...distances ranging from 70 to 13 ft. At 50 ft. lung damage began to occur, and at less than 18 ft. almost all the animals were killed. He printed a photograph of a pair of concussed rabbit lungs so deeply suffused with hemorrhagic blood that they looked like raw liver...
Their other basic raw material is coke. With all by-product coke ovens working at capacity, many an oldfashioned, high-cost, beehive oven (once homes for the unemployed) was fired last week. Meanwhile the demand for coking coal outran the capacity of the steelmakers' "captive" mines, sent them into the commercial market. Result: the ailing soft-coal industry is headed toward 10,000,000 tons a week (its 1939 average: 7,800,000 tons a week), and many a factory manager began to think it might be a good idea to stack some extra coal in the yard just...
...proves to be the most savory ingredient in the mixture. It leads Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, two wildcatters, on an exciting chase from Oklahoma and the tropics, to California, from poverty to wealth, back to poverty more times than you can count. The details of a raw, booming oil town, Burkburnett, are interesting and well-handled: the oil fever, the gushers, the fires, and above all the incurable wildcatter, always sure that his ground covers oil, always looking for a partner who will stake him. When MGM sets out to tell what has been done about oil in this...
...still the No. i importer, but now it is also the No. 2 world pulp exporter, second only to Canada. Fortnight ago the Department of Commerce announced U. S. pulp exports in July hit an all-time high of 65,548 tons, nearly six times a year ago. Raw-materials Watchdog Stettinius added that full-year shipments would total 400,000 tons (mostly to the United Kingdom, Latin America and Japan), against 140,000 tons last year...
...earned $3.61 a common share in six months ended June 30 as against a deficit of $1.22 last year. But for the nonintegrated units ("converters," who buy their pulp), high pulp prices mean a tight squeeze. One integrated paperboard producer recently found he could sell unbleached kraft pulp, his raw material, for $61 a ton, while finished board, costing him $10 more to make than the pulp, was worth only $55 a ton. He therefore could make $16 a ton by closing his board plant, selling his pulp and buying board for his customers from a converter. The converter...
