-. THE. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. {CHEMISTS PRODUCE tMILK SHOE BUCKLE Mew Industry of Casein Plastics Described to American Society. Bv the Associated Press. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., September 14. »~The shoe buckle that you wear may e a part product of cow’s milk. This is one example of the work Adone by chemical research to increase national wealth, as described at the ‘annual meeting here of the American Chemical Society, which held its busi- ness session today and adjourned. by-products of milk were de- seribed by Dr. G. E. Holm, head chem- ist, Bureau of Dairy Industry, United | States Department of Agriculture. Dis- | cussing research in casein, the white part of milk, he said: “A new industry ‘of casein plastics has been developed in recent vears. It is used in many cases as substitutes for Torn, ivory, celluloid, ebony, pearl, am- ber and fortoise shells. Many of the staples and novelty articles, such as beads, buckles, buttons, combs, cigarette | holders, cuff links, dominoes, dice, toilet articles. fountain pen barrels, penhold- ers, pipestems, and so forth, now con- tain casein products.” W. S. Hilpert of Chicago told how | the breakfast food industry found a use | for husks formerly thrown away. The chomists set out to solve this waste with the idea that the might convert husks into feed for cows. During the | experiments they discovered that they could make farfural from the husks. | /This is a valuable chemical solvent, and | proved sufficiently profitable to take | care of the husks without finding how to_convert them into feed. Next Spring’s meeting f the society was_announced for Columbus, Ohio, in April, the Fall meeting at Minneapolis in September. and the 1930 Spring meeting at Atlenta in April. It was voted to continus the Institute of Chemistry for the next two years. This institute ‘met, last Summer at North- western University, Evanston, IIl. WORKERS WARNED OF OFFICE THEFTS Col. Grant Cautions Government Employes Not to Leave Money Out. So many thefts of the personal prop- erty of Government employes in public buildings have occurred recently, that Jieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of the office of public buildings and pub= | Yic parks, has issued an order asking the ! ‘co-operation of the employes in ferret- | ing out those responsible, pointing out that the guard force is handicapped by the lack of clues. He indicated to employes that the number of thefts was on the increase, | and he said today that they are not | confined to any particular group of buildings, and added that persons leav- ing money in clothing in cloak rooms, Jockers, unlocked desks or on desk tops during lunch periods or when absent from their rooms were usually the vic- tims. He said that a number of recent thefts have occurred from persons who are in the habit, after arriving at the office, of leaving their pocketbooks on the tops of their desks and then going to the washrooms. The same procedure, he | added, happens in many cases at about 4:30 in the evening. While his office, he says, is primarily charged with the protection of Govern- ment property, it is also desirous of co- operating in the. protection of personal property of the occupants of the build- ings, but in order to make this effective, it is necessary that the co-operation of all concerned be secured by carefully guarding pay envelopes, jewelry and other belongings of value while in the buildings. He asks that employes promptly report all such thefts. DOGS AID CAPTURE OF 3 BOY ROBBERS ‘Workhouse Guards Find Trio in Swamp After Occoquan Store Is Broken Into. Special Dispatch to The Star.
