THE PRINTERS' STRIKE AND THE PUBLICA- 

 TION OF "SCIENCE" 



•Science has 'l>eeii issued weekly from the 

 same press without intermission for over 

 twenty-six years, but it is possible that the 

 present number may be delayed. The wide- 

 spread strike of compositors for a forty-four 

 hour week affects the offices at Lancaster, 

 Easton and Baltimore, in which a large part 

 of the scientific journals of the United States 

 are printed. The printing office will do all in 

 its power to bring out the num^ber at the regu- 

 lar time, and at present the pressmen are at 

 work. In order to get the number through the 

 press articles in type are being used with the 

 exception of a few news notes. This unfor- 

 tunately requires the postponement of the pub- 

 lication of accounts of the recent meetings of 

 the National A'eademy of Sciences, the Ameri- 

 can Chemical Society, the Executive Commit- 

 tee of the American Association for the Ad- 

 vancemenlt of Science, the Joint Committee on 

 Conservation and other material of current 

 interest. It may be noted that the advertise- 

 ments are in type, and advertisers have been 

 requested to continue to use the same copy, so 

 that no sacrifice of reading matter is made 

 for the advertisements. The number is, how- 

 ever, reduced by eight pages to facilitate its 

 publication. 



SCIENTIFIC NOTES AND NEWS 



At the recent meeting of the American 

 Chemical Society at Eochester, Professor 

 Charles F. Chandler and Dr. William H. 

 Nichols wea-e unanimously elected honorary 

 members of the society. 



Dr. Simon Elexnee, director of the Eocke- 

 fel'ler Institute for Medical Eesearch, has been 

 elected an honorary fellow of The Eoyal So- 

 ciety of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene of 

 London at a meeting of the council of that 

 society, held on April 8, 1921. 



The William H. Nichols medal of the New 

 York section of the American Chemical So- 

 ciety was presented to Professor Gilbert M. 

 Lewis, dean of the department of chemistry 

 of the University of California «n May 6. 

 The program was : " The man and his work," 

 remarks by Arthur B. Lamb, John Johnston; 

 presentation of medal by John E. Teeple; ac- 

 ceptance and address, " Color and molecular 

 structure," by Professor Lewis. 



The Eoyal Geographical Society of Great 

 Britain, with the approval of the King, has 

 awarded to ViUijalmur Stefansson their 

 Eounder's Medal for his " distinguished ser- 

 vices to the Dominion of Canada in the ex- 

 ploration of the Arctic ocean." The medal is 

 to be presented at the anniversary meeting of 

 the society in London on May 30. Mr. Ste- 

 fansson will then be on a lecture tour in the 

 western United States and consequently un- 

 able to attend, and it is expected that the High 

 Commissioner for Canada will receive the 

 medal on his behalf, as the Stefansson Arctic 

 expedition of 1913-1918, of which this award 

 is a recognition, was a Canadian naval ex- 

 pedition. 



Dr. Stephen Smith, first president of the 

 American Public Health Association, now 

 ninety-eight years old, will welcome members 

 of the association at the fiftieth annual meet- 

 ing next November.
