Special Commlltfees Are Formed to

Fostering Research Work.
New York.—America is entering on
an era of industrial research lu which
corporations, large and small, are
linked with government agencies, en
gineering organizations and universi
ties, in a systematic effort to salvage
tlie knowledge gained in war and to
awaken the nation's latent Industrial
and economic power. Hundreds of
plants are fostering these researches,
for which a permanent national sys
tem la being worked out by Engineer
ing Foundation, an Instrumentality of
the United Engineering society to ad
vance the rnpidly developing science
of engineering.
It is only recently, however, that
research has become a really national
undertaking. v
Activity in Industrial research must
he co-ordinated and expanded, said
Robert M. Raymond, professor of min
ing in the schools of mines, engineer
ing and chemistry of Columbia. The
university, said Professor Raymond, la
now conducting Industrial research
which will be of great value te the
nation. Prof. Arthur Ml. Greece ef
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy,
N. Y., chairman of the reeeureh com
mittee ef the American Society of Me
chanical engineers, took the same
view. ,

'iMlritri^' aiftd 'Metallurglcal Engineer^,
"Sjesa^rches already conducted'' tit
Columbia anf oq/whlch work/is now
progressing," Prof^seet' Raymond -udd-
ed, "enabled Prof. William Campbell,
professor of metallury. in the schools
of mines, engineering and cliemtg- 1
latry, to ascertain within n few hours i
jtjst whpt was the mociiaplcal defect
in' the shafts of the German ships
which were overhauled In New York
harbor. As u result of ■ the experi
ments he is ranking In testing the con
struction of nietnls, Professor Camp-
hell ran immediately tell, for exam
ple, in what process the defect In a
piece of stoel arose, and can inform
tho Manufacturer ho\v to correct the
fault.
Experiments in Ores.
"Columbia has recently equipped
an ore-dressing laboratory, in which
Prof. Arthur T. Taggart is conduct
ing experiments in the miration of
ores. The laboratory is so equipped
that both large and small quantities
or ore can he studied. Another Co
lumbia professor, Edward F. Kern, as
sistant professor of metallurgy, is con
ducting experiments in the treatment
of ores. Industrial reasearch is also
being carried on In several other ini- j
portrait fields at Columbia, notable ex-1
amples of Ibis being the work of
Michael E. Pupin, professor of elec
tro-mechanics at Columbia, and Wal
ter I. Sliehter, professor of electrical'
engineering.
“The assertion by government ex
perts that this nation's supply of crude i
oil cannot last for. more than 20 j
years makes increasingly important |
experiments conducted nt Columbia j
n number of- years ago to determine
the amount of gasoline which can be [
drawn from-crude oil and the by
products of tile oil. Research work!
of enormous value to .the nation!
should be done Immediately to nscer-'
tain If a larger percentage of tlie crude
oil could not be used for gasoline. It
would be possible to continue this
work nt Columbia, the logical place for
it. If sufficient funds were available.
"Conservation of the nation's re
sources, which, It is commonly agreed,
we have been using with too lavish a
hand. Is the direct result of n large
amount of research work now being
done. Big Industrial corporations are
taking cognizance of this and introduc
ing new methods for the handling ot
materials. The United States Steel
corporation, which mines the coal
from which they make coke to be used
In the manufacture of steel, Is one ot
the enterprises which hns changed
lta methods as the result of research."
4iis8 Anna K. Woodman, who was
the youngest officer In the British W.
A A. C. during the war, photographed
on her arrival in New York on the
Steamship Caronla for a visit. When
the vessel stopped at Halifax for coal.
Miss Woodman went ashore and was
nearly left behind, for the Caronln
pulled out in the stream. She hired
a launch to get from shore to a coal
barge alongside the Caronla and then
made her way to the vessel via the
coal-chute route. Grimy from coal
dust Mias Woodman appeared on deck
and was congratulated by passengers
who had been watching her perform
the risky stunt. During the war Miss
Woodman was in tha channel trans
port service, making four trips a week
through the submarine-infested wa
ters of tha English channel.
