A large industry can afford to maintain special research laboratories* and if an industry Is not sufficiently large, it would be advisable to create a co-operative research laboratory where a number of concerns interested in the same lines could maintain laboratories. This method is being fostered in England at the present day, the English Government having appropriated $25,000,(100 for tiiis purpose* I might say the Du Pont Company will spend in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 this year for work of this character! exclusive of capital expenditure for build ings and equipment, employing over 300 technically trained men, and a total of 866 men on this class of work, I use this illustration because I have not the means of knowing what other concerns are doing along these lines. Besides the research chemist, every organisation of sufficient, magnitude should obtain a corps of chemical engineers under thefdirect control of a chemical execu tive, the research department also coining under the same control. Every chemical operation of a large organisation should, he supervised by a specialist in that line; lor instance, in the Du Pont organization, besides the chemical director .and assistant director, the manufacture of sulphuric acid, nitric acid, ratio gl\ cit iii, nil n>< eJLniose, solvents, py-ni-lm, smokeless |M.iwd*'r and high oxplnsivi-s ;tri` all supervised by hfjeehilids atouo: them knew, and many of them have a- iu u u Lt o- ;*-dr:lnnts. Tlnar fund ion h lat'p'iy to pnmiiitr chemical ofieienry in the opevrd ion ot j h-nts and may bo classified along the same lines as Tayloris Functional Foreman. In his system of shop manage ment.. Not only the works operations, but the works laboratories, come under the technical supervision of this staff organization. The importance of the staff organization above referred to is that the chemical director and Ms assistants become thoroughly familiar with all the phases of the business, not only from a man ufacturing and cost, but also from a selling point of view. They become familiar with the requirements of the trade, and u.ro able to assist the management in a con sulting capacity from a very wide point of view, X consider this latter function as being of extreme im portance in tti3 development of the American indus tries. In fact, I am satisfied that the chemical engineer in the future will find his place in the governing boards of American industries--a point which was brought out very strongly by Lord Baleigh in Ms speech made in England at the time the British Dyes Limited was incorporated. He attributed the success of the German chemical industries as being largely due to the uses of men with chemical training in the management of their companies. - ; .You are all familiar, of course, with the effect the war had on the supply of dyes to the textile industries Headquarters at the Du Pont Experimental Petition August, 1918 Du Pont Magazine S iif this enutilrv, awl also with tin' Gmimn prcpn- using all of ihe basic raw rlaterials necessary for the garnin in 11 it- many (erlmieal journals intended 1<> dis m.mufaciure of dyes, namely, sulphuric acid, nitric courage Amcriet n,s from entering (hi,-, great iedtiu ry. acid, benzol, toluol, xylol, mqilrlhah-rie, nil m-beiixoi The eomplexil v of ini; indusl ry was point.a | mil; for aniline, and picric, acid, it was perfect ly natural to con their discouragement.

By means of I lie wellsIriil ada.pl ed to this purpose, holes are drilled in the rock the entire depth of tin* hire of the quarry. They are usually Id to 30 feel fmck from the face, this di s' a nee being known as the burden, and are spaced about !5 to 20 I eel. apart., inches in diameter being the most usual size. Any number of these holes can be 'fired by appro priate means id, one time-, lad. usually not more than -10 or 50 ait* attempted. By adaptieg the explosives used to the nature nf 1 lie rock, it is possible to break it up in the size desired, and when properly spaced with the right, burden, fhe broken ru.-lc is thrown out mi the quarry Hour without being ,scattered too far or without doing damage to buildings or oilier eipttpmri'l unless some unseen weakness exists hi tile roes which carnot be guarded against. This is the most, eeonoinieal method -of blasting roek for erushtng at- the present lime, but; requires a rat her large and expensive equip ment to handle it successfully, .lithough il is occasiontdly loaded by hand into file ears to go direct to the crusher, (hi! more etliciriit way is In' means of the steam shovel, by means of which broken stone is loaded into a trtuii of ears, which are taken to the crusher by a. locomotive. One of the advantages of the* well-drill system of blasting is that it admits of what is known ns the " buffer" sysrem of shooting. Figure 5 shows an ex ample of this. It consists of throwing out :t mass of broken rock in such a way that subsequent blasts can be fired before it is removed; that is, piling tlie debris up against Hit* mass winch has nlve; tly been thrown out. In this way the rock from the first, and second shots lies between the face and tin: steam shovel, so that the operation of the steam shor'd is not suspended at any time. When this method is used, the steam shovel, and the cars which it lilts, run on tracks paralle. lo the quarry face which is being blasted. The rock Iroin each blast is simply piled up on top of and agaiit.si previous blasts and is not thrown out on I lie (pinny or on the tracks ami equipment, so that the drilling and blasting can go oil almost continuously and die tracks and equipment are never disturbed. The limit, in depth fur well drills is from about 3(1 feet To 13(1 feet. Holes shallower than 30 feet are not economical hy tine well-drill method, and lutes deeper than 130 feet are not often drilled, on account; of the numerous diliieulties which such a deep hole would entail. When* slips anil scums are known to exist in the face of a quarry, it. is possible to guaol against aeeidenis sometimes by reducing Hie load of explosives a) ;he weak point; 1 his can In don:' by lire,-iking I he charge, as it is called, which is simply loading sai.d or rock dust into the hole at the weak point. Not all quarries lend I hemselves to the economic use of the well-eriU met hod. 'While limestone .quarries which have a fairly soft rock to drill can Iso handled hi this wa.v no matter what the angle of strafllivatiun, harder rocks, such as syenite, granite, diabase, cannot be successfully worked by this method unless the strutilieal ion is horizontal, or nearly so, as the bits are liable to jam in the crevices where the reek seams term an anile angle with the line of the bore hole. In some eases of trap rock, especially' of a taaltiniiinr iiinnnfion. much more economical blasting is done by the snakeholing method, which blows out tile bottom of the fan-, whereupon the overburden drops down and is shaPered by its own w< ighl.. A tunnel met hod is one which is not used often in (lie eastern pail, of the l mi ted Kittles, but. quite fre quently on I he Pacific {loss!.

The first manufactured, while extremely crude ami dangerous, was wonderfully ef fective when used under advantageous conditions. Its composition was of nitroglycerin and guhr, which, latter is ordinarily described as an earthy material like Fuller's earth. It, is in reality the shell remains of tiny animals, and might be described as the ``fossiliferous skeletons of diatouiaceous infusoria," Whatever its `name, this fine material was used to absorb liquid nitroglycerin to form dynamite.. The early processes of manufacture were very crude, as all mixing and handling were done by hand. Both production and use were limited, as the blaster of that date preferred to use blasting powder, with which he was more familiar, and which lie considered saier and more reliable. The principal objections to the dynamite of that day arose from the fact that the dynamite was extremely sen sitive; the guhr did not absorb and hold the nitroglycerin securely, but allowed it to leak out, thereby causing many accidents and the inert or inactive nature of the guhr reduced the effective strength of the explosive. The real value of the new explosive was soon demon strated, and much experimental work was begun in an effort to overcome the objectionable features. Among the accomplishments in. this connection have been the substitution of active dopes or absorbents for inactive guhr, which played no real part in. the explosion. This introduced a variety of materials, the principal of which were wood pulp and nitrate of soda,, both of which enter into (combustion with the explosive mate rial used and add greatly to the effectiveness of the explosive. The wood pulp absorbs the liquids and at the same time is consumed in the explosion, whiles the guhr which it replaces did not. Further progress in the art of manufacture intro duced nitrate of ammonia, as an economical substitute for part of the nitroglycerin. In comparatively recent years low freezing dyna mites} were developed, principally by the introduction of certain nitrated coal tar derivatives. All these changes broughtabout many imp rovements in. dynamite and made it better suited for various kinds of work. Today there is a class or type of dynamit c suited for every kind of blasting, and the processes of manufac ture have been perfected to a very high standard.

The appearance of any surface, whether fiat or em bossed, can. be imitated perfectly by leather substitutes as to all elements of color, grain and finish. An in finite variety of pleasing effects is obtainable with standard materials, and where something entirely special is needed it is possible to produce it by comparatively simple adjustments during the process of manufacture of the leather substitute to be used. The sheen or lustre of the finished material can be varied through all gradations from very dull to very bright-. Leather substitutes can be most, any possible service requirement as to tensile strength, toughness and wear resistance. They vary in tex ture from very light-weight sheetings to the heaviest cotton, goods, and spe cial weaves are always possible for special requirements. The surface coating can also be varied in the number and thickness of applications. so as to leave a very fine or very heavy protective film,or a film of any necessary degree of hardness or pliability. On the impermeability of leather substitutes depends their utility for innumerable uses where a water-proof, grease-proof, sanitary and washable fabric is required. Any high-grade leather substitute is absolutely im pervious to water, mineral oils and greases, dust and practically every foreign substance likely to come in contact with it in every-dnv use. It can be washed and thoroughly cleaned with soap and water. Pyroxy lin. coated leather substitutes are also mould and mildewproof, unaffected by changes of climate and tempera ture and immune to germ and insect attacks. It is not surprising therefore to find milady's knitting bag made of a light-weight leather substitute in just the shade to harmonize with #her dress. Nor is it surprising that Un cle Sam is using heavier leather substi tutes for upholstery on all his ships, wartrucks,atnbulancesand aeroplanes. These materials are affording relief from the shortage of leather and from the inferior service qualities of other materials which they replace.

Let No Stump Stand on Fertile Land HILE you are spending good money every year W before planting, and you work to get all you can from the ground, removing stumps will increase your acreage enough to pay fertilizing costs for the entire farm. Every stump is a drone that stands in the way of plowing and planting. Good head work dictates the use of RED CROSS FARM POWDER or RED CROSS STUMPING POW DER to clear fields for bigger yields. These two explo sives are especially designed for this work--the quickest and cheapest method of increasing acreage. E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. POWDER MAKERS SINCE 1802 Wilmington, Delaware NOTE.-- When in Atlantic City, Visit the Da Pont Products Store. Boardwalk and Pennsylvania Avenue, and Dll Pont Shooting School on the Ocean End of Young's Million Dollar Pier. II r -i E ' V. - 1 --1 Be Thrifty and Paint Now Many property owners feel that painting is an " expense "--something that they can get along without. But every painted surface needs renewing, for the same reason that a person needs new clothes -- both clothes and paint get shabby. Painting at regular intervals forestalls repairs. Neglect of painting means both a repair bill and a paint bill later, because the repaired work must be painted. PREPARED PAINT keeps down the high maintenance cost that results from painting neglect. It is also most economical in first cost, because it is always uniform--works out easily--covers a given area with the least number of gallons--far outlasts cheap, adulterated paint and handmixed lead and oil. Every Bridgeport dealer can show attractive color combinations and give you some advice about painting that will save money for home-owners. Write us if you do not know the Bridgeport agent in your community. Bridgeport Wood Finishing Works Owned and Operated by E. I. du Pont de Nemours &.
