SUPERSUBURB IN BRIGHTON London, —(By Mail) —It is said that the average English middle-class home Is so ugly it ought to be burnt down and Englishmen are just beginning to realize this fact, with the result that all over England plans are afoot to build model villages and model suburbs. Brighton Is the first to lead the way. They are building a super-suburb, con ; sisting of 900 houses, so planned that there will not be mure than 10 to the acre. This will allow each house a garden of 16 rods—or 640 feet. The suburb is to be built in an orchard setting. Fruit trees will line the roadways. There will he no walls, the gardens being divided by hedges. There will he recreation grounds, allotments and common plav-grounds. The houses are to be built on modern and artistic lines, the internal arrangements being the last word in house-comfort. The only fly in the ointment is the question of the small boys. Will they be model enough to inhabit a model suburb, or will they help themselves to the fruit'that abounds in the public throughfares? It is hoped they will become imbued with a great respect for communal rights and thus grow up first-class democrats. GROWING OLD BEFORE YOUR TIME Kidney trouble tends to “slow up" men and women in middle life and they fear oncoming old age when it is only the kidneys that are at fault.

All the national women’s organiza tion, Mrs. Henderson pointed out, havr endorsed the thrift, movement and ar ranged to incorporate it as a part of the coming year’s work. Each organ ization has appointed a national chair man on thrift, who has in turn ap pointed a state chairman in her or ganization. Mrs. Henderson, beside' being connected with the Indiana com rnittee, is thrift director for the fed eratio of women’s clubs in Indiana Her letter to the vice-chairman, ask ing them to place the thriftwork he fore the clubs, said in part: “It is to our interest to bring In diana welt to the front in this effort to enlist the aid of all organized laid ies in our work, and it is the earnest desire that the vice-chairman keep ir direct touch with all organized groupr of women in her locality, asking them for an endorsement of the movement urgign them to appoint a thrift sec retary in their group who will be re sponsible so rthe distribution of lit erature and the sale of stamps in hei organization, reporting the same tc state headquarters. “There has been no mvement start ed in recent years which prmises sc much good to us as a nation, and <t only needs your hearty active interest and participation in it to make it es fective in your locality.

U. S. CHEMISTS TO j 4 PROCLAIN FREEDOM ! Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 2. —The com j j plete freedom of the chemical indus- < try of the United States from foreign domination Is expected to be Vh cnssed ] by Secretary of War Baker In his ad- 1 I dress to be delivered before the an- i nual meeting of the American Chem-|! ical society to be held at the Belle- ‘ vue-Slratford here, from September'' 2d to 6th. I! This Is expected to be the assemblage of chemists ever held in 1 the United States, the membership of < the society havikg: Increased from 7,170 in 1914 to 13.600 in 1919. More ; than 5,000 chemists are now at work > within two hundrod miles of this city i and thousands more are in Illinois, ] Ohio and other stab's only a few 1 hours journey from here. < One of the large delegations, It Is ! believed, will be from California J where there has been a tremendous ' advance in the chemical industry with- . in the last year. J The strides made by the chemical [ industry of the nation, as shown in < statistics issued by the American , Chemical society in advance of the \ convention, were directly stimulated 1 by President Wilson's reeommenda- < tion to congress that the industry he ! safeguarded and by the disposition of ' legislators to furnish adequate protection. This effect is especially felt by the newly organized dye section of the society. The introduction of a license system would regulate for a limited number of years the importation of dyes, colors and medicinal sub stances. It was pointed out that Germany’s war strength was largeiv due to the fact that, almost overnight, she could convert her great chemical plants into munition factories. Previous to the war her favorite weapon was attacking the chemical industries of other nations was the* “dumping” of the products of these huge plants at less than cost prices, when any rival to her trade appeared. The ,protection for this “dumping” process will, it is said, make chemistry a mighty factor in the era of reconstruction upon which the country, has entered. Through the research an dingenuitv of American chemists new sources of patash upon which farming and many manufacturing industries depend, have been found in the lakes and rocks of the United States and in the kelp fields of the Pacific const, Rofore the war Germany was able, virtually, to control the potash trade of the world because under muc hos her territory are soluble ores from which potash is extracted at slight expense. American chemists have been spending millions of dollars in research work for the development of a group of dyes known as vat dyes. One large manufacturer in order to olace its vat dye department on an efficient basis, has expended $1,800,000 in experimental work. The first session of the dye section will he of importance, not only to chemists, but to manufacturers of leather, textiles and many other fabrics in the preparation of which colors are required.
