OTHER DEVELOPMENTS OF THE RESINOUS PRODUCTS LABORATORY Synthetic Resins as Plywotnl Adhesive* T E C O — a reactive phenol formaldehyde resin in film form, is the standard ply wood adhesive for airplanes, boats, and for other uses where maximum durability is essential. UFORMITE—a urea formaldehyde resin adhesive widely used in place of the less durable animal and vegetable glues for plywood, furniture, etc. Synthetic Resins in the Coatings industry More than fifteen years ago, AMBEROLS (modified oil-soluble phenol formalde hyde resins) paved the way for the mod ern, quick-drying varnishes.

| ^ Η Ε domestic fluorspar industry w a s called upon to supply an unprecedented demand in 1941 t o meet requirements of steel mills and aluminum plants, both of which set new production records, and t h e greatly accelerated needs of manufactur ers of glass, enamel, and hydrofluoric acid, according t o final 1941 figures re ported b y the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Shipments from mines in 1941, amount ing to 320,669 short tons, were 37 per cent greater than i n 1940 and 22 per cent more than t h e previous record of 263,817 tons made in 1918. T h e 1941 shipments were sufficient not only t o take care of consumption, but also t o enable consum ers to increase inventories slightly. There was only a small decline in stocks at mines. Sales of imported fluorspar in the United States, however, were 31 per cent less than in 1940.

Emergency Actions during A . S. T. M . Committee W e e k T H E 1942 A. S. T. M. Committee Week, held in Cleveland on March 2 to (>, was featured by emergency actions on im portant specifications and test methods. More than 520 technologists attended the various committee meetings. Attendance was good at practically all of the 150 meet ings, but particularly in such fields as steel, ruober products, petroleum, and road and paving materials. In the next few weeks a large number of emergency alternate provisions will be is sued to expedite procurement or conserve critical materials. Gummed stickers with full details are sent t o all w-ho use the Book of A. S. T. M. Standards, and the pro visions are also published in the A. S. T. M. Bulletin. Since 1942 is the Book of Standards year when the society will reissue in three parts its widely used volume of specifications and standard tests, many committees were busy bringing up to date the standards work in their charge. Many of these matters will be included in the committee reports to be presented at the 45th A. S. T. M. annual meeting in Atlantic City, i\T. J., June 22 to 26.
Lead Contamination T ^ KCEXT press reports that material.*» such as tooth paste can be kept in collapsible tubes made from lead without becoming contaminated are not true. The press drew this conclusion from a paper presented at a recent ineeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers under the author ship of the undersigned and Messrs. Markus and Grobe. This paper demon strated that in carbonate solutions in t h e pH range from 9.5 to 11.2 the tin-lead couple is under cathodic control and t h e anodic elements are tin. The effect of several addition agents was also demon strated. The experiments did not deal with any commercial material such a s tooth paste or shaving cream, and t h e corrosion properties of lead alone were not discussed. There is of course no scien tific justification for applying the results obtained for the lead-tin couple in car bonate solutions to uncoupled lead in a n y other environment. In order t o avoid cases of lead contami nation, it is important that tliese facts should be disseminated as widely a s pos sible b y scientists who are qualified t o understand their implications.

Π Ρ Η Ε Chicago Section of the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY has been asked t o
cooperate with t h e Chicago Metropolitan Area Office of Civilian Defense in the de velopment and supervision of the training of instructors in war gas defense for this area. Ward V. Evans, Northwestern Uni versity, has been appointed chief gas train ing officer. Dr. Evans presented the first course of three two-hour lectures during the week of March 16. Chemists and chemically trained persons taking this course are to become instructors in their local communities after examination and certification by the training division. It is expected that the course will be repeated later, and other courses added as soon as they can be developed. The section also has an active Defense Committee, and a National Defense Forum has been added to the group meet ings which follow the monthly meetings.
Frank S. MacGregor, since June 1941 director of t h e Priorities Division of E.

The companj' will consult with the architect, inspect installation of production equipment, and train kc3T personnel. The Government will finance t he project and the company will operate on a cost plus fixed fee basis, under direction of its Naugatuck Chemical Division. T h e company is now operating an ordnance plant in the Middle West for the manufacture of small arms ammunition.
U. S. Cork-Producing Possibilities Studied E X P E R I M E N T S in planting cork oak, from which cork is stripped, aj*e planned by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, if the Forest Service can get acorns from the Mediterranean, formally the United States imports about S 10,000,000 worth of cork annually from Spain, Portugal, and North Africa. Parts of the Southwest, southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, have a similar climate, and the department believes cork should do well here. From a few cork oaks planked in California more than 70 years ago, good firstyield cork has been gathered under superCHE M I C A L
vision of thf Agricultural Extension Service of the University of California. Several native trees produce a kind of cork suitable for several types of products, such as heat insulation and packing material. These include Southwestern fir and the more common Douglas fir. White fir also offers some possibilities.
Civilian Use of G a s Masks Π Ρ Η Ε cry now going up for civilian gas masks, if heeded, will result in a crime of t h e first magnitude against our offense effort", Joel H. Hildebrand, chair man of t h e Department of Chemistry, University of California, and codesigner of the American Army gas mask of 1918, said in addressing the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco, March 6. Continuing, D r . Hildebrand said: Unless y o u are some sort of warden, you have little excuse for being exposed to toxic gas. Y o u should stay indoors, where you are better protected without a gas mask than you would be out-ofdoors with one. Close all doors and windows and shut off any furnace that draws air in from the outside. Seal the cracks, if y o u are very nervous, with tape or wet rags or paper. G o to t h e upper floors and wait for the gas to blow away or for the street squads t o disinfect. Breathe through a wet towel, and, if this is not sufficient comfort, p u t your head under a pillow and pray. You do not need a gas mask and you are disloyal to our fighters if you demand one wrhen labor, rubber, and other ma terials are so vitally needed for fighting purposes.
Production a n d Consumption of M e r c u r y D r o p Slightly ^CONSUMPTION of mercury declined from ^ 3,900 flasks in December 1941 to 3,800 m January 1942, while production was falling from 3,900 to 3,700 flasks. Certain strategic materials, including mercury, were placed under import control late in December. General Import Order M-63 provides that, unless otherwise author ized by W P B , contracts for imports of these materials will b e handled by the Metals Reserve Company. Conserva tion Order M-78, issued by W P B in January, limited the use of mercury for all purposes nGt considered essential. Mercury prices throughout the month averaged $202.519. Stocks in consumers' and dealers' hands, calculated from reports covering 93 per cent of metal on hand at t h e end of December, amounted to 12,900 flasks and producers' stocks were at least 573 flasks, compared with 12,400 and 439 flasks, respectively, at the end of Decem ber. Stocks of metal in the hands of consumers of redistilled metal only at the end of December were 1,600 flasks in addi tion to those reported above. A N D
