German Chemical Makers Not Hurt by American Dyes
U. S. Pharmaceutical Good Make Inroads Causing Much Anxiety to Barons
By CARL D. GROAT
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin, April 30. (U.S. Press Bureau)
America is not greatly troubling the German dye producers. On the other hand, American producers of pharmaceutical products are contributing to the German production and competing with the German products on the world market. There appears to be real anxiety in the one-strong fortress of the American market. Light is thrown on the dye chemical situation by the trade review of
Light is thrown on the dye chemical situation by the trade review of the S. P. D. agency which writes:
Great American Efforts
"America made great efforts during and after the war to make itself independent of the German dye machine it almost completely relied in 1914.
"A good view of the extent of these efforts, partially undertaken under protection of the American government, is furnished by the fact that from the beginning of the war until the end of 1923 not less than one and a half million dollars was spent in the American-gypt-style industry.
"The statistics for the year 1923 should not be underestimated, even though they are not in proportion to he amounts expended.
"The American dye-stuff industry was able to increase the production of dye-stuffs and to put new lines on the market; but in general the in-place German coat tar dyes, especially the special brands of the German factories, Leadership in this line is still held by the German company Rohm, which it received as a result of the war, the Versaillies Treaty and the consequences of the Bahr occupation. This is proven by the fact that similar companies with the German brand, together with the German product, on the American market.
American Dyes Exported The American production in 1922 went exclusively into the export of German dye, and this was the world market, while American consumers preferred German goods. This explains the increase of the German dye import in America, which was estimated by the American Consumer Price Index to be higher than in 1922. Consequently one can conclude that the German dye industry has maintained in general its original market in America. The figures would have been greater if the American dye export of the German factories
"In comparison to dye-stuffs, German pharmaceutical preparations came off worse. This can be ascribed 'to the fact that the American producer had been in the field, though even today it cannot compete with German medicaments. However, the American producers succeeded in increasing the export of dyes from Germany above the 1922 export, and doubled the export figure for 1913."
Kansas Given Tree Relic
Ancient 'Washington Elm' Once Historic Landmark
The state of Kansas has been presented with a portion of the famous Washington Elm," by Mayor Edward Graham Quah of Cambridge; Mass. The role will be placed in the museum in the Memorial Building.
It was under this tree that George Washington took command of the Continental Army in the American Revolution. The tree, said to be over two hundred and four years old, fell down Oct. 6, 1923, during a storm.
Prior to this tine, repeated attempts had been made to preserve the tree which was growing weak from a rotting of its core. The hollow trunk was finally removed and served to strengthen the tree temporarily and preserved it for several years beyond its natural span.

The Square and Compass Club will meet Thursday evening at 7:30 at the Stirne club rooms. All members are urged to be present because of important business to be transacted.

The new library is fast nearing completion. The workmen at present are putting on the first coat of paint to give the walls a fresh scheme is a light yellow for the walls and ceiling with the base trimmed in a dull brown to match the brown color.
All windows are in and the construction company has torn its hoisting machinery down and is now demolishing its store buildings. The machines are being installed.
