Rubber reclamation. Rubber sheets from scrap tires. Reclaimed rubber, with all traces of metal and fiber removed, is passed through a series of mill rolls and taken off in sheets form the final roll. This rubber, reclaimed by the xylos process, is now ready for processing into thousands of mechanical rubber products vital to the war production effort. It is also put to many uses in which reclaimed stock is more desirable than new rubber. Firestone

Production. Tin smelting. Long tubes carry all the smoke thrown off by the furnaces of a Southern tin smelter to Cottrell precipitator units. Here all tin carried in the smoke is removed by an electrical current of 65,000 volts, and added to the metal secured more directly in other stages of the process. The large amounts of pure tin recovered from South American ore in this plant serves countless war purposes of the United Nations

Production of butylene glycol. Corn for which new industrial uses are sought is milled at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. A fermentation process for converting grain into butylene glycol, developed in the laboratory, has proved successful on a semi-commercial scale in the pilot plant. Butylene glycol, hitherto a relatively rare chemical, can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various manufacturing purposes. Department scientists have succeeded on a laboratory scale in turning butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The problem now is to develop a practical commercial process

Hamilton Family, sardine works, Eastport. Father earns $15 to $25 a week irregularly during the work season for three months. Said that 20 years ago he made $5 a day as a boy, cutting. The mother is a packer makes $10 a week and upward, during the active season. Another boy, not in the photo, works also. In the front row are George Hamilton, 11 years old, who cuts regularly--made a dollar in three hours the day before; Byron, with a badly cut finger, earns 25 cents a day; little Erna 8 years old works at cartoning. The father is dissatisfied with the irregular income, but cannot see the connection between his early boyhood work and his present stagnation. He is putting his little ones through the same process. Location: Eastport, Maine.

Priorities unemployment. No more money. John Jones, silk worker, is a victim of "priorities unemployment." It might have been James Smith, rubber worker. It might have been anybody. The "priorities unemployment" is part of a process of changing over, of retooling. And it's a temporary part, in most cases. Defense industries are expanding. In the long run, the defense program will make more jobs than it will break. It has already created 4,000,000 new jobs and there will be 2,500,000 more by April 1942. Production skills are needed for defense, John Jones'skills, James Smith's skills. How does "man meet job?"

Imperishable insects created by scientists. Washington, D.C. June 18. William R. Walton, Senior Entomologist of the Division of Cereal and Forage Insects, U.S. Department of Agriculture, whose unique hobby is the making of metal casts of all sorts of insects from the tiniest Scarab to the enormous six-inch Goliath Beetle, which feeds on the tropical vegetation of New Guinea. In his distinctly original work Mr. Walton uses the Galvano-Plasty method of metal coating, which he set about developing over 30 years ago. This is an electro-mechanical process similar to the electrotype process used in making newspaper cuts. 6/18/37

Jalopies for defense. Here are some of the parts stripped from junked automobiles in auto graveyards. These parts were removed from cars before they were sent to a scrap iron dealer, who will process them and ship them out to steel mills. Some of these parts will be resold, but the vast majority, whether sold or not, will eventually end up in the furnace of an open hearth steel mill. There it will be melted down and combined with virgin metals to provide the fine quality steel needed for defense production
