Without the wave of a magician's
wand, but with the aid of careful
searchings into scientific facts,
American chemists are revolutioniz-
ing industry, agriculture, and every
day life. Gathering today here for
the meeting of the American
Chemical society, they are about TO
tell their colleagues and the world
the latest advances of their science.
Farm relief probably will be
brought about by the chemist more
than by the legislator. In the
p t meeting government
chemist more than by the legislator.
In the present meeting, government
chemists will tell of the success of
frst steps in new way of COM
bining air and stones, which even
tuslly will become bread. after being
worked over by wheat plants.
A whole section is given over to
the cellulose chemists, who rapidly
are making it more profitable to
grow trees than to cultivate cotton.
Here again chemistry ties into the
days news, for the Gastonia labor
troubles, which have eliminated in
the dramatic trial now under way
in North Carolina, are due in large
part to the rise Of Rayon, a purely
chemical product.
The super-Zeppelins now building
for the United States are children
of the chemists, from prov to stern.
Metallurgical chemists show how
aluminium can be stiffened with
other metals to make the frame
both rigid and light, and even how
an entire hull can be constructed
from metal sheets to make q tin
airship."
A chemist found helium on the
sun before it was known on earth.
and other chemists now separate it
from the natural gas of south
western wells, in which it occurs as
only a small fraction of the total
flow.
Chemists here this week will tell
how they have been cracking their
heads to find better ways to crack
crude oil and get better aviation
and automobile fuel.

LOS ANGELES, Jan., 4, (P)-The five determned men who have driven the Army plane question Mark" through all existing records for sustained flights by heavier than air machines, continued their epochal adventure today showing no inclination to come back to earth.
 The Question Mark" began it's fourth day in the air at 7:26 this morning. Snce it took off it has shattered three records of Amer ican and worlds records for re- fueling and endurance flights, and a new worlds mark for sus- tained flying by airplane.
 The latter record of 65 hours and 25 minutes was established by Germany last year but was bettered by one hour at 1:51 this morning. The Germans, however, made their flight without refuel- ing.

ECCENTRIC SOCIAL LEADER, H. $. LEHR,
 DIES BALTIMORE
WAS AGENT FOR LIQUOR COM PANY; RECEIVED AT ONCE
 BY SOCIETY

BALTIMORE, Jan, 4, (P)-Har-
 ry s. Lehr, famous international ! society man, prominently inden-
 tified in that circle for many years,
 died here yesterday.
 From obscure social origin, Harry s. Lehr, son of a one time German Consul at Baltimore, sprang almost overnight into the position of social
 arbiter of Baltimore, NWeport and New York in the late sos. His ec- centficities and bizarre prankS, under the patronage Of various wealthy social leaders, made him widely known as "the successor of Ward McAllister" and the "P. T. Rarnum of the smart set"
 In the late sos Lehr came to New York from Baltimore, armed with letters of introduction to many i famous families Soon he became Ia favorite of the late Mrs. William Astor, then leader of Americas smart set, and of the late Mrs. |Stuyvesant Fish.
 Lehr was given leave to arrange parties" for the smart set, despite Itthe fact that he entered social cir cles as an agent for champagne company. At many of these parties he appeared dressed in women s
 'Iothes. He performed fancy dances, led cotillions, entertained with bril- liant repartee. Once he waded i'll
 fountain at midnight in full even ing dress, with a wealthy social leader, also fully dressed.
 On another occasion he was re- ported to have given a dinner to a monkey owned ny Joseph Letter. The simian guest, in special-made even clothes, was said to have be- come boisjrous and to have pelted human guests with champagne classes. Lehr denied he had ever hold such a dinner but a few years later it was reported that he had entertained as host pet canine. Once in Newport, he played dolls at fete with Mrs Fish.
 Tn June 1901, Lehr married Mrs. John Vinton Dahlgrcn, a divorcee, and formerly a DreXel of Philaael- i ,'1ia. The marriage in St. Patrick Cathedral was a brilliant event All of the ushers were wealthy so- cial leaders. On the same day in Grace Church James A. Stillman married Anne Urquhart Potter.
 Several years after the marriage the Lehrs went abroad and took up It sidence ln Paris. They gave bril- liant fttes and Lehr occupied much the same position he had abandon ] cd iii America.
 When the war broke out Lehr de- voted all his time to hospital work for wounded soldiers.
