President Roosevelt appointed to help Dr. Armstrong, found that the occasional failures were due to faulty spraying. While he, with Assistants Dean H. Echols and Harry J. Richter experimented on methods of completely covering the olfactory nerve ends, Dr. Schultz, with help of Chemist L. P. Gebhardt, sought chemicals which might be more effective than alum. They decided on a solution of 1% zinc sulphate, 0.5% sodium chloride and 1% pontocaine, hydrochloride (a local anesthetic) in distilled water...
Tears mixed with ink often result in a sticky substance resembling treacle. Though the formula would not be recognized by a chemist, it is well known to some popular writers. And there is nothing so pleasing to some tastes as a good mouthful of treacle. Gene Stratton Porter was an expert at this mixture; so is A. S. M. Hutchinson. In Sorrel and Son Warwick Deeping had the formula just about right, but last week his latest novel showed that even specialists in sad-gladness cannot always hit the proper ratio, that too many sobs spoil the ink. Only...
...seldom covers the expenses of the publication. Advertisements are often of the sort not acceptable to the lay press. Manhattan's Catholic News, which bears the recommendation of Cardinal Hayes as "a friendly, newsy paper," carries the advertising of foot masseurs, $2 doctors, "a Gonzaga University Priest Chemist's" preparation for the hair. Our Sunday Visitor of Huntington. Ind., which is running a big religious picture contest similar to Old Gold's for a $2,000 grand prize, advertises such products as Mercolized Wax which "Brings Out Your Hidden Beauty...
...school was the lifetime dream of President-Emeritus Abbott Lawrence Lowell whose standard work on The Government of England laments the absence of a U. S. counterpart to the university-trained British Civil Service. After accepting the gift of Gloveman Littauer, who once sat in Congress (1897-1907), Chemist Conant appointed a steering committee headed by Princeton's public-spirited President Harold Willis Dodds to engage in a preliminary survey. Since March the committee has been conferring privately with Government bigwigs, including Secretaries Wallace and Morgenthau. These and similar "exploratory sessions" will be all the gradually assembling faculty...
There are two fundamental fields that are covered in these five courses--the detection and determination of the elements, and quantitative measurement of physical phenomena. Training in both of these is essential for either the chemist or the physicist, but the one fits obviously into the field of chemistry, the other into that of physics. As the two are well defined, might it not be possible to separate them into two one-year courses? They would both take at least 8 hours a week of laboratory work and would preferably not be taken simultaneously. The chemical course would...
