SCIENCE WOULD
SAVE ALCOHOL
Delaware Chemical Society
Sees Danger to Import
ant Industries
SEE MENACE IN
VOLSTEAD ACT

According 20 a statement issued
by the American Chemical Society.
Government restrictions have 30 re-
duced the production Of alcohol for
Industrial purposes that large busi-
ness enterprises are seriously handi-
capped. Powder and chemical com
panies in and near Wilmington are
said to particularly feel the shortage.
Delaware Chapter OF the American
Chemical Society embraces within its
membership men from practically
every chemical industry in this vi
cinity. The national body has total
membership OF $1,000.
With alcohol for use for beverage
purposes the society has nothing
whatever TO do. It's members. how
ever, are much Interested In
the policy OF splitting the Volstead
act 80 that the question OF indus
trial alcohol can be taken up sep
arately from the beer issue. As has
been stated at protest meetings Of
various sections OF the Society. the
chemists are urging the needs OF an
adequate supply OF alcohol as sol
vent and a fuel.
During the European War. for in
stance. enormous quantities OF de-
natured alcohol were produced In
the United States. II was believed
by chemists that this production.
which was 11O.O00.0OO gallons IN
1917. would be kept up so as 70
produce alcohol on a large scale for
the purposes OF industry and for mo.
tor fuel. The production Of 1926
was Sc. 900 coo gallons. and a recent
survey shows that So per cent. OF
the Industrial alcohol plants in the
country have been closed or scrap
ped Much OF the alcohol produced
is being exported In response TO a
large foreign demand.
Although alcohol does not appeal
as the final ingredient In thousand
OF products. Il has an enormous use
in their manufacture. One artificia
silk company uses 10000 gallons &
day as a solvent for the nitrocellulos'
from which the fine hbers OF th'
imitation OF the cocoon are made.
Millions OF gallons OF industria
alcohol are used every year in th'
manufacture OF the celluloid filmi
from which pictures are projected
upon the silver screen.
Alcohol in its pure state is en-
ployed in the manufacture OF thou
sands OF medicines. Al a recen
meeting OF the New York section o
the American Chemical Society
typewritten list OF such remedie
was used as a festoon back OF tn
speakers platform. Although IN
names Of the medicines were dis
: played in ordinary typewritinl
single space. the list made a stri
. sixty feet in length. for II contain
ed more than $500 remedies.
American chemists estimate ths
the industries Of Germany have te
gallons OF alcohol to every one avail
! able for those OF the United Statel
The plea OF the American Chem
ical Society, as expressed in a resc
luton recently adopted by that bod,
is for the production Of alcohol IN
der such conditions that IL oan read
ily be employed for heat, light an
power. for the hospital and the lab
oratory. and also as a raw nateria
and solvent in thousands OF indus
trial processes necessary to lhe na
tional prosperity.
