W H E N man aspires to know it all lie turns to Research, He ma ν have little on the hall Yet still it's Research; He trio out messes in a still, Applit s the heat, and waits until It all turns out for good or ill. And calls it Research. They cast men in a different mold To follow Research, They won't believe what they are told, These men of Research; And so they sit with vacant looks, Or delve for days in dusty books To hang new atoms on the hooks Of Research. A well-worn pathway to the dump Leads out Ir'un Research, Full many a d. ,*b and useless lump Is charged to Research ; But now and then a sudden flash Discerns a gem amid the trash, A product new (and further cash) For Research. We pull no rabbits from the hat In Research, There's rather more to it than that— This Research; Long years of patient toil and sweat, A dash of brains—and don't forget We've hardly more than started yet With Research. - W A L T RUGEN

Lack of Machinery Hampers Manchukuo Industry F O R lack of special machinery ordered in Germany and not purchasable from the United States because Manchukuo lacks necessary foreign exchange, no progress was made toward completion of projected heavy industrial plants in the first quarter of 1940. However, some concessions to Japan were reported to have been made by England with regard to German deliveries to Manchukuo begun prior to the outbreak of the war, and some relief may be forth coming to the numerous half-finished plants. One big state enterprise in par ticular, the Manchuria Sulfate of Am monia Industry Co., formed in 1938 with 50 million yen capital supplied fifty-fifty by Manchukuo and village collectives in Japan to produce and sell at cost chemical fertilizers to Japanese farmers, was re ported to be planning to dissolve in view of the uncertainty of ever getting beyond the blueprint stage.
Soviet Produces Calcium Carbide without Electric Furnace OOVIET
NITROGEN
INSTITUTE
reports
that it has succeeded in producing calcium carbide in a large pilot plant without the use of the electric furnace. No details are available other than a statement indi cating that ordinary blast furnaces are suitable for the production of calcium car bide with a by-product of high-grade ferrosilicon and a fuel gas suitable for am monia synthesis, methanol, or synthetic motor fuels. It is alleged that the oper ating cost for the new carbide process is considerably lower than that of the con ventional method.
Lemongrau Grown Wild in Guatemala LEMONGRASS grows wild in many sec tions of Guatemala, and there is one plan tation devoted to the cultivation of citronella, according to a report from the Com mercial Attaché, Guatemala. Two firms art- engaged in the extraction of these oils. One firm extracts both lemongrass and citronella and is said to have commets covering its entire output. The other, relatively small, expresses lemongrass only, and likewise has contracts covering its production.
