WAR BRINGS BUSINESS
TO MANY IN ENGLAND.
Some People Change Occupation!* to
Ctilize the War.
LONDON, Mar. 22.—Men of busi
ness with a ready e» to changing
conditions have found that \>ar-time
offers many new roads to wealth, if
the opportunity is seized quicklv. Al
most every day since the war began
some alert British manufacturer or
trader 1>as found openings in some
new field.
The khaki boom, still at its height,
resulted in the sudden establishment
of huge factories ir. the heart of
London. Hundreds of young women
left good places in the jam and pickle
factories nearby for the work of mak
ing uniforms. Tailors, presses vho
were glad to earn $10 a week in norm
ul times are able tc take in three
times that sum at present.
A prominent hardware manufactur
er in Birmingham put his factory in
to the hands of a manager at the he
ginning fo the war and himself hur
n'ed to a nearby town and erected a
plant for the manufacture of emblems
and buttons. He has been making
these novelties in wartime designs by
the millions at a handsome profit.
A lithographer found a similar gold
mine by turning his entire plant over
to the printing of patriotic picture
postcards, while a struggling novel
! ty dealer put his business on its feet
by the sale of a hundred thousand of
acre sewing kits for soldiers.
Lesser successes have been achiev
! ed by the men who have murketed
such minor articles for soldiers use a s
a boot-bag. pipe lighter, and a patriot
ic brooch. Ar American traveler at
the beginning of the war chanced to
learn that the supply of cheap buttons
in England was precariously low, most
of the English supply having been im
ported from Austria: he took im
mense orders in behalf of an Ameri-j
can firm at prices presumably well
above the ordinary.
The war has brought a moderate
degree of prosperity to makers and
dealers in foods, clothing, medical
supplies, war munitions and an im
mense number of small articles re
quired by’ land or sea forces. Ship
builders and ship owners have scored
heavily, and the British farmer is get
ting unprecedented prices for his pro
I ducts. Even the dentists have had

BRITISH TO MANUFACTURE
THEIR OWN ANILINE DYES.
Has Been Dependent on Germany for
the Supply.
■■ii. i—mm
LONDON, March 18.—No official
statement has been issued regarding
the scheme for a national aniline dye
industry, but the committees have
been formed and a company organiza
tion mapped out.
The company, it is understood, will
be capitalized at 3,000,000 pounds
($15,000,000) on which the govern
ment will advance 1,500,000 pounds at
four percent interest, principal re
payable in 25 years. The interest and
sinking fund to repay the loan will
come out of the company’s profits,
and not touch the capital.
The stock is subscribed by textile
manufactures, the principal users of
i synthetic dyes, and by contracts bind
ing the users to purchase their sup
plies from the company for five years
after peace is declared. By that time,
it is believed that all the dyes needed
for home use, at least, will be British
made. Heretofore, Great Britain has
been almost as dependent on Germany
for aniline colors as the United States
is.
