IMPERIAL CHEMICALS TO GET DEAD SEA CONCESSION. U. S. HEARS.

The statement made by the Chemical Division of the Department of Commerce reads.

“In is reported that the Colonial Office last denied to grant to Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., the concession for the development of the mineral resources of the Dead Sea in Palestine. It is stated that while the contract has not actually been signed it has been definitely decided to grant the concession to this company, which will organize a subsidiary concern to work the concession. Somewhat similar reports have been published in the press from time to time in remain weeks, and it is possible that this also may be a premature report, but there seems little doubt in British chemical circles that the concession will ultimately begranted to this group.”

A central purchasing information ## to test economies that may be effected through analytical buying has been established by the New York Federation by Sol E. Stroock, president of the Federation.

The bureau is being established under the direction of a special purchasing committee, with David A. Ansbacher as chariman. It will be tried out for a period of six months and if efficiency is proved it will be made a permanent adjunet of the Federation.

F. J. Schillink, who with Stuart Chase, is the author of “Four Money’s Worth.” has agreed to act in an advisory capacity as consulting engineer and it is hoped that the new bureau will lead to important changes in the program for the purchasing of supplies by the minety-one hospitals, orphanages and other institutions in the Federation.
