...erected as a WPA project, the statue will cost $35,000, and weigh 65 tons. A new stainless alloy containing 2% white glass will be used for the sheets forming the statue. There will be an interior staircase, an observation platform in the Apostle of Humility's head, and on the too of his head will splash a drinking fountain and bath for the wild birds St. Francis loved...
...Chemical Co. produces a substantial per centage of all U. S. iodine. At Tulsa, Okla., Tampico, Mexico and other oil-producing areas subsidiaries process oil and gas wells to make them more productive. At Bay City, Mich., 18 mi. from Midland on Lake Huron, Dow now makes a magnesium alloy that is one-third lighter than aluminum and good for airplane and machinery parts. At Marquette, Mich., on Lake Superior, a subsidiary called Cliffs Dow Chemical Co., in which the parent company has a 60% interest, makes charcoal, combustible gases and acids from wood. Near Wilmington...
Progress and Advance are what U. S. railroads are now going in for heavily to resell the public train travel. The Century's two new cars marked Pullman Co.'s boldest innovation in design since the Pintsch gas era.

...physical sciences or for new and important combinations of principles or methods already known," as a result of work which had set him on the road to fortune, if not fame, 31 years ago. Mr. Marsh's profitable discovery was made in 1905. He fused a new alloy called Chromel-20% chromium, 80% nickel- which is still the only alloy or metal (except costly platinum) capable of offering prolonged electric resistance without burning out. Of this alloy or its variants are now made the wire elements which glow in electric stoves, heaters, curling irons, percolators, toasters, sterilizers, waffle irons...
...chemistry professor, he worked with the State Water Survey Office testing Illinois River water, later with Chicago Storage Battery Co., where he became interested in the heat resistant qualities of metal conductors. William Hoskins, a consulting chemist, let Marsh use his lab oratory after work to tinker with alloys, later took him into the firm of Mariner & Hoskins. That is where Chromel was born. Hoskins Co. was incorporated in 1908, marketing an electric furnace developed during the Chromel experimentations. Next year the company was moved from Chicago to Detroit. Hoskins dropped out in 1910, and Marsh was faced with...
