Society Regulations Governing Registration BYLAW 2.
(a) Attendance at meetings of the SOCIETY is limited
to registered persons. (b) All persons in registering at meetings of the SOCIETY shall state whether or not they are members of the SOCIETY and, if not, whether they are chemists or chemical engineers. (c) American chemists or chemical engineers, nonmembers of the SOCIETY, attending meetings of the SOCIETY, shall assist in t h e sup port of the facilities which they enjoy by paying a higher registra tion fee than members. This differential at general meetings shall be S5.00 higher than the fee charged members; while at regional and divisional meetings it shall be at least twice the regular fee adopted. They shall be furnished with a special nonmember badge to differentiate "them from members of the SOCIETY and from foreign and nonchemist guests. The differential charged shall n o t apply to regularly matriculated students majoring in chemistry or chemi cal engineering at any college or university. (d) Meetings are normally open to all registrants, but a n y ses sion m a y be closed to nonmembers of the SOCIETY by order of t h e President. N O T E . Corporation members have the right t o designate one representative only with membership privileges at each meeting. If a corporation member sends a substitute for t h e delegate of record, the Secretary's office should be informed by mail. In registering, such a representative should sign the corporation name, per his own as representative. Associate members of local sections and of divisions are not members of the Society and have no Society privileges. All nonchemist visitors, including children, regardless of age, who participate in a n y trips, lunches, or other activities provided on either the men's or ladies program, regardless of whether they are free or paid events, must ay the visitors' registration fee, $3.00, and wear the appropriate adge.
C
Society Regulations Governing Papers BYLAW 3 . (a) Papers by American chemists or chemical engi neers not members of the SOCIETY shall not appear on the programs of general, divisional, or regional meetings of the SOCIETY unless they be joint papers with SOCIETY members. (6) All papers presented before general, divisional, regional, group, local section, or other meetings are the property of the SOCIETY, t o be published in the journals of the SOCIETY or released
by t h e appropriate editor if not retained for such publication. N O T E . T h e editors will give prompt decisions when papers are sent t o them with request for release. The editors concerned are A. B. Lamb, H. E . Howe, S. C. Lind, N. W. Rakestraw, and W. Albert Noyes, Jr. (c) T h e SOCIETY is not responsible for statements and opinions advanced by individuals in papers or discussions before its meet ings. (d) Any paper, although announced in the final program, m a y be excluded at any time prior to delivery by order of the President.
T h e Board of Directors has voted the following regulations (R-55) governing papers to b e presented before general, divisional, regional, or group meetings, supplementing Bylaw 3 : (a) Authorship of papers shall be accredited only to individuals and not to companies or laboratories. (b) N o paper may be presented w h i c h has been offered for pub lication elsewhere. (c) N o paper, no matter how important, m a y be presented, the title of which does n o t appear on the final program.

Hotels Hotel Peabody, Union Avenue b e t w e e n Second and Third Streets, has been designated as headquarters for the meeting. Requests for reservations should be sent a t once t o t h e A. C. S. Hotel Committee, M e m p h i s Chamber of Commerce, Hotel Pea body, Memphis, Tenn. Please fill out t h e hotel reservation request form on page 390, giving all the data requested. Because of the present large demand for hotel rooms in Memphis, it is imperative that reservations be made a t the earliest possible date. For the same reason, double occupancy of rooms is desir able. Since defense activities are making a h e a v y call on Memphis hotels, the convenience of a single room should be sacrificed as a patriotic contribution. I t i s in this spirit that the Hotel Commit tee asks that: (1) hotel reservations b e made early, giving the dates of arrival and departure, a n d (2) members arrange t o share double rooms. See page 406 for m a p of d o w n t o w n Memphis. Rooms for students, dormitory s t y l e , wili be available at $0.75 and up per day.

: FIRST C O U S I N TO SABOTAGI America needs guns and she needs all the available material to make those guns. Above is illustrated a batch process in volving thousands of pounds of iron and steel, housed by more structural material . . . all required where gravity settling is the procedure. Can this be justified today when continuous production can be ren dered by the use of a few hundred pounds of material scientifically combined to form a centrifugal . . . when you can reduce process inventories to the amount of ma terial which fills the pipe line to and from the machine . . . when you can make a better end product centrifugally in a frac tion of the time? Sharpies Super-Centrifugal Force makes the above practicable and releases those valuable defense materials for other uses.

Inspection trips to plants have been greatly curt/ailed because of the war. Many industries cannot permit inspeetion trips and others must limit attendance in order to avoid interference with production. Many plants will require identification before passes will be issued. Please wear your A. C. S. badge, which will be considered as adequate identification. Members and visitors should purchase tickets for inspection trips when registering. Tickets for morning trips will be withdrawn from sale at 5:00 P. M. the previous day and for afternoon trips at 9:00 A. M. the same day. If the limit for the trip has not been reached when tickets are withdrawn from sale in registration headquarters, they may be purchased at the time of departure for 15 cents more than the stated price. Busses will leave the Poplar Avenue entrance of the Municipal Auditorium at the times indicated.

HOLLYWOOD PLANT. Huge industries have been built upon what was once a waste product of staple cotton. This former waste, the cottonseed, has taken its place among t h e important industrial raw materials of the Nation. The Hollywood plant is the largest cottonseed oil mill in the world. Here visitors will see the removal of first· cut linters for furniture stuffing, removal of second-cut linters for chemical cotton, and t h e salvaging of the remaining fuzz from hull fiber also to be used in chemical cotton rocessing. The seed meats are crushed, heated, and then squeezed y hydraulic presses to take out the oil t h a t is used by the manufac turer of vegetable shortening. The remaining cake is utilized as cattle food. P U L P PLANT. The Memphis Pulp Plant is one of the three olants in the United States processing cotton linters. Here the lint from cottonseed (which was removed from the seed at the oil mill after the ginning process) is purified for any number of ulti mate uses. In peacetime the Pulp Plant supplied its product for manufacture of such everyday essentials as acetate rayon, films, cellophane, plastics, floor covering, weiner casings, etc. In war time the plant is doubly valuable as a basic industry for the manu facture of chemical cotton for smokeless powder.
