Tissues Regenerated.
Dr. Schotte mentioned that liz­
ards regenerate their tails but not
their legs, birds regenerate their
feathers, and mammals their hair,
nails, hooves and claws.
Because we know from human ex­
perience that the loss of a leg, arm
or a finger is irreparable, Dr.
Schotte declared, it has been said
that mammals, including man, do
not possess the faculty to regen­
erate. But this is not correct, he
asserted.
"We do regenerate our tissues and
quite effectively so,” he pointed out.
"Wound healing is, in the scientific
sense, a process of regeneration,
and vve all know how extensive the
repair of parts of organs in muscles
and particularly In bones can be.
Still, while injured muscle regen-^
erates a little, and while a fractured;

Contractor for Concrete Work
Make Rubber to
Last a Lifetime
New Product Is Unveiled;
Tires to Outlast Truck»
Foreseen.
NEW YORK.—The General Elec­
tric company recently indulged In
predictions of these things to come:
a garden hose that can be left in
the garden, winter and summer,
forever; a truck tire that will outlast
the truck for which It is made; a
golf ball that the late John D.
Rockefeller Sr. could have played
all his life and bequeathed to his
grandchildren.
The material from which these
things might be made was demon­
strated to a press conference In the
Engineers club by Dr. A. Lincoln
Marshall, head of the chemical sec­
tion of the General Electric Re­
search laboratory at Schenectady,
N. Y.
It is called a silicone rubber and
the government released it from the
secret list. All the present produc­
tion, from "what might be called •
large pilot plant” at Schenectady,
Is going into war poduction. Mean­
while, the company has not been
behind hand In foreseeing postwar
uses and future possible adaptaUon»
of the product.
Mechanical Problems,
Largely unexplored since Its dis­
covery more than 40 years ago, the
field of silicon chemistry was probed
by General Electric in a search
for the answers to two mechanical
problems presented by the military.
Gaskets of natural or synthetic
rubber for superchargers on the
army’s B-29 bombers became brit­
tle uftcr extended operations at 302
degrees Fahrenheit. Asbestos gas­
kets on 24-inch searchlights, coor­
dinated with big guns of the navy,
broke with the shock when tha guns
let go.
Silicone rubber, company officials
said, eliminated those difficulties.
The compound, known chemically
as dimethyl silicone, crosses, or
mixes, inorganic and organio sub­
stances. Its molecular backbone is
composed of alternate silicon and
oxygen atoms similar to ths quartz
molecule, which gives it a high
resistance to heat. Introduction of
two methyl groups to each silicon
atom results in a compound which
also lias plasticity and elasticity«
Stands Great Heat.
Natural and other synthetic rub­
bers deteriorate rapidly at temper­
atures above 212 degrees Fahren­
heit, the boiling point of water. Dr.
Marshall reported that silicone rub­
ber has been subjected to a temper­
ature of 302 degrees for 75,000 hours
"and appears to be as flexible as
aver.”
*
Sand and natural gas, the basic
raw materials of silicone rubber,
are plentiful and comparatively
cheap, Dr. Marshall pointed out.
His colleague, E. L. Feinlnger, man­
ager of the resin and insulating ma­
terials division of General Electric,
added that while the present cost of
manufacture is perhaps ten times
that of synthetic rubber, that fig­
ure can be greatly reduced through
mass production In peacetime.
.ave you ever seen a manufacturing plant
that turned snow into war power? Few have. Yet the
Portland General Electric Company operates several
such “factories” for war power, in addition to being
the largest distributor of Bonneville Power. PGE was
* *
given the assignment to supply warpower to 67,000 war
jobs and 20,000 war farms. Power must reach these
vital destinations in an uninterrupted steady stream.

Not only that, when he can

his utter dismay, that the price has
suddenly gone up 50 per cent.
