What President Hotchkiss had read was the routine account of a transfer tax appraisal of the estate of Mrs. William B. Cogswell, widow of a rich Rensselaer alumnus who pioneered the Belgian Solvay chemical processes (soda products, coke) in the U. S., helped form giant Allied Chemical & Dye Corp. in 1920. Mr. Cogswell died in 1921, his wife last year in Manhattan. To her sisters, the middle-aged Misses Elizabeth and Florence Browning of Washington's Mayflower Hotel, the appraisal revealed that Mrs. Cogswell left a net estate of $4,266,548, plus two trust funds, each consisting...
Prontylin is the trade name for a dye which doctors call sulfanilamide. Chemists call it para-aminobenzenesulf onamide. How it kills gonococci is anyone's guess. Best guess is that it stimulates production of white blood corpuscles which in turn destroy the germs...
...answer. Most commercial moth repellents are fluorine compounds or cinchona alkaloids of the quinine family. At the Du Pont laboratory, experiments have been carried on with these and scores of other chemicals. What they hope to find eventually is a moth-killer which will impregnate a fabric like dye, will not be removed by washing or dry-cleaning. Moths eat almost any animal tissue-wool, silk, feathers, even leather and deer antlers. They will not, however, eat wool if it is completely sterile. Presumably impurities in the air and traces of perspiration provide spice enough under ordinary conditions...
...Levin's The Old Bunch (964 pages) gave wrist-weary readers another hefty handful. Aside from actual weight, however, The Old Bunch has less in common with its swollen sisters than with such half-starved gutter rats as James Farrell's Studs Lonigan. Realism of the cheapest dye, Author Levin's tale of Jews in Chicago is not so much a chronicle as chronic narrative. Gentile readers (goyische Lezer to Author Levin) may find themselves oppressed at times by the heavy, strident Jewishness of the book's atmosphere, but once under way most of them will...
...true that most of the southern mills have dropped back from their brief N.R.A. standards. The northern mills, in particular the American Woolen Company of Lawrence, the Perennial Dye and Print Works of Rhode Island, the Pequot and Newmarket Mills in Massachusetts, and the Nashua, and Pacific mills in New Hampshire, against all of which Lewis is gunning, are, how-ever, paying the highest wages in their history and operating on a forty-hour a week basis. These companies are not in strong enough positions, since the last really good textile year was 1927, to withstand labor troubles at this...
