...mezzanine floor holds the departmental offices of Government and Economics. Then above this, there is a floor devoted to offices and seminar rooms. These rooms are going to be so arranged that all the work connected with any one particular course will be done in one place. The offices of the leaders of these seminars will be placed directly opposite each room...
...proof of this assumption, Professor Sorokin has done a good service in freeing the public from its incorrect conception of detective methods, gleaned from pulp magazines. His description of Holmes' methods might be opened to technical discussion, however, for Sherlock often tracked the criminal to his lair by identifying bits of fallen hair, bloodstains, and mysterious footprints...
Most present oil refining is done by thermal cracking-breaking crude oil's heavy molecules into lighter components by great pressure and heat. This process yields only 44% gasoline (the money-making product), leaves refiners with a great bulk of fuel oil and other by-products to dispose of. Phillips Petroleum Co. has lately found a way to convert some of these by-products into gasoline-through polymerization, which compresses wasted gaseous fractions of crude oil into the heavier molecules of gasoline...
...squeezed every drop of gasoline they could from the crude. Up went the heat to 900°. Pressure was applied. And as still men and panel men anxiously watched the gauges, the vaporized residuum was forced through the macaroni-shaped catalyst of silica and alumina. When 11-4 had done its work, yield sheets showed that the waste oil had given 7,200 barrels of gasoline. Furthermore, the gasoline had an octane (antiknock) rating of 81, compared with the octane-60 which average crudes yield under present processes...
...When Congress sets the goals of farm prices and farm incomes at figures far above current economic normals, as it has done, it not only creates insoluble problems. It also forces the adoption of drastic measures certain to fall short of the goal, which in turn create fresh, complicated problems of solution. No one has yet seriously proposed that measures to regulate acreage, farming procedures, production, and marketing be reinforced by regulation of the entrance to and exit from farming, but these are logical further steps in the tightening web of regimentation...
