CHEMISTS LOOK
FOR A BUSY. TIME
IN YEAR OF 191 1
Members of Profession Predict Pros
perity W ill Increase in the
Next Year.
New York, Nov. u". The second an
nual exposition of chemical indus
tries, held during the past week in
Grand Central Palace, was larger than
its predecessor in 1915, and was at
tended by about twice as many per
sons. The meetings of chemists' so
cieties held here during the week
were probably the most important
ever held in this country, according
to American Chemical society offi
cers. o elated were the visiting chemists
with the success of their second ex
losition that plans have already been
s-tarted for an exposition on a con
siderably larger scale in the Palace
next year.
During the week 1JU5 chemists
from all parts of the United States
registered at the Chemists' club.
The last year has been the greatest
in the American chemical industries,
and many of the chemists look for
ivcn greater prosperity in the coming
year. Representatives of the dyestuffs
industries are particularly hopeful.
An important conference was held
in the Chemist's club, at. which Dr.
Raymond F. Bacon, director of the
Melon Institute for Industrial Re
search of the University of Pittsburg,
jpke on "Motor Fuels of the Future."
He is considered an authority, on pe
troleum products. Dr. Bacon said his
tests had shown that we get less than
7) per cent of the full efficiency of
gasoline when it was used in automo
biles, and that he believed a blend of
chafing head gasoline and some heav
ier napthaline product would give bet
ter results than pure gasoline. Most
of the so-called '"gasoline savers" now
offered the public, however, only make
matters worse, Dr. Bacon said he had
found. He said that kerosene was
low used in some heavy motor trucks,
but, because of the production of tarra
substances in the sylinders, was not
proving altogether satisfactory.
Permanent Munitions Plants.
At an industrial conference in the
i rand Central Palace by Dr. William
H. Grosvenor, a consulting chemist of
this city, discussed the ammunition
plants that have sprung up in this
country in the last two years to manu
facture munitions for the allies. They
have already paid for themselves, he
said, and plans were being made by
which they could be available for
emergency use by the United States
government in future.
There have been built 1 15,000 of
thtse plants, Dr. Grosvenor said, add
ing that the government had made
minute inquiry as to the number of
men employed in them and the equip
ment of the different plants, and that,
he understood, the government
planned to make arrangements where
by each plant would receive enough
government business in the future to
keep it operating with a small force
of men, so that they could be readily
available for making munitions on a
laige scale for this government. if sud
denly needed in the future. Two reso
lutions were adopted at the meeting,
one urging the government to "pro
vide an adequate special bureau" to
investigate the demand and need of
criTjloyes of all kinds in various in
dustries and to bring employer and
prospective employe into co.itaet with
ono mother; and the other pledging
tie co-operation of he American
Cliemical society in efforts being made
t educate the youth cf the ". :untry in
special industrial lines.

it.'oits of American chemists to meet

the war.

BRUCE WOLFE OF UNiON
FINED FOR FIGHTING
From .Tuesday's pally.
Yesterday afternoon Bruce Wolfe,
a young mah residing at Union, was
brought up to answer to a charge of
fighting and as a, result of the com
plaint he received a fine and costs
amounting to SS.oO which were paid.
From the story related by Mr. Wolfe
it seems that he and another young
man were engaged in playfully box
ing each other, trying to knock their
hats off and while so engaged a young
man named Taylor heaved a small
rock at Wolfe and which hit the mark.
This was the signal for trouble and
Mr. Wolfe proceeded to hand the lad
throwing the rock a few swift ones
with his fist for the offense. The
father of the Taylor boy came up and
Indeed a complaint with County At-
tornev A. G. Cole with the result that
the information was filed yesterday
before Judge A. J. Beeson and the
voung man fined for the offense. The
fine was made as light as possible as
the circumstances seemed to be such
as to indicate some provocation for
the trouble.
GETTING "TURNED DOWN.'
If, you, young man, or young wo
man, have ever tried to get a job, or
"position" or plain work and have
been turned down because the man
who does the hiring doesn't think
you measure up to the job, don't be
discouraged. Just because one man
or scores of men, have "turned you
down," is no good reason for losing
hope and ambition.
Many of the world's most worth
while citizens met with the same ob
stacles when they started out in life.
They were "turned down" for others
who never got beyond that one place
in life.
It's all wrong about Opportunity
knocking at your door. Opportunity
doesn't knock at anybody's door. It
is you who must do the knocking, and
if Opportunity doesn't open to you
her door keep on knocking as loud as
possible and tiy other doors.
That' was the way it was with Da
vid Griffith, a master mind of the mo
tion picture world. When he tried to
get a movie job he wasn't even
looking for a "position" then he was
turned down; notinly once, but sev
eral times.
He just kept right on knocking, as
he explains in a single interview, and
it wasn't long before Opportunity op
ened the door.
Had David Griffith lost his ambi
tion to "make good" in the motion
picture business when he was first
"turned down" a few times, he would
not today be the maker of wonder
films, such as "The Birth of a Na
tion" and "Intolerance." Nor would
he be making $500,000 a year. Om
aha News.
HEARTLESS JOBBERS '
DECLARE THAT FLOUR
WILL GLIMS HIGHER
A barrel of flour ground from Ne
braska wheat costs nearly $10. The
price quoted by local jobbers Friday
morning was ?9.80 a barrel. Jobbers
anticipate still higher prices before
the wheat juggling contest ends.
"We would like to see flour nearer
the normal," said a jobber. "We are
not making much profit in the busi
ness when prices are abnormal. When
Hour gets as high as at present, there
is a pressure to shave the price more.
This comes out of the profits of the
wholesaler."
Thursday morning the price of Ne
braska standard flour quoted by re
tailers was from $2.7-3 to $2.85 per
48-pound sack. Minnesota and Dakota
flour ground from spring wheat was
quoted from $3 to $3.25 per sack.
New beet sugar is now appearing on
the local market and there are indica
tions of a small reduction in the price.
Retailers Thursday asked $8 for a
100-pound sack of beet sugar which is
a drop of 5 cents a sack. A further
drop is expected. Carre sugar is re
tailing from $8.25 to $8.30 a sack. The
cane is reported scarce and it is not
expected to drop at the same ratio as
beet sugar.
Potatoes are so high that it is re
ported that some grocers lock them in
the safe during the night. Commis
sion men solemnly declare that prices
are bound to go higher. They insist
that this prediction goes without mal
ice. Potatoes are retailing for over
$2" a bushel. They are shipped in
from other states. Nebraska spuds
are from twenty to twenty-five cents
a bushel cheaper. Grocers insist that
they are so Iiigh that customers are
buying insmall quantities. People
who once bought a bushel or two
bushels, are now satisfied to lay in a
peck or a half bushel.
FEAR FOR FATE OF
THE AMERICANS
Humor That Pershing May Be Or
dered South But No Confirmation
One or Two More Ameri
cans Known Dead.
San Antonia, Tex., Nov. G. Rumors
are current here that part of Gen
eral Pershing's expedition has been
ordered to Parral to protect Ameri
can interests there, following capture
of that city by Villistas. There is
no confirmation from any source, how
ever, and that such a move is even
contemplated is denied by General
Funston.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. C. Every en
ergy of the United States state de
partment today is being directed to
ward obtaining knowledge of the fate
of the ten Americans known to be in
Parral and apprehension was roused
to fever heat upon the arrival last
night of four Americans who fled from
Chihauhau bringing further reports
ci" the murder of Dr. C. II. Fisher,
aged American, in Santa Rosalia by
V'llista bandits.
After hunting down and killing Dr.
Fisher, the bandits told the inhabi
tants of the town they were "going
to Pural and kill these gringoes,"
natives reaching Chihuar.ua City after
the raid told he refugees. In ofntvi-.l
quarters here hope is held out that the
Americans were able to escape before
the bandits reached Parral. Repre
sentatives of mining companies em
ploying some of the men declare the:r
belief that the men are safe, but ad
mit their anx:ety has been aroused
by the lack of news.
In a message to the United Press,
General Trcvino, commander cf the
Mexican defacto garrison at Chi
lur.hua City stated he was unable to
obtain any news of the fate of the
American?.. ' Communication still cut
.iff,"' said the telegram from Trevino.
'and have r.o information from Par
ral. Making efforts to get news."
On the snme t lviin bringing the
American rc-Tugc-es last night were the
families of two staff officers of Tra
;in ar.d the families of seven French
residents of the Chihuahua capital
leaving there in fear that Villa will
mcn'i attack that city. They crossed
.o tiie Amer'can side of the river.
Hvrvy foixigni r coming oi predicts
:h nt the secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
jf Chihuahua City, was one of the
refuses.
"It is almost curtain Fisher was
!i!k'd," he said. "A well-known na
tive cattle man who came overland
from Santa Rosalia declared that the
doctor hid when the bandits entered
the town. Upo.i orders of the Yillista
onnr;n'er he was hunted down and
-.tabled to death.
"In Chihuahua City it is believed
Parral is in possession of Yilla, but
.ve heart'! nothing of the fate of the
Americans." said Dr. Phillips.
Oilier ltfu gees said that artillery
rn the hiils back of Chihuahua City
iiad been hauled down yesterday and
"loaded upon flat cars. This was taken
as indication that evacuation was im
minent. That another American was mur
dered in Santa Rosalia was the state
ment of Di. W. V. Jackson of El Paso
last night. He declared that an in
fluential Mexican who arrived here
brought information that Harry
Brenshan, mining prospector, was
caught by bandits after Fisher's mur
der and shot to death. Dr. Jackson
said the report had been brought in
by a messenger sent to Santa Rosalia
by his informant after the raid, but
would not divulge his name.

RESENT SUGGES
TION QF PEACE
Bishop of Worcesler, England,
Doubts Whether Entente Allies
Would Tolerate It.
New York, Nov. (J. Speaking at
a luncheon given in his honor here to
day by the pilgrims of the United
States, Right Rev. Huyshe Wolcott
Yeatman-Biggs, bishop of Worcester,
England, asserted that the role which
the English people belieye the most
thoughtful Americans desire to play
is that their nation shall be hailed by
all the world, even by those who have
been at war, as the herald of true
peace and of progress which gives to
every nation, big or little, "a place in
God's sun." Later in his address the
bishop said:
"I doubt whether the temper of the
allies would even suffer and sugges
tion of peace intervention until the
cause for which we are ready to give
our allies is accomplished."
The British prelate declared that
some day England with her allies will
win "another world victory for the
freedom of men," and that "a new as
pect of the relation of capital and la
bor, new phases of religion, politics
and domestic economy must find thei
place in our new homes."
"We look'to America now so to up
hold the ideals of justice, of mercy
and good fellowship," he said,' "that
the world may presently turn to it as
a nation which by its firmness of pur
pose and greatness of thought, has
won the claim of the world to be so
regarded when we come to settle our
affairs. That is what we are looking
for.
"When peace conies, it would be in
deed helpful if the neutral countries
lent a hand in the adjustment of al
our future, in the adjustment of those
social conditions which make for a
lasting commonwealth. That is what
we aim at; we are tired of the world
'empire.' I do not think that we any
longer want tg talk of the British em
nire. We want to talk of the British
brotherhood and the British common
wealth."
CAR PURCHASES
ARE VERY HEAVY
Raiircads Bought Equipment and En
gines in October.
Purchases of freight cars in the
United States and Canada were
heavier in October than in any pre
vious month this year, says the Rail
way Age" Gazette. According to oiu
records, 21,034 freight cars were oi
dered in this period, as compared with
10,049 ordered, during the same month
in 11)15. This makes ' the total of
freight car purchases up to November
of this year, 88,398, as against 70,798
for the same period a year ago. In no
other month of this year have freight
equipment purchases exceeded 10,000
cars, except in January and February,
when over 14,000 cars were ordered
If the orders placed in November
equal those placed during the past
month the total purchases for the
year will exceed the orders placed in
1915, i. e., 109,792. Locomotive orders
reported or October, 191G, were only
eighty-seven, as compared with 295
placed in the same month in 1915. Or
ders were reported in October this
year, however, for 180 locomotives
for export. The total purchases of
locomotives for domestic use so far
recorded, are 2,130, as compared with
1,012 reported for the entire year of
1915. Passenger cars are also showing
up well, orders having been placed
during October for 212 cars, this mak
ing the month the best during the
past two years with the exception of
one exceptionally good month, Decem
ber, 1915, when orders for 422 cars
were reported. The total orders for
passenger cars reported thus far this
year, exclusive of subway, elevated
and Pullman cars, are 1,052, as com
pared with 996 in the first ten months
of 1915, or with 1,467 for the entire
year.
