As the result of an FERA project, research and experiments with this derivative of lignite coal have been conducted dt the school of mines of the university under direction of Dean L. C. Harrington. Dean Harrington pointed out that| cheap raw materials are available in unlimited quantities and that there is ‘an expanding national market. Activated carbon is a term applied to a group of carbon products which have the power of attracting and ab- sorbing certain gases and materials from solution. A notable example is the wartime gas mask which purified poison gas as the contaminated air was drawn through granulated acti- vated carbon. Remove Oils and Tar The process of activation of lignite consists in carbonizing it at 600 de- grees centigrade to remove water oils and tar. The resulting char is then activated by subjecting it to an oxi- dizing treatment at 900 degrees cen- tigrade with super-heated steam. North Dakota ligriite, Dean Har- tington said, is particularly suited to the production of activated carbon because of its low sulphur,. low ash and high fixed carbon content. The ash is quite soluble and may be easily removed to produce a high grade ac- tivated carbon. Commercial consumption is rapidly increasing, he pointed out. Large ton- nages are used in the refining of cane and beet sugar, water purification, de- odorization of dry cleaning fluids, de- colorization of edible fats and oils, honey, gelatine, glycerine, recovery of gasoline from natural gas, manufac- ture of gas masks, catalytic chemical processes and pharmaceutical prep- erations. Good Commercial Prospects “The sale of activated carbon in the states bordering North Dakota has reached such proportions,” Dean Har- rington said, “that the manufactur- ing plant located within the state would have a very attractive busi- According to estimates, 500 tons annually are used in sugar refining on the Great Plains territory. The municipal water plants of Grand Forks, Fargo and Minneapolis each ‘use from 60 to 80 tons per year. Orders have been placed by the ‘university for an activating carbon furnace, designed and developed at the university. Patents have been applied for on the furnace and ex- periments to simplify the procedure for testing the efficiency of activated carbon are progressing steadily, Dean Harrington said. When this small Plant is operating, cost data will be obtained which will permit definite Plans for the construction of a full scale plant. Flasher Will Graduate Largest Senior Class George F. Shafer, former governor of North Dakota, will deliver the commencement address for the larg- est graduating class in the history of the Flasher high school.

Cos- tumes are by Pearl Craigue. Tony Sarg, after years of experience with puppet shows, declares that cir- cus clowns and marionettes occupy the same places in the hearts of all people, for without a name or a face of distinction, they win friends through their antics, their whimsical expressions and their friendly ges- tures, Began Career in England In his childhood days, Tony Sarg first had his attention drawn to pup- pets by a book describing the early English shows. The first important puppet show he ever saw was staged in 1914 by the Holdens in London. The Holdens had been masters of the art for generations and were the in- ventors of puppets with flexible mid- dies. From the interest aroused by this performance grew Sarg’s deter- mination to build marionettes of his own. At that time, he was living in the Old Curiosity Shop made famous by the Dickens book of that title. The abilities of the first marionettes as- tonished even their designer, for they could move with great agility by means of his perfected mechanism. They could blow smoke out of their mouths, roll their eyes, play musical instruments and dance. From their very first performance in the Old Curiosity Shop studio they were a success.
