CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES EXHIBITION. 



The second National Exposition of Chemical Industries will 

 be held at Grand Central Palace, New York City, September 

 25-30, 1916. Many important manufacturing companies doing 

 business with the industries wherein chemistry plays a part, will 

 make exhibits. Several chemical and engineering societies will 

 hold their annual meetings in that city during the week. The 

 American Chemical Society, and the American Electrochemical 

 Society are among the number. 



The Bureau of Commercial Economics at Washington is co- 

 operating with the exposition by arranging an elaborate pro- 

 gram of motion pictures covering subjects dealing with the in- 

 dustries depending on chemistry. Many of these films will have 

 their premier showing at the exposition. They will take the 

 visitor through industrial plants, shops, manufactories, mines, 

 etc., where visitors themselves are never admitted. They will 

 show operations which in ordinary light would never be seen. 

 They will demonstrate more than any other kind of motion 

 pictures the great strides and improvement in the art of photo- 

 graphy. 



A few of the films that appear on the tentative program are: 

 the rubber industry, the match industry, manufacture of explos- 

 ives, varnish manufacture, silver mining, mining and manufac- 

 turing of iron, making of blotting paper, accident and fire pre- 

 vention, manufacture and use of fertilizers and the manufacture 

 of steel. 



Some of these films are now being made, and other features 

 are in active preparation for the exposition.
