Dye-Making Industry Difficult to Master Adolph Junck, the millionaire former for-mer brewer of San Francisco, said on disembarking from the Leviathan In New York : "The bottom has fallen out of the English home-made dye boom and many large fortunes have been lost. The English thought that with a few stolen German recipes they could rival ri-val the German dye Industry. Well, it wasn't so easy." Mr. Junck drew a trade paper from his pocket. "German dye-making Is difllcult and complicated," he said. "If you don't believe it, listen to this: And he read from the trade paper: " 'Betaamidonlizarin Is the reduction reduc-tion of one of the oldest alizarin colors known, namely, alizarin orange, which chemically is nitro-alizarin. When be-taamldoanthraquinone be-taamldoanthraquinone Is subjected to the Identical reaction which produced from anthraquinoue- sulphonic acid the Erst synthetic anzarin that is, melting melt-ing of the product with caustic alkali at high temperature a dihydroan-thraquinoneazine dihydroan-thraquinoneazine is obtained.'"
