At the subscription dinner given at the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening, Dr. Charles L.

to the highest office within its gift. I Jr. Charles H. Herty gave the longest speech at the subscription dinner. He described the work that has been done during the past ten years to build up a strong organic-chemicals industry, in order to make our nation independent of foreign countries in respect to pharma- ceuticals needed to heal the sick, dyestuffs requisite to color our fabrics, and mater- ials of value to national defense.
