CINCINNATI, Nov. 13.-How greatly

when DR.. Harlan S. Miner chairman
of the Philadelphia section of the
American Chemical Society, addressed
the Cincinnati section on the subject
of "The Rare Karths"
DR.. Miner has done important pio-
neer work in putting to practical uses
many rare minerals for the supply of
which, before the war, the United
States was almost totally dependent
upon Germany and Austria. He
stopped at Cincinnati on his to the
South where he is to investigate the
possibility of gaining further supplies
of these materials.
The need for certain chemicals used
in the practical arts was developed
very strongly when the supply was
cut off shortly after the war began in
1914. IN the sale of some of these
minerals. Germany practically held q
II South it has been found that land
which is of small value for agricult-

DR.. Miner spoke especially Of the
production and the practical use of
such minerals as thorium. mesothorium
and cerium, the principal commercial
value of which is for the making Of
gas mantles. Although the rare earths

Germans were able to get substantial
control of the handling of these ele-
ments. They imported the raw ma
terial, put it through the commercial
processes and reshippcd it to the West
ern Hemisphere. Dr. Miner spoke of
the advances which have been made by
American Industrial chemistry in the
last year or so through which it was
possible for these rare earthS to be

thereby considerable expense saved.
He announced that progress had

more pronounced.

Superiors Snubbed
Sing Sing Warden,
Friends Explain
Brophy Resigned, They Say,
Because of Being Ignored
by State superintendent;
kirchwey May Get Job

OSSlNlNG, Nov. 14.-Reports are
gaining ground that despite the cour-
seous wording of Edward V. Brophy's
resignation as warden OF Sing Sing, he
turned it in in the belief that it was
the only way Of avoiding situation
that was embarrassing to him and
might soon, become into. cradle.
Charles f. Rattigan, State Superin-
tendent of Prisons, is said by Brophy's
friends to have ignored him in mat
ters relating to Sing Sing, in which
prison reformers went over the war
den's head to the superintendent. The
permission recently granted by Mr..
Mott Osborne to inspect Sing sing
after being excluded Tor several years,
was mentioned as an example.
"W arden Brophy had to resign to
save his self-respect," said one OF his
friends to-day.
Almost every one processing famil-
iarlty with the prison situation was
ready to preaict that the next warden
OF Sing sing would be IAN OSBORNE
man. and not Westchesler County
man. The name most frequently men
toned in come ton with the post was
that o. Or. George ". kilchwey, who

Nirchwey when it was suggested that

not gwen the matter a thought"
Dr.. hirchwey said that under GER
tain circums ,ances he miEht consider
accepting the position if it was offered
30 him.
NJ. J. Walsh, Democratic leader of
Westchester County, considered to be
n the confidence of Governor Smith,
will not recommend any one for the
wardenship, it was said.
The petty annoyances to which
Warden Brophy has been subjected
ere said to be numerous. A few days
ago he transferred thirty-fve men to
other prisons because of the con-
gestion at Sing Sing, and yesterday
hack came thirtytwo men from up
state prisons, some of them third and
fourth offenders.
