...Chemistry's brightest. Dr. Rice, who also studied at Caltech, is prodigious in his application of physical theories to chemical problems. His special work has been interpreting reactions between gases by means of quantum mechanics. He has also used modern theories of statistics to describe metals and electro-capillarity. The past year his researches have been devoted to finding out what happens to the energy contained in molecules of gases when the molecules break up. His present program is to determine the process by which molecular energy is transferred back & forth between molecules in a heated...

...this being true, Dr. Thomson proposes: "To organize an electro-magnetic 'hummer' which, at small expense of energy, can spread over a large space the peculiar hum, and attract the males; perhaps also repelling the females. Various ways of trapping the males may be suggested, as they need not be desiccated or cooked to get rid of them...
...ceremony last week. The medal is for "the American chemist who has most distinguished himself by his services to applied chemistry." In Dr. Burgess' case that refers to his showing factory managers that it pays to hire scholars. Twenty and more years ago he was professor of applied electro-chemistry and chemical engineering at the University of Wisconsin. Manufacturers hesitated to use his novel ideas concerning the electrolytic purification of iron, dry batteries, corrosion. He organized his own companies, his own industrial laboratory, quit the university. He now heads five corporations capitalized for $3,000,000, hiring...
Died. Lester Lonergan, 62, actor (Brass Ankle) who staged Abraham Lincoln, The Command to Love; of heart failure while-sitting on a porch with his wife at Lynn, Mass., discussing Eugene O'Neill's newtrilogy, Mourning Becomes Electro, in which he was to have played...
