...from one Harold Glendenning, Rhodes scholar, son of a mail carrier (TIME, June 7). The former Margarette du Pont, daughter of Irenée du Pont (onetime President of E.. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.-explosives, industrial chemicals) is now married to one C. H. Greenwalt, Philadelphia chemist. (TIME, June...
...Dayton, Ohio, last fortnight, Chemist C. F. Adams claimed to have converted hydrogen into helium by a process analogous to that by which he and others claim the transmutation of mercury into gold?bombarding the atoms with electricity. If practicable on a large scale, this process would greatly facilitate the preparation of helium for airship bags. It is now obtained chiefly by difficult fractional distillation of the inert gases found in certain metallic ores and in the natural gas wells and mineral springs of Kansas, Texas and the Pyrenees...

Dr. Brouzet (Sur I'education medecinale des enfants) thought so poorly of human mothers that he wished the state to interfere and keep them from suckling their young lest they communicate immorality and disease. The chemist Van Helmont called milk "brute food" and wanted to substitute for it bread boiled in beer and honey. Substitutes for mother's milk have been made from cow's milk mixed with soft water, lactose ("sugar of milk") and phosphate of lime. This a vigorous newborn child can assimilate...
...reduced his original 400 pounds of rare earth ores in his search. Scientists hailed him, particularly his countrymen. Though laboratories throughout the world are constantly searching for the remaining unknown elements, no other elemental discovery has been made since Hafnium, No. 72, in 1923, at Copenhagen, by Chemists Coster and Hevesy. And never before has a new element been first discovered in a U. S. laboratory. It may well mean for Dr. Hopkins, they said, the $40,000 Nobel chemistry prize in 1926, an honor won by no other U. S. chemist save Professor Theodore Richards in 1914 for work...
