...more than 8,000 volunteers poured into Red Cross Blood Donor Centers last week-and 2,000 lives that could not have been saved in World War I had a chance of being saved in World War II. For science has discovered how to store plasma, the life-giving liquid part of the blood: one pint of blood makes a pint of the plasma solution; four pints of plasma may mean the difference between life and death...
...fundamental "laws" of physics are being outrageously violated in laboratories by a liquid, helium II. This is ordinary helium reduced to 2.2 degrees above absolute zero (-273.18° C or -459.72° F). And physicists discussing this remarkable substance last week were delighted, for when a field of science is wholly reduced to law, scientists lose interest in it, long for unexplained phenomena to puzzle over...
...liquid, it is more fluid even than hydrogen gas. It will flow freely through the most infinitesimal cracks and pores in containers, between two face-to-face surfaces of optical glass...
...smells like geraniums and is a blistering gas, the blisters appear about 15 minutes after the dark brown liquid has touched the victim. If the blisters are broken immediately, the arsenic will not be so likely to seep through the system, and will not do so much harm." The ordinary gas mask, which may be distributed to all civilians, eliminates the gas with ease, but no ordinary clothing will protect the wearer. Oil cloth or especially treated cloth will keep the gas from the body," Major Johnson said...
...waiting on the field for propellers; Bell Aircraft waited weeks for Allison engines and 37-mm. aerial cannon; Lockheed for flight instruments. Such disbalances are mostly defects of organization, not materials, and are cured by experience. Output of air-cooled radial engines is now well ahead of schedule, and liquid-cooled production is stepping up fast...
