...Louisiana State University campus. At L.S.U. stadium, where 10,000 assembled to watch the inaugural ceremonies, there was free food & drink for all-200,000 hot dogs, a quarter of a million buns, 8,000 gallons of buttermilk, a quarter of a million bottles of root beer, Coke and "red soda...
...gone at last from the flat water downstream, ships of many nations furrowed the glacier-carved Saguenay. Inbound, most of them carried cargoes of orange-colored bauxite (aluminum ore) from British Guiana. A few were laden to the Plimsoll mark with cryolite from Greenland, fluorspar from Newfoundland, pitch and coke from the U.S. At Port Alfred on Ha! Ha! Bay,? fine ores were loaded into railroad cars for a 20-mile journey beyond the deep water. The freighters were reloaded with aluminum, in ingots or billets, for the industry of Canada and foreign lands...
...past is very much a part of Billings and Stover. One wall is lined with duplicates of every prescription filled since 1854, and pictures of the namesakes are over the door. The past also saw a prosperous soda business, and barrels of coke syrup were stored in the basement, alongside other essential philtres. A new fountain was installed in 1908, the first soda shop in the Square. But the owners made little concession to the straw-sucking customers, for no stools stood in front of the fountain, and soda and candy were primarily a sideline. Two years ago, the prescription...
Steel manufacturers know that sulphur (an undesirable impurity) gets into steel from the coal used as fuel. But there are two types of sulphur in coal: organic and "pyritic" (iron sulphide). Republic Steel Corp. wanted to know whether either type is driven off when the coal is made into coke. There was no handy chemical way to find out, but the Little Co.'s scientists worked out a tracer technique that did the job quickly and easily...
They made a small amount of pyrites containing radioactive sulphur and mixed it with a coke-oven charge of coal. They roasted the coal and measured the radioactivity of the sulphur remaining in the coke. A very low level of radioactivity would indicate that most of the pyritic sulphur had been driven off, taking with it the radioactive tags. A higher level would show that the organic sulphur had been eliminated, leaving behind the pyritic sulphur. Actually, the radioactivity of the sulphur fell between the two extremes, showing that both forms of sulphur stay behind in the coke. The experiment...
