The process works, it was stated, on the same principle as that by which the hu man body take* oxygen from the air and into the blood. Air is blown through a tube which is lined by a specially compounded red-colored chemical. This chem ical absorbs oxygen. When the absorption reaches its maximum, the air flow is stopped and the chemical gives off its oxygen when the tube is heated. The oxygen is pumped into storage tanks and the process is repeated again and again. Dr. Calvin saic the method was used to supplj oxygen for welding and other op orations in the South Pacifie r where regular base supplies were j not available. The method was conceived while researchers were looking for something to indicate J oxygen changes in submarines. He submitted the idea to the Na tional Defense Research Commit tee which financed further studies. i Dr. I. O. Schaub, Extension di rector at State College, who “re members when,” says that post war conditions now sharply paral lel those existing in 1919. Blue mold has appeared in most flue-cured tobacco communities of the state this year but control programs are the most extensive in history.
