The foundation Of present-day
industrial progress is applied
science, which, in turn, is respon-
sible for most Of mans present-day
comforts and pleasures.
1t was modern applied science
that created such mechanism as
that which allowed Lindbergh to
wing his memorable flight from
New York to Paris in the time
that it once took our grandfathers
to travel from New York to Tren-
ton.
All the tremendous mechanical
developments of the last few de-
cades depend to an important de-
gree upon the availability and
cheapness of abundant supplies of
fuel and Of iron, copper, vanadium,
barium, chromium, aluminium, mag
nesium, tn, zinc and other base ma
terials, all of which are the re-
suits of applied science-that is to
say, the application of mans inven-
tive genius and research to modern
industrial progress.

wrought by chemists in modern in
dustry, none is more interesting
than the turning Of cotton into Fab
rikoid, a product which is used as
substitute for leather. Each year
millions of yards of fabrikoid are
manufactured for binding books,
upholstering automobiles and fur
niture, covering closed car decks,
manufacturing high grade luggage
and wardrobe trunks, wall cover
ings and novelty products.
Prior to the World War, synthet-
ic dyes were almost all made in
Germany; but after the war the
making of these dyes was taken up
in America and today our chemists
supply practically all the needs of
this country.
We ordinarily think of dyes as
being used in the textile field alone,
but, as a matter of fact, to the
leather, paper, paint, ink and in
many other industries a supply of
synthetic dyestuffs is just as indis-
pensable. Although the value Of
the dyestuffs in most finished ar
ticles Is an extremely small per-
centage of the total value of the
articles themselves, it is estimated
that S6,000,0OO 900 of production in
this country is dependent on the
dyestuffs industry.
The same cotton which used to go
into the young lady's dress or
stockings-she wears rayon or silk
nowadays-is the same cotton that
goes into the motion picture film,
which, in turn, provides education
and entertainment for millions of
people every day. The cotton, nj
trated, produces nitrocellulose.
In making the motion picture
film, the celluloid base or carrier
is produced by casting solutions of
and camphor contin-
uously upon a rotating drum. AS
the drum turns, the solvent used is
evaporated and a sheet of celluloid |
remains on the wheel. This sheet, |
before the drum makes a complete |
revolution, is sufficiently dry and |
tough to permit stripping and is
removed from the drum as an end

well-known material sometimes re-
ferred to as limitation leather
but which is not imitation at all, be-
cause in reality it answers many
purposes far better than leather.
Fabrikoid is built of, as well as
on, cotton, for both the coating and
base fabric are the same material,
although in a widely different form.
Fabrikoid being all cotton the ma
terial is moth-proof, insect-proof,
and vermin-proof. Cotton with py-
roxylin coating wholly discourages
the most destructive species of
reaches and ants.

For many years the best books
were bound in leather but this is no
longer the case. The most radical
improvement in book construction in
the past 500 years has been furnish
ed by the modern industrial chem
lists who gave Fabrikoid to the
world. One publisher of books has
bound 100000 volumes in Fabri-
koid, which has been found to be
impervious to water, grease, stain,
mildew, mould and vermin, and it
can be made into many colors and
designs.
