The Butyl Corporation, with a capital of $2,000,0(30, is to es tablish a plant at Peoria, 111. The company has signed a leasepurchase contract with t h e American Milling Company of Pe oria for the Corning distillery plant which has a ten-acre tract of land and fourteen deep wells. The estimated output of the plant is 2,000,000 pounds of butyl alcohol a month. T h e in corporators are Henry V. Walker, president; A. G. Heidrich, secretary; D. H . Berthard, G. J. Jobst, H. G. Atwood, and F. T. Miller, general counsel. The plant of the Butterworth Judson Corporation in Newark, N. J., will be offered at absolute auction at noon on January 21. This plant, which was built during the war for the primary pur pose of producing picric acid and which was later operated for the production of dyestuffs and heavy acids, occupies a n area of some 77 acres and has a frontage of 1700 feet on the Passaic River and Newark Bay. Included in it is an operating sulfuric acid plant, in addition to many manufacturing buildings. Bids will be received for the plant first in nine separate parcels and then as a whole. Efforts of the receivers for the corporation to operate it for the production of dyestuffs have resulted in failure and led to its sale. Joseph P. Day, N e w York, is the auctioneer. A device for storing material in warehouse by means of which it is possible to utilize all space between floor and ceiling and which is practically automatic in action is being marketed by Milton M. Mayer, 179 Ν. Dearborn Street, Chicago. The device is adapted for handling goods in bales, boxes, or barrels. Foote Brothers Gear & Machine Co., Chicago, announces the appointment of F. Somers Peterson Co., San Francisco, and the Thomas Machinery Co., Los Angeles, as its agents for northern and southern California, respectively. Other offices of the company on the Pacific Coast are located at Seattle and Van couver. The company specializes in the manufacture of speed reduction gears. The American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages will meet in Kansas City, Mo., October 19 t o 23, 1925.

Balke Addresses Chicago Section The Chicago Section was addressed by C. W. Balke on "Metallic Tantalum" at its December meeting. Dr. Balke is chemical director for the Fansteel Products Company. H e rapidly sketched the history, and the chemical and physical properties of the element, and followed with a detailed account of the development of an industry of considerable importance built around it. In spite of the wintry weather and the holiday rush, ninety-five people were present a t the dinner preceding the meeting. Unprecedented increases in the use of gas for industrial heating purposes are said t o account for the fact that 405 billion cubic feet of manufactured gas were sold during 1924 as compared with 385 billion cubic feet in 1923, according to a statement by the American Gas Association. Industrial use of gas has jumped 1000 per cent during the past ten years and there are now over ten million users of gas for all purposes.

The Missouri Section of t h e American Chemical Society has been very fortunate in its speakers for the past few meetings. I t does not often have an opportunity to listen to as many speakers from other parts of the country as i t has been able to have lately. The speaker for the October meeting was Dr. Roger Adams who talked on "Recent Developments i n Catalysis." In November, Dr. Baekeland stopped in Columbia on his trip around the country. H e gave his address, "Misdirected Bfforts" a t that time. Following his talk D r . Baekeland was entertained a t the University Club by the section. A t this time many members of the faculty, other than those o n the staff of the Chemistry Department, had an opportunity t o meet Dr. Baeke land. The annual meeting for the election of officers was held Decem ber 11 and the following were dected for t h e next year: Chair man, H . D. Hooker, Jr. ; Vice-Chairman, Η. Κ. French; Secretary, R. Bradfield; Treasurer, M. V. Dover; Councilor, H. Schlundt. Following the election, t h e section had i t s annual dinner to -which were invited the wives of the members. I n addition to the local members, several students and faculty members of the Missouri School of M!ines a t Rolla, Missouri, -were present. Among these w a s Dr. W. D .
