• 3_5 Years Ado The Journal of Oil and Fat Industries as a quarterly

ceased to exist with the October issue, according to an announcement in the October 1925 issue of the Journal, and becomes a monthly magazine with Miller Freeman of New York, San Francisco, and Seattle, as publisher: "to Messrs. Clnff and Morrison the Society is indebted for this arrangement, which will give the members a monthly magazine, without any of the responsibility for its financing."

The editor adds in a "Bon Voyage" note that "it may be a bit harder to fill a nmnthly with all high-grade articles by men such as C. A. Browne, George S. Jamieson, Arthur Holmes, Glen Pickard, Dr. Wesson, and others who have been our contributors in the past, but it can be done if the whole Society is heartily behind their official organ."

The new Zoom 70 Stereoscope is announced by Bausch and Lomb Inc., Rochester, N.Y., as the first instrument of its type to incorporate zoom magnification in a stereoscope for photo interpretation.

Johnson's Wax has established a subsidiary in Switzer- land, known as Johnson's Wax Fabrik A.G., Weiningen, a suburb of Zurich.

Soap Papers Invited "~ N PREPARATION for the May 1961 meeting of the Ameri- | can Oil Chemists' Society in St. Louis soap and deter- .at. gent papers are solicited on manufacturing techniques, synthesis, and surface chemistry and measurements by J. C. Harris, Monsanto Chemical Company, Dayton, 0., chairman of the soap and detergent area program. Assist- ing him are L. O. Leenerts, Purex Corporation, South Gate, Calif., and A. J. Stirton, Eastern Regional Research Labo- ratory, Philadelphia, Pa.

The presentations should cover original work and should be free of the advertising or promotional approach. They should not be based on secret or restricted information which might require a very general treatment that would impair their value.

This announcement is presented very early to permit adequate time for preparation and completion of in-process research and to form the basis of an integrated program of activities in this area. A later notice will indicate ab- stract and paper deadlines, giving further detail.
