By OLIVER MCKEE.

Before the World War practically
no optical glass and few optical
instruments were manufactured in
the United States. Until 1917 Ger
many and other European coun-
tries supplied most of the optical
glass and instruments used in this
country. BY the latter part of
1918, under the spur of the war
effort, the domestic industry had
been developed to the point where
it could meet the demands of the
Army and Navy for field glasses,
cameras, fire control and range
finding instruments, microscopes
and lenses.
AS the result of the development
of an American industry optical
glass, once a strategic material,
has been denoted" to the critical
list. American manufacturers, how
ever, have had some trouble in
meeting the competition of foreign
producers employing cheap skilled
labor. The present tariff law i'm
poses duties of so per cent or more
on imports of optical glass and in
struments. American industries to-
day are meeting about half of our
peacetime needs. Imports still play
an important part in the picture,
so the Army and Navy are trying
to accumulate reserve stocks of
optical glass.
Five years ago the surgeon gen.
eral was authorized to accept and
store in reserve stocks of opium
suitable for medicinal use that have
been seized by agents of the Treas
ury's Narcotics Division. Under this
authorization the Army has ac-
quired substantial supply of
opium. OF the alkaloids of opium,
morphine and cocaine are the most
important. AS a pain reliever NOR
phine has few equals. Cocaine is
also widely used anesthetic.
Through its Narcotic Division the
Treasury controls importations by
allotting specific quotas to recog-
nized importers. Because of its
medicinal value opium is listed as
a critical material.
PhenOl Important Element.
Phenol is an important element
in the production of ammonium
picrate, used by the Army and the
Navy in the manufacture of several
types of explosives. In industry
phenol is used in the manufacture
of synthetic resins and plastics.
Expansion of the plastics industry
has increased the demand.
Phenol is natural coal tar prod
uct and is also produced syntheti-
cally. Because of its military uses
it is classified as a critical ma
terial
Until 1898 only a small part of

sources. Since then the production

After hearing the President's
message read, Chairman Mansfield
(D-Tex) of the house rivers and
harbors committee said the SUBJ
ject was dead" for this session.
He termed the measure a purely
scientific navigation bill instead of
a pork barrel bill"; but said there
was no chance of passing it over
the Presidents Veto"
The veto of the $1O9, 985, $50 riv-
crs and harbors bill by President
Roosevelt yesterday practically
killed any chances for Wilmington
securing it's proposed 81, 500, 900 riv-
err and harbor improvements on
the Cape Fear river in the next
two years.
The bill, passed by the senate
several days ago, called for purely
navigation projects to be started
in 1871. Congressional leaders are
of the opinion that the bill will not
be called up again this session.
Included in the measure were
projects for widening the Cape
Fear from 800 to 400 feet, deepen
ing the channel from 80 to 80 feet,
widening the turning basin from
600 to 800 feet, cutting a shortcut
from the inland waterway to the
river and deepening and widening
