Abstract
THE production of synthetic organic chemicals for use in research is being developed in America on the same lines as in this country. Laboratories have been specially equipped for the purpose by the Eastman Kodak Company, which makes a number of compounds and purifies others yielded by the chemical industry of the country. In that way some eleven hundred different chemicals are at present available. Although this is only half the number of substances offered by one of the English manufacturers, the effort is meeting with enthusiastic support from men of science in America, and those concerned feel thereby greatly helped and encouraged. In that country, at least, the war-time resolution of independence in the matter of scientific supplies is not forgotten.
