NEW YORK, Sept 6.-This
I75th anniversary meeting of the
American Chemical Society here
is a gathering of prophets.
Chemistry in three quarters of
a century has very largely changed
mans ways Of life-and it only
stands at the Threshold OF
achievements to come, according
ito the cautious predictions OF
world leaders in this science.
Among the prophets is DR.
C. E. K. Mees, vice president OF
the Eastern Kodak Co. The great
field ahead, DR.. Mees told the
society last night, is for human
chemists to rival plants and ami
mails in bringing about chemical
reactions. There is already clue,
he said, since the extremely COM
plex processes which result in
such substances as rubber NOR
phine and the alkaloids are al
most certainly due to the use of
catalysts.
Used in Laboratory.
A catalyst is substance which
makes chemical process possible
without itself entering into that
process. They are used in many
laboratory and industrial processes
today, but all require extremely
high temperatures and pressures.
The unknown catalysts which ma
ture has put into plants and
animals act directly at normal
temperatures and pressures.
Before long" DR.. Mees said,
1--WE shall understand the nature
of these catalysts and be able.
to make chemicals by the direct
methods employed in nature in
stead Of by the complicated ap-
paratus Of the chemical engineer. 4"
An enormous chemical future,
he said, is in the field of synthetic
fabrics. some Of which such as
nylon already have proved very
successful. Almost all of them
are created out of chemicals de-
rived from the So-called hydro
carbons of petroleum and natural
gas.
Demands for Clothing.
There probably cannot be too
much of them. DR.. Mees predicted,
for "as the standard of living
improves the masses Of Asia and
Africa are going to demand cloth
ing. If this demand by the poorer
people of the world increases we
shall be faced with an actual
shortage Of textile fiber. There
will not be enough wool and cot
ton to make the clothes"
Such fabrics as nylon, he said,
will not be the answer. The

Origin of Turnpike

The name turnpike" for toll
highways is as old as Americas
roads, the National Geographic
Society says. 1t arose from the
type of gate used on early toll
roads, a long pole studded with
pixies. This barred the way until
travellers paid the required fee,
then was turned aside.

In an address at the 18th an
niversary jubilee dinner last
night, Vice President Barkley
called our chemical industry "the
strong arm of national security"
restraining aggressor nations from
making war on us.

 The weeks activities will be climaxed on Saturday morning with parade and presentation of certificates to participants. The certificates will bear the sigma lures of several high-ranking of- ficers, including It. Gen. w. E. Kepner, commander chief of the Alaskan command; Rear Ad- miral Sprague, and Capt. John K. B. Ginvder (U.S.N.), chief of staff, Alaskan Sea Frontier.
 This is the fourth time that AL aska's Explorer Scouts-who in- clude sea and air explorers-have been summer encampment guests of military establishments in the Alaskan command. Two encamp- ments in previous years have been held at Elmendorf Air Force base, near Anhcorage, and one at Ladd Air Force base, near Fair banks.
 The local scouts will be home tomorrow, weather permitting.

LOCAL EXPLORERS JOIN IN LARGEST TERRITORIAL SCOUT ENCAMPMENT

Palmer Explorer Scouts Daniel
 Wolf, Joe Lentz, Jr., Dick Gan schow, John Barnhart, William f Harris, Wesley Grover, Ernest Roetman, Douglas Bixby and their volunteer leader, Emil Gan schow, were having an exciting week, according to reports re- ceived from Kodiak.
 Boy Scouts from all over Alas ka converged on the U. s. naval station at Kodiak, Sunday, for a seven-day summer encampment which is the largest in the history of Alaskan scouting. The encamp- ment is being sponsored by the Alaskan Sea Frontier and ele- ments of the Alaskan Air Com mand.
 ;, Such distant and isolated spots as Point Barrow, Fort Yukon and Nome were represented as the 128 Explorer Scouts, aged IA to IF, arrived in five air force planes which had picked them up at cen- tral points in the Territory. Scouts from remote areas arrived at the pickup points by small aircraft and boat.
 Monday, under brilliantly sun- ny skies, the young campers, in- cluding many Indian and Eskimo 'boys, were welcomed to the naval establishment by Rear Admiral Clifton A. F. Sprague, command CT of the Alaskan Sea Frontier and deputy commander-in-c chief of the unified Alaskan command. Greetings also were extended by Capt. L. J. Dow (U.SN), com manding officer of the naval sta ton and member of the Alaska Council, Boy Scouts of America; and Capt. George F. Kosko GUS. N), sociological officer, who is in charge of the project.
 A tour of the naval station fol- lowed the welcoming ceremony, and the boys were briefed on the weeks events. These will include tours of the town of Kodiak and of ships at anchor here, as well as

perative that you be intimately familiar with
the kind of house you're buying. Not many

BEVERLY HILLS, Dec. g.
Six-foot charmer Lili st. Cyr has
rested her case without showing
a jury the dance she gave at
Ciro's night spot october 10.
Sheriff's officers barged into her
dressing room that night, con-
f1scated her brassiere and panties
and arrested her on charges of
giving a lewd and nude act.
The bra and panties were
marked peoples exhibits A and

a sure, soft-voiced witness, told
the jury that the peoples A and
B were always on her when she
did the dance at Ciro's. She left

they surely saw things she didn't

Although contradictory to the
testimony of the sheriff's raiders,
Lili's recital left just a hint that
her act might have been tactfully
suggestive, but there was a re-
buke for any one who would i'm

Lili even consented to show her

how she stepped out of a bath tub
at Cairo's into a 6-by-5-foot beach

Montreal Students
Picket Stores Defying
Holy Day Closing Law
BY the Associated Press

MONTREAL, Dec. Big Mon
treal department stores today de-
fed a city bylaw and remained
open for business as usual on a
Roman Catholic holy day. The
action-aimed at forcing a court
test of the bylaw-touched off
demonstrations by French-speak-
ing students.
Big crowds of Christmas shop
pers looked on while rs students,
mostly from the University Of
Montreal, paraded with placards.
The law, passed recently with
the support of Archbishop Paul
Emil Leger of Montreal, orders
closing on Epiphany, January 6;
Ascension Day. 40 days after
Easter; All Saints Day. November
l, and the Feast Of the Immacu-
late Conception, today.
Placards Confiscated.
The students moved from store
to store in advance of the police
squad cars, first picketing at
Eaton's. then at Morgan's. There
the police dispersed the demon
stratorS and confiscated the pla-
cards.
The police said most of the
stores which decided to defy the
law by remaining open were in
the West End shopping district
of this predominantly Catholic
city.
Two officers Of the Montreal
police commercial squad were as
signed to a shopping spree, buy
ing items to be used as court ex-
hibits.
The five department stores
leading the fight against the law
are Eaton's, Morgan's Simpsons,
Ogilvy's and Birk's.
Defiance Shown by Signs.
Some retailers showed their de-
f1ance Of the legislation by paint
ling signs on their windows:
"Ferme Samedi-Overt Dimanche"
Closed Saturday. Open Sunday
Or Forced to Close Saturday"
Early In the day business and
shopping districts were virtually
deserted while Catholics attended
mass. BY mid-morning. however,
Christmas shoppers converged in
large numbers on the st. Gather
inc street stores.
Some small concerns also op-
ened after giving their Catholic
employees time to attend the holy
day masses. They risked a $40
fine, but expected good business
from shoppers given the day of
from work.
The stores had advertised in
the English-language newspapers
yesterday.
