Electroplating stout metals with aluminum was described at the Chicago Institute of the American Chemical Society last week. If the process should become practicable commercially, housewifery and industry will benefit by inestimable billions. Pots, pans, vats, machines exposed to corrosives will be protected by a skin of aluminum, metal highly resistant to mos.t acids and alkalies...
Professor Donald Babcock Keyes of the University of Illinois told the chemists at Chicago that the process is practicable. He invented it, although other scientists academic and industrial have worked on the problem and made reports in scientific journals. Professor Keyes' pronouncements always carry weight. Onetime (1924-26) director of research for the U. S. Industrial Alcohol Co., he is generally listed among the 175 leading chemists of the U. S. His assistant in the aluminum research was Dr. Sherlock Swan...
...spoiled this. 2) Property requirements The Negroes' post-slavery discovery of industry and thrift spoiled this. 3) The "Grandfather clause"-admitting to suffrage any man who voted in 1867 or before, or was one son or grandson of such a man. The practical effect, if not the technical process, of denying Negroes a share in the government is, of course, a violation of the 14th and 18th Amendments to the U. S. Constitution. It has become trite to point out the inconsistency of such nullification by citizens who prate about the sanctity of the 18th Amendment. Last week...
...Empire emergency. . . . His Majesty's Government in Great Britain will continue the policy of loan enabling any British workman to emigrate to the Dominions, providing that he has been assured a job there. . . . But something more is needed. Remember that it was not by a slow, restricted process of immigration, confined to guaranteed employment, that the Dominions were founded and began their splendid history. . . . Our British workpeople . . . who want to try their luck in the Dominions . . . want to use their skill in that spirit of adventure which stirred in the old pioneers. Yet the call for adventurers does...
Kodakman George Eastman had some guests-Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Fairfield Osborn, Michael I. Pupin, General John J. Pershing, Owen D. Young and many another bigwig-at his home in Rochester, N. Y., last week. He showed them some motion pictures in color. He told them how simple the process was. Years of complicated experiments have gone into developing the Kodacolor film, minutes of mechanical adjustment are enough to operate it. Color photography is still imperfect; not all the primary colors can be made to go into the eye of a camera and come out lifelike but such...
