Abstract

Chemist, Teacher, and Manufacturer
Haynes, Williams | December 28, 1918 issue

The American scientist no longer rejoices in his contempt for commercial affairs, nor does the American manufacturer now ignore scientific theory. This new reconciliation is nowhere more marked than in the field of chemistry. During the past four years, the dislocation of ordinary sources of crude materials has forced revisions in manufacturing processes, and many of these revisions have been chemical. Thus to save cargo space, the Shipping Board last year ordered that ships from the Dutch East Indies should no longer carry tapioca. In past three years, American chemical exports, despite the handicaps of the war in the production of these goods, have increased sevenfold in value.
