FOSTER THINKS. ROANOKE, VA., Aug. 24. That the European war will favor the de velopment of manufacturing chemi cal industries in this country, is the belief of Dr. VV. Brownley Foster, health officer of Roanoke, formerly of Richmond. Dr. Foster thinks that the lack of imports from Germany will have the effect of inducing American chemists and makers of labratory apparatus to develop the industry to a higher stage of efficiency. As it is now American surgeons, labratories and hospitals require many standard products needed in their work, which are made in Ger many. "I can't say that the war has ma terially affected me so far," remark ed Dr. Foster today. "I made an order for supplies about August 1st. This requisition included two chemi cals made in Germany. One was a rare sugar, known as Dulcite, used in examinations for identifying bac teria; the other was a dye, Azur by name, used in malarial investigations. The people with whom I placed my order were unable at first to send me the Dulcite, but a few days ago I received it. The dye I have never received. "I also ordered some glass pipettes that I needed. My requisition asked for twenty-five of these -useful little instruments. I received. Only , fifteen. Practically, all labratories use whatt is known as the Jena glass, manufao tured in Germany. This is: the best- glass known to. the medical profession: for scientific work. Its value is found n its resistance to neat; and itt is made for very acurate work.'-: ) BISHOP ROBERT STRANGE BELOVED DIVINE FELL PEACE " FULLY TO SLEEP SUN DAY AFTERNOON. WILMINGTON Aug. 24.
