...fast, non-smudge printing, various means have been devised to make ink dry almost instantly when it hits the paper-absorption, evaporation, oxidation, polymerization (molecular clustering). In the "flash-dry" process, the newly printed paper passes between jets of flame and the liquid part of the ink ignites with a flash, leaving a dry residue. The June Technology Review (M. I. T.) describes a new "frozen" ink for porous papers like newsprint. The ink is solid at room temperature. It is fed like lumps of coal into the press, which heats it to fluidity, at 200° F. On reaching...
...eaten away by cancer, cannot always have new ones made of flesh-&-blood grafts. At the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Arthur H. Bulbulian, a trained sculptor, molds artificial noses and ears so rosy and translucent that only an eagle eye can spot them as fakes. Dr. Bulbulian uses "prevulcanized liquid latex," a creamy rubber compound, which can be tinted delicately before it hardens...
...Bulbulian takes pride in matching flesh tints, in decorating his noses with tiny pores and wrinkles. Both noses and ears are glued on with a liquid adhesive made of mastic gum dissolved in chloroform or benzene. Like false teeth, false noses and ears must be doffed at night...
...last week Gang Busters faced a foe that got them down. Convinced that Gang Busters might be catching crooks but were not selling Cue, the liquid dentifrice, Benton & Bowles, acting for Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, decided not to renew their contract. Still shooting, still with their boots on, Gang Busters vacated the air waves, waited for Phillips H. Lord, their entrepreneur, to send them out on a new crusade...
...zero. The scheme: liquefaction. Against next winter's peak demand. East Ohio will next fall compress natural gas under 600 pounds of pressure, liquefy it by cooling at 250° F. below zero, pour it into insulated sphericals. In the three tanks, Utilitarian Gallagher will have the liquid equivalent of 150,000,000 cubic feet, compressed to 1/600 its gaseous volume. Heated by steam, the liquid will again vaporize and go out through East Ohio's mains next winter...
