Chemist Tells Perkin Centennial Significance The year 1856 has become for the organic chemist what 1066 is to the historian and 1842 to the American, said F. R. Cassaretto, Ph.D., in a talk to the Chemistry club, Jan. 14. In that year, he continued. William Henry Perkin prepared the first synthetic dye, describing Perkin's successful attempt to syn thesize quinine by the oxidation of impure aniline and noting that Perkin was clever enough to rec ognize that, although he had not produced quinine, he had prepared a brilliant dye, mauve. Dr. Cassaretto explained that Perkin not only produced the dye in the laboratory; he also made it available com mercially. Successively, Perkin synthesized alizarin, turkey red and indigo. Each had previously been obtained from natural sources at consider able cost. Turkey red was long responsi ble for the color in the British and French military uniforms, and natural indigo was used to dye the Egyptian mummy. A member of the faculty in the Chemistry department at Loyola university. Dr. Cassaretto is the father of Toni Cassaretto Perille, senior English major.

Some Like Chicago Snow Some Don't, Do YOU? Meteorologists have taken the line of least resistance to pleas of Chicagoans. The line, however, is one that sounded better musi cally that it does lit erally, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. The third time, they say, is the charm, and com plaints of the city's dirt ..and ..dust ..are snowed under in a blizzard of the most spectacular kind. The meteorologists have given us carte blanc and without any cover charge ex cept that charged by the tow companies who are doing a booming business at present. When finally the capitalistic car own ers are driven to work or school des pite the weather, they're not annoyed when the car stalls on Lake Shore Drive. They have just been listening to a DJ in Tennessee give the weather report from there. Abandoning m y car, like the others, I. an erstwhile nature lover am carried back to the simple life, (this time under my own steam). Now the only necessities of travel are snowshoes. which I have forgot, and s n o w g 1 asses which I never owned. Finally reaching the bus stop, I adjust my attitude and my scarf and begin the long wait for the arrival of the CTA. Ideas for steam heated sidewalks be gin to seem feasible. As the cold gets un der my skin, I feel icy water seep through my shoes and spread by osmot ic motion. Finally the bus ar rives, and I experi ence a wild toboggan ride toward home. It is two blocks from the bus stop to home. Halfway there. I feel a clod of wet, cold, white stuff, fall like plaster all over me. The idea snowballs appeals, and, by the time I arrive home, I look like a snow man. The next day is Saturday. In the short space of a few days. I have devel oped a caution hith erto unknown. Like Noah, during the del uge, I know now that I will experience a sinking feeling if I dare venture into the highways and side- streets of the neigh borhood. Therefore. I send out a parakeet in preference to No- ah's dove to check th weather conditions. By the time the bird conies back, it has developed laryn gitis, though it brave ly, if wearily, war bles its praises of our winter wonderland. From the snow on its wings, I conclude that doves and para keets may enjoy the rain and snow to their heart's content. I. however, shall leave both for the birds.
