Science 'lakes Plastic Glass

PITTSBURGH, (UP) — A new flexible, water-clear plastic called •‘Pontalite” that is as strong as glass and can resist tenison of four to five and a half tons a square inch was described today by H. R. Dittmar of 'he Du Pont Company before the American Chemical Society. The non-shattering plastic is Scnown to chemists; as methyl methacryiate polymer. It is only half as heavy as ordinary glass, as clear as optical glass and can be sawed, cut, drilled, polished or molded into any desired form. Dittmar said a factory fo. ‘'pontalite” manufacture is undor construction and production ii scheduled to begin early in 19.T7. Because *he plastic transmits a large proportion of ultra-violet rays from the sun. it may be used where such a characteristic is desired. Dittmar said solutions of the plastic and the liquid intermediate, form have been used successfully as impregnants for wood, cloth, paper, tone and electrical apparatus. Materials treated in this way are more resistant to water, oils and chemicals. ‘‘Pontalite’’ can be burned, be said, but is not inflammable In the ordinary sense. Many chemical variations can be produced, varying from hard, heat-resistant solids to heavy visous liquids. “The transparency, brilliance,

strength and permanence of ‘Pontalite’ are unusual,” Dittmar said. “And the absence of color permits fabrication into delicate tinted shades. By combining dyes and pigments, varying degrees of color and transparency can be obtained. “The value of the plastic is enhanced by the ease with which it can be worked, and the glass-like transparency suggests many uses where strength, lightness and ultra-violet transmission are desired.” Softball News

Midwest earned the right to represent the National league in the city softball series when they defeated Zinc Mill 6 to 1 in a playoff for the league championship last night. Midwest, in topping the league, has a record of thirteen games won and three lost. Errors proved to be the downfall of the Zinc Mill team as eight miscues were responsible for all six of the Midwest runs. In the fifth inning Zinc Mill committed five errors which allowed Midwest to score four runs and put the game on ice. George Taylor, pitching tor Midwest. held Zinc Mill to two hits. The one run scored off of his delivery was unearned and came in the third inning the result of an error Tonight Midwest meets Lone Star, the Federal League champion, in a double header to determine the city championship. If a third game is necessary, it will be played Sunday afternoon The first game this evening is called for 7 o’clock.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash.— Dr. Fred Murphy, “rhododendron king” of the state, is attempting to develop a fragrance for the now scentless rhododendron, Washington's state flower. He received from the high Himalaya Mountains a collection of 200,000 rhododendron seeds of numerous varieties, some of which were scented. “It may take a dozen generations of cross-breeding,” Dr. Murphy said, “but I believe the native rhododendron can develop a scent that will match its beauty.” IF MERCURY HITS 90 MIAMI WILL GIVE FREE DRINKS MIAMI, Fla., (UP)—The Chamber of Commerce wagered today against the weather.

CHINESE DECRY MOVIE KISSING OF AMERICANS

NEW YORK <UP'— Americans take oil and machinery to China, butj if they could just teach the Chinese to kiss in the American manner it would probably mean millions of dollars in additional revenue for motion picture producers. This, at least, is the thought of Lewis Milestone, who directed Paramount's “The General Died At Dawn.” “While making the picture,” Milestone said, "I retained the services of several Chinese scholars. With their advice I thought I might avoid what Chinese audiences always detect as ludicrous anachronisms. Wc were successful up to a certain point, even managing to compromise on certain customs and practices which are diametrically opposites in the two countries. But when we came to the love-making scenes we reached the parting of the ways. “My Chinese authorities simply shook their heads every time I would look to them for approval.” Milestone then pointed out that although China’s population is four times that of the United States, approximately 60 times more Americans than Chinese go to the movies. The director conceded that the serious economic situation in China naturally has something to do with it, but he insisted that if Hollywood could get China to accept American kissing, film interest in the Orient would rise greatly.

POPULAR PRICES IN HAWAII FOR TOURISTS URGED

HONOLULU (UP)—Hawaii should lower its sights to the “average man’s” pocketbook for a new and most important source of tourist trade, believes W. A. Harriman, chairman of the board of the Union

Pacific Railway.

The wealthy tourist is fickle and goes where the whim takes him but the lower-bracket traveler is more consistant, he says. “Some means should be provided for his transportation to the islands and low priced accommodations for his comfort after he gets here”, Harriman said. | “A new social order is arising j throughout the world today, not only | in Europe but in the United States I as well,” he said. “It is based upon a spreading of the w'ealth, an idea seized by the late Huey Long. “While Huey’s share-the-wealth cry was ridiculed, we nevertheless must recognize the fact that the average man will continue to come into more benefits. You will find he will want to use some of these benefits in traveling. Fares and accommodation rates should therefore be regulated for him accordingly.”
