Wheeler, professor of Organic Chemisry at the Univer sity of North Carolina, has dis covered three very, important dyes, the first to be discovered at this institution and probably the first in the: South, it became known here today. Although Dr. Wheeler has been conducting a series of experiments in his lab oratory for sometime with a view to the perfection of his tests, it i was not known until today, ex cept by a few close friends, that he had made such a valuable con tribution to science. Government examiners have as sured Dr. Wheeler that nothing stands in the way of patents be ing issued on the discovered dy es, pending which advice the lear ned scientist has keep the matter quiet. He also thinks that his claims for patents are broad e- nough to cover certain fields in which there is a certainty of dis covering several other important dyes. His discovery takes rank with the most important of the recent discoveries of science, and will lead to still great activity along this line, it is believed. In addition to the. three dyes already discovered, Dr. Wheeler is responsible for the statement that three more are already in sight of determination. Further significance is added to this most important discovery when the fact that relatively very few dyes have been discov ered in the United States is brought in for consideration, which situation is not only true of this country, but also of Eng land, France, and Switzerland, which, like America, were almost entirely dependent upon Ger many who led the world in the discovery of new dyes previous . to the war. gress. The message was read separate ly by the senate and house clerks without a joint session. The actual work on legislation began in the house today with a meeting of the appropriations committee.
