MONDAY EVENING, having to find jobs. Those former officers with wives and families to support are in many cases living on meager pensions. One of the most remarkable cases i of unemployment Is that of a Cam bridge university graduate who for the greater part of the war held an important command in the army and subsequently a temporary post of great responsibility in a govern ment department. He is armed with a letter from the War Office thank ing him for his services and adding: "There are few people with greater organizing ability, more charming manners, greater tact and drive than yourself." Another letter to him from Sir Auckland Oeddes, presi dent of the Board of Trade, ex presses "warm personal thanks for your loyal and devoted co-operation in very difficult work." King George bestowed on him the order of Commander of the British Em pire. But these credentials have been of no avail in bis quest for suitable employment in this country, and, in despair, he says that he is going to America next month.

Price Jr., will be ready to announce the names of his regimental command ers. The division commander has been working steadily and consist ently on his plans for some time and has made great progress. Af ter visiting the most important military headquarters in the State, he has made rapid progress In the perfection of his original ideas. The foundation for the success of the new organization will be per fection or near perfection. Genera! Price does not want to make any false moves at first, and for these reasons he worked carefully, weighing the ability 6f every can didate for commission before he ap points him. Politics or political in lluence will play no part in the Pennsylvania Guard. _ Princeton Will Make Endowment Fund Plans Princeton, Sept. 22.

BUSINESS TAKES UP CHEMISTRY Department Stores and Mail Order Houses Install ing Laboratories New York, Sept. 22.—Department stores and mat! order houses are now Installing chemical laboratories as part of their organisation or are retaining chemists by the year. One large dry goods firm In St. Paul has a complete laboratory in full view of Its customers where tests of all kinds of merchandise are conducted. The exact kind of dye In fabrics, the fibers which they contain, whether cotton or wool or silk, or mixtures of various threads can thus be determined to the satis faction of both merchant and con sumer. By having the chemist continu ally checking up on the quality of products, large houses which sell merchandise by parcel post over wide areas can describe exactly everything enumerated in their catalogs. Thus they do not guarantee articles until they have had them thoroughly ex amined. As customers are so scat tered over the country, accurate de scriptions of merchandise prevent misunderstandings. The cutting down of unnecessary correspondence is one of the economies which has resulted from taking in a chemical partner. Much as does big business make use of chemistry at the present time, it was only about a quarter of a century ago that It even sensed the relation of research to success in manufacturing and commerce.
