When the importation of dyes from Germany was cut off fa/ the war. it was eneoumyrmj in the people of this eonnlrif to see the lanje number of people who went info the industry to serve the Government.

One who has read the story of the work of the German Government in the United States, just prior to the war knows that the chr-mical industry in this cumttry, which was under the control of the German Government, was the center of espionage, German propaganda and dirni Government activities. They prevented the use of coal-tar products in the wunition industry. Tiny undertook to corner the supply of phenol in the United States ami pre vent its use in the man ufaeiurc. of high explosives, and at the outbreak of the war they stopped its importation. The United Stales is virtually independent of (hrrnany so far as the dye industry u concerned, and. it w our duty to keep it so. We. know what Germany null do to regain her hold on the industry in this tenantry.

The scene now shifts to the tan yard, an immense building equipped with hundreds of huge concrete vats.

The ojicraUon itself is of especial interest lK*ennse of its importance in the indii.stry. Hides, because they arc variable in Ihiel-ness and irregular in shape, are difficult to .split; at least* 11 ml was true before tie ingenious belt-knife .split! ini' machine was devised.

As t he i I lustref ion shows, the hide is passed into the ma - chine on one side and is withdrawn on the other, with one full pattern split off.' Each hide is passed through this machine three or more times, multiply ing, as it were the number of hides pro curable from a single animal. After the hides are split they arc sent to the re-tan room (3) where they are again placed in the tanning .. solution until they arc completely tanned and also treated with oil, a process which requires only two or three days, he cause the splits are now much thinner than the original hide. The splits are now stretched on frames and taken to the drying loft where they remain until all' moisture has been removed. This requires about twenty-four hours. It may be rioted in passing that from the time the stock leaves the tC: drying room up finishing point, it is known as russet leather. The next operation takes place in the shaving, softening -and russet . iepartments* (4) where the leather is made pliable and any variations, in thick ness caused hy the splitting machine are shaved off. When the hides are split, the top piece or first cut is known as the grain or hair side of the split. The next two pieces, or cuts are known as splits. These grains and splits vary in -size, thickness and quality and are therefore sorted before they are sent to the finishing shops. The means employed to finish leather vary greatly with the purpose for which it will be used. In the factory under observation practically all the grain leatlter and a very large proportion of the split leather produced is used by the automobile trade for up holstery purposes. The finishing of grain leather, because of its smooth and uniform surface, is accomplished merely by the application of a very light coating of specially prepared and colored linseed oil, and then embossed to product* whatever design or "grain g THE DU PONT MAGAZINE may be desired on the finished leather. In the case of split leather, however, a much heavier coating is required to cover the fibrous diameter of the surface. The film deposited by heavier coatings of linseed oil, which was the original method of finishing split leather, possesses neither great strength nor' durability;' but perhaps its most serious defect for this purpose is the brittleness which develops with age or a i. low temperatures, which causes the finish produced in this manner to crack very easily. The first improvement over the -linseed oil finish for spiil leather was the use of a solution made by dissolving scrap cell uloid in amyl acetate and wood alcohol, with the addition of costor oil to render the film flexible, mid of course the pigmen (s necessary la produce Ihe desired color, it \uis soon fuiinC. however, that a. by-product like scrap celluloid subject I > too wide vurialiuii to produce a reliably uniform finish, mi* i (lie* next step forward was the preparaI ion of Similar solution' from nitrocellulose made especially for this purpose in place u;` .scrap celluloid.

MULTIPLYING LEATHER Cmiltu tied fmm pa;/e 0 experimental work,was of considerable value, and the net result was thu placing at the service of the entire leather finishing industry the type of nitrocellulose solution (or "dope** as it is termed in the trade) that has been in general use ever since. The principal solvents use* l in these solutions are ethyl aeetate denatured alcohol, and benzol, all of which arc of low cost, on account of being derived from raw materials that are regularly pro<lneed in large volume in this country ami practically free fn mi llic<xlor a 1 id 1 ieaith-ciulaagering ol>jeetioiis of the former amyl acetate wood alcohol solutions. The film or coating,deposited on the surface of Ihe leather by the solut ions or "dopes" now in general use, is exceedingly strong, tough, durable, and vvalei proof, ye! sufficiently flex ible to meet the requirements of good upholstery leather; is not subject to cracking with age or at low temperatures, and provides an excellent medium for retaining the impres sions of embossing plates almost mdefimlelv, Splits from hides of good quality, properly tanned, and carefully coaled with the present-day standard "dopes*' are even superior to grain leather for purposes where the finished product is sub jected to weather exposure ami particularly rough usage--as, for example, the upholstery of some automobiles ami buggies ... Ik cause of Ihe greater toughness and durability uf the finish in comparison with the light oil coating that, is used over tlic mi!oral soft surface of grain leather. Illustration (5) shows the application of dope by menus of stiff brushes to the surface of split leather, three coats being usually required to complete the finish. Illustration (0) shows the embossing room where Ihe leather receives impressions from the plates of the embossing machines. The process of finishing patent leather (7) is also an inter esting one, requiring nitrocellulose solutions, but they are of an entirely different, charneler than the dopes employed in finishing split leather, illustration (R) shows how patent leather hides are sun-dried in the yards of the General Leat her Company, through whose courtesy we are able to present, the iieeompu living ilh is I ra l ions.

FABRIKOID II II Important Announcement Now--All Du Pont Dynamite is practically Freeze-Proof ' Result of continuous research toward improvement of product HE first commercial "low-freezing" dynamite was produced by the Du Pont Company, which has since developed a large number of similar explosives. Now a new step forward is taken. The following is an excerpt from Bulletin No. 26 to Du Pont Salesmen: "We have requested the Operating Department to discon tinue the manufacture of high-freezing straight dynamite and to make all strengths of Du Pont Straight on the new low-freezing formula. Field tests with this low-freezing straight indicate that it is fully the equal of our Highfreezing straight in strength and that it will stand up as well in cold weather as our Du Pont Gelatin, or Red Cross Extra grades. Recent field examination showed that it remained plastic at ten degrees below zero. . . The lowfreezing straight will give satisfaction at freezing and lower temperatures. . In the Du Pont Laboratories chemical and ballistic engineers are constantly searching new methods for making Du Pont Explosives more efficient, more economical and more perfectly suited to the needs of industry. This last remarkable advance in the art of explosive manufacture is merely an example of the work of these men, which results in month-to-month, almost day-to-day, increase in the efficiency of Du Pont Explosives--for as soon as an improvement has been thoroughly proven out, it is immediately adopted in all Du Pont plants. Such work as this--constantly meeting, even anticipating, in dustry's requirements--surely comes under the head of Du Pont Explosives Service. * Birmingham, Ala. Boston, Mass. Buffalo, N. Y. E.
