SCIENTISTS MAKE
 USE OF CHEMICALS
Eliminate Engine Knocks, Tell
 Stale Milk, Distinguish Food

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 6.-Seaweed kelp, automobile engines, and just plain milk were the widely different subjects discussed at the opening day of the American Chemical society con- vention now being held here
 On the platform before the dele gates, were usually symphony or chestras perform, motor engine af- f1icted with knocking played the chief overture of the day, while chemists listened, as intently as opera lovers do to Carmen" to the effect of the introduction of chemical com pound, invented by Thomas Midgley, Jr., and T. A. Boyd, of Dayton, on the knocking" discords.
 Engine Knocks
 Chemicals whose action Is similar to those known as 'catalysts', even ii present only in the most minute quan- tities," said Mir. Boyd, "can eliminate to great degree the knocking which is most injurious to engines" The gasoline symphony played on cylinders was to prove his contention.
 Seaweed Kelp
 Seaweed kelp, which contains io- dine and other elements common in sea water and believed to be beneficial in preventing goitre, was explained to be necessary part of diet of those who live so far inland as to be de- prived of sea food in quantities.
 J. w. Turrentine, whose activities resulted in the establishment of the kelp industry on the Pacific coast, in- troduced the seaweed kelp in its new role to the chemists. The new form" he said, admits of cheap prepara- ton and preservation, and Is easily available for the afflicted people of all countries"
 Age of Milk
 Housewives uncertainty as to the youth or age of the contents of the bottle found with newspaper on the porch each morning is the reason for the prominent part of milk in to- days meeting. "Methylene blue" a dye, is cleverer and more sure than the nose in detecting the age of milk" said Minnie F. Dresslar, who demon- strated the action of the dye in dis old milk and remaining per fectly clear in new. Seven other dyes may be used with equal success, the scientists say.
