The Hermiston Herald New Discovery May Aid in Ageing Liquor Published Every Thursday at Hermiston, Umatilla County, Oregon. Alfred Quiring and Leander Quiring, Publishers. Discovery of a "chemical dice game" may lead to improvements in the ageing of wines and liquors, the American Chemical society was told recently. Dr. George Calingaert, of Detroit, chemical research director of the Ethyl Gasoline corporation, also re ported that other new fields in or ganic chemistry would be opened by his findings which show that, contrary to past experience, organ ic compounds of the same class will react with one another through use of proper catalysts. Quantities of the products formed, he said, are determined by the same mathematical laws of chance which enable gamblers to foretell odds in a dice game. He explained that when a pair of dice is thrown many times, the number seven will appear twice aS often as the num ber ten, and three times as often as eleven or three. Dr. Calingaert reported that the atoms “fall” into position in the same random way and that the dis covery "all but shakes the founda tions of our concepts of the behavior of atoms in molecules." Such a reaction may hold the key to some processes known to take place, but for which no satisfactory explanation has been advanced, he said. “It is well known that some chem ical process occurs after barrelling or bottling (of liquor), the result of which is readily detected by taste.” The action occurs though the ma terials present are chemically inert to one another and Calingaert pre dicted that a better understanding of this ageing process will lead to improvement in wines and liquors.
