The Liquid Carbonic Division of the Com- 

 pressed Gras Manufacturers' Association an- 

 nounces the establishment of an industrial fel- 

 lowship in the Mellon Institute of Industrial 

 Research of the University of Pittsburgh, for 

 the purpose of classifying, studying and de- 

 veloping the uses for liquid icarbon dioxide. 

 The founding of this fellowship is in accord 

 Avith ithe desire of the members of the associa- 

 tion lo cooperate with users and prospective 

 users of liquid carbon dioxide, with the object 

 of developing efficient means of applying the 

 gas and of obtaining fundamental data bearing 

 on its use in various industries. In addition to 

 conducting research work, the fellowship will 

 be made a clearing-house of infoi-mation re- 

 garding various uses of liquid carbon dioxide, 

 and data will be kept on file for tihe accommo- 

 dation of prospective usei-s of this product. 

 The present incumbent of the fellowship is 

 Charles L. Jones, who will be glad to corre- 

 spond with any one interested in the use of 

 liquid carbon dioxide in industry.
