GERMAN PERFECTS
:. LIQUID OXYGEN
Invention Means Great Saw
ing in Transportation Cost
Over Old Way.

BERLIN CP).-Oxygen used in Highly
compressed form in industrial under
takings can now be delivered in light
brass containers instead of the heavy
steel tanks formerly used and requiring
two men to carry.
DR.. Paul Heylandt, Berlin chemist
and. inventor, has discovered a process
by which the gas can be manufactured
and delivered in liquid form. His in
vention has won for him the honorary
degree Of doctor of engineering from
the Charlottenburg Institute of Tech
nology here.
Delivered Like Oil.
The oxygen gas is reduced to liquid
by DR.. HeylandtS process, is then
poured into specially devised containers
on automobile trucks, and is carted
from plant to plant much as gasoline
or oil is delivered. The needs of the
customers are supplied by merely open
ing a faucet and letting the desired
quantity run into the small containers
supplied to each customer.
At a nominal rental the customer Is
also supplied with apparatus for con-
verting the liquid oxygen into COM
pressed gas, which is then stored in the
steel bottles that were hitherto trans
ported back and forth.
These steel bottles weigh rs kilo-
grams and contain only 8 Kilograms of
oxygen gas" DR.. Heylandt says. That
of course, is tremendous economic
waste, especially when you consider that
on the return trip one must pay freight
on rs Kilograms of empty containers.
We find that for distances beyond 65
miles the freight amounts to more than
the price of the gas.
Dye Firms Use 1t.
with the oxygen reduced to liquid,
transportation becomes G. negligible fac
tor. This means that 20 to so per cent
of the cost is eliminated Also, far less
personnel is required to handle it. 1t
takes four strong men to carry two
steel bottles together containing 16 kilo-
takes but one boy to carry to same
quantity in liquid form"
A number of large industrial firms,
among them the German Dye Trust
and the General Electric Co., already
use the liquefied oxygen. Not only the
liQuefying process but also the con-
struction of the containers, which are
surprisingly light, is the invention of
Heylandt, who has recently celebrated
his twenty-fifth anniversary as chem
ical researcher and inventor.
incidentally, Heylandt'S liquid oxygen
was used for christening the new Zep-
pelin dirlgible at FriedrichShafen.

ROR-ADACK'S DELEGATES

1t looks as If the II Connecticut
delegates OF J. Henry Roraback to
the Republican national convention
will have TO vote for Herbert Hoover
after all.
J. Henry. of course, wants them TO
vote for Calvin Coolidge: but il the
close observers and similar gentry in
Washington are not mistaken. Calvin
is going to stick by his guns not to
run again and is going to say SO be-
fore the convention starts: or let his
preference be known to the leaders
in an unmistakable fashion.
That past, there will be nothing
left for the Connecticut delegates to
do but vote for Hoover the choice Of
Coolidge.
They cannot vote for Dawes, Low
den. Watson or Curtis, the remaining
serious contenders because every one
of them Is in favor of farm relief
legislation along the lines of I'll,
McNary- Haugen bill: they believe in
the equalization fee and everything
that the east dislikes in regard to
farm relief. This certainly is some
thing that the Connecticut delegates
are not expected to swallow. Hoover,
then, remains the only alternate to
Coolidge.
1t Is safe bet that the Nutmeg
delegates will begin voting for
Hoover about the time that Andy
Melons - Pennsylvania delegates
begin doing SO. And Andy's boys may
begin doing SO on the first Or second
ballot.

Q. How should hair brushes be
washed to keep the bristles In good
condition?
A. Dissolve a piece of soda the
size OF a walnut in q quart of hot
water. and after combing out the
hair from the brush. dip it, bristles
downward. into the water and out
again. keeping the back and handle
as free from the waiter as possible.
Repeat this until the bristles look
clean, then rinse the brush in a little

They made an Investigation Of the

money is obtained from somewhere
quickly SO that the building may be
ready for the fail term.
The need for $4,000 additional
contrasts rather badly with the an
nouncement at the time the insur-
ance money was paid. Then it was
stated the sum would be more than
enough to pay for the reconstruc-
ton, that there would be $4,000 left

BUS EXTENSION

It's been a long time since the
public has read anywhere that the
Connecticut company planned to en-
tend one of its multifarious trolley
lines. To extend trolley line now
adays seems to be entirely out OF
STYLE. But It isn't uncommon for the
reader to be confronted with a news
story telling him that a bus line may
be extended. Extending bus lines is
something entirely different. It's the
fashion.
1t would be possible to extend the
Pennington avenue trolley line If the
company cared to spend the money
Tor tracks and poles and trolley
wires. That would be the only ex-
pense and no new trolley cars would
need to be purchased. But even this
little outlay is too much. An extern
sion is deemed advisable, and so in
order TO provide it the plan is TO ex-
tend the Independent Burritt street
bus line to accommodate residents in
the Pennington avenue district be
yond the limit OF the present trolley
line, Pennington avenue, Of course
would be reached by the bus line
via Osgood avenue, which crosses
North Burritt street slightly be-
yond the present terminal Of the
Burritt street line. 1t is entirely logi-
cal, and even If not many fares are
picked up along the projected Osgood
avenue Pennington avenue extension
for awhile the future prospects
should be attractive.
Nothing better illustrates the ad-
vantage ri the bus lines over the
trolley lines. 4 disadvantage may be
that the buses wear out quicker than
the trolley cars. and they may have
other disadvantages; but there is
TO doubt that the cost OF keeping up
tracks and the paving that goes with
1t IL heavy drain on the trolley line
overhead, while first cost with TO
spect to trolleys is serious bar
against extensions
The flcxibility Of the buses haNa
much to commend them. Their
routes can be extended or ContractnI
