Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

ATOW is the time to get acquainted with the name
= of John Winthrop Jr He was the first chemist
to settle in the American colonies. You will be hear
ing about Winthrop and his colleagues quite bit
between and next April when the American
Chemical Society celebrates the three hundredth
niversary of the establishment Of the chemical in
dustry in America.
The celebration will be held in New York during
the week of April %, with from 1000 to 10000 Of
the nations chemists in attendance. Professor Ar
thur W. Hixson of Columbia university is general
chairman of the committee in charge Of the show.
The committee hopes to have President Franklin
d. Roosevelt deliver the opening address, Professor
Hixson says. 1t is planned to have leaders In in
dustry, finance and government present to unite
with the chemists in centering world attention upon
the nations growing chemical industries
A SURVEY just completed reveals that research
n work has been continued without abatement
during the depression, Professor Hxson says.
Many new processes have been developed for
making products that could not formerly be pro-
duced economically and many new products have
been developed that have been designed to meet
the needs Of new and better living conditions" ne
continues.
The fundamental soundness of American chem
ical industries is illustrated by the way in which
they have withstood the economic shock Of the de-
preston.
In the last 300 years in times of stress whether
in peace or war the chemical industries have done
their part With such a record of achievement they
stand DIT the beginning Of a new era confident OF
their ability to contribute in larger measure
TO the happiness and welfare Of the people and to
the wealth and strength Of the nation"
A STUDY Of world production of chemical prod
n ucts today indicates the leading position Of
America. Professor Hxson says.
The annual production of chemical products in
which these industries lead the world, such as Pc
troeum products rubber cement, heavy chemicals.
metal products agricultural chemicals, engineering
chemicals, explosives foods. processing chemicals,
air chemicals sea water and brine chemicals paints
pigments and many others recorded in figures OF
almost astronomical proportions and whose values
run into billions Of dollars" he says.
These gigantic basic industries have been built
by American initiative and ingenuity with the aid OF
chemical and physical science.
To-day the United States produces more than
three times as much sulphuric acid as Germany
four times as much as Great Britain, I'VE times as
much as France or Japan, and more than cne-third
OF the world output"

PARK DEPARTMENT

Bad Weather Is Blamed
by Joseph.

Revenues of the indianapolis park
department fluctuate with the ther-
mometer, the Marion county tax
adjustment board was told today by
Jacket w. Joseph, commission
chairman.
Analysing the prospective park
fund balance, Mr.. Joseph disclosed
that revenues fell off sharply dur
ing the extreme summer heat, when
not even swimming pools were pa
tronized extensively. Golf revenues
sank to new lows.
The colder weather of the past
two weeks has kept park patrons out
of the swimming pools.
Mr.. Joseph predicted a closing
balance of $4,000. Chamber of
Commerce representatives estimated
it at $3.50
