Last week 521 such chemical engineers assembled at Pierre Samuel du Font's, Wilmington, Del. to tell each other some major developments of their year...
...small sale and equally certain to cause wonder whether a grown man can really indulge seriously in the sort of humor peculiar to Cummings. If we may believe Laura Riding and Robert Graves, however, the punctuation and spelling characteristic of Cummings are not the delirium tremens of the type-font, but originate in a wholly grave effort to make himself understood, to fix the attention of "bad readers" on the passage before them. Contemplating what has been done to Shakspere's punctuation, so that the meaning of many Shaksperian passages is often wrenched, Cummings was moved to adopt a system...
...McCarroll, foreseeing industrial uses of soy beans, got Mr. Ford to plant 10,000 acres to soy beans last year, 30,000 this year. From soy bean oil Mr. McCarroll's assistants make lacquer for Ford motor cars. They claim that soy bean lacquer is better than du Font's Duco. From meal which remains after oil is extracted from soy beans, Ford chemists make plastic parts for car bodies. Chemists are now working on bodies made of laminated sheet steel and soy bean plastic. All the equipment needed to process soy beans at a profit fits into...
...Damaging evidence for the defense was the testimony of Lammot du Font's cousin and brother-in-law, Francis I. du Pont, stockholder and director of Missouri-Kansas. Several "victims" of the Missouri-Kansas crash testified that they had bought the stock because salesmen told them the du Pont companies were backing Missouri-Kansas. Director du Pont emphatically declared that his dealings with Missouri-Kansas were entirely personal, that no oth er member of the family and no du Pont company was interested. There, said the prosecutor. Was that not clear proof that Frank Parish's salesmen...
...synthetic rubber which grew out of the Nieuwland researches is 40% chlorine, not an ingredient of natural rubber at all. At a chemistry symposium in Rochester, during the winter of 1925, Father Nieuwland read a paper on the formation of divinyl acetylene from acetylene and cuprous ammonium chloride. Du Font's Dr. Elmer K. Bolton was there, suspected that if the monovinyl could be similarly produced, artificial rubber was at hand. Acetylene, from common coke and lime, is cheap...
