TODAY and Sun k pak* ' IJKSKAlU'H ..... millions I bad never quite realized tbe full extent to which industry la jni ploying scientifically trained' technicians to improve their pro luct? and devise new ones or new tfays of using the old ones, until! [ saw a report the other day byj he head of a great industrial cor-j jo ration. ^angbourne M. Williams. Jr.,i jresident of the Freeport Sulphur Company, points out that there ire now more than 1,700 indus rial research laboratories, ? em >loying 23,000 technicians, on vhich industry is spending 250 nillion dollars a year. These research workers are' rained men recruited from the reat technical schools and univer- , ities. This particular company las appointed oue of its engineers. )onald B. Mason, as technical di ector for the purpose, among oth- ' ir things, of establishing and | naintaining contacts with the un-| versities so that the pick of thei innual crop of techuical gradu-j ites w(ill And jobs wailing for' hem. ' "Research." says Mr. Williams, is American's most promising lource of jobs as well as higher; irofits." I know that in many :hemical industries ^.more than talf the profits come from new >roducts developed by research in 'he past ten years. PROGRESS ...... freezing The world is what it is today be cause of scientific research which las laid the foundation for these jetter quality and wider variety >f useful things which make life easier or more enjoyable. Not only have the great inven tions of modern times come large ly out of the industrial research laboratories, but new scientific principles are constantly being discovered, opening new fields in which inventors can exercise their ingenuity. >. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced the other day that in its laboratory it had been discovered tbat metal at a temperature of 460 degrees below , zero becomes a perfect conductor of electricity, eliminating all re sistance and loss of power. Some-! one may lind u way to freeze the high-lines and so reduce the cost of current to consumers to almost nothing. Assen Jordanoff, a young air pilot, has lately made experiments with freezing the gasoline in an airplane's tanks. It takes extreme ly low temperature, but it elimi nates the most dangerous hazard of filing, thati of the plune catch iug Are after a crash. INVENTIONS .... television Kew people have any notion of the amount of ttrae and money which it takes to bring a new in vention of Importance to the point where it 'begins to make money for the Inventor and the people who have put> money into it. Kight now the big broadcasting companies are announcing that they are about ready to begin com mercial television broadcasting and put television receiving sets on the market. We have been hearing about television for near-; ly 20 years. The other day the! original inventor of the basic principle on which the broadcast ing companies are working tonHof the time and money it <had cost, i Philo T, Farusworth of Phila-1 delphia. when a boy of 14. tend-, log a domestic generating plant! on his family's farm in the West, I worked out the idea, but trying to; puti it into operation was, as he puts it? "like trying to build a lo- i comotive on a desert island." He! persuaded one business man after | another to put up money for ex-i pertinents until now, sixteen years later, more than a million dollars! has been spent to bring television, to perfection. | SCIENCE . glass Besides all the industrial re search which is going on, there' ' are hundreds of scientific labora 1 tories where the purpose of the ! research workers is to discover > new scientific principles which may or may not have a practical commercial value. Sooner or later, however, most of these additions to human knowledge become the basis of new Inventions. Almost) anyone can imagine us es for Invisible glass. Dr. Katha ; rine Blodgett. a research worker , in the General Electric laborator 1 ies at Schenectady, discovered that by coating glass with chemi cals so compounded that they i "Most Typical War Veteran Family" gj NEW YORK CITY . . . From thousands of entries and after months of eliminations, the "Typical American War Veteran and Ms Family" (shown above), were selected at the annual meeting of the Seventy Seventh Division Association at their clubhouse In New York. The honors went to Fred J. Wallln, 46-year-old building superintendent and his wife and two children. ? could be spread in a film of tlue thickness of a molecule, which is the smallest tangible part into which matter can Iwdrrtded, the glass lost its power of reflecting light. At the same time it became very much more transparent than before. The only reason we see clear glass at all is because it reflects lighti and images. * Non-reflecting glass would be quite invisible. The field is wide open for inven tive genius to find practical, com mercial applications of invisible glass. DURABLE . .... i danger There is such a thing as an in vention being too good to be com mercially valuable. If anyone could Invent a suit of clothes or u pair of shoes that would never show wear, it would not be long before the whole world would be clothed and garment makers and 'shoe manufacturers would have to shut down except to supply the needs of the annual crop of hu man beings. An example of such an inven tion is the radio tube which lasts for 50.000 honrs without wearing ! out. It is used in long-distance1 ^Mlephony. The ordipary tube in your radio receiving set has a lite of about 1,000 hours. But whati would you do with tubes that last ed 50,000 hours? How many hours a day do you run your radio? How often do you get a new one? Manufacturers say it wouldu't pay them to make 50,000-hour tubes for domestic use because styles change in radios so often, and few people' could or would buy the expensive longlived tubes. To wear out one of them one would have to( run his radio 24 hours a day for more than six i years continuously Long before ! the six years were up most of us ? would want* a more modern re ceiving set. TiOWKK I Average price for the entire . flue-cured tobacco crop in 1938 has been estimated by the U. S. 1 Bureau of Agricultural Economics 1 at 22.5 cents a pound, a small de ! crease from the 23 cent average of 1937. Production totaled 788, t 000. 000 pounds. - /?
