Foreign and domestic capital poured in and sugar operations mushroomed to enormous proportions-80% of Cuba's entire industry. Sugar refineries, steaming night and day, burned anything they could lay their hands on, even green trees. Cuba's legislature passed a law allowing crude oil destined for the sugar industry to come in duty free, but the demand for fuel was insatiable and oil companies began to look into the old possibility of a big native supply from which pipe lines could be run directly to the refineries...
...have made a hit on other stages. Letter of Introduction thus serves as a vehicle for Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, who function simply as themselves. Ventriloquist Bergen introduces a rival to Charlie in the person of a dummy named Mortimer. Minute effigy of a country bumpkin, as hideous, crude and amiable as Charlie is tart, slick and natty, Mortimer chatters for only one sequence, after Charlie has taxed Edgar Bergen with ingratitude, but this is enough to enrage his predecessor. Says Charlie McCarthy: "This is the meanest trick you ever played on me. . . . I'll mow him down...
Gasoline was first made by distilling crude oil, then by the "casing-head process," next by "cracking," finally by hydrogenation. Cracking, of which hydrogenation is a continuation, consists of breaking down the molecular structure of heavy crude oil into a number of lighter, more salable derivatives such as kerosene and gasoline. Polymerization is the reverse; it takes the very lightweight, gaseous fractions of petroleum, which were formerly wasted or used only in restricted ways,* and through pressure, heat and catalytic agents builds them into heavier molecules for high-test (antiknock) gasoline...

For authentic fur-&-feather footage, Cinemad-venturer Clyde Elliott (Bring 'Em Back Alive) toted his cameras to Northern Malaya. Paramount sheared away most of what he brought back, brushed up a Booloo of its own, a crude hocus-pocus about a white tiger, worshiped by Sakai tribesmen and kept in good fur on a diet of maidens...
...nature thiamin appears abundantly in egg yolks, lean pork, crude molasses, peas and peanuts. It is found most abundantly in the germs of ripe grain. Millers discard such "hearts of wheat" to make white flour, causing Dr. Williams to cry: "Man commits a crime against nature when he eats the starch from the seed and throws away the mechanism necessary for the metabolism of that starch...
