Universal Oil Products. Only a financier as daring as Mr. Armour would have possessed 400 share's of that stock at the outset. He it was who, during a trip west in 1914, gathered together a few associates and formed the company (originally as National Hydro-Carbon Co.) to take over certain oil refining patents of Pennsylvania Inventor Jesse A. Dubbs. In 1916 Promoter Hiram J. Halle was made president. Halle's entire staff consisted of Jesse Dubbs, two assistants, and the two Dubbs sons, Carbon and C. A. No attempts were made to operate with the patents...
...Carbon. Technical name for the condensed oil is "hydro-carbonated vapors." Therefore Inventor Dubbs had named one of his sons "Carbon." When Son C. A. and Son Carbon worked together in Universal Oil Products, fellow-workers were confused, so Son Carbon took a middle initial, "P." They expanded it to "Petroleum."

Every body cell contains protoplasm, a gooey material like white of egg, one-fourth heavier than water. Protoplasm always contains at least twelve elements: calcium, carbon, chlorine, hydrogen, iron, magnesium, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur. The living combination of these is exceedingly complex. Best of chemists have been unable to decipher the protoplasmic interrelations. Could they do "so, they could make protoplasm in their laboratories...
