...facts warrant. All it did was to publish on the 5th and 6th all it could get at the time; it was stale news after that. The fact is The Journal of the American Medical Association deserves all the credit for giving the "staggering blow" to the insane method of celebrating independence. It attacked the problem in the only scientific way. It waited the necessary time to get the end results; the number of deaths, especially from lockjaw which only time would get, the resulting blindness, the major and incapacitating bodily injuries, and so on. These were obtained by press...
Some of the 60 contestants (British. French, Spanish, Polish, one U. S.) voiced objection to the method of scoring, claimed undue weight was placed upon finicky technical tests. Britain's Capt. Hubert S. Broad finished the tour first, but was relegated to eighth place...
...several years, Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and I. G. Farbenindustrie, German chemical "trust," have been developing hydrogenation, a new process for oil refining. Last week, the method made its first commercial appearance with the opening of Standard Oil's new hydrogenation plant, first in the U. S., at Bayway...
...cracking process of today, added to the oldtime straight-run process, made possible a higher gasoline recovery from crude oil, so hydrogenation, supplementing these two methods, is expected to add to the efficiency of oil refining. Unlike the present method of oil refining, hydrogenation is a synthetic process. In the presence of a catalyst, hydrogen is combined with crude oil under heavy pressures, high temperatures. The combined influences of catalyst, pressure and heat cause the hydrogen and the hydrocarbon molecules to split. The hydrogen atoms immediately combine with the hydrocarbons, form the proper light oil arrangement. Hydrogenation makes possible...
Almost any quality or gravity of crude oil may be used as a base for obtaining gasoline. Should petroleum resources be depleted, factories using the new method may effectively use coal as a base by simply installing a machine for grinding the coal into a powder and a contrivance for removing ashes...
