Yes, Wyandotte is rushing its$25,000,000 expansion program to provide more of the chemicals you need DON'T let these pictures fool y o u ! T h e y were taken early last July —and we've b e e n mow-*r fast since then. We're going FULL SPEED AHEAD on o u r h u g e e x p a n s i o n program to p r o d u c e more alkalies, more chlorine, synthetic detergents and glycol products. It's a big j o b — b u t it's moving right along. T h e tremendous demand for some Wyandotte Chemi­ cals still exceeds o u r production. But the day i s c o m i n g w h e n we'll have e n o u g h of everything for everybody. Meanwhile, we're allocating t h e available supplies as fairly as we know h o w . Why not l e t u s know your needs? We'll do o u r best t o fill them.

O T S Reports Copies of the following reports can be obtained at the prices indicated from the Office of Technical Services, Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C. Orders sliould be accompanied by check or money order, payable to the Treasurer of the United States. The details of German textile develop­ ments designed to increase the strength of viscose fibers, to spin two fiber substances simultaneously and t o dehydrate moist synthetic fibers, are now available to the American textile industry. The Germans claim to have produced synthetic fibers with increased dry and wet strength by coagulating viscose in zinc-containing, weak acid baths, stretch­ ing the threads in a hot weak-acid bath and then decomposing them to cellulose hydrate. The baths, composed of 4 to 10% ammonium sulfate, sulfuric acid, and other commonly used salts, contain only 3 % zinc sulfate. The strength-increasing treatment produces fibers as strong as those treated with three or four times the quantity of zinc sulfate, reduces clogging

to holes in the spinnerets, and increases the spinning periods. Stretching and decomposing the threads which consist partly of cellulose xanthogante are carried out in water at tempera­ tures in excess of 70° C. The weak-acid condition of the water is produced by the coagulating liquid which adheres to the thread or by adding 1% of acid to the bath. Two formulas and spinning direc­ tions for viscose containing 8% cellulose and 6.5% alkalies are included in the re­ port. Orders for translated copies of PB 31,528 (Process for Manufacturing Viscose Fibers of Increased Dry and Wet Strength; mimeographed, $10.50, 5 pages), P B 31,532 (Spinning with Double-Bottom Spinneret; mimeographed, $17.50, 9 pages) and PB 31,542 (Continuously Op­ erating Hydro-Extractor; mimeographed, $14, 6 pages) may be obtained from Re­ search.

The unit, with the exception of the starter control, is selfcontained in a housing only a little larger than that for a constant-speed motor of comparable rating. Remote speed control is said to be ac­ complished by use of a flexible cable shaft up to 10 feet away from the motor. For complete remote control, a small pilot motor can be used to drive the speed con­ trol mechanism.

Business and Financial News A dividend of 50 cents a share was voted by the Barber Asphalt Corp., payable Oct. I. The company paid 25 cents each in July and April. The board of directors, it is announced, intends that the 50-cent rate will become the regular quarterly rate. Butte Copper and Zinc Co. reported a net loss in the quarter to June 30 of $4,427 compared with a net lo§s of $1,862 in the like 1946 quarter. Consolidated Coppermine Corp. records show a net profit of $336,136, equal t o 21 cents a share, which compares with 13 cents a share in the like 1946 period. Crown-Zellerbach Corp. and its sub­ sidiaries had a net income of $4,824,205 in the three months ended on July 31, the first quarter of the corporation's current fiscal year. This is equivalent to $1.73 each on 2,502,657 shares of common stock­ ing outstanding. This compares with 87 cents a share on common shares in the corresponding period of last year. Diamond sales by the Diamond Trading Co. and Industrial Distributors, Ltd., will be considerably less this year than last. Last year's sales showed an increase of 21% over sales made during 1945, but practically all of them were, made during the first nine months of the year. At a meeting of the board of directors of The Dow Chemical Co. Aug. 27, divi­ VOLUME

dends as f- ilows were declared payable Oct. 15 on cumulative preferred stock, series A, $1.00 per share; second preferred stock, $0.677 per share; and common stock, $0.25 per share.

Industrial Rayon Corp. reported net earnings for the six months ended June 30 of $6,101,235, equal to $4.02 per share of common stock. This compares with $2.72 per share for the first half of 1946. Earn­ ings for the first half of 1947 included in­ come from the sale of patents equal to $0.72 per share. Second quarter earnings, exclusive of income from the sale of pat­ ents, amounted t o $1.70 per common share. This compares with $ 1.60 per com­ mon share for th© first quarter of 1947 and $1.29 for the second quarter of 1946. Kennecott popper Corp. reported for the six months ended June 30 a consolidated net profit of $46,086,826 after charges and taxes but before mine depletion. This is equal to $4.26 a share on the outstanding capital stock. A quarterly dividend of 37.5 cents on the common, payable on Oct. 15, was de­ clared by the Lion Oil Co. This is equiva­ lent to 75 cents a share on the old stock, which was split two for one. The board of directors of Sterling Drug, Inc., declared a regular quarterly dividend of 87.5 cents per share on the 3.5% pre­ ferred stock, payable Oct. 1. Stewart-Warner Corp. sales for the first six months of 1947 totaled $40,178,000, 71% above the same 1946 period. This is equal to $1.05 on common. Texas Co. stockholders were given the rights to subscribe to one new share of capital stock for each five shares Sept. 17. The subscription price and uses of the pro­ ceeds from the new issue, will be announced when the warrants are mailed.

The preferred dividend is payable Sept. 30, and the com­ mon dividend is payable Sept. 27. Warren K . Lewis (Continued from page 2814) Chemists' Association, the Chemists' Club of New York, the Engineers1 Club of Boston, and the National Academy of Sciences. H e is an honorary member of the Institute of Chemical Engineers (Brit­ ish). This year Princeton University bestowed upon him the honorary doctor­ ate degree. He was recipient of the Perkin Medal in 1936. An intimate of Lewis states that while the doctor cherishes the honors which have been bestowed upon hixn, >>i« greatest pride comes from the achievements of men who have studied aad worked under him. "Doc"—as Lewis is known t o hie associates—is fond of hiking and habit­ ually takes a long brisk walk after lunch and after dinner. A favorite vacation pastime is mountain climbing, especially in the company of his grown-up children. Lewis was married in 1909 t o Rosalind Denny Kenway. They have four children and two grandchildren, and live on Lom­ bard St., Newton, Mass., not far from the scene of his boyhood chores. Doc and Mrs. Ijewis took two English children into their home for the duration of the war. He has served as a deacon in his church, and for many years has taught a Sunday school class of boys. As a token of affection, one of the classes pre­ sented their "Doc" a 20-inch slide rule. 2865
