uses. Related rubber products will also be exhibited in the display space, which covers more than 3 million square feet at the Porte de Versailles. Europlastique 62 forms part of the European plan for plastics exhibitions. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the exhibition is an important one and, in view of the expanding demand for U.S. plastic materials in Europe, it can be a means of promoting American plastic and rubber products and manufacturing equipment in Europe. American firms interested in participating should address inquiries to M. Paul Thevenin, Secretariat d'Europlastique, 10 rue du Mont Thabor, Paris 1, France.

Packaging Requirements for Effective Marketing will be the theme of two identical West Coast regional seminars for packaging personnel, Sept. 27 and 28 in Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively. The Packaging Institute, west coast region, is sponsoring the programs, which will emphasize the relationship of the marketing, graphic arts, and technical questions in producing a package.
West Central States Biochemical Conference will be held Oct. 13 and 14 in Ames, Iowa. The program will consist of a lecture on Structure and Biosynthesis of Bacterial Cell Walls by Dr. J. L. Strominger, and general papers. For information and reservations write to the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.

W I T H THE A D D I T I O N OF
MARASPERSE* L O W C O S T , M O R E EFFECTIVE, DISPERSANTS By adding only .05% to 3.0% of Marasperse ( based on the weight of solids), a viscous pasty mass becomes an easy-to-handle freeflowing liquid. The action of Marasperse prevents, and reverts, the flocculation of insoluble particles in water suspension. Only the state of the mass is changed. The volume is unaffected because the Marasperse is taken into solution by the available water. The versatility of Marasperse dispersants is best described by the variety of applications in use, such as oil well drilling muds, gypsum slurries, ceramic slips, pesticides, dyestuffs, industrial cleaners, concrete, pigment, carbon black and clay dispersions, ore flotations, and many others. Marasperses are water-soluble, non-hygroscopic, non-fermenting, free-flowing powders. For additional information use the handy coupon.
