Better Dyes and More
Uniform COlors Likely

State College, Penna., July Fl up
Better dyes, with more uniform
color, and improved dying properties
were predicted by DR.. w. c. Holmes
fthe United States department of
agriculture, with the application of
rewly perfected methods of color
analysis. He was a speaker at the
institute of chemistry of the Ameri-
can Chemical society in session here.
The spectrosphotometer q new
instrument, recently adapted to use
in this field, makes possible the de-
termination of the intensity of dye
colors, an important factor in
matching shades said DR.. Holmes.
similar accurate measurements
are necessary in the correction of
traces of impurities which are fire.
quently found in the dyes.
THE method consists of passing a
beam of white light through the
colored material spreading the beam
into spectrum or artificial rainbow,
by q prism or otherwise, and finally
measuring the intensity of each color
or light allowed TO pass through the
sample" DR.. Holmes says.

PROTECTION FOR MOTORISTS

Enlargement of the towns traffic
force to care for the congestions
caused by construction of the main
highways through town is being urg-
ed by local motorists and residents
who claim the need of immediate &C
ton.
At present, construction activities
are being started in at least five
separate parts of the main routes
through town and evidence of fur
Their extension of activities is given
by those in charge of the work. Bus
and private vehicle traffic is slowed
down by the blocking of the high
ways and motorists claim that an
other month will show an unending
confusion on the highways unless the
traffic force is enlarged or the pres
ent force is put on every day hours.
At present. with a few exceptions,
local constable are employed during
the day, making it necessary for
them to be on duty during the eve
ming hours only. 1t is suggested that
two or three more officers be depu-
tized to handle traffic exclusively
during the daytime. The roads, they
claim. are patrolled by state police,
removing the necessity of maintain
Ing officers to check law-breakers,
and Berlinites ask that the town
constabulary forces chief object be
the regulation of the traffic during
construction activities.
1t is probable that the matter will
receive official recognition, the de-
mand gaining considerable Roadway
among residents. Five officers at
present give part time hours to the
constabulary force. mainly in cases
OF law breaking, little attentiong be-
ing given to traffic regulation.

John j. Brown of the tax board told
the school board members. Il am

Kern explained that the latest bids

that other systems did not comply
with the Indianapolis school city

Explanation was voiced chiefly by

Kern, aided occasionally by Presi-
dent Theodore Vonnegut. They told
the tax commissioners that unless
they approved the $4,000 bond is

tilating, the work on the new school,
now under way, would be held up
and might result in damage suits by
the general contractro. With the

board would still be short approx

Ave another bond issue, according

CHURCH PARADES
FEATURE c. NJ. 7. c.
Second Corps Area Sends
Instructions on Religious
Exercises.

At number of places the church
parade has become n feature OF divine
worship for those youths who are IN
the Citizens Military Training Camps.
This formation has been found to he
particularly effective at training camps
where, unless they have been excused
= by request of parents or are ~ years
of age, candidates are required to at
tend church every Sunday.
The I'd Corps Area included IN its
general instructions for Citizens MIL
tary Training Camps a paragraph on
moral and religious features, as 1oi-
lows:
Attendance at church will be re.
UtIired, as at the u. S. Military Acad-
emy. Candidates may be excused
npon request OF parents. Chaplains of
various denominations will be assigned
TO camps as far MS practicable. Ii Ia
rilitiea for worship 90 not exist In
camp, arrangements should be made
for attendance at church services III
nearby towns. Candidates over Il
wears Of age will not be required to
attend church parade"
Church parades were instituted in
connection with this plan of required
attendance. The system resembles the
practice of many National Guard regi-
ments when in camp and is the Gus
tom of the British Army and Navy.
In arranging church parade the
troops are regularly assembled, with
all officer and enlisted personnel pres
ent. Sometimes the formation offers
opportunity for publishing important
orders or making announcements.
The band usually plays one or more
appropriate sacred selections. The
march to the places where services
are conducted for the three major reli-
Eious groups-Protestant, Catholic and
.Iewish--is to the accompaniment of
martial music and is most impressive.
