The New 2nd Edition

WERTHEIMOrganic Chemistry

Ready May 1, 1945

By E. WERTHEIM, PH.D.Professor of Organic Chemistry, University of Arkansas

This new edition of WERTHEIM'S ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is intended for students who willmajor in chemistry or specialize in organic chemistry and for those enrolled in premedical orchemical engineering courses. It provides ample material for a full year's work.

A number of well planned improvements have been made. The order of some chapters has beenrearranged and several topics shifted to facilitate use of the book. The text throughout has beenbrought up-to-date and many excellent new aids to study added. These include pictures of mo-lecular models of organic substances, new tables, new charts, many review questions and numeri-cal problems. Tables of constants, and other data have been reworked and brought up-to-date.More emphasis is given important subjects by the use of bold face type, and space has been savedby the use of new type sizes in the laboratory directions. Scientific data have been rechecked andextended, and the latest Atomic Weights incorporated. 187 more review questions and 224 moreliterature references are included.

The author's Laboratory Guide for Organic Chemistry, 2nd Edition, provides a wide variety ofsuitable experiments for use with this text.

It is equally valuable inthe preservation of serums and labile biologicals. Themethod is one of Drying by Sublimation* underhigh vacuum.

Over 10 years ago Stokes, in conjunction with theUniversity of Pennsylvania and Sharp and Dohme,pioneered in the development of equipment for usecommercially as well as for laboratory and hospital.fJour. of Immunology, Vol. 50. No. I. 1945

Today, more than 275 Stokes units are in use on allkinds of products in universities, research laboratories,government health services, hospitals and commercialplants throughout the United States, and 24 foreigncountries.

Stokes engineers and manufactures complete equip-ment for this process, from test tube to full-scaleproduction capacity.Facilities and authoritative assistance are availablefor research, development and application of dessica-tion from the frozen state.

"I deliberately smeared 10 minims of machine oil on a condenser lens and re-moved every vestige of it with two sheets of dry tissue"-John Adam Knight,N. Y. Post, 1/14/43 in his column "Photography.'?

ROSS-ADAMS Lens Tissues represent a radical departurefrom the usual Japanese style lens tissues. They are smooth,dense and thin as compared with the soft, porous Japanesestyle lens tissues. Some of the features are given below:

FEATURES...ROSS-ADAMS Lens Tissues are specially processed, dense, and have consid-erable tensile strength. They will not disintegrate with manipulation. Thesurface of the tissue is smooth, thereby tending to prevent abrasive dust par-ticles from becoming embedded in the paper. They have an unusual grease-absorbing quality, easily removing fingermarks and other oils and greasesfrom lenses. Unlike soft and porous lens tissues, ROSS-ADAMS tissues willnot permit body oils from the fingers to smear the surface being cleaned. Thisproperty can be readily tested by wiping eyeglasses. A single sheet will effec-tively clean a much greater area than will soft tissues which usually requireseveral thicknesses. The tissues are free of vegetable or mineral filler andcompletely non-abrasive. The density and great strength of these tissueseliminate the breakdown of the fibers-or linting.ROSS-ADAMS Lens Tissues are now widely used by our armed forces and bymanufacturers of precision optics, and have been tested and approved by in-dependent laboratories, various U. S. government agencies, and leading lensmanufacturers. A B

Physics students at Haverford College, using two L&N Resistance Boxesand an L&N Adjustable Mica Capacitor.

Resistance Boxes For Student UseHaverford College physics students have for

many years used these and other L&N laboratoryinstruments to conduct their experiments. Theequipment shown above, a simple a-c bridge net-work to determine the characteristics of a capaci-tor, has withstood hard student use for almost 14years-and still maintains its initial accuracy andshows little signs of wear. Three L&N instru-ments are used in this measurement: two resis-tance boxes (a 3-dial and 4-dial box), and anAdjustable Mica Capacitor. A telephone is em-ployed as a balance detector.

Both resistance boxes have enclosed switches,and can be used in d-c or low frequency a-c mea-surements. Resistors are mounted in rotary-switch 5-coil decades, each of which provides azero position and nine steps of resistance change.Jrl Ad EB43(2)

Limit of error in the resistance boxes is ±(0.1% +0.01 ohm).

Our No. 1058 Adjustable Mica Capacitor isdirect reading, with a total capacitance of 1 micro-farad in five sections: 0.5, 0.2, 0.2, 0.05, 0.05 pf.Knife switches on the top plate connect sec-tions in various series and multiple combinations.Limit of error is ± 0.25%.

L&N laboratory instruments are so constructedthat the student can easily remove the top plate,to which the internal parts are /attached, andstudy the bus-bar wiring of the instruments.

We'll be glad to send Broadside E, listing thecomplete line of L&N instruments for research,teaching, and testing.

FULL EMPLOYMENT AFTER THE WAR: HOW TOACHIEVE IT AND MAINTAIN IT'

By Dr. JOSEPH MAYERBROOKINGS INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON, D. C.

INTRODUCTORYON September 10, the first comprehensive official

statement on postwar reemployment appeared in thepublic press in a report made by War MobilizationDirector Byrnes. This statement gives even morepoint to the proposals offered in the following pages,in that the major unemployment problems soon toconfront the nation seemed to be given short shrift.Director Byrnes asserted that only the "fears of timidpeople" stand in the way of continued employmentat the present high levels and that "the present na-tional income' should be maintained.'Address of the retiring vice-president and chairman

of Section L of the American Association for the Ad-vancement of Science (1943). The views-expressed in thisaddress are those of. the author and do not necessarilyrepresent the views of his institution.

At about the same time the public was advised thatone million soldiers and four million war workers willlose their jobs soon after X-day, the day the Nazis aredefeated. Putting millions of breadwinners back towork in peacetime occupations on short notice will beno mean job.

Furthermore, our present war-level national incomeof 160 billions can not be maintained after the warwithout an enormous monetary inflation which nobodywants. Going back to the 40-hour week and returningmillions of youngsters, housewives and oldsters toschool, housework and retirement will of themselvesreduce the present national income very considerably.The proper postwar employment and income outlookshould not -be in terms of wartime over-employmentand consequent over-production, but in terms of what
