Pliable Paint. The Glidden Co. brought out a new industrial enamel with a silicone-resin base, which can be bent, twisted and hammered without marring.

...Hashish (from the Arabic word for dried herb), a narcotic made from the resin of female flowers of Indian hemp, is the Eastern version of marijuana.

The gun is necessary because the reaction will only take place when paint and catalyst meet at the moment of application. Price...
Through a non-wettable plastic tube, which avoids damage to delicate formed elements, heretofore caused by collecting with glass or rubber tubing, the blood flows into a column of resinous beads (called an ion exchange column). Here calcium is removed to prevent clotting. On this resin are collected platelets, tiny disk-like formed elements of the blood which initiate the clotting process, obtained in this machinery for the first time in substantial yield...
...method, the blood collecting bottle is eliminated. The blood flows directly over an exchange resin which removes calcium from the blood and thus prevents clotting. Then it passes through a heat exchange until (to reduce temperature) and into a small continuous centrifuge in which the plasma is separated from the red cells. After further separation, the solutions are frozen and sterilized by cathode rays...
