PARAFFIN WAX MADE INTO OIL FOR AIRPLANES Chemists Claim Synthetic Lubricant Better Than Petroleum Product. Paraffin wax, the substitute for chewing gum in the days of Daniel Boone and the Landing of the Pilgrims, became an oil for airplane engines today at the meeting of American Chemical Society. The man-made lubricating oil is claimed to be superior to the oil separated out of crude petroleum. This accomplishment, which further allows the oil producer to fit, his product to the market regardless of his crude oil supply, was reported to the society by F. W. Sullivan, V. Voorhees, A. W. Neely and R. V. Shankland, chemists of the i Standard Oil Company of Indiana. I It costs more money to make at present. But it can be made in desired viscosity, it has the desired pale straw color, it does not oxidize i easily, and it Is more resistant to temperature changes than any known natural oil. Now Complex Mixtures In developing the new lubricant, the chemists first determined through theory and experiment just what kind of hydrocarbons would make the best lubricating oil. Lubricating oils now in general use are complex mixtures of natural hydrocarbons left after gasoline and kerosene are distilled away and the asphaltic and waxy materials are separated. They found that the 1 they wanted had its molecules uie up of approximately two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom, and in its chemical formula the carbon atoms were arranged in a long j chain. Having thus designed their ! new oil, the next job was to build it in accordance with the chemical blueprint. In looking around for raw materials out of which to make the new oil, grain alcohol was considered and discarded. Finally paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product itself was selected. It must be put j through an intricate pricess. ‘Cracked' in Some Wav First it is “cracked” in much the same way that heavy fractions of crude petroleum are treated to yield gasoline sufficient to keep America’s autos moving. This produces compounds known as olefines, which when combined by a process the chemist calls polymerization, yield the desired oils. At present the new synthetic lubricant is being given special jobs such as the oiling of gear shifts, shock absorbers and airplane engines. Other chemists reported improvements in the fuels used in autos. Lloyd Withrow and T. A. Boyd of the General Motors research laboratories, Detroit, told how they hod attached a special photographic device t oa gasoline engine in order to get a moving picture of how the explosions within the cylinder proceeds. llicy discovered just what makes an engine knock when it is using the wrong kind of fuel or laboring un a hill. In both a nonknocking and knocking explosion the firing of the charge starts the same way. It starts at the spark plug and moves outward. The knock is produced when the fuel, after having started to burn relatively slowly, suddenly ignites, increasing the pressure and causing the knock. Group meetings of the various divisions of chemistry in the society continued today with a breakfast session of divisional officers this morning in the Claypool.

"We’re not going to be married April 1 at all,” the letters explained, “because we’ve been married since last Jan. 13.” The Swansons left for Bermuda on a belated honeymoon in time to escape the wrath of those who had bought new dress suits or evening gowns for the wedding.
