A good many people have had the idea of burning water?extracting the hydrogen by separating the H2 from the O. It has been tried in this country, South America,. Europe and perhaps elsewhere in an experimental way, but it is too expensive to be used in anything except a few experimental cars. By bacterial processes some English cities are extracting methane gas from sewage and using it to generate electric power and as motor fuel. The methane gas is compressed into steel chambers under pressure of 3,000 pounds to the square Inch. With some changes in the automobile's cylinders and fittings, two 115pound tubes filled with methane provide a cruising range of about 85 miles. On the basis of a gallon of gasoline, methane produced in Germany costs about 51 cents. . Motor vehicles can be converted into gas consuming types for $150 to $300, including installation of racks to hold the cylinder tanks, regulation of valves to control gas flow, and replacement of the regular carburetor by a special gas-air mixer. Egg Co. Could Repair Old 'Humpty Dumpty* The trouble with Humpty Dumpty is that he was born too soon. If he had met with his widely publicized accident within, say, the past 10 years, he'd never have turned to such inexperienced people as the king's horses and the king's men to put him together again. He'd have flashed word to a Springfield, Mo., company, and they'd have fixed him up without batting an eye. For 10 years this company _has been breaking eggs, separating them into powdered whites and yolks and then putting them together again?without the shells. They've spent more than a million dollars in research, since the industry in this country is only about 10 years old, although the Chinese have been powdering eggs for untold centuries. The plant in Springfield, as well as another in Fort Worth, Texas, have stepped up their pace recently, working on orders for the government. The department of agriculture is shipping 26,100,000 dozen eggs in powdered form to Britain under terms of the Lend-Lease act, and the army is demanding some, too. After the war, when the product becomes available for home use, this industry will probably be one of the fastest-growing in the country. Unique World Clock The exact time in Tokyo, Moscow, Iceland, Berlin, London, Tahiti and any point on the face of the globe, is told at a glance by the pictorial world clock that was put into operation on the first floor of the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History in Boston, it was announced by Prof. William H. Barton Jr., executive curator of the planetarium. / This unique clock was presented to the Hayden planetarium by the International Business Machines corporation. Its face is a large 3foot by 5-foot colored and illuminated map of the world. Black vertical lines on the map indicate the 24 zones of standard time around the globe. Above the map is a tape indicating the hour of the day or night for each time zone. The tape moves automatically to the left at the rate of one time zone per hour. A circle at the top electrically flashes on the minutes. Msss Production Old Mass production, an American idea, was worked out during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson (1801-09) by 38-year-old Eli Whitney in manufacture of army muskets, with funds granted by the congress. Jefferson, the young mechanist's patron, with faith in machinery, private enterprise, and American ingenuity, wrote to James Monroe: "He (Whitney) has invented molds and machines for making all the pieces of his locks (for muskets) so exactly equal that, take 100 locks to pieces and mingle their parts and the 100 locks may be put together by taking the pieces which come to hand." Whitney is better known for tha invention of the cotton gin. Ink Dries Instantly For fast, non-smudge printing, various means have been devised to make ink dry almost instantly when it hits the paper?absorption, evaporation, oxidation, polymeriza- . tion (molecular clustering). In the "flash-dry" process the newly printed paper passes between jets of flame and the liquid part of the ink ignites with a flash, leaving a dry residue. ~ Technology Review (M.I.T.) describes ? new "frozen"ink for porous papers, like newsprint. The ink la solid at room temperature. It is fed like lumps of coal into the press, which heats it to fluidity, at 200 degrees F. On reaching the paper it rapidly coda and T? mam Q1XUX2W? v T _. . ...

CAMDEN 80LDIER PROMOTED TO THE RANK OF C.ORPORAL Enid Army Flying School, Enid, Oklahoma, Feb, 22.?Elton H. Reeves, formeily oTJJamden, S. O., was recently promoted to the rank of corporal at this new army flying school. Reeves, assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, was previously a private with a fourth-class specialist MrtlngL ' . "/? r Philip D. Reed Heads OPM Materials Division AFTER serving tor five months as the Deputy Director ot the Materials Division of the OPM, Philip D. Reed received a salary check tor his services. It amounted to exactly thirty-eight cents. Being a man of sentiment. Reed keeps It in his desk drawer In Washington, Geoffery Hellman discloses in the January Cosmopolitan magazine, but he looks at it from time to time, possibly wondering whether or not he ought to enter it on his income-tax report. Reed is one of the many men, Hellman says, who is contributing his talents to the defense program, and in his present capacity he heads up eight governmental branches having to do with the allocation of raw materials for civilian use. Philip D. Reed Hia work, Hellman writes, calls for constant mediation between the civilian demands of private industry and the needs of national defense, * but the negotiation of compromises is a tonic to him, for as chairman of the Board of General Electric he has had much experience with such matters. This work keeps him in Washington five days a week, and the pace there has left him "happy, but not tired." He describes it as "just a machine gun proposition." What does a top defense executive do for relaxation? Well Reed flies to New York over the weekends. Hellman reports, spends Saturday at hia General Electric office and later retires to his family home at Rye. Here he golfs, tries a game of bridge or plays the piano. He has an excellent ear for music, and friends like to rally round and (ring or just listen while he plays. Playing the piano is an unfailing source of relaxation to him, and whenever he feels the least bit tired or out of sorts after a hard week in Washington he has recourse to this. Its success may he judged by the fact that Mrs. Reed honestly thinks he has the most wonderful disposition of any man she has met. "I*ve never seen him get angry in twenty years," she told Hellman, summing up the period of their entire married life. SENATOR PEPPER TO SPEAK AT EDUCATIONAL MEETING Columbia, Feb. 24.?United States flpnntnr ^1?tirlo A P?nrw>r r?f Florid* will deliver the main address at the opening of the annual convention of the South Carolina .Education association here March 18.

More than 8,000 teachers from all parts of the state are expected to come to Columbia for the meeting, which vtUi be the association's 88th annual gathering. | Jesse T. Anderson of Florenoe Is president of the association, Z. L. Madden of Spartanburg is vice president, and J. P. Coatee of OohmMd Tanker Survivor * Tells of Experience (By Jake Penland, in Columbia State) William (\ Bradford, 211-year old Bruiichvllla youth, mm of Mr. ftud ,-j Mrs. Hurry 1*. Bradford, described hero yoHterdny how ho and 20 other members of the China Arrow, tanker torpedoed February 5 by a Nazi suB? marine while ennmto to an lOaatern port, drifted In lifeboats for 67 hours wondering when and how death would V,' l?o proscribed for them.' * Bradford, who paid a brief visit to ' his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mra.-Wal- v . tor Hush, on Colonial drive, was lu the bath when tho blow struck. The first attack rocked tho 8,403 ton tanker severely and tho effect on members of tho crew, Bradford observed, was similar to that one ho */} once experienced In an automobile wreck. "It happened quickly, nud , : there was excitement, but no panic, as the men instinctively made for the deck," ho Ha Id. ,, Ho said the crew assembled on the deck of the 500-foot long vosael following the surprise torpedoing, took positions at lifeboat stations and abandoned the tanker nt1 the master's or- v der. The lifeboat ho was In, one of tho three, was signaled by tho master to pull up alougsldo tho vessel V for him and the radio operator to board. The three boats then were rowed to a safe distance from the China Arrow, which cuught lire immediately after being Btruek by the torpedo and was soon "blazing away like an inferno", Bradford recalled. The Nazi submarine appeared above the surface and Its crew fired 16 shots [Into the burning tanker to'Insure Us sinking, which occurred about an hour after the first attack. Bradford said the vessel was burning terrifically as it sank. The American crew witnessed the , destruction and crew members wondered aloud "how they will kill us? with shells or machine gun fire," Bradford said, Adding that despite the definite expectancy of death, there was a certain amount of Joking and light-hearted talk. "The Nazis could easily have killed us, but they limited their attack to the tanker and their sub went away as soon as our ship * sunk", he said. ' Soon after the departure of the sub, an American army bomber sighted the crew and dropped a message advising the men to "sl't tight. You will be rescued. We think we got the sub that sank yoh." The bomber crew later reported a hit by one of four bombs dropped when it was observed partly above the water and fn*was "presumed to have been destroyed." The message dropped the crew of the tanker from the bomber was ail empty thermos bottle wrapped In a life preserver. After receiving It, the crew dropped sea anchors to prevent the boats from drifting materially and waited to be rescued. Ono ship was sighted at ft distance of five miles, but It went on its way. r''fi "We remained In the boats for 61: ..''M hours, until late Saturday, when coast guard vessel rescued us," ? Bradford said. During those 57 hours, he recalled "some of the crew pray- . r' ed, others sang. We talked about pretty much everything." The men received their only nour- .u,, ishment from hard soda crackers and -fresh water that had been hastily put In the boats. Some of them were thoughtful enough to bring along dg- v arettes and a few blankets and oyer* coats, but there was water in the boats at times. They were landed on s the coast of Delaware and the men found the solid earth there to be com* fortlng and attractive thing. Bradford, who was boatswain on the tanker, which transported petroleum and petroleum products, now has six weeks' leave of absence. He expects to spend most of that time Just looking at the ground and admiring its security and solidity. ~ V?l And then, back to the aea with another tanker. There's a sailor, all right. ...
