. FOREIGN SCIENCE NEN ARE COMING Will Atteod U. S, Chemical In- stitate Here Evanston, T, Feb. 28.—M—A group of foreign scientists is coming to the United States this summer to join hundreds of American chemists in conducting at Northwestern uni- versity an institute of chemistry, un- | der the auspices of the American | Chemical gocicty. The dates are| July 23 to August 18. Sir James Colquhoun principal and vice chancellor of the TUniversity of 8t. Andrews, &cotland will head the visitors from overseas 8ir James is internationally known ! as an investigator in the chemistry of | sugars, In 1926 he lectured before | the institute of politics at Wiillams- town, Mass, and. is the only European holder of the Willar Gibbs medal, awarded annually b; the Chicago section of the America Chemical society for outstanding | achievement in chemical science. | Twenty-eight conferences have | been arranged for the four weeks' ! session of the institute. One group | will deal with the influence of | chemistry in the better utilization of raw materlals. Other conferences | will be devoted to chemotherapy, | disposal of municipal wastes, rubber, eclence and natlonal defense, the | chemistry of life processes, synthetic | raw materials, antioxidants and | cellulose. Plans for a chemical warfare on dlsease will be a dominant topic. The chemists will also discuss ways for providing farm reliect by de- velopment of new markets for agri- cultural products, paying special at- | tention to the elimination of wastes, | proper conversion of which it has been estimated, would mean an an- nual increase of $3,000,00¢,000 in the value of farm products. Through chemistry, many scientiets foresee the rise of great industries based on raw agricultural materials, now un- used, The committee appointed to di- rect the institute comprises Prof. N. | E. Gordon, University of Maryland; | Prot. B. §. Hopkins, Tllinols; Dr. H. Howe, editor of “Industrial and neering Chemis- try,” Washington; Dr. E. K. Mees, Rochester, N. Y.; Prof. §. W.

Juan, Oft Governor, Loses His Job Again Banta Fe, N. M., Feb. 28 (P—Juan Jose Gutierrez, one time scout with Kit Carson, is again an ex-governor. For three months he ruled the Indian pueblo of Banta Clara and carried a silver-headed cane, the symbol of office which was present- ¢4 to one of his predecessors by University of Trvine, |, President Lincoln. A recent elec- tion made another man governor, but Juan Jose may be & plain citizen only temporarily, for he has been clected governor so many times he has lost count. He has soon many moons flit by, but he has lost count of his age, too. As the paleface reckons time, he things, he is about 100 years old. The Santa Clara's have turned to younger men for leadership, but they have always called Juan Jose back to the cane. * While he is waiting for a turn in | political fortuncs, the deposed gov- ernor seclls pictures of himself in the regalia of office, to get money for tobacco. Emigration Becomes Profession in Spain Pontevedra, Spain, Feb, 28 P— 1"undreds of emigrants from Galicia nd Asturias return to their home- and from zbroad with comfortable ortunes and generously lay out large sums of money for improving the conditions of their fellow-coun- | trymen, There is another class, however, hich may be called the “profes- jonal emigrant” class, members of vhich go abroad virtually every year when the local harvest has terminated and return home six months later after a trip to Argen- tina, Cuba or Mexico very little better off than they were when they left. One middle-aged emigrant has croased the Atlantic 12 times. He 1s still poor, although he earned good wages abroad. | CENTURY OF SMOKES North Tonowanda, N.

The Baltic sea has become & hive of swift small boats carrying tlquor from Esthonia to Finland. Machin. guns bark and there have been pitched battles be- tween rival rum-runners and hi- jackers. In Esthoniw liquor is distilled m large factorfes and sold on the open market. In Finland there is prohibition.

Both Finnish and Esthonian boats can 'be seen anchored 15 miles out at sea waiting their cus- tomers. If ther have not disposed of their wares on the high sea, they slip into a small harbor under cover of darkness, and land their cargoes. Strong competition has grown up between the sellers and clashes fre- quently occur. One dramatic fight is still reverberating through the north. A Finn and an Esthonian were anchored some 15 miles southwest of Hangoe selling their liquor. The Finn was asking more than the Esthonian, and the latter sold out, while the Finn still had 100,000 gal- lons of liquor. When it was dark the Finn set sail and wit" all lights out he steered for his competitor. He ran him down and sailed on without waiting to pick up the crew. The Esthonians managed to get into a lifeboat and were subsequently rescued by an American steamer {which took them to Helsingfors.
