Packers Develop Amazing Usages For By-Products — SPORT NEWS PRINCIPAL TITLE HOLDERS IN VARIOUS BRANCHES OF SPORT everything: hut the squeal,” is still the motto of the meat packing in dustry, and truer than ever be fore, but there is more than that to it, says the Institute of Amer ican Meat Packers.

In dry forms the serum Is also used to clear the composition used coating photographic papers. Blood albumen is also used in the manufacture of water-proof glue for veneer work, aeroplane wings and other .special uses. Blood from which the fibrin has been removed la employed to act colors In gingham ond other cot ton goods. Lcucoctytic extract is made from the white corpuscles and la injected in human veins to atlmulnto production of these cor puscles.
