CELLULOSE ADxjS TO COMK)RT,
LEKGTH OF LIFE SaYS DR. HOWE
Cellulose Is one of the most important materials of research cliemlstry
from the viewpoint of adding to the convenience, c mfort, and length of life,
according to Dr. Harrison E. Howe, who
was a speaker on a lecture program before 1200 honor high school students,
given recently at the American Museum of
Natural History in New YorK..
Cellulose, which is the fundamental
material of the structure of plants,
comes from many sources, Dr« Howu stated, It may be fibrous matorial
like
cotton linters, or the woody material
of spruce, or it may come from sugar
cane, long leaf pine waste chips, cornstalks, or any one of m.any other sources#
'vVood was cited as the most important source. It is chosen for beauty,
for strength, for oder, it is the raw
material for paper making, one of our
highly important industries, and now it
is being- converted by the chemist into
the most varied types of objects which
bear no resemblance to the original material from which they are derived.
New types of paper pul}. are being
devGlo_;od from cellulose, the speaker
said, v;hich will both relieve our dependence on foreign countries for sources of sup_ly and will open up for development a large section of the southeastern United States.
According
to Dr. Howe,
cotton
enters the rank next in importance to
spruce as a source of cellulose which,
he said may become anything "from literature to lingerie." The first conversion problem of the chemist is to get
the cellulose into solution, from which
varied materials are made.
The objects demonstrated and discussed included
various aspects of
Cellophane cellulose film, rayon, lacquorod fabrics, and plasi:ics« Fabrics
m.ade in part or entirely of Cellophane,
included a velvet with metallic plint,
and drapery materials which are becoming
increasingly important in decoration,

A BEDTIlViE STORY
As our story begins, Wb find our
hero and heroine strolling on "The Beach
at Malibu" or was it Coney Island? At
any rate v/e find them strolling. The
pale gleam of "IVIoonglow" surrounds them
and there are no "Clouds"® But their
enviorment is noisy as any such place is
with barkers yelling," Take a Number
from One to Tcn^', or •I'm Putting all my
Eggs in One Basketv for the last chance
this eveningo" Barbara and Lowell have
been attracted mainly by the merry-goround and we've seen them "Riding on the
Merry-Go-Round" where "The Music Goes
'Round and Around".
'^#ould You Like to Take a V/alk?,"
asks Lowell,alv/ays the gallant gentleman,
of his fair companion® "'^ell," says Barbara, "I've alwc.ys, always said thaf'Y'U
Gotta' be a Foot-all Hero' to
get on
v;ith me e
"I take boxing," answered Lowell
eaberly. "Well in that case,'I'll String
Along With YOU,'" said Barbara.
"Goshs I wish it would rain'Pennies
from Heaven' or something",said
Lowell,
so thot we could have 'Tea on the Terrace'", as he felt his lean wallet.
"Good night," tho'jght B a r b a r a T h i s
Is a Fine Homr.nce', 'When I Get too Old
to Dream, I'll get a kick out of 'Memories' like this one, 'Would You?"
"Well, 'Good-night, Sweetheart,'"
whispered Lowe 11 •
"V/ill you take thlB
'Tliittle White Gardenia" in memory of me?
You know, 'I Like the Likes of You'".
"Oh, goodness, what will my brother
say". murmured Barbr.ra, "It's been a'Delovely' evening and 'Thanks a Million'".
And so wo leave Lowell, hitch hiking home and humming '^Jbove in Bloom" and
sech in bet7/een rides.
We've already
left Barbara, so that disposes of
all
our characters and the stige is clear.
(continviod from column one)
The plastics included shatterproof
or "safety" glass, described as cellulose acetate sheeting, put with adhesives
between tv/o sheets of plate glass. Toiletware sets, toys, hcndb;.gs, and scuffless heels were shown.
In conclusion Dr© Howe emphasized
to the students present the future that
lies in cellulose reset.rch because of
it's endless uses and universal application.
