...Edward R. Squibb, U. S. Navy surgeon, left the service and set up in a small way as a manufacturing chemist. It was just the right time. The Civil War, a big boom for medicaments, was only two years ahead. So the business went along prosperously, and at the age of 47 (in 1905) was incorporated as E. R. Squibb & Sons. Since then there has been another big boom for medicaments, the World War, which won the company not only profit but an award from the U. S. for distinguished service. That things have not been going backward since...
...happy man last week was Chaim Weizmann, goateed London chemist, president of the World Zionist Organization. Fortnight ago, when 322 delegates gathered in Zurich for the 16th biennial Zionist congress, he was less happy. For he was the appointed spokesman of a great project and in the bearded assemblage he saw many a gleaming, antagonistic eye. The project (in motion for six years) was the foundation of an All-Jewish Union, embracing both Zionists and non-Zionists, for the upbuilding of Palestine.

...molecules of gasoline. From two gallons of gas oil and fuel oil so treated, approximately one gallon of gasoline could be produced. This breaking down or splitting of the molecules was called cracking. The cracking process was first (1910) commercially perfected by William M. Burton, Standard Oil of Indiana chemist.

Other processes followed and the petroleum industry found itself in the midst of patent infringement litigation featured 'by a Texas v. Standard of Indiana suit...

Their selection will depend upon state committees of chemical companies and educators, and upon their "health, ability to cooperate, creative ability, intellectual honesty, persistency, faculty of observation, enthusiasm, initiative, reliability, conduct, morality, scholarship." The aim: to produce younger and better chemists. The chair which Chemist Gordon occupies at Johns Hopkins was given by Manhattan Lawyer Francis Patrick Garvan, chairman of the Johns Hopkins Chemical Foundation, onetime (1900-10) Assistant Attorney General of the U. S. He, no chemist, was last week given a medal by the American Chemical Society for being...
...Hugh Farrell. The German chemical "invasion" of U. S. territory took the form of the incorporation of American I. G. Chemical Corp. as a Delaware affiliate of I. G. Farbenindustrie Aktiengesellschaft of Frankfort, commonly known as I. G. Dyes and loosely referred to as the German Dye Trust. When Chemist Carl Bosch, I. G. Dyes' president and Dr. Karl Düysberg, its Chairman, came to U. S. shores (TIME, April 1), only Vonly, the astute observer, suspected the object of their visit. And when, last week, the U. S. affiliate, with a distinguished German-American directorate, announced...
