RUBBER SECTION OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY. 



The plan to make the Rubber Section of the American 

 Chemical Society a division of that society is beginning to 

 lake shape. By-laws similar to those of the other divisions 

 have been drawn up for consideration by the executive com- 

 mittee, and the whole matter will be presented to the council 

 of the American Chemical Society at the meeting in Buffalo 

 in .'\pril. 



It seems inadvisable to hold a meeting of the Rubber Section 

 at that time, but preparations for the annual fall meeting are 

 already in the making. The executive committee realizes fully 

 that the success of this and every meeting depends upon the 

 work of the rubber chemists of the country; that it is condi- 

 tional upon their opportunities for original work in their special 

 lines ; and that it is sustained by the freedom with .which the 

 various problems confronting all arc discussed. Secretary? ,. 



Arnold H. Smith is therefore getting in touch with the rubber 

 chemists of the country in an effort to have every laboratory 

 head at the next meeting, which it is desired to make an es- 

 pecially active and interesting one. 



The members of the executive committee are : John B. 

 Tuttle, chairman ; Dr. David Spence, George Oenslager, L. E. 

 Weber, H. E. Simmons, L. H. Plumb and A. H. Smith, secre- 

 tary, Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C. 



The jar-ring committee of the Rubber Section is working in 

 active cooperation with the Department of Agriculture and it 

 is expected that some announcement concerning its activities 

 will be made in the near future.
