Christensen and Hanks and their graduate students plan to develop a practical procedure for predicting how mixtures of liquids may be separated under the extreme conditions of temperature tem-perature and pressure used by the chemical and petroleum industries. in-dustries. The project is anticipated antici-pated to last for eighteen months. Union Carbide Corporation has previously funded research at BYU to develop an instrument, called a calorimeter, to measure these heats of mixing. A high pressure calorimeter was developed de-veloped by the BYU Chemical Egineers. Presently only two such devices de-vices exist in the world: one in the BYU Thermochemical Institute Laboratories, and one at Union Carbide's Research and Development De-velopment Laboratories in South Charleston, West Virginia. The BYU calorimeter will be used to make measurements necessary for this study. Crude oil must be separated into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, engine oil, heating oil, and asphalt. as-phalt. Pollutants must be removed re-moved from waste waters, and products of chemical reactions must be separated from byproducts by-products and purified. Current industrial practice involves studying each mixture of interest and measuring necessary separation separ-ation data (celled vapor-liquid equilibrium data) to predict how to separate mixtures. Such measurements are complicated com-plicated and time - consuming when complex multicomponent mixtures are involved. Drs. Christensen and Hanks have developed de-veloped a unique new method that allow necessary equilibrium data to be quickly and accurately accur-ately determined from a rel- UTAH Vr-J i.D . I ' J ii "X Juth Louise Well, I've started to surface after the engulphment the holidays holi-days always brings and I find that a rest has done nothing for the infirmities of my typawriter-or typawriter-or of ye scribe, for that matter. Another birthday doesn't help either. Of course these festive days do more to stir up memories than anything else, and since I could watch the Rose Parade on TV, this event from other times was much on my mind. I saw the great parade once with my brother Lyman. I'm sure we two weren't alone but to save my life I can't remember what other fa mily members were along. I so remember that just before the color guard in lead reached us, a fat woman just in front of us got herself up on a chair in standing position and effectually ef-fectually cut off the view of every one behind her. This brought forth many muttered and spoken comments on herself and family, none of them complimentary. My brother who is a born prankster gave me a certain look which I gladly returned, and somehow that fat woman just couldn't keep her feet. She just was continually crowded off her perch-with those standing close, innocently lending a push now and then. But enough of this parade. I'm going back, now, to my first look at the Carnival of Roses, as I remember it was called, or may be eventhe Tournament of Roses. That winter we were visiting my Lady Mother's sister, Louise, at Pasadena. The year was 1907 and 1 was eight years old-just turned. That was a trip. We saw , San Fransisco one year after ' atively simple and quick measur-ment measur-ment of the heat of mixing of the chemicals.

Partridge cracks in the pavement and street car rails so twisted that a large alligator would get sea sick trying to follow. There were some piles of debris that had been buildings still there. Very sobering. But to get back to the Rose Carnival parade. No autos, of course. The entries were all pulled by horses and this made it extra beautiful. Such horses! And with wreaths of flowers around their sleek necks. Beautiful, Bea-utiful, lean remember two floats because somewhere in this house I have pictures of them, advertising adver-tising some hotel or other. One float was called 'A California Cali-fornia cutter" and it was just that a regular one seated sled cutter, a buggy type thing on runners. It wis pulled along over the pave me mo nt by an elegant pure white horse all decked out hi roses around its neck. The cutter had bouquets of flowers here and there. The horse's hooves were polished till they glistened. The other remembered float was a high green whale. It's mouth was open and red. It looked real. The scales on that whale were leaves from hose lovely magnolia trees that grow down in Californiz, each leaf fastened on separately, just like scales. The great open mouth was lined with scarlet red geraniums. ger-aniums. Oh, I tell you, for an eight year old girl just fresh from winter in Provo, U;ah and a mining camp named K nights -ville, it was almost more than could be borne. Then there was the city of Pasadena-all streets paved and swept, and lined on both sides with palm trees and a certain kind Df evergreen that was fine and lacy and grew to the ground and spread around the foot of the trees like ruffles. And the elegant houses and yards! Enchantment En-chantment never to be forgotten. Selah. Ruth Louise Partridge Orem Lions Club Members Hear Secret Service Story Anthony Davis, U.S. Secret Service agent, spoke totheOrem Lions Club in their most recent meeting, pointing out national problems in counterfeiting and fraud. Davis said that theSecretSer-vice theSecretSer-vice was established in 1865 specifically spe-cifically to contend with counterfeiting counter-feiting during the civil war. Presently, the counterfeiting business is mounting to over $45 million annually. In Utah alone, over $2 million worth of bills were counterfeited in the last two years. In 197C, the SecretService uncovered un-covered four plants producing counterfeit money that mounted to $7 million. j Presently, in the Soviet Union and Arabia, all counterfeiters are shot, he said. However, in the United States, niaximumpen-alties niaximumpen-alties are up to 15 years in a state penitentiary. "Counterfeiting is a serious offense because it has a potential poten-tial of ruining the economy," Davis said. "Present laws are generally good, but in many cases judges are inconsistent in dealing out punishment." He also pointed out that merchants mer-chants taking counterfeit nmnoy for merchandise will nut receive any reimbursement for their loss.
