lieutenant r f gillette hartford conn chief observer second provisional wing and the oil paint and drug re porter mentions a new explosive being tested by the government which will save a considerable amount of glycerin it is called nitrobyronel and is the product of dr byron e eldred it is claimed that it blows a chamber twice the size of that caused by t n t trinitrotoluol in the manufac ture of ~ nitrobyronel neither nitro glycerin nor toluol is used it is a hydrocarbon obtained by a by-pro duct in coke-oven processes it is estimated that 50,000,000 pounds of glycerin are used in american industrial concerns and a big saving in this important ma terial now growing scarce can be effected through the employment of nitrobyronel if a shortage of glycerin should become imminent the oil paint and drug reporter believes that the government would promptly start in to manufacture nitroby ronel bonds buy food for soldiers buy liberty bonds money means munitions buy liberty bond's
