...inner brain can now be X-rayed accurately. The new process, by which a mixture of gelatine and an iodine compound is injected directly into cavities of the brain, was reported last week at Manhattan's Academy of Medicine by Drs. Harold H. Lefft and John Arthur MacLean Jr. of New York Post-Graduate Hospital...
Last spring, young Dr. Lefft tried to find a natural body substance that would be harmless to the brain, make clear X-rays possible. After several tries, he hit on Di-odotryosine, a white odorless powder of an iodine compound normally found in the thyroid. Dr. Lefft mixed the powder with ordinary gelatine, tried it first on cats and dogs. Later he and Dr. MacLean used it on 44 patients with excellent results. The new substance, said Dr. Lefft, can also be used for X-rays of lungs, uterus, other abdominal organs...
...plane (in its plastics, paint & varnish, degreasing chemicals, rubber, some alloys). The new process, announced by Chemical Engineers Arthur Warren Hixson and Alvan Howard Tenney of Columbia University: sulfur, through burning and catalysis, is changed to sulfur trioxide gas which is then infiltrated through common salt. The resulting compound (sodium chlorosulfinate) is decomposed by heat to produce salt cake (sodium sulfate) and chlorine. Salt cake, of which the U.S. has imported 40% of its supplies from Germany, is vital in the paper, glass and heavy chemical industries...
...victory rests on the unanimous support of the students as well as the other members of the University.

A retreader's equipment: 5- $6,000 worth of molds and buffing machinery. Chief material: camelback, an uncured rubber compound of the same ingredients that go into new tires...
