Benzine has been known to the sclentific world since 1825, when the eminent physicist and chemist Fara- day isolated a substance from the residue found in gas retorts which he called at first “bicarburet of hydro- en.” BC X tew drops of Faraday's first prep- aration are still preserved as a his- torical treasure in the Royal Institu- tion in London. The molecule of this substance contains six carbon atoms like hexane and six hydrogen atoms. Ottawa Planning Centenary.

No consideration will be given to applitations received after January Account uncey A call of warning was sounded thia week by Maj. Gen. Charles McK. | Saltzman, chief signal officer of the | Army, relative to an existing critical situation in the proper functioning of | the Signal Corps due to the lack of trained enlisted men in sufficient numbers to operate and maintain Government radio and telephone sys- | tems and for operating other Army Signal Corps activities. Trained men, Gen. Saltzman points out, do not en- list or re-enlist in the Signal Corps as the remuneration for such special- ists in civil life are considerably more attractive. In fact, so financially at- tractive are the offers in civilian life that many of the newly trained men are purchasing their discharges to en- ter the employ of commercial organi- zatlons at higher salaries. This accounts for the large enlisted turnover in the Signal Corps. Work ing under the best of conditions, it {akes at least six months of training to train the best type of recruit be- fore he is of any value to the signal activity of the Army. To overcome this serious shortage in the communi- cation branch of the Regular Army, Gen. Saltzman has suggested two remedies. They are: (1) Increase the number of enlisted men allotted the Signal Corps, or (2) increase the num- r of non-commissioned officers and gscmm ratings.
