Abstract
THE London Section of the Society of Chemical Industry has recently established what for lack of a better term we must call a club-that is, a society of its members and their friends, who seek to combine a chastened conviviality with an interest in technical chemistry. At a meeting of the club, held on May 21, Mr. M. C. Lamb, by permission of the Director of Army Contracts, brought to the knowledge of the members the various methods that have been sug gested in order to utilise the leather in condemned Army boots, and which, in the absence of proper organisation, might lead, when we have regard to the present magnitude of our Army, to an enormous waste of material of considerable intrinsic value, even after it has served its primary purpose as footwear.
