Kodakman George Eastman had some guests-Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Fairfield Osborn, Michael I. Pupin, General John J. Pershing, Owen D. Young and many another bigwig-at his home in Rochester, N. Y., last week. He showed them some motion pictures in color. He told them how simple the process was. Years of complicated experiments have gone into developing the Kodacolor film, minutes of mechanical adjustment are enough to operate it. Color photography is still imperfect; not all the primary colors can be made to go into the eye of a camera and come out lifelike but such...

...week after long research with chemists of the Intercontinental Rubber Co. This company (Charles Hamilton Sabin, chairman of the Guaranty Trust Co., is also its chairman) has been cultivating this shrub (the only shrub that so far has been commercialized) in Mexico, California, South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi. Thomas Alva Edison has an experimental farm in Florida. Others work in Texas. The shrub thrives in arid regions, and can be cultivated and harvested by machines. Last year guayule shrubs yielded 5,000 tons of usable rubber. But the U. S. needed 400,000 tons. The balance came from trees abroad...

Last week Professor Alva Raymond Davis of the division of agricultural chemistry and Professor Dennis Robert Hoagland of the division of plant nutrition, University of California, pronounced the wheat mature. Not only mature, but superior in every way to its more conservative cousins which had spent five months growing in the old-fashioned way. Many have been the experiments in speeding up the growth of wheat, but never has the crop been of such quality, the time so short. The professors give the credit to the length of the light period. The lights were turned on for the most part...
