THE SEN! Oil CLASS BAGHDAD COLLEGE

BAGHDAD, IRAQ

NINETEEN II INDUED FOlin -SEVEN DEDICATION

The faculty of any school is, in a large measure, respon- sible for its progress and success. For eleven years Father

William Sheehan has been identified with Baghdad College and has won the admiration and respect of students, alumni, and friends of the College. An inspiring teacher, a capable director of athletics, he has by his word and his example instilled in our hearts the highest ideals of truth and sports- manship. His spirit of self-sacrifice and tireless labors have contributed in no small way to the development and expansion of our school. In recognition of his services, in gratitude for his instruction and sterling example, we. the Class of Nineteen

Hundred and Forty-seven, are privileged to dedicate our issue of El Iraqi to this devoted leader of Baghdad College men. I

The many thrills of the tournament were climaxed by this game with Karkh in which we struggled for the city cham- pionship of Secondary Schools. Although our team was not up to its usual form on the afternoon of of Dec. 12, we held the lead throughout, until the very last minute of the game. Suddenly, the victory which seemed so near was snatched from our grasp by a Karkh basket in the closing seconds of play, and we suffered a heart-breaking one point loss, the final score being 21-20.

Even in defeat, however, B. C. gained. It is true that we did not win the cup, but we won something more valuable and more enduring — the admiration and respect of all who saw the game, and in particular the esteem of the Ministry of Education. Rev. Fr. Connell received many ex- pressions of congratulation, complimenting the school and the team on the gentlemanly conduct of our boys, and praising them for their inspiring example, even in defeat. Among these messages was an official letter from the Ministry of Educa- tion, signed by H. E. Abdul-Ghani Chacherfchi, Director of Baghdad Liwa of Education. We treasure these testimonials, and we are confident they wil be an incentive to future B. C. teams to distinguish themselves by the same laudable traits.

The team bounced back after the loss to Karkh and added several impressive victories to

its list of triumphs. Playing in the tournament of the Royal Sporting Club, we met the team of the United States Information Service, a squad com- posed of Americans stationed in Baghdad and in- cluding two former all-State stars. This team

provided the stiffest opposition we met all season, but our boys rose superbly to the occasion and flashed their best basketball of the year to earn a precious 39-31 victory. Then there was the mem- orable contest with the British Institute. Sparked by Shawkat's sensational shot, we came from behind and scored 3 successive baskets with less than a minute to play, thus pulling the game out

of the fire and giving us a brilliant 41-36 decision. Another highlight of the season was the 47-47 overtime game, played with the Jesuit Faculty during the Christmas vacation.

At the present writing, the Gold and Maroon

is anxiously awaiting the opportunity to redeem itself for the Karkh defeat; for we are scheduled to meet this team again — this time in the semi-

finals of the R. S. C. Tournament. The record for

T,..HE sun looked slyly through ihe mist above

the foaming river. After a while it grew stronger and dispersed the fog whose drops

glistened with rainbow colors before they mingled with the river's water. Here and

there the tall shadows waved stealthily, like a hungry wolf upon its prey.

From afar was heard the sound of horses, and two men gradually appeared, riding on

strong and swift Arabian steeds. They were fully armed. The first was advanced in age, but

he was wide shouldered and heavily built. The other was a youth, tall like a cypress tree.

He too was strongly built and appeared in stature almost like his father. Both men wore a

look of anxiety, for the father had received news that his wife was dangerously ill. He had

been forced to leave the court of Charles the Lion Hearted and hurry to the beds^le of his wife.

«But father, » said the youth, « I do not believe the man who brought the news and

something warns me that we should be on our guard.)) EL IRAQI (,,

« Dear Robert,)) replied ihe father. »I have nol known the man for long hnl I cannot

see any reason whv he should deceive me.»

They rode silently for a while, when suddenly I he horses became alert. Their ears shot upward as they looked to the right, and the two men, drawing their swords, fared the same

direction.

To the father's surprise and dismay, he saw the traitor who brought him Ihe news

riding towards him at the head of fifty horsemen. Then all became clear to him as he real-

ized that jealousy at the court was the motive of this deception. The road of flight was block-

ed and father and son met the challenge of their enemies. Thus were engaged in battle Ihe

two knights who, in the use of arms, were the pride of Charles' court. With each thrust a soul fled to its Creator to be judged hut complete victory was impossible, for the enemy were too many in number. Young Robert received a wound but this only spurred him on to greater coinage. Blows rained upon both men from every direction and they did all in their power to save their lives and honor.

Hut alas! A blow from the rear by the wily traitor who was himself a good swordsman, mortally wounded the aged knight who until this day had known not the meaning of de-

feat. Down he lell with a groan, whispering, « Fly, my son, for thou maysl sutler my fate."

Who can imagine the sorrow of thai devoted son? His heart was pierced with sadness

at the sight of his dving lather and yet he was wise enough to follow the paternal advice.

Upon his faithful steed he dashed for the river and both plunged into its cooling waters.

They were swallowed by Ihe angry current for a moment and then came to Ihe surface

again. Those who witnessed ihe spectacle were Idled with awe as the horse made his way

victoriously through ihe foaming, raging river and reached the opposite shore.

Robert allowed the horse to choose the way, for he had grown weaker at every moment,

until he could scarcely remain in the saddle. The gentle movements ol the horse lulled him

to sleep, and falling into unconsciousness he slipped helplessly to the ground. The faithful

animal which had carried Robert through many a dangerous fight was loathe to leave him

and so he look up a position of guard over his fallen master.

The sun had nearly set and its last beams were lingering still upon mother earth when

a party of horsemen led by the nobleman who owned the estate passed bv the prostrate 68 EL IRAQI

form of the young man. The nobleman was as lender and kind as he was jovial. He was

deeply moved at the sight of the horse standing guard by the side of his master and he or-

dered that both be taken to his castle. There Robert was nursed back to health by the daughter of his rescuer.

Sara was one of the rare beauties of her day, the pride and joy of her father's home.

She was tall and slender with chestnut hair and a radiant face like that of an angel. Her

blue eyes and pleasing smile added greatly to her happy features.

«0h, father, art thou gone?» sighed the youth, and his eyes were swelled with tears. In

vain he tried to rise from his bed but Sara gently restrained him and spoke to him words

of comfort. He could hardly believe his eyes as he looked upon the heavenly vision but it

was indeed a reality. Her voice was as sweet and lovely as drops of dew upon the sleeping

flower. She told him how he had been rescued by her father and his lips moved slowly

with whispers of gratitude.

With the passing days Robert became well again and the hearts of the youthful pair were united in an affectionate love. Sara's father offered no objections to their marriage

when he had heard Robert's story and knew that he was the son of the famous solider. As time went on Robert became happy but in spite of all his efforts he could not forget the sight of his noble father lying mortally wounded upon the ground. The sad vision seemed to haunt his days and nights.

One day while he was out hunting a messenger came and told him that a group of armed men had [alien upon the castle of his noble rescuer. Filled with anger he turned his horse and sped homeward. On thundred his Arabian steed over hills and through valleys until lie finally arrived at the castle. His mere appearance on the scene spread fear and terror into the band of robbers and many took to flight. Of those who remained one after another fell at the blow of Robert's sword.

Who can describe his astonishment when he suddenly beheld the murderer of his father engaged in the battle ? With a cry that echoed from one valley to the other, he dash- ed towards his foe. The traitor realized his doom, for most of his men had fled or died in combat. It was too late to escape and so he chose to make a last desperate stand rallying all the courage he could. The two men charged against each other with clashing steel and both fought with every ounce of strength and courage, for it was a struggle unto death.

Many watched the encounter from a distance and the household of the castle feared for

Robert's safety, for his wounds had not completely healed. But in spite of his weakened EL I RAO I 69

strength his quick actions were a source of amazemenl to all. I fe was recognized as a master of self-defence even though young in years.

As the battle was being waged the sun was nearing the end of its journey, looking back wearily and sadly upon that seene.The wind moaned sullenly among the trees. The onlook- ers held their breath, as if afraid to distract for -a single moment the men engaged in combat.

Suddenly Robert raised himself for a final thrust destined to kill his opponent, when fate intervened. For the first lime in his memory his horse made a false step and fell with his rider upon the ground. Robert's foot was caught in the stirrup and the faithless traitor grasping his opportunity, plunged his spear through the hero's side and then look to flight.

The blood flowed swiftly from his wound and he became weak and helpless. Rut even at the moment of death his youth and beauty were still to be seen. Those who looked upon him in his final agony realized with heavy hearts that he was too young to die. While will- ing hands made his last moments comfortable, the horse disappeared into the woods never again to be seen by mortal eyes.

Tears of pity fell from ihe checks of the bystanders. Reverently they stepped aside, their heads bowed in grief, as the young and graceful girl clothed in while knell by Robert's side. Her eyes were dimmed with tears, her lips quivered with fright and uncontrolled sadness robbed her of the beauty she had known. Men who never knew the meaning of sorrow, wept as they gazed upon the maid and her lover. All nature seemed to mourn. The sun began lo drop beyond (he horizon. The clouds of night hovered above the castle home.

Sara looked longingly at Robert and a smile of recognition came over his pallid face.

He tried valiantly to speak but the words never left his lips. The messenger of death had come to visit this gallant young man even as he slood upon the threshold of life. His span of years, short as it was, had been well spent. To all who knew him. he was a man of honor, courage, strength and nobility. As he was in life, so was he in death. There in the quiet of the evening twilight he closed his eyesindealh and time alone remained lo heal the wound of those who loved him and cherished him. He was gone forever but the. memory of his noble example would be a consolation to all who knew him, a challenge lo the young who would imitate his devotion lo the finer things of life.

11 w\A George, '47 \ CUP OF COLD WATER

T,HE rain was splashing againsl the window glass and a torrent of chilly wind was howling in the lonesome streets. Occasionally the sKy would blaze with flashes enlightening the milky countenance of the young lady who was facing the uncurtained window. She was sitting on a comfortable chair gazing at the

cloudy sky.

Soft, melodious music was playing on a radio set in the room, creating an atmosphere

of uncontrollable sentiments which were increasing spontaneously in her restless soul.

There was something in her soul which had been stimulated by an incomprehensible

mixture of feelings. There were emotions of sadness and despondency but none of them EL I R I Ql 71

were certain. Reclining in this manner her mind wandered back and she began lo think about lliiil cursed accident which deprived her of her beloved family.

Il happened fifteen years ago. She was in her fifth year of school al the lime when her family departed from France lo America. On the ship she was happy and joyful. The ship was moving gently with the calm breeze of the morning but al noon time there came a great change. Heavy clouds gathered in the sky and the wind began to blow strongly. Then at night came the hurricane. The ship began lo play on the waxes which were tossing it up and down like a child playing with his ball. The ship was plunging and tottering among the merciless surges until al last, losing its buoyancy, il sank. For a short time there came the cries of some floating men on the waves and then all was silence.

Opening her eyes next morning the young lady lound herself in a beautiful bed and a man was standing near her head. At first she was frightened but when the man began to question her kindly about her name and family, she became more calm.

From that day she remained in the man's house, for he was a man of wealth and renown. When she became eighteen years old the man told her that she was the owner of a great estate lell by her family, all ol whom were certainly drowned in the squall from which she had been rescued when she drilled lo the shore, clinging to a huge piece of wood.

The wealth and properly she received did not bring happiness to ibis poor lady who had everything except the lender love of her mother and father. She was always troubled and the picture of her mother never departed from her mind. So on that gloomy day, her emotions reached a point which she could not bear. She ordered the driver lo be ready. By the lime the car was blowing ils horn near the door, she had thrown on her overcoat and was wailing nervously.

The streets were dim and foggy, and the rain was noisily splashing against the window panes of the motor ear. They drove along the streets without any particular destination

because the lady did not know where to go. At last she said :

« Driver-, slop near that store for a while. » 72 EL IRAQI

The lady rushed out of the car and entered the shop, while the driver sal int he car and lit a cigarette. On her way hack the lady saw that her driver was buying something from two small children. Coming nearer, she saw that they were a boy and a girl. They were barefoot and ragged and dirty and both were in need of proper clothing. They had pale faces and dim eyes and their bodies were shaking with cold. Both of them were holding a basket in which some matches and cigarettes were visible.

« What are you doing here my little oiies ? » asked the lady kindly.

« Selling these, » said the boy showing his basket.

« In this kind ol weather? » inquired the lady amazed.

« Yes, because we have to get money to buy our daily food and some medicine for our beloved nanny. »

«Who is that beloved nanny?)) demanded the lady, interested in the matter and suddenly possessed with a desire to help.

« Oh, she is a very good woman. She came to our house a year ago and when our own mother died, she began to work and take care of us. But she has been sick in bed a month, and now we are doing our best to make her comfortable. »

The lady's eyes were filled with tears and she asked with a faltering voice, « Will you show me your home ? »

The hoy and girl looked at each other, wondering how to answer. « But our home is far from here, » said the boy.

Then they entered the car and after driving for a time, stopped. The lady came out of it with the two children and after telling the driver to wait, followed them.

The two little ones led the good lady through many winding lanes and stopped in front of a small hut. They went into the house and passing through a dark passage, finally came to an open room. The room was dark and in one corner of it a candle was burning. The windows were shattered, the roof caved in, the door off the hinges,— evident signs of poverty and need. In the other corner a woman was lying on a tattered bed on the ground.

The woman's eves turned towards them. The lady approached her while the boy ran to one corner of the room, and, taking a bottle and a spoon, came near the bed. He poured the liquid in the spoon and gave it to her to drink. After she drank the medicine, the lady asked, « Are you feeling well now ? » E I. I R A Q I

« No, I think — my — end — is near. »

The lady bent over her and taking her arm said, « Do not despair but have trust in

God, and I think He will protect and comfort yon. »

While saying this, the lady saw that the woman was looking at her with eyes opened

wide. She drew back frightened, thinking that the last moment had come. But the woman asked with a weak voice, « Whal is that around your neck? »

The lady looked down and saw (he picture of her mother in a small little case. It was

the only thing left from her dear ones and was attached to a chain around her neck. The lady uttered a faint cry and with tears falling from her beautiful eyes said, « This is the

picture of my mother whom I lost in an accident when I was a child. »

« Lost! In an accident ! » said the woman quickly as if at that moment she had recov- ered all her health.

<• Yes, » said the lady amazed, recognizing the sudden change in the woman.

8 What was her name ? » added the woman earnestly.

ii Jane tie bosh, o answered the lady.

« Is your name Suzy ? » The woman put the question with a quivering voice.

The lady was indeed amazed and for the first lime she looked closely at the woman's

features and the picture. She wondered seeing such a resemblence between the two. The

big difference was that the first was an old-looking woman with snow white hair and the

second a young lady in her youthful years. Then all of a sudden she fell her heart leaping

and hammering heavily within her breast.

Finally two cries were beard.

ii Suzy ! »

« Mother ! »

And the next moment they were embracing each other with fearful hearts, as if fearing

that nature might separate them again. Massis Yeterian, '48 THE HOLY DONKEY

J_T was my grandmolher's custom lo tell us a story every evening before we were sent off lo bed. One night she held us spellbound with an amazing tale which still lingers vividly in my memory. I am sure the dear old lady would be pleased to have me record it in permanent form. So, without further ado,

I shall tell the story as I heard it from her lips.

The night was a torrent of darkness, and the faint outline of the newly born moon was barely visible in the heavens above. Suddenly, out from the vast ocean of sands, two liny lights appeared. It was Samier, travelling alone in his car and making his way from

Baghdad to Syria. Everything had gone well during the day, but once the darkness of night enveloped him, he had difficulty in following ihe road. Almost before he realized it, he had somehow turned off his course, and now he found himself in the midst of the vast desert.

Grief and frantic excitement clutched al his heart, as he drove on aimlessly. His eyes kepi close watch on ihe gauge on the dashboard which told him thai his supply of petrol was gradually diminishing. Just when he thought that ihis precious commodity was almost exhausled, his lights suddenly flashed on some distant forms standing directly in front of

him. It was an oasis ! Madly he drove on till he drew up even with these ghostly figures.

« Who are you and what do you want? » shouted one ol the forms which he now recognized as nomads.

«A traveller asking for hospitality,)) Samier replied. Without further questioning, they picked up his baggage and led him to a lent in the middle of the encampment. It was the lent of Sheikh Ali, the head of ibis tribe. »

E I. I R I Q I 75

As soon asSamier entered this tent, a tall man of about forty-five with a little heard

and a heavy mustache hurried to welcome him. He then ordered his servants to strangle a

sheep and prepare il for his guest. That was (he signal of the nomads to indicate hospitality

•and welcome to a guest.

After finishing the appetizing meal, Samier was led to a hcd placed in a tent specially

set up for him. His money and baggage he put on the ground near his bed.

The next morning when Samier awoke and started to wash, he looked for his bags,

but found that everything had disappeared. His hags and money had been stolen ! Astonish- ment suddenly overcame him to think that a guest should he treated in this way ! He went

immediately to Sheikh Ali's tent and told him the story. The latter did not believe it at fust,

but when Samier convinced him that this really had happened, he ordered one of his

servants to shout throughout the encampment that Sheikh Ali wanted all the nomads to

gather in front of his lent.

Soon the crowd appeared before the lent of the master. Surprise was evident on

every face, for ihey were not aware of the reason why their chief had summoned

them. Some said il was war which he wished to speak about; others said il was a

question of migration.

A hush of expectation went over the crowd when Sheikh Ali emerged from his lent.

He addressed them in strong words: « Everybody in this tribe knows thai I had a guest

yesterday and as he is a guest we should honor him. One of von, however, » — and he pointed

toward them— «has done something which has dishonored me and my tribe before all the

Arabs, fie has stolen our guest's hags and money. If the wrong-doer wishes to alone partly

for ihis detestable crime, let him step forward and give hack what he has stolen.

Sheikh Ali slopped a while, wailing hopefully, but no one stepped forth. Therefore,

he began to speak again, saying, « No one has stepped forth. This is a strange business.

However, I have one thing further to ask of you. My holy donkey is in that lent, » — and

he pointed to the tent in which Samier had slept. « I want each one of you to enter, one by

one, into that lent, catch the tail of my holy donkey, and then go out. As soon as the one

who stole the bags catches its tail, il will bray. »

According to Sheikh Ali's orders all the nomads went one by one to the tent to catch 76 EL IRAQI

the tail of the holy donkey. All of them, however, came out, and still the holy donkey did not bray.

When all the nomads had finished catching the tail of the holy donkey, Sheikh Ali

said, « I would like to express my joy at having such a good trie, and also my sorrow for

having accused you when you were not guilty. Gome forward and let me shake hands

with each one of von. »

It seemed a strange thing. Nevertheless, Sheikh Ali went through with the ceremony.

While he was shaking hands with one of them, he whispered in his ear, « Bring forth the

bags and money of our guest, or you will be killed. »

Grief and excitement appeared suddenly on the face of this man. All were surprised

when he went to his tent and brought back with him Samier's bags and money, and placed

them in the hands of his master !

When Sheikh Ali returned the money and the bags to Samier, the latter thanked him

very profusely. He then added that he would be very pleased if his host would kindly tell him the way in which he caught the thief. Sheikh Ali smiled.

« It is very easy, » he began. « All the nomads think that my donkey is a holy animal.

Hence, when I told them that when the thief caught the tail of the donkey it would bray, all of them caught the tail except the one who was guilty. For he was afraid that the donkey would bray and then he would be caught. »

«Bul how did you know that this nomad did not catch the tail ? » inquired Samier, still puzzled.

« How did I know ? Oh ! Before I told them to catch it, I put on the tail of the donkey something with a strong smell. Then, when I shook hands with each one, I found that all of them had this smell on their hands except the thief, and so I caught him. »

Samier smiled at this bit of cunning and extended his hand to his host in sincere congratulation. He then asked Sheikh Ali's kind permission to leave his car there for a few days, and again thanked him for his generosity. A short lime later Samier mounted a camel and rode off from the oasis in the direction of the nearest city, chuckling to himself over his good fortune, and thankful for the wisdom of Sheikh Ali. Aladdin Bahrani, '48 ()!•" I'H i: PETROLEUM KIISKEK

T,HE petroleum industry is of such vital interest to our country that an essay on the subject would seem quite appropriate.

Apart from the huge revenue thai the industry brings to the country, it affords em- ployment to many thousands in these difficult limes. Although our country is quite rich in petroleum, unfortunately we have not men available who really can manage to get the crude oil extracted, .pumped to other countries, or refined for internal usage, without the aid of foreign engineers. Consequently, men from Europe and America look advantage of the opportunity by establishing companies in Iraq that would lake care of the petroleum of the country. Before going into detail about extracting, stabilizing and exporting the oil from Kirkuk, I would like to give a brief outline of the history, occurrence, origin, and composition of petroleum oil.

The presence of mineral oil in the earth, the gases given by il, as well as bitumen, have been observed from the earliest times. U is quite probable that Noah used bitumen to 18 EL IRAQI

caulk the beams of wood in making his ark. Certainly, all our ancestors used it hundreds

of years ago to make their strange circular boats, popularly known as « guffas», which we see today, although in small numbers, sailing the Euphrates and the Tigris. Besides, petro-

leum and some of its products are used in medicine and embrocations. Sir Walter Raleigh,

that bold, intrepid, valiant soldier and sailor, described the famous pitch lakes of Trinidad

in 1595, and, as a matter of fact, the oik springs of Pennsylvania were known to Europe before 1750.

The great oil deposits of the world occur generally in sands, sandstone, and other

highly porous rocks overlying impermeable beds. The question of the origin of petroleum

has not been settled yet. It has long been a matter of controversy, but no conclusion com-

manding general agreement has been reached. Thus, while one school of thought considers

that petroleum originated from vegetable matter which, under the stress of overlying layers

and intense heat, was gradually converted to petroleum, others believe that it had its origin

in minute, aquatic animal matter which, after geological ages of intense heat and pressure,

was changed to petroleum. In our country, petroleum occurs in great quantities in Kirkuk,

Khaniqin, Gayara, and recently in the newly discovered oil deposits in the south.

Petroleum is the great source of the methane series of hydrocarbons ; its composition

varies somewhat with its origin, but essentially all petroleums are mixtures of hydrocarbons

usually containing some nitrogen and sulphur compounds. Crude petroleum is generally a

heavy, viscous oil varying in color in the natural slate from pale amber to black, depending

on its source of origin. Asa matter of fact, petroleum varies greatly in quantity according

to locality.

A great quantity of the petroleum exported from Iraq comes from the oil field of

Kirkuk. Petroleum is obtained by drilling until the oil beaming stratum is reached. The oil

in the well is forced to the surface of the ground through tubing sunk in the well, by its own

power. This source of power may be either gas pressure, or water pressure, or a

combination of both which is harnessed later on in the reservoir.

In the first well thus drilled in Kirkuk in 1927, the great pressure prevailing in the oil

bearing strata forced the oil with great violence up the shaft, forming a gusher from which

several hundred thousand gallons of oil daily were forced up and lost, until the well could * be brought under control, , E L I R I Q I 79

The crude oil pumped from the wells is delivered to storage tanks. After standing or settling in these tanks to separate water or mineral mailer, the crude oil is transferred to the stabilization plant. This plant is a distillation unit which has a dual purpose. By frac- tional distillation at various pressures and temperatures, it renders the oil more stable by removing the lighter, unstable gases, and it also eliminates the sulphur present in the oil in the form of hydrogen sulphide. This hitler compound, (hough present only in minute quantities in the oil, would nevertheless be very corrosive to pipes, machinery, and plan! unless it were removed.

Once the crude oil is stabilized, it flows lo K. 1, which is the first of the pumping stations situated three miles wesl of Kirkuk. Starting from K. 1, two twelve-inch welded pipelines run up lo Hadila, where K. 3, the third station along the pipeline, is situated at a distance of about 150 miles west of Kirkuk. At K. .'! the two lines bifurcate, one running lo the Palestine port of Haifa, and the oilier lo the Lebanese port of Tripoli. This station has a topping plant where some of the crude oil is fractionated, and the resulting products are used for the stations on the pipeline. The tolal length of these Iwo lines is about 1200 miles, and it is considered one of the greatest engineering undertakings of this nature lo be com- pleted. Doited along the length of Jhe two lines are pumping stations at a distance of about sixty miles from each other. The purpose of each station is lo pump the oil to the station west of it, and so on until the oil reaches the Iwo Mediterranean ports. Each one ol the sta- tions is sell-contained, having its own electricity, water supply, and all modern comforts for the personnel wdio help lo pump the oil. •

The annual output of the company exploiting the oil fields is 4,250,000 Ions, or 1,126,

250,000 gallons a year, from which our government gels a substantial amount in royalties.

At present, work is in full progress on a sixteen-inch pipeline which runs parallel to the existing lines. This line, when complete, will, together with the old lines, treble the output of oil from Iraq.

At the the two terminal ports of Haifa and Tripoli, the oil is exported in the crude form to countries in Europe and elsewhere, where there is an extreme shortage owing to

the destruction caused by the recent war, while a certain proportion is refined, and the products carried by tankers to the countries needing the oil.

John L. Mangassarian, '47. RAYON IN THE MAKING

I-T is indeed evident, although very few of ns realize it, that the world is living at a time when synthetic fibers are likely to play a greater part in our daily lives than even the scientists could visualize a few years ago.

The earliest known endeavors to manufacture a synthetic fiber resembling silk were made at the opening of the seventeenth century. But it was not until the nineteenth cen- tury that a patent was secured by Count Hilaire de Chardonnet for the first practical pro- cess for manufacturing such a fiber. «Chardonnefs Silk)) was spun from nitrocellulose, and, because this substance varies but slightly from guncotton and is extremely inflammable, he was prevented from manufacturing it. Later, however, he denitrated the fiber and this enabled him to commercialize the product.

Since tnat time «Chardonnefs Silk)) has been replaced by better synthetic fibers, the most important commercially being the Viscose, the Acetate, and the Casein rayons, and during the last ten years, Nylon. Different as they are, they have different characteristics and uses and they have supplied numerous and important markets. But, Viscose Rayon, produced originally by a British process, still maintains the mastery in volume production.

The following brief description of the viscose process for manufacturing rayon may be of interest. KL IN 101 81

Wood pulp From spruce, resembling thick sheets of blotting paper, is macerated in tanks containing caustic soda, which not only dissolves everything that is not required, but at the same time reads with the cellulose to Form what is known as alkali cellulose. When a sufficient time has elapsed, the excess caustic soda is removed by pressing the sheets in hydraulic presses. The next step is to shred the sheets into a condition resembling fine, white, bread-like crumbs. The crumbs are now emptied into steel containers and taken to a store room where the)' are aged For two days under controlled temperature.

The next stage is to place them into churns and bring them into contact with carbon bisulfide which causes them to became orange colored. The product is called cellulose xan- thate. The cellulose xanlhate is then passed into mixers and dilute sodium hydroxide or caustic soda is added. Revolving paddles churn the mixture until the cellulose xanlhate is completely dissolved, forming a viscous solution called «viscose». In appearance viscose resembles liquid honey. It is allowed to age For several days under carefully controlled conditions. Meanwhile any undissolved cellulose is removed by filtration.

The viscose solution is now ready For spinning. It is Forced through line platinum jets into tubs or tanks of acid which causes it to solidify in line threads. These threads are drawn from the acid bath onto swiftly revolving bobbins. Alter passing through cleansing and bleaching processes, the threads are coiled around wooden ormetal Frames into hanks.

These go to the weavers and knitters to be woven or knitted into valuable products which are known in every market in the world.

Rayon may also be spun into heavier filaments lor the manufacture of gas mantles, brush bristles, and other less known commercial articles such as special filaments For elec- tric bulbs and radio valves. It may also be Forced through long narrow slits to Form cel- lophane. Due to its characteristic properties and to the various Forms in which it can be produced, rayon is superceding many other raw materials in the manufacture of commer- cial articles. For example, it is superceding pig bristles in brushes and cotton in garments and lire Fabric. These are only a Few oF the commercial uses of rayon, but by no means do they exhaust the diverse uses and applications of this important product.

Until recently only continuous filament yarns were used in the manufacture of these many commercial products. These continuous filament yarns are the threads produced, by

6 82 EL IRAQI

the process already described. In recent years, however, some of these continuous yarns

have been cut into short lengths and respun in the same way that the short natural fibers

of wool and cotton have been spun since the first textile was made. This type of respun

fiber, called « staple fiber, » has brought tremendous advances in the garment and suit indus-

tries. Fabrics woven from staple fiber have characteristics quite different from those of

fabrics woven from continuous yarn. This difference is most noticeable in the appearance

and feel of the fabrics. Thus a fabric made from staple fiber looks and feels softer and warmer

than the other fabrics. Greater flexibility and elasticity, excellent draping qualities, and

lightness in weight give to these new fabrics an entirely new textile value. By spinning vis-

cose ravon fibers and acetate rayon fibers into one staple liber or by cross weaving staple

fibers made from the two types of rayon, many new cross-dyed color effects have been

obtained. These and other advantages have caused tremendous advances in the rayon in-

dustry and in the clothing industry.

Among the latest developments in synthetic fibers, nylon emerges as the most impor-

tant. Unlike the various rayons, nylon is an. entirely synthetic fiber. Its basic raw materials

are air, lime and coal. Today it is used to great advantage in the production of hosiery,

shoes, dresses, straps, water containers, and many other commercial products. Nylon is

found to possess many of the characteristics related to silk, especialy in elasticity and ap-

pearance, and experience has proved its aptitude for hard and rough wear.

Like many other industries, the rayon industry has been restricted in purely commer- cial production because of war demands and other difficulties due to the war. In the future' however, we can expect it to develop and to figure even more prominently iii the daily lives of many people of this world. Jamal Bushaka, '48
