board of parole which is expected to
convene here early in November. AT
this time the board will consider APP
plications for parole under the act Of
Congress approved last June.
There are forty members in the
bankers colony and some have such
short time to serve that they have
not applied for their freedom, pre-
ferring to serve their time rather
than to be released under parole.
Among those who are eligible to
receive the benefits Of the law are:
Frank Biglow, of Milwaukee; ]. l..
Frederick, Elkhart, Ind; H. A. Cons
man, Terre Haute, Ind; Fred Lubbe,

A part Of the theory touching the
nature Of matter is that the ions.
which are the constituents Of atoms.
are not only in constant motion, but
that this energy is working toward a
lower quality of matter; that is, that
gold Is developing toward copper or
toward some other kind of metal of
less value. So of silver and the dia-
nOnd. These precious metals never
transmute upward. but always down
ward. The changes may not be OBJ
served In centuries, but in millions of
years they will manifest themselves.
This disintegration of the atom and its
transmutation into the base metals
suggest two inferences- either the adj
vance Of civilization in the eradication
OF gold and other precious metals. or
that the so-called baser metals are of
greater value and use in the social
economy. OF course. long before the
eradication of gold through this proc
ess. mankind will disappear from the
planet. yet the lesson is left by this
acientific discovery that in the great
plan Of nature, copper and iron are
more to be esteemed than gold or
silver.
