National research council: Activity in industrial research

As a result of his visit to Japan last fall at the time of the Third Pan-Pacific Science Congress, Maurice Holland, Associate of the Institute and Director of the Division of Engineering and Industrial Research of the National Research Council, prepared a brochure upon The Industrial Transition in Japan, which in cooperation with the Japan Society of New York, has just been published in attractive pocket size and given wide distribution among those interested in comparing the remarkable industrial progress of Japan during the last generation with the industrial status of other countries. Also in connection with industrial progress, an exhaustive bibliography of literature of the past several years relating to street and highway safety has been prepared by the Highway Research Board through its chairman, A. B. Fletcher, of the Bureau of Public Roads, and Doctor M. G. Lloyd, Chief of the Safety Section, Bureau of Standards has prepared and had printed a statement on the “Present Status of Legal Regulations of Automobile Headlights in the United States.”
