A catalyst is a chemical go-between that promotes the combi- nation of other elements or com: pounds without itself .becoming part of the combination. How this is brought about is somewhat of a mys- ate as they do is exploited in many | industrial chemical processes, such as synthetic production of ammonia from the nitrogen of the air. | Foreign chemists, in their writings and at scientific’ meetings, have talked quite frankly about the pro-| portions of hydrogen and carbon monoxide used in their preparations, about other details, but when ame to the secret part have said something like this: “Then the gas sed over a catalyst.” Neves they told what the catalyst was, nor its propor- tions and the important details of preparation, Chemists Probe for Catalysts. So these three Government chem- ists, in the laboratory of the Mines Bureau, set to work to discover just what catalysts could be used to make artificial petroleum. They tried six different catalysts, all of them mix- 1 finely divided a great deal of sur tion of the gases.

Still the search continues in the Government laboratory, and there is hope that ultimately’ the jealously guarded se- cret of the commerclal laboratories will be discovered.

Appropriations for a new school in the Edgewood section of the city were recommended by the Edgewood Citizens’ Association at its first meet- ing of the Fall season, last night in the Lincoln Road Methodist Episco- pal_Church. K. P. Armstrong of the Citizens' Advisory Council addressed the meet-| ing on the subject of obtaining ap- propriations for that section. President George R. Marble ten-| dered his resignation on the grounds that he did not have sufficient time to carry out the duties of the office. The resignation was accepted and Frank Murphy, vice president, will act as head of the assoclation until the January meeting, when a new president_will be chosen. E. S. Brown was appointed chair- man of the association’s public utili- ties committee. ROCHESTER RESIGNS. Secretary of Oil Board Retires December 1. | Resignation of Edward S.
