance Of acute
business men upon the expert opinion
that insures them against wasting ma
terials, time and money.

PACIFIC WILDERNESS OLYMPAD,
A PAGEANT, PLANNED FOR 1925

To be presented sometime during
the coming year. is now promised one
Of the most unique, picturesque and
expensive outof-door pageants that
has yet been. offered the American
people. It's possibilities are not lin.
tied and its setting will be alluring
and bewildering in variety.
The title already selected at a meet.
ing held last week in Olympia, is the
Pacific Wilderness Olympiad," and
the proposed pageant will be made
fitting in every respect to the name
selected. No date has yet been sug-
gested for the event, but this will be
appointed for such time of the year
as will offer visitors the most delight
full period of visiting the last great
| wilderness remaining i'll the Far
Northwest.
In every respect the Pacific Wilder
ness Oiympiad will be made worthy Of
its name. 1t is proposed to present
to the public of the United States a
review of the earlier conditions of the
Olympic Peninsula, staged in the
midst of natural surroundings of
mountain, forest, river and sea, which,
il possible to equal cannot be sur
passed.
To Picture Pioneer Days
Early outline OF the pioneer efforts
in logging, backwoods games and
sports, the more or less important
part taken by the Indians Of days be-
fore and after the advent Of the white
man; the daring feats of the men and
women who worked wonders in over
coming the wilderness, will be repro
duced, and games OF skill will figure
extensively. 1t is also proposed to
throw in full measure of the mardi
gras and presentday joviality, which
will win public approval. The sur
roundings for all will be the forest
and mountain Businesses Of the Olym-
pic Peninsula. The enormity of the
district included is little appreciated,
but it embraces all that great country
north of Grays Harbor between Puget
Sound and the Pacific Ocean, and its
northern border is marked by the
Straits OF Juan de Fuca from Port
Townsend Bay to Cape Flattery-the
extreme northwestern point of the
| United States proper.
Various annual entertainments have
been staged by other localities of the
West, conspicuous among them the
Pendleton Roundup and the Walla
Walla pioneer pageant. These events
have become more than locally promi.
nent, and today are appreciated far
beyond the boundaries of the territory
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1924-11-21

directly interested.
In the past the Olympic wilderness
has enjoyed no more than local ap-
probation; its isolation excluding its
beauties and grandeur from the eye
other than those whose daring and
physical endurance permitted them to
draw near. But conditions have
changed and are changing-the part
Of the Olympic Highway completed
during the past few years has to lin
tied extent made possible easy ap-
proach to the Olympic country. 1t
has had tremendous effect in at.
tracing automobile travel during the
summer, but at best it has been a
one-way route. The average traveller
or summer tourist cares little to make
long trips back and forth over the
same route; he demands change Of
scene, and the early completion Of
the Pacific gap of the Olympic High
way will supply this deficiency.
Site to Be Selected
One of the most important parts in
putting on the Pacific Wilderness
Olympiad will be that of the selection
Of site sufficient in area, affordin~
the natural surroundings for page
ant of the kind, and situated so it will
be available to the thousands of visit
ors who will naturally be drawn to
this part Of the United States. The
affair is too extensive to be handled
by any one city or community, but
will be made joint matter for the
entire Olympia Peninsula. Early opin-
ions appear to show that some point
on Hood Canal would be the solution
of the site question, although others
will be advanced. The Hood Canal
site would undoubtedly have great ad-
vantages in ease Of approach and the
beauty of certain localities there are
of exceptional note. However, it is
question which will be studied from
all angles and there are many feat
ures which will have to be we'll exam
ined before definite site is named.
The "Olympiad Pathfinders" are
now inspecting various places sug
gested and the Importance Of the pro-
posed Pacific Wilderness Olympiad
will be brought directly before the
people and communities of the coun-
try interested.
To Be Business Proposition
Its production will naturally call
for considerable expenditure Of
money and time, but the financing, 1t
is believed, will not be difficult, as
the matter is to be made a business
proposition. and not one OF personal
community expense.
