graduated 24 women in a n industrial chemistry war-training course on August 22. The course is part of the institute's Engineering, Science and Management War Training program, and the women are going into war work immediately. Illinois Tech was the first school in the Nation to offer such courses training women for technical war jobs. Other sections in industrial chemistry will be opened later, as well as courses in ordnance inspection and industrial drafting—the other courses which arc offered in the program.

RUBBER Edited b v : C. C. Davis and John T . Blake Published under the Auspices of the R u b b e r Division of the American Chemical Society N O T E : The prospect of a severe and long-continued shortage of rubber makes it more necessary t h a n ever for the industrial consumers of rubber t o understand its properties. Such knowledge will greatly aid them in determining what substitute materials can be used t o greatest advantage.

Danish Glass Works Resumes Operations KESI^MPTION of operations by the glass works at Kersor, Denmark, after two years' idleness because of lack of coal, is reported officially from Denmark. The plant has a capacit}* t o produce a considerable part of that country's re quirement, approximately 6,000 tons annually, and has been put back into activity because stocks have become exhausted and the demand has risen. Some 7,000 tons of coal have been as signed to the factory. Stocks of other raw materials are said to be adequate. It will be several months before the new Danish glass is on the market, it is stated, as the ovens must be fired, and the initial product is likely to be defective.
Resistance to Heat, Fatigue Increased in New Alloys U O U R aluminum alloys of beryllium, said to retain their high tensile strength even when subjected to the high t e m peratures encountered in the newest air plane engines, have been developed b y the Aluminum Co. of America, New K e n sington, Penna. The alloys are revealed in Patents 2,286,624 to 2,286,627, granted to Lewis W. Kempf and Walter A. Dean o f Lake wood, Ohio. I t is claimed that t h e new alloys are not weakened b y t e m peratures as high as 600° F .

Recovery of Steel Plant By-Products Planned in Brazil
"Dry" Bans Alcohol Tires A TELLING point against alcoholic rub ber is pointed out by the New York Times in quoting a "letter to the editor" from an ardent prohibitionist of Nashville, Tenn. He said, "Fellow prohibitionists, let us refuse to use this product of an evil in dustry in any way, shape, form, or fashion, as we have i n the past. We had rather walk than ride on tires made of alcohol."
1 HE Brazilian Government expects t o recover large quantities of chemical by-products from operation of a steel plant being constructed in that country. The plant should be in full operation b y the end of 1943. Estimated by-products will be tar, 15,200,000 liters annually;

Mounted at the iront of the balance case, the paz-aholic reflector directs all light over the entire working area of the balance. The lamp is rigidly supported by a clamp which cannot mar the case finish, can be attached to all makes and styles of balances, and wfcien in position permits free movement of the sliding· door. The weight of the reflector is greatly reduced by making a separate unit of the auxiliary so that it can be placed on. the laboratory bench close to the balance. The G. E. fluorescent tube supplied with the lamp produces approximately 750 hours of g-lareless, efficient light of daylight quality. S-3820 Balance Lamp, Fluorescent, Sargent.
