SAYS U. S. SUPREMACY
OVER GERMANY IN DYE
INDUSTRY is CERTAIN

Americas supremacy over Germany
in the dye industry OF the world is a
matter Of only few years. declares
Professor ]. II. James, head OF the
department OF chemical engineering
at Carnegie Institute OF Technology,
in PittsburE. This probability" says
Professor James, who has made a
study OF the industry, lis evidenced
by the fact that the United States
now produces about 9S.5 per cent OF
the dye actually consumed in this
country. While It is still necessary
for this country to import the other
6.5 per cent from Germany and Swift
zerland, and which percentage repre-
sent only the latest developments of
dye manufactures in these two coun-
tries. Il is clear that Americas ability
TO shift for hrself in the dye industry
is an indication that, evntually, she
will supply most OF the dyes TO tho
world"

officers Get Thrill

Bob Gullett has been our sheriff for
nearly four years now, but it was not
until this week that he got the supreme
thrill of his career as an officer. He
went down in Lawrence county, in
company with Deputy Lee Doyle of
Walnut Ridge, after man named
Bill Foulk, wanted here on liquor
charges.
They drove up to the Foulk place
and found their man sitting on the
porch. Sheriff Gullett read the war
rants to him and asked him to get
ready to accompany them to POcahon-
tas. Foulk asked them in as II was
nearly dinner time and invited them
to eat with him. When they entered
the house F0ulk darted through anoth-
er room and out the back door and
made away across field. The officers
hastened after him and when they
reached the outside FOulk was about
81 ydfUS AWAY. SneIlH Ouliell DuiiNh
his gun and fired in the air in an at
tempt to stop the fugitive but the only
effect it had on Foulk was to increase
his speed. Mr.. Gullett then fired di-
rectly at the fleeing figure and Foulk
fell Imply TO the ground.
Bob thought he had killed a man
and ne said his heart was in his throat
as he and Doyle hastened to the pros
trate figure. Imagine their surprise
and relief when they found that Foulk
was not injured in the least. The but
let had missed its mark but evidently
the effect Of the firing had so complete
ly unnerved Foulk that he lost his pow
er of loc0motiOn and fell.
The prisoner was brought to Poca-
hontas and placed in jail, but made
bond for his appearance at the next
term of court and was released.
