NEGRO RESEARCH CHEMIST
SEEKS NEW USES FOR FARM

NEGRO RESEARCH CHEMIST
SEEKS NEW USES FOR FARM
PRODUCTS AT USDA LAB ~
John E. Hodge, research chem
list, is making significant con-
tribution to tire intensive search
for new industrial uses for farm
products which is being carried
out at the U. S. Department of
Agriculture's Northern Regional
Research Laboratory, Peoria, ILL.,,
says DR.. L. B. Howard, chief of
the Bureau of Agricultural and
Industrial Chemistry.
Mr.. Hodge, who has been en-
ployed in the LABORATORY since
1941, is engaged in research which
may lead to the development of
more durable laquers and varnish-
es, synthetic fibers and products
similar to cellophane.
G. e. Rist, acting head of the
Starch and Dextrose division of
the BAIC laboratory, reports that
Mr.. Hodge has made major con-
tributions to the knowledge of the
preparations of complex starch
derivatives. He points out that
the young chemist has developed
an improved procedure for pre-
pairing these derivatives which
has enabled him to succeed in
solving the difficult problem of
separating the constituents of
trimethyl starch-something that
had never been achieved before.
The results of this research will
be published in scientific journals
Mr.. Rist explains that a tho
rough knowledge of the chemical
structure of starch, such as Mr..
Hodges work has made available,
is necessary in order to deter
mine the industrial uses that may
be made of it. He says that the
new lacquers and varnishes that
may probably be developed from
starch that offer possibility of in
creasing considerably the life of
furniture coated with them.
Mr.. Hodge, who is considered
one of the most valuable research
chemists in his division, received
his A. B. and his M. S. Degree in
chemistry from the University of
Kansas.

1t would be wonderful little ceremony;
well worth waiting for. Funny the way lone,
dusty green bottle of champagne could assume
such significant stature in your life. Especially
after such an innocent beginning.
IT HAD started with single bottle left over

A Short Short Story

T~oNIGHr, he thought mellowly, was the
l. night. Tonight, after five years, they'd
break out what they'd come to refer to merely
as The Bottle. He'd pull the cork with quite
a flourish. and they'd fill the long stemmed
glasses and offer up the toast that had been
five years deferred.
He'd been pretty sure it was going to hap
pen today. That morning before he left the
house he'd told her, Better stand by for
call from me- Something big, maybe" and
she'd said, 'Oh. Bill" because both of them
knew what the call might be about without
saying anything more.
Bill Mason smiled contentedly as he drove
along the parkway. Not even the stupid

good, upassailable reasoning of course, and
typical of her. Shed always had a strong sense
of the fitness and rightness of things, the
ability to overlook superfcialities and see the
more important things beyoad.
STILL, they could never quite agree on the
celebration. Not even when he got out of the
army, or when he landed good position with
Hughes MacLane, a job he'd been pointing to
for long time. Not even when Larry was
born and he'd said to her in the hospital: You
won't stop me now. That cork is going to pop
the day bring you home. Well even put
drop in Larry's formula, so all three of us can
get in on the deal"
She'd laughed musically. ''Oh, Bill, what's

Gasoline From Oil

Plans for a program to perfect
commercial processes forming gas
oline and a gas fuel of high heating
value from soft coal have been an
nounced from Pittsburgh, Pa. The
manufacture of synthetic gas from
coal, already perfected in the labo-
ratory, will be tried out on a larger
scale in a pilot plant to be erected
at Library, Pa. The pilot plant will
consume about so tons of coal a day
and from this will come a daily pro-
duction of about "a million cubic
feet of gas suitable for synthesis
into liquid and gas fuels of high
heating value.
