...liquid oxygen in his bomb was leaking into the air. A metal case would have held it, but the glmite had been put in a canvas bag so that there would be no flying fragments. Still no Senator Sheppard. Wailed Mr. Barlow: "It's seeping down through the carbon just like water...
...Stanford, Drs. Edward Lawrie Tatum and George Wells Beadle isolated in crystalline form one of two hormones by means of which Drosophila'?, genes control the fly's eye color. At Caltech, Dr. Arie Jan Haagen-Smit analyzed the hormone, found its molecule contained 21 atoms of carbon, 34 of hydrogen, two of nitrogen. 14 of oxygen. If the California scientists can follow up this first success by isolating and identifying the other eye-color hormone, they may cast a sudden brilliant light on how genes control heredity...
...brooms (with the possible exception of Lord Beaverbrook). He earned his job, the crucial one of gearing Britain's industries to war production, partly by lambasting his predecessor for inefficiency and corruption. Britain's steel industry is run by the Steel Control Committee, a semi-Governmental carbon copy of the British Iron & Steel Federation. It allocates production quotas among mills in Britain, most of which are old and technologically out of date. In sheet and tin-plate capacity, there is only one modern, high-speed, continuous mill installed in all Britain. But that mill is reported...
Until last year when Bakelite Corp. was added to the Union Carbide & Carbon empire, Dr. Baekeland used to visit his Manhattan office frequently. Now he is "fully retired" but far from inactive. A hale old man with a courtly old-world manner, he has never had time for politics or social affairs, but his talk betrays an encyclopedic knowledge of world events and history. He loves the sea and sailing, winters at the place in Cocoanut Grove, Fla. which he bought from the late William Jennings Bryan. He dives for sponges from his unpretentious yacht...
...Supercharger." Glycogen, a form of starch manufactured in the liver, is the substance which the body uses for quick energy. When glycogen is consumed, lactic acid is produced-mostly a waste product since a good part of it breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. But some lactic acid is reconverted into glycogen, which is then available for further energy release. Last week Dr. George Bogdan Kistiakowsky and five co-workers of Harvard compared this operation to that of a gasoline engine supercharger, which uses the energy of exhaust gases to pump air at high pressure into the firing cylinders...
