IMPORTANCE OF THE CHEMIST
IN THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD

Large consumers of raw material,
as well as OF many manufactured COM
modities, now specify certain require
ments which their purchases must
meet. The bulk of such materials be-
ing supplied by contract, the seller
has to know, absolutely, the quality
OF the material he is to furnish
Chemical control is necessary at both
ends One may almost say that the
present development of certain phases
OF industrial chemistry has been
brought about more by the contract
system than by any other single fac
tor. Everywhere one turns, one finds
that manufacturing processes demand
certain amount of chemical over
sight. Manufacturers find that guess
work and rule-of- thumb methods are
out of date. All sorts of materials
OF known worth are analyzed to de-
termine just what they are made of.
Experience shows that variations in
composition seriously affect the value
of many commodities. To secure uni
formity to protect against fraud, and
finally to effect improvements are
among the cheif objects sought by
| the works chemists With labora-
tory once established, primarily for
| chemical control of the works and its
products as well as for the testing
of the raw material it purchases it
| often follows that research projects
result in the development of new
methods, new products, reduction of
was'e, and on the whole, important
economic changes affecting the whole
nation.-C. E. Vail. Colorado Agri-
cultural College Fort Collins, Colo
