Industries Expand Research Rapidly 2,350 Companies Use 70,033 Persons in This Work. WASHINGTON. ? Industrial research has now become one of the major activities of business in this I country, with 2,350 companies em: ploying 70,033 persons exclusively in research work. The annual cost of these activities exceeds $300,000,000 and absorbs about 6 per cent of the net Income of industry, according to a report of the national research council and the national resources planning board. Professionally trained persons now engaged in industrial research include 15,700 chemists, 14,980 engineers, 2,030 physicists, 1,955 metallurgists, and about an equal number of bacteriologists and biologists. An additional 33,480 persons are employed in technical, administrative and clerical positions. In 1920 only about 300 laboratories were engaged in research activities, and the personnel was about 9,300. In addition to industrial plants, the federal government maintains many research laboratories which co-operate in industrial activities that promise to redound to the public good, among them the laboratories of the bureau of agricultural chemistry and engineering. The department of agriculture is now building four new regional research laboratories which will give cooperative assistance to industrial research plants. The bureau of standards is also frequently called upon to assist In trade association research activities. Latest statistics show that the chemical and allied industries employ the greatest number of research workers. Next come the petroleum, electrical communication and electrical machinery, and the rubber industries. Record Crowd Hears Of Army Regulations (Continued rrom first page) heard. Dr. A. W. Humphries, county health officer and physician presided at the meeting and gave some interesting information. I Dr. Humphries, in discussing the "off limit" regulation declared that any action calling for a place to be placed "off limits" would result only from a failure of the owner or manager of such place to observe the regulations as provided by the state and army. He stnted that all places know what must be done and any failure resulting in action taken to impose the "off limit" penalty woud be ascribed to the owner or manager. No trailers will be allowed to stop in the area and the state, county and city police will serve summary notice upon the owners or drivers of same and permit them 12 hours to get out of the county. Careful scrutiny will be exercised against all strangers and extra precaution will be taken to prevent the operations of prostitutes. William Weston, state milk inspector talked at some length regarding the milk requirements and what would have to be done by dealers to have their product receive a grade A listing, a requirement necessary for army consumption. ? 1 RED CROSS NOTES This little message from the National Roll Call Director la truly worth repeating: I uin remluded of a modest little grave marker, located ut the side of an English by-road. This Inscription reads: "There la not enough darkness In uil the world to put out the light of one Hinall candle." Although Inconspicuous and unheruldud, this simple legend rekindles our hopes and serves to sharpeu our convictions that so long as there remains a Hod Cross there shall be no blackout of Mercy.

For 190 years this Anglo-Saxon citadel of the North American continent has thrived?and suffered-in wartime; struggled for economic security in peace. Today the story is the same. The boom is on again. Halifax may not be tha biggest port in the world but today it probably is the busiest. It moves the most ships, a large percentage of them in convey for Britain. "It's a pity we must always thrive on vfur," says Port Manager Ralph Hendry. HS wishes there were no sucn tragic design for prosperity here. But he knows, as do all native Halifaxers, that you can't beat fate and geography. Nova Scotia sits out on the eastern fringe of the continent, some 2,700 miles from Liverpool. So Halifax once more becomes the Gibraltar of the Western world, the great crossroads of empire, where a Hindu turban is almost as common as a New Zealancier's overseas cap. Evidence of the crossroads nature of Halifax is on every side. Port Is Ice Free. Ask a native Halifaxer why it takes a yvar to push his city into prosperity and he'll answer you short and easy. Geography. Halifax has one of the finest natural harbors in the world. Farther inland, connected with the outer harbor by a deep narrows, lies a huge anchorage basin, where scores of ships may lie awaiting convoy. The port is ice free all winter. . Geography also made Nova Scotia, and more particularly Halifax haibor, a British perch to flank the French in North America in the E'ghteenth century. Parliament subsidized a colony in 1749 and sent it to the Harbor of Chebucto in Acadia. That colony became Halifax. There followed the French and Indian wars, when British navy paymasters brought prosperity to Halifax. Then the American Revolution. Halifax remained loyal to the end, supplying blockading fleets and privateers for the British. During the Napoleonic wars the royal navy kept big fleets in the harbor. Wolfe planned the capture of Quebec here. And it was here during the War of 1812 that the world's first modern convoys were made up and escorted through the American blockade by British men o' war. Prospered In 1914. The story was the same in the Crimean and Boer wars. The biggest prosperity came in 1914. It was the same business of supplying rendezvous for convoys, a North Atlantic base for the British fleet, and later for the Americans. Supplies for great waves of France-bound soldiers were furnished here, too. Halifax was in the money again. Through it all, Halffaxers have not rested content to reap the profit of war. They've also taken the risks. You can name hardly t battle fought by British forces anywhere in the world without running into a Halifax hero, And it was at Halifax that a munitions ship explosion in the World war killed 2,000 and left 10,000 homeless. 'Greatest' Fighting Plane Is Announced by Britain LONDON.?Britain's new fighter airplane, the Typhoon, was described as "the greatest fighting^ instrument ever put into the air." Performance figures of the Ty-' phoon were disclosed as it was revealed that the successor to the Spitfire and Hurricane fighters was in mass production. The plane is a single seater with mixed machine gun and air cannon armament. It flies more than 400 miles an hour with a 2,400 horsepower Sabre engine. Its ceiling is said to be higher than anything the German air force has put into action. 'Ugly Duckling' Ships To Float Ahead of Time WASHINGTON.?Its vast emergency ship construction program is "well ahead of schedule," the Maritime commission reported and ships will go down the ways in November, j a full month ahead of contract 1 dates. The emergency program, distinct from the commission's long-range construction program, calls for 412 vessels, most of them to be built in newly established yards, but informed sources predicted the program might be increased to provide additional tonnage for this country and Great Britain.
