For example, a clothespin can be substituted for a $28 monometer, it can be used as an ordinary clamp, and can also take the place of a pressure gauge. By replacing ethyl alcohol with a less expensive chemical that has a higher boiling point, Fieser has found a way to reduce one reaction from 24 hours to five minutes...

Papers, articles, and published books comprising 123 pages of bibliography in the Society's book have been the concrete fruit of the Junior Fellows' efforts.

Books have varied as widely, discussing everything from the Earl of Rochester's poetry to the financing of New York City...
...some other diseases. The biggest trouble was that the liver fractions Dr. Penn obtained were too variable, and other medical men could not duplicate his results. Then a team of U.C.L.A. researchers joined Dr. Penn, broadened the attack and succeeded in making from bile acid a chemical called ethyl choledienate. Uniform and more stable than the liver fraction, it reacts the same way with blood samples. By now, Dr. Dowdy reported, 10,000 subjects have been tested, with these encouraging results...
...chemical investment to date. From natural gas, the plant each year will pour out 20% of the nation's supply of synthetic alcohol, used in hundreds of products ranging from synthetic rubber and explosives to photographic film and DDT; 200 million lbs. of ethylene; 50 million Ibs. of ethyl chloride, for tetraethyl lead in high-octane aviation gasoline; 140,000 tons of sulphuric acid. In addition, Tuscola will soon have a $7,000,000 ammonia plant and a $14.5 million plant for producing polyethylene, the tough, flexible plastic that goes into squeeze bottles, poker chips, etc. (TIME...
