The bulletin on "By-Products of the Lumber Industry" by H.K. Benson (published by Department of Commerce, Washington, 10 cents) contains a description of paper-making and wood distillation. There is a good article on cellulose products by H.S. Mork in Journal of the Franklin Institute, September, 1917, and in Paper, September 26, 1917. The Government Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, publishes technical papers on distillation of wood, etc. The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is the chief source of information on forestry. The standard authority is Cross and Bevans' "Cellulose." For the acetates see the eighth volume of Worden's "Technology of the Cellulose Esters."

The speeches made when Hyatt was awarded the Perkin medal by the American Chemical Society for the discovery of celluloid may be found in the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry for 1914, p. 225. In 1916 Baekeland received the same medal, and the proceedings are reported in the same Journal, v. 35, p. 285.
A comprehensive technical paper with bibliography on "Synthetic Resins" by L.V. Redman appeared in the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, January, 1914. The controversy over patent rights may be followed in the same Journal, v. 8 (1915), p. 1171, and v. 9 (1916), p. 207. The "Effects of Heat on Celluloid" have been examined by the Bureau of Standards, Washington (Technological Paper No. 98), abstract in Scientific American Supplement, June 29, 1918.
For casein see Tague's article in Rogers' "Industrial Chemistry" (Van Nostrand). See also Worden's "Nitrocellulose Industry" and "Technology of the Cellulose Esters" (Van Nostrand); Hodgson's "Celluloid" and Cross and Bevan's "Cellulose."
For references to recent research and new patent specifications on artificial plastics, resins, rubber, leather, wood, etc., see the current numbers of Chemical Abstracts (Easton, Pa.) and such journals as the India Rubber Journal, Paper, Textile World, Leather World and Journal of American Leather Chemical Association.
The General Bakelite Company, New York, the Redmanol Products Company, Chicago, the Condensite Company, Bloomfield, N.J., the Arlington Company, New York (handling pyralin), give out advertising literature regarding their respective products.
