Manufacturers of chemicals and various other products who use acetate of lime in their processes, are being asked to answer a somewhat lengthy questionnaire which is being sent out to producers of acetate of lime under government direction. The questionnaire is the direct result of the recent action of the government in seizing the entire output of that commodity and which consumers will be able to obtain for their private uses only through a government permit. Inability of the government to obtain sufficient quantities of the acetate has led to this action, the material being vitally needed for the making of military explosives. American scientists have placed a new medical discovery a t the disposal of the Allies in Europe. It is expected that the new product, phenolsulfonephthalein, will be a vital factor in minimizing diseases among our troops in France. It is reported that the drug was discovered by the chief of the department o€ chemistry of Johns Hopkins University, and after tests in the physiological department and by the pharmacologists of that institution, was found to be the most efficient of all diagnostic agents for tracing defects in the functioning powers of the kidney. A plant for the manufacture of alcohol, to cost not less than $3,000,000, is in process of erection adjoining the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company plant, a t Luke, Md. The entire output is to go to the United States Government, which is furnishing the funds to build. I t is reported that a chemical plant costing $I,OOO,OOO is to be constructed by the Federal Government a t Mechanicsville, N. Y., to utilize the by-products of paper manufacturing plants of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company. The Government is to manufacture acetone, which is to be used to mix with varnish for coating aeroplane wings. It is reported that a Spanish firm is manufacturing wool from cork, which it is claimed may be substituted for natural wool in the manufacture of mattresses, pillows and quilts. The material is stated to be cleaner and lighter than wool. It is first treated with chemicals to remove any resinous substances and to render it flexible and less likely to break. The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter states that more sulfuric acid was produced in the United States in 1917 than in any previous year, and that a moderate estimate shows that the increase in the production of acids o€ all strengths in 1917 over that in 1gt6, stated in terms of 60' Be. acid, amounted to a t least 600,000 tons. According to advices from headquarters of the du Pont d e Nemours Powder Company, the production of potash at Columbus Marsh, Ney County, Nevada, is t o begin at once. Preliminary drillings on the marsh gave brines carrying 3'/* per cent soluble potash, and it is hoped to increase this by tapping the bottom of the prehistoric lake a t a depth of 4,000 f t .

The Great American Chemical Products Company, New York, N. Y., the company which is being formed by druggists throughout the country, has begun the operating of four preliminary plants in the Greater New York district, and will shortly operate two more, a t Buffalo and Bound Brook. Plans have been completed for the plant of the Collinwood Chemical Company, Collinwood, Tennessee, the new company which will manufacture alcohol and acetate of lime for the government. The plant will cost in the neighborhood of '$2,000,000 and will have a daily capacity of 2700 gals. of wood alcohol, 52,000 Ibs. of acetate of lime and 12,375 bushels of charcoal. The plant, which will be finished September I and will cover twenty-five acres, will produce a quantity of tar, creosote, wood preservative and wood oils, in addition to the alcohol, charcoal and acetate of lime. The product which the government will take is to be manufactured into war munitions. The big German dye factories at Ellesmere Port, on the Mersey River, England, were recently sold to Col. Brotherton, of Leeds, England. The concerns involved were the Badische Anilin und Sodafabrik, the Parbenfabriken vorm. Fr. Bayer & Company, and the Actiengesellschaft fur Anilinfabrikation of Berlin. The plant was built nine years ago to conform with the British patent laws and is described as presenting the most modern ideas in construction of a chemical works. It is ideally located for deep water transportation, ocean-going steamers being able to dock outside of the works. It conforms largely to the construction of similar works on the Rhine River in Germany. A resolution has been introduced in the House by Representative Mason, of Illinois, which will prove of interest to the chemists of the country, as it provides for an investigation to show whether chemical processes are being used to foist upon the country food that is without nutritive value. After citing these charges the resolution authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to make a full and complete investigation to cover the following subjects: First, what cereals are treated chemically or otherwise so as to deprive them of any of their food values before they are used in bread, biscuit, crackers, cake, pastry, and so forth. Second, what, if any, of the cereals that have been .treated chemically or otherwise in a manner to reduce their food values are ground in the mills of this country and mixed with wheat, corn, rye, barley, buckwheat, or other cereals before the same are sold to the consumer. Third, what, if any, of the by-products of the cereals are treated chemically or otherwise in a way to deprive them of their food value or in a way that makes their use deleterious to public health and are used in the manufacture of bread or other food products. Fourth, what, if any, mineral oils are being used as a substitute for animal fats and whether the use of such products is a fraud upon the consumer and whether the same is deleterious to the public health.

Turkey is developing its textile industry, and new textile plants aggregating a capital stock of $I,OOO,OOOhave been started there within the last few months. The Marden, Orth and Hastings Corporation, of New York, have acquired control of the Buttercup Oil and Car Company, Louisville, Ky. The latter is one of the largest producers of cottonseed oil in the country, and its already large and diversified output of such products will be increased by the new owners. In an address before the Delaware Section of the A. C. S. a t Wilmington, on February 8, Mr. C. M. Barton, vice president of the duPont Nitrate Company, stated that his concern has developed a process for extracting potash from nitrate ores and has made large profits from it. The Company is drawing on Chilean nitrate ores for the purpose and has communicated the process to allied interests producing nitrate ores in Chile, enabling them to increase their output of potash greatly. The recently organized Dyestuffs Association of America has appointed the following committee to consider the various points of tariff recommendations for a conference with the Gov-

Ault of the Auk & Wiborg Co., Cincinnati; and C. B. Althouse of the Althouse Chemical Co., Reading, Pa. At the suggestion of the War Trade Board, upwards of fifty representatives of the leading crushers and importers of castor oil and castor beans held a meeting in New York on January 12. The meeting was held for the purpose of forming an association to cooperate with the Government in securing adequate supplies of castor oil for the lubrication of aeroplane motors. Large quantities of this oil have already been absorbed by the Government, but, to insure the necessary supplies in the future, the organizing of factors in the trade for the purpose of controlling the industry was deemed necessary. The following committee of five members was chosen for the task of organizing the association as a membership corporation: A. C. Trask, of Marden, Orth & Hastings Corporation, chairman; Leonidas J. .Calvocoressi, of Ralli Bros., Irving R. Boody, of Balfour Williamson & Co., Frederick A. Marsh, of Baker Castor Oil Co., and Howard Kellogg, of Spencer, Kellogg & Sons Co.
