Monday by President P. D. Becluniesttr, with nearly 200 dele* fstn and members present President Buckminster spoke briefly, welcoming the delegates and members, and pointing out the value of the Fed* ration and the benefits to be obtained ty attending the annual meetings. He men turned the meeting over to P. J. Whiteway, chairman of the Central Program committee, who presided over the Monday sessions, which were de* sued chiefly to the presentation of the tleb paper*. Copies of these were dis tributed at the meetings and aa a result the discussions that followed each paper were very lively and interesting. The first paper presented was that of the Sc Lewis dub, read by R. W. Freiie, on "The Effect of Different Methods of Application with Different Woods en the Durability of Spar Var* aithc*". This paper was a summary f the re*ulu obtained from a pre liminary study of how heat to varnish wood surfaces exposed to the elements. Fhrc different woods ware selected and panels prepared for exposure tests in m accelerated weathering machine. The aaae varnish was naed in every case but the method or procedure for finishing the panels was varied. One set of panels was primed with linaeed oil and another with varnish that had been reduced with turpentine. Some were given two coats, others three and all the panels were then exposed. A summary of the results indicated the need of simplification because of the many variables encountered in the study of this problem. Some interest* ing poinfs developed which were men* tinned aa a matter of interest only, were that thinned varnish aa a priming coat oo yellow pine and cypress gave better results than boiled linseed oil, that three coat* of varnish were far superior to two coats at to durability, and that the varnish on the spruce panels disintegrated much slower than on any of the other woods osed. The St Louis club stated that dur ing the coming year the work would be continued but that only a small por tion of the problem would be taken to insure more definite results, In the discussion that followed many valuable points were brought out which will aid materially in the study of the problem. The importance of properly sealing the ends of exposure panels was mentioned and it was recommend ed that they be given four coats of Cummings Collins Clark Passes On After Brief Illness PUUMINGS COLLINS managing editor of the American '-f CLARK, 28, vice-president Paint Journal, and following the and general manager of tbe Amer sudden and tragic death o I ican Paint Journal Company, Chartea-Aiteo Clark on January passed away last Tuesday morn 27, 1928. he became tbe general ing, October 8, after a week's ' manager, in which capacity ho illness with pneumonia He con demonstrated marked ability in tracted a stubborn cold about ! enlivening tbe hutitutioo'e activi- three weeks ago, following a ton . ties and in instituting new plana sil operation, forits further de- and two weeks ' velopment aa an ago he wax agency of aeTr forced to bis ice to the paint bed.

The question of ap* Slication of film thickness was also rought out and its effect. It was also suggested that the type of adherence of varnish to wood, whether cohesion or adhesion, be investigated, also the physical effect of the primers on the varnishes as to hardening, etc. The next paper presented was that of the Louisville club, on "The Use of Synthetic Retina in Lacquers sod Var* nisiici", Thii paper, read by A. K. fiiauriermen. was eenrinuetlun of the same subject studied in 1928, the re sult* of which were publiihed in Cir* cular No, 541 of the Scientific Section. The subject dealt with the uses of synthetic resins in both lacquers and varnishes. Comparative samples of varnishes and lacquers were made using Amberoi, Ester Gum, Congo Ester, Rexyl No. 11 end No. 12, Glytal Resin RC1I9, Retyl Balsam No. 119, Taglac, lime hardened rosin, etc. These amulet were then applied and exposed io the customary manner and the re sults given. The conclusions 'showed that the accelerated testing cabinet cannot bo relied upon to give accurate information; that Amberoi for var nishes is greatly superior to Ester Gum and Congo Ester; and that Congo Ester is better than Ester Gam. It was also stated that 2S per cent linseed oil and 7S per cent china wood oil In creased the gloss when used in var nishes over straight china wood oil varnishes. In the interesting discussion that followed Frank Schumann pointed out a discrepancy in the conclusions and the result of one test which it was explained was due to a variation in body of Uio varnish used, aa all the samples were made io the laboratory in two gallon batches ami It was difficult to maintain the proper conditions. In arriving at the conclusions H develop ed that ratings were based principally on the gloss of the pigment enamels, tbe vehicle being the varnish after exposure. Kenneth 1. Howe suggested that more work be dooo tn determine the merit of a mixture of Hosted oil and china wood oil over straight linseed oil. It was also suggested by Ralph Everett that tbe effect of the different varnishes on settling of the pigmented enamels be observed. After this paper. Dr. Allen Rogers, director of scientific research at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, addressed the meeting on "The Necessity of Research io Our Industry", Dr. Rogers pointed out the progrest being made in our in dustry along research lines and gave an outline of the various sources from which the industry U obtaining valu able aid. He mentioned the activities of the American Society for Testing Materials, particularly that of Com mittee D! and Its sub-committees and the great value of their work; the American Chemical Society In scien tific research, and the production dubs in practical application. He stated further that tbt industry should encourage the study of our industry's scientific problems In the schools and pointed out some of the good work now bring done In that direction. . Following a brief recess, the Toronto ehibt paper oe "A Comparative Study of Varnish Firm" was rsad by J. M. Laagtoot Thk paper gave data la reference to tbe comparative coat of fuel, using oH. coke ana |U Aset. Tbs data waa com. plied from tbe result* obtained with many lypaa of heating equipment from different sources. Figures were given thawing the coat per Eaton for tod. ps burners west approximately ID per cent cheaper than coke Arcs to operate. In the discussion that followed, several members verified the above, stating such had been their experience in comparing the two. Otto Mdttio stated that the new dome shaped Gilbert burner was much superior to the older model. The next paper was that of the Chi cago chib, on "A Practical Varnish Plant," read by H. Roy Ayna. This paper endeavored to outlioa a plant whHh would ba practical and operate at a law coat, producing varnieh of good quality. The plant is designed to produce I25.1MD gallons of varnish as follows: *5,000 ga&>f for Ihe paint department and 60,000 gallons for ootsido sales, 10,- 000 gallons of the tatter to bo can goods In one gallon aha or test, the balance, 50400 galleon, in drums and tank cats. Provision is mads for tbo complete manufacture of them products, hecikdlng the handling and storage of raw and finished products, cooking and thinning, filling and shipping and all equipment. The building recommended is four stories high, approximately 100 feet quart, with 20-foot cslltegi; tbe oik and thinning Uquide U ba Moved In tanka in tbe baamwnt or outside la tbe yards and arranged if possible, so that tank earn can be emptied by gravity.
