THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, iWj PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 2. 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. Thomas A. Ed'.f.jn was r. visitor at tl.c exposition ml commented on the it.'oits of American chemists to meet '.he emergencies forced on them by the war.

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. CITROLAX. CITROLA X. CITROLAX.

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.
