TO Chicago. Heavy receipts during
the first seven months of the year
have placed it ahead of its great
rival, Kansas City.

big years.
During this seven-month period cat

note the large percentage Of
women workers in all trades and

That they live happily seems to
be indicated by the figures which
state that their marriages have
endured over a period Of years.

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON PLANS
FOR SYNTHETIC FOOD"

IN HE chemists are becoming
the bad boys" in Old
- Mothsr Natures school.
They are not bad through idle
ness. nor through love Of mis-
chief, but because they are too
impatient and critical for the old
lady. They refuse to stick to her
antiquated text books, and to be
limited by Der annoying restric-
tons. They are extremely in.
Quisitive, and poke into her cup
boards and closets, and often dis
cover things which she seems de-
siPous to keep both out Of sight
and cut Of use.
Some Of these busy-bodies say
that they can handle natures
things better than she can, and
use them more economically. In
fact, lack OF efficiency is one of
their chief complaints against
their ancient mistress. whom
they accuse of great wasteful-
ness and unprogressiveness.
The latest revolt Of these am
bilious and unruly spirits is
against tho Old Mothers dietary.
They want to provide their own
food. and in unlimited quantities:

their ideal, stamped made in

Of the uniformity, 30 dear to this

The chemists admit that there
seems to be no way Of getting
around dependence upon the
suns radiation for the energy
essential to produce food for man,
but they claim that Nature is
outrageously wastefuI in utilizing
this energy.

The plant. from its point Of
view, might reply: "Well, that's
pretty cool! So you want me to
work with never a moments
rest, while you do no work that
you can avoid; and you would
also starve me in order to get
all the product of my work for
yourself! But, II you make me
kill myself where will you be!'
"Oh. no matter" says the
chemist. when we have made
a few more syntheses we may
have no use for you at all. It
would be foolish for us to con-
tinue this wasteful process Of
first letting you use lot Of food
energy for yourself, which you
throw away on such things as
gaudy flowers and useless per.
fumes; and next, feeding you to
cattle and sheep, only to recover
perhaps as little as two per cent
Of the original energy from steaks
and chops. Besides, you only
utilize a very few Of the light
waves, while we are aiming to
use nearly all of them, and when
we succeed, as we have good
hopes of doing. we shall call upon
you for nothing, except possibly
q few of your flavors for dessert
The suggestion is made in en-.
tire seriousness that chemistry
may eventually free the human
race from dependence on plants
and animals for food. Recent
advances have made it theoreti.
cally probable that proteins,
starches and fats will be manu-.
featured in the laboratory by
chemically combining their ele-
ments. Many of the amino acids,
which furnish the basis for pro-
teins, have already been produced
alphabetically.
