HAMMOND SPEAK NEX’T 
WEDNESDAY. 
Former Congressman Herman A. 
Metz of New York, one of the largest 
importers and manufacturers of dye- 
stuffs in this country, who is to be 
the chief speaker at the ninth annual 
outing of the Essex County Associ- 
ated Boards of Trade, to be held at 
Ferncroft Inn, Wednesday, Sept. 13, 
1916, recently said in an address to a 
business organization of manufac- 
turers and merchants: 
“This European war is a commer- 
cial war. The Germans will not give 
up any dyestuff secrets during the 
war. Americans are not capable of 
discovering formulas for themselves 
in the meantime, and after the war 
the Germans will be in a position to 
demand what prices they desire for 
the dyestuffs the have. 
“Do not be deceived by the ‘bunk’ 
that the Democratic head of the 
United States Department of Com- 
merce is giving out in regard to Amer- 
ican discoveries in the dyestuff field. 
At the maximum, Americans can only 
produce six per cent of the dyestuffs 
that they need, and these not of a 
dependable quality. Germany pro- 
duces ninety per cent of the depend- 
able dyes used in the world, and the 
speaker believes that after the war 
the Germans will have to come over 
to America and establish dyestuff fac- 
tories here, as they naturally will not 
ive up their secrets to others. That 
will mean that the Germans will have 
a far greater hold upon the dyestuff 
market than ever before. | 
“A German factory sets aside one- 
half of its profits for improvements 
and for scientific research. Ameri- 
cans put all their profits into divi- 
dends, not even in some cases divid- 
ing any of their profits to take care 
~~ of depreciation. 
“This, to my mind, is one of the 
secrets for the remarkable German 
efficiency and wonderful progress 
they have made in the research in 
scientific fields.” 
Mr. Metz is the controlling factor 
in the group of men responsible for 
initiating the use of submarines as 
cargo carriers for dyestuffs and chem- 
icals from Germany to the United 
States. 
Other speakers and invited guests 
at the outing will be Senator Henry 
Cabot Lodge, and the three congress- 
men, each of whom represent a por- 
tion of Essex County, Messrs. Gard- 
ner, Phelan and Rogers, ex-Senator 
Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, and

Ever tempted to sell your automo- 
bile 2” asked the Cheerful Idiot. “The 
temptation is strong enough,” replied 
Mr. Inbadd, “but there are too many 
pointed involved. You know | mort- 
gaged my house in order to buy the 
machine.” “Yes, I knew that.” ‘Well, 
I mortgaged the machine in order to 
build the garage, and now I’ve had 
to mortgage the garage in order to 
buy gasoline.”—Puck.

__Here is a good story told in the 
“Life of Sir John Henniker Heaton,” 
just published. One of Heaton’s lads 
was a middy and when home on leave 
he was remonstrated with by his 
parent for never telling him anything 
about the navy. “No, thank you,” 
replied young hopeful. ‘“Too many 
of our fellows have had their careers 
simply ruined by their fathers asking 
questions in Parliament !"_Echange. 
_ During the course of a trial in 
Chicago, a witness by the name of 
Francis Dooley was asked, concern- 
ing the defendant: “Are you related 
to Thomas Dooley?” “Very distant- 
ly,” said Francis. “I was me mother’s 
first child—Francis was the tinth.”
