According to the rules of the French telephone service the person intending to talk must file an application and then patiently await his turn. Usually there is a delay of several hours. Some genius conceived the brilliant idea of taking advantage of this situation by making numerous applications to talk to various cities and then selling his turns on the wire at a considerable premium over the official fee to those whose business was too urgent to await their turn. It is said that this unique speculation had netted more than one fortune. The French telephone service is operated exclusively by the Government and is notoriously the worst in carry the building to two-story height and is laying a foundation with that end in view.

Silk Purse Made from Sow's Ear ARMS DELEGATES TO MEET AGAIN WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The second meeting of the American delegation to the coming arms limitation international conference will take place next Friday at 2 p.m., it was learned from Secretary of State Hughes. Silk Purse Made from Sow's Ear The modern chemist has supplanted nature by extracting from the familiar lump of coal many necessities, from the dainiest perfumes and the most enduring dyes to many of the essentials of medicine, including aspirin, cocaine, carbolic acid and about seventy per cent of the contents of every home cabinet of remedies. In ancient times the alchemist spent fruitless years in seeking a panacea for human illies and attempting to transmute base materials into precious metals. Today the chemist has made the dreams of his scientific brother of other ways come true. When a chemist made a silk purse from a sow's ear the other day he discovered the old proverb and at the same time indicated the tremendous strides that had been made in the laboratory in the last few years. From commonplace coal tar the creative chemist of today is able to produce not only a wide variety of drugs, dyes, powders, preservatives, building materials and hundreds of other articles, but delicate perfumes that came only from the Orient, dyes of every hue, ivory trinkets, rubles and sapphires. The precious red coral of the Mediterranean, the clear lustre of amber, the block of ebony and the cloudiness of onyx, may now be taken readily available. Coal tar products have taken their place in every branch of modern industry and our research chemists are steadily producing new wonders. The chemical industry as a whole depends upon the dye industry for the intermediates of coal tar from which these scores of other products are made, from star of roses to VNT. According to the London "Times": "A danger to a national chemical industry is as much a State question as a danger to an army or navy. Nation, such as the British, the French and the Americans, with world-wide responsibilities, which have been forced into war in the past and may be forced into war again, dare not allow themselves to be weakened by the destruction of their fundamental war-time industry for the glory and financial benefit of a German organization, which, according to the irrefutable evidence of official history, was the backbone of Germany's military effort in the recent conflict."
