AGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1922 THE “LIGNITE PROBLEM” IS ~TMPORTANT Many Tests Have Been Made, Under Direction of Dean Babcock WHO IS GIVEN, NEW TITLE, Dean E. J. Babcock of the Untvers- | “ ity of North Dakota is characterized | as the “Dean of Lignite Development ; in This Gountry,” in a recent report | of W. W. Odell, fuel engineer of the} Bureau of Mines, Interior Depart-| ment, gecently received here. The re-} port of Mr. Odell deals with the in-| vestigation being made in the reduc- | tion of lignite to a commercial fuel in| North Dakota and especially of the co-operative work between the Uni-; versity of North Dakota and the Na-|{ tional Bureau of Mines. “Wor many years it has been rec- ogniz@d,” says Mr. Odell in the re- port, “by Dr. E. J. Babcock, Dean of | ‘tthe Mining Engineering Department | of the University of North Dakota, that the sqlution of the ‘lignite problem’ is | of vital importance to the State of North Dakota, and to the development of certain industries in that state. To-| ward this goal Dr. Babcock has for years been drecting experiments in carbonizing and priquetting lignite | : and in briquetting the carbonized res- idue, and has made notable headway. ‘In addition to being the Dean of Min-| ing Engineering at the University of | North Dakota, he can well be regarded as dean of lignite development in this | country.” oud ats Mia! | ~ Many Tests Engineer Odell then goes on to tell of the many tests that have been made | under the direction of Dean Babcock ‘and the final decision of the dean | “that the best manner of producing aj; highly beneficial fuel from lignite is | to briquette a carbonized residue,” and continues to the discussion of last summer: ' “During the last*summer (1921) ex- periments were conducted at the He-| bron, North Dakota, sub-station under a cooperative agreement between the} University of North Dakota and the U. S. Bureau of Mines, for the pur- poses of ascertaining what results might ‘be expected commercially from a particular type of oven; what, meth-! ‘ods of control should be used; what / yield of gas, tar and ammonia might be / realized, and to learn more about the design of ‘a carbonizer best suited for Aignite. It is obvious that in erecting | acomplete plant it is necessary to| know the capacity of a unit carbonizer | as well as_ that of the briquetting | equipment,.and in order to produce the |’ finished product at the lowest possible cost, it is desirable to obtain the min- imum in the capacity of the carbon- izer, These and. other important de- tails were given particular considera- tion during the cooperative tests.. “The plan of the work was to car- benize approximately 1,000 tons of | rawyignite by contiguous operation of ‘the carbonizer, briquetting the residue into a firm solid fuel, and to obtain , Meanwhile as much data as possible ‘relating to the following: “Quality and quantity of gas ob- tained. “Quality and quantity of gas ob- tained. “Quantity of gas required for earbonizing.’ “Behavior of lignite during pro- cessing. “Capacity of carbonizer. “Quality and quantity of resi- due obtained under various con- ditions, ead “Analysis of lignte, - resdue and the briquets made therefrom. “Binder requisites, “Character of briquettes made. | “Control methods. “Cost of briquetted residue. “Quantity of by-products. \ “The design of apparatus suit- able for carbonizing lignite, “This program was adhered to 8s nearly as Possible throughout the ex- periments.” Dr. Babcock haa found in the course | of his experiments that the ordinary | gas retorts and the ovens commonly | used for the carbonization of .bitumin- ous coal, are not suitable, as at pres- | ent designed, for the carbonization of | lignite. A special inclined retort was | used for the experiments, this having been found in the Universty tests to! produce the best résults. The conclusion of Engineer Odell is of interest until such time as the| complete report, now being prepared | in Washington is ready for the pub-! lic, His conclusions are: “The briquetting equipment ‘would briquet two tons of mix per hour, Bel- gina rolls were used, with twenty-two | inch face, three rows wide, giving a Pillow-shape_ briquet weighing ap- proximately two anda _ quarter ounces, Satisfactory briquets were obtained which, while not entirely smokeless, held up nicély in the fire, baracd evenly and withstood severe ests.” Many of the trees in California’s giant forest are more than 400 years old. w = MOTHER! MOVE CHILD’S BOWELS WITH CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP |Penrose of Pennsylvania died ; Saturday night indicated that hi HIS SERIOUS ILLNESS OF 1920-21, Washington, Jan. 3—Senator Boies late Saturday evening after a brief illne Reports from Senator Penros apartment at Wardman Park hotel con- dition was not‘so good and physicians were constantly with him. The first notice of his death, which occurred at 11:30 o’clock, was telephoned by a physician from his apartment to the hotel desk. nator Penrose who was 61 years of age, had been complaining for some days, but it was stated repeat- edly by his friends that his condi- tion was impnoving and that he would be able to resume his duties in the senate next week. His recent work as chairman of the finance committee in handling tax and tariff legislation was a greatey physical hardship, his ifriends said, than he himself had realized. ; Senator Penrosg died of pulmonary thrombosis as a result of heart fail- ure, Dr. Roy D. Adams, his physician, announced. Dr. Adams «and two | nurses: were the only persons in the room. when the end came. Started from Severe Cold Until a few_moments before death Senator Penrose, his physician said, was quite’ comfiortable,. although he lapsed into unconsciousness and it was ‘realized that his condition was desperate. Senator Penrose’s illness, after his recuperation from a long siege which kept him away from the senate for months, started early in the week with a bad cold. There was,a change for the better on ‘Wednesday, but he suffered a slight relapse Thursday. Despite that however, he was able to be up and around his apartment. Knox Death Was Shock The senator’s brother, Dr. Charles Penrose of Philadelphia, came here to see him after the first cold attéck but returned home ‘Wednesday, feeling chat the senator was well on the mend. . Adams was with Senator Penrose ae of the afternoon and throughout the evening, Senator Penrose occu- pied a large suite on the top floor of the hotel and it was said he was able to look out over the city Saturday morning before his condition began to change for the worse. It was said that he was particularly anxious to recoup his. strength so that he coula return’to his duties this week as chairman of the finance &ommittee j hearing witnesses on the tariff Dill. Dr. Adams gave the time if the sen: ator’s death as 11:30 o'clock. Friends of Senator Penrose said that the sudden death recently of his colleague, Senator: Knox, had. been such a shock to him that it had affect- ed him several days ago while he was doing his best to shake off a deep cold. Like Senator Knox, he died sud- |denly, for as Dr. Adams explained, {that while he knew the senator was quite ill, he did not anticipate death. United States Senator Boies Pen- rose of Pennsylvania, one ot. the most | interesting personalities in the Upper ‘House, which he entered in 1897 as the successor to the late Senator J. Donald Cameron, was one of the weal- thiest bachelors in the senate. An “Old Guard” Republican, he was a member of four important senate committces, namely, the finance committee, of {which he was. chairman, banking and currency, immigration and naval af- fairs. Lieutenant of Quay Stanley Quay, whose’ representative islature for many years, Penrose did not at first take a very prominent part in Republican party councils at Washington. Until his death, how- ever, he never lost presiige -as_ the leader of his party in his own state. Blunt at all times but with a reputa- tion that could be trusted in a political deal, Senator Penrose made fast friends and irreconcilable enemies: The latter often charged him with representing the “interests.” Senator Penrose was an early ad- vocate of United States intervention in ‘Mexico and in 1913 introduced’a resolution requesting that American troops bé sent into the republic south teetesseteesescccosees: Hurry mother!

Big Majorities Although called the “boss” of Penn; sylvania, Penrose obtained larger election majorities than ever under! the primary system and held‘as tight control, spending much of his time be- tween Washington and Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The senator, al- though a lawyer, seldom appeared in} courtsin late years. ‘He was, perhaps, the largest man physically in the senate, standing six feet four inches in height and weigh- ing close to 300 pounds. He traced his ancestry’ back for more than 500 years and in his veins flowed the blood of some of the most distinguished Ameri- can families. The senator's’ family is related to the Pennsylvania Biddles, the Maryland Chews and Thomases and the ‘Massachusetts Dudley and Boies famil The elder Boies aid- ed in building the breastwerks for the battle of Bunker Hill. Born in Philadelphia on November 1, 1860, young Penrose: was educated by private tutors and at the Episcopal Academy in his home-city. At 16 he entered Harvard from which he was graduated in 1881. He studied. law with Wayne ‘MacVgagh and George T. Rispham and was admitted to the bar in, 1883. Entering immediately into politics, a year later he was elected to the state legislature. In 1885 he helped to secure the passage of a reform charter for Philadelphia, known as the Bullitt bill, and the next year was chosen a state senator from one of the most. aristocratic districts in, Pennsylvania. In; 1890 he was made president pre tempore of the state senate and participated in the bitter partisan politics in the years which followed. Meanwhile, at the request of-Jjohns Hopkins University, Penrose had written in collaboration }with Edward P. Allison, his law part- ner, for use as a textbook a “History of the City Government of Philadel- phia.” He was regarded as an author- ity at that time on municipal subjects.
