DON'T SPEND FIVE FIGURES TO AUTOMATE.. WHEN $137 WILL DO IT!
1 . Spend $47.50 for a Labindustries* REPIPET*. It fits directly on your reagent bottle, instantly gives t you an automatic pipetting device. You'll pipet with 1 % accuracy, 0 . 1 % reproducibility; and, according to reports from our customers, you'll save at least 5 0 % of your pipetting time. Use with any reagent. There's no contamination, no clean-up, and no contact with the reagent. Today, REPIPETS are a must in all laboratories. 2. Spend $89.50 for a Labindustries' Automatic Dilutor. With a REPIPET-Dilutor combination, you can automate all of your liquid tests in only a few seconds with no changes in your procedures. Dilutor accuracy is 1 % , reproducibility 0.1 %. Typically, with one Repipet and one Dilutor you can take an aliquot and add t w o reagents, all within seconds, and you are ready to read your concentration in your colorimeter or spectrophotometer. Available in 1 , 1 0 , 2 0 , and 50 ml sizes, REPIPETS and Di lu tors handle volumes adjustable from one microliter to 1 0 0 ml. N o w , do you really need to spend five figures to automate?

ACS Short Course-eastern New York area Subject:
Interpretation of Mass Spectra Dr. Fred W. McLafferty, Purdue University, in charge
Where: When: Sponsor:
State University of New York (SUNY), Albany, N.Y. Sept. 7 - 8 , 1967 Eastern New York Section
Content and prerequisites:
This program of study is intended to give the student a basic knowledge and capability in the interpretation of the mass spectra of organic molecules. The only background requirement is college-level organic chemistry; no previous experience with mass spectrometry will be expected. The basic relationships between molecular structure and mass spectra will be discussed in a series of lectures. Students will work unknown mass spectra utilizing these principles and meet in small group discussion sessions.
Required texts:
(See coupon) "Interpretation of Mass Spectra- -an Introduction," F. W. McLafferty (Benjamin, New York, 1966). "Mass Spectral Correlations," F. W. McLafferty (American Chemical Society, Washington, 1963; Advances in Chemistry Series No. 40)
Registration:
Complete information about the course and housing may be obtained by using the coupon below. There is no deadline for registration—applications are accepted as long as there is room in the course, including the period after the Aug. 25 cancellation deadline. Early enrollment is strongly encouraged, however, to allow sufficient time for precourse study. The course is open to all—it is not necessary to be a member of the local section or an ACS member. A person requiring employer authorization should enroll without payment. However, if he then does not receive authorization he must cancel before the Aug. 25 cancellation deadline or else be personally responsible for payment of the fee.

Three professors get $40,000 PRF grants Petroleum Research Fund Type C grants of $40,000 each have been awarded to three outstanding scientists. The recipients are Dr. Richard Bersohn of Columbia University, Dr. Rowland Pettit of the University of Texas, and Dr. J. V. Smith of the University of Chicago. The grants, recommended by the PRF Advisory Board, were approved by the ACS Board of Directors at its recent meeting in Miami Beach. The unrestricted grants permit each recipient to investigate any area of pure science which may provide a basis for subsequent research in the petroleum field. They are for a fouryear period but may be used at any desired rate. Dr. Bersohn, professor of chemistry at Columbia, received a B.S. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1943 and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1949. He did his postdoctoral work in quantum electrodynamics at Columbia. He was a professor of chemistry at Cornell University from 1951 until 1959, when he went to Columbia. Dr. Bersohn, who has been studying the interaction of light with molecules, plans to use the PRF grant to study photolyses by optical pumping. Dr. Pettit is professor of chemistry at the University of Texas. He received a B.Sc. in 1949, an M.Sc. in 1950, and a Ph.D. in 1953 from the University of Adelaide, South Australia, and a Ph.D. in 1957 from the University of London. He was an Imperial Chemical Industries research fellow at the University of London from 1954 until 1957. He went to the University of Texas in 1957 as assistant professor, became associate professor in 1960, and assumed his present post in 1963. Dr. Pettit will use the grant for additional research in organometallic compounds. Dr. Smith, professor in the department of geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago, received a B.A. in 1948 and an M.A. and Ph.D. in 1951 from the University of Cambridge. He was a research fellow at Carnegie Institution in 1951-54. A demonstrator at the University of Cambridge from 1954 until 1956, Dr. Smith went to Pennsylvania State University in 1956 as an assistant professor. He became associate professor the following year and assumed his present post in 1960. Dr. Smith plans to use the P R F grant to study catalysis by molecular sieves and the chemistry and origin of natural zeolites.
