BEAN SUITS, WHALE STEAKS — SCIENCE MARCHES FORWARD Dollar suits from soy beans, synthe- tic rubber from tomato peel, cloth from the bark of the mulberry tree, roads paved with molasses, roofing materials in comouflage colors, whale as an article of diet, colored asphalt, gold-plated silk fabric, an artificial silk made of rosin. These are only a few of the 1938 accomplishments of industrial re- search, here and abroad, as reviewed by Dr. W. A. Hamor, assistant direc- tor of Mellon Institute, for the Amer- ican Chemical Society. The review ap- pears in the current issue of the So- ciety’s publication. Dr. Hamor states that “the year has been exceptionally productive al- most everywhere.” His review indi- cates that the search for new materials and processes has been exceptionally active in Germany, Italy and Japan. The soy bean suit is a Japanese developement. The dollar cost of the suit covers only the cost of the cloth, but hat is cheap.

It is a change within the cell itself, | It is probably a disturbance of the | inracellular chemical balance. i This disturbance causes the cell to grow and multiply without considera- tion for its function nor for its anat- | omic boundaries. The cancerous cell is able to flour- ish on less oxygen than is needed to maintain the life of the normal cell. Two factors are known to be neces- sary to produce experimental cancer.

EMPLOYEES AWARDED CERTIFICATES FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION Employees of the Pennsylvania Ed- ison Company, who during 1938 exper- ienced no accidents resulting in lost time, were awarded honor certificates at the safety meetings held during the month of January. A special honor certificate was also awarded to those departments and di- visions of the company whose respect- ive employees aid not experience a lost time accident in 1938. A few mon- ths ago the employees of the company were the recipients of trophies award- ed by the National Safety Council and the Pennsylvania Electric Association for outstanding safely records during a twelve month contest period. These awards have proved quite an inspira- | tion to the employees of the company and it is hoped that the results in 1939 will permit the employees of the i company to again win the same two ! contests. BITUMINOUS HEARING PLANNED JANUARY 31 Washington.—The Coal Commission has announced it will conduct a hear- ing January 31st on proposed rules governing soft coal distributors who allow discounts and price allowances from bituminous coal producers. Under the Bituminous Coal Act the commission is authorized to prescribe the maximum discounts and price al- lowances producers may make for such distributors as farmers’ coopera- tives. A parallel hearing on discounts and price allowances, however, has been in recess.
