Sees DAY WHEN
GOLD WILL BE
MANUFACTURED
English MetaIlurgist Agrees
With Edison In Theory of Ar
tificial Production.
BY ALLAN l.. BENSON,


Copyright. 1871. BY. International News
NEW YORK. Dec. 1o.-commande
William A. Ballantine, one Of tho
greatest metallurgists of England, now
In New York, does not believe there is
anything impossible in Thomas A.
Edison's prediction that gold will yet
be artificialIy made at a fraction of
Its present price.
Gold has already been artificially
made" added the commander. Sir
William Ramsey, a number OF years
ago, converted radium into gold. He
made but a few grams OF the yellow
metal, but what he made was identical
In every respect with gold as we know
IL In nature But the gold that Sir
William made cost about twenty times
as much as the gold that comes from
the ground.
THE question, therefore, is not
whether gold can be made from base
metals, but whether 1t can be made
for less than the cost Of the gold that
comes out Of the ground. / agree with
Mr.. Edison that 1t may be made any
day. I would add, however, that II
never would be made.
DIR. Miller Reese Hutchinson, for
many years an associate of Mr.. Ed
son, said that scientific experimental
ton had brought him to the point
where he would dispute nothing.
"If you were to tell me-" sold he,
that somebody down in Wall Street
vas lifting himself by his boot straps,
might doubt your sanity. but
would go down and take a look.
Mentally, I reside in the geographi.
cal center of Missouri dispute
nothing. but always want to see the
evidence"

The overcrowded condition of the
High School was pressed upon my
attention the other morning so strong
ly that | seriously question the pro
priety of continuing the functions oil
a High School. 1t is not possible fol-
a teacher, however gifted, to educate
our growing youth under such condi
lions as prevail in our community
for the grade schools are in equally
as crowded and unsatisfactory con
dition.
Education means ito lead out of
to find the peculiar fitness for certain
tastes of body and mind, and this
scarcity of accommodations puts hall
a hundred students into a room wher
half that number is enough.
A competent teacher cannot reacl
those packed-in youngsters, whose in
dividual development calls for the
close and sympathetic counsel of the
teacher.
To quote a recent publication: 1.-THE
decline in educational power is pri
marily the result of a widely influen
tial n wholly false philosophy Of
education, which has operated to de
stroy the excellence of the American
school and college, as these existed q
generation ago, without putting any
thing in it's place."
| suggest that some citizen of char
acter and standing call a meeting OF
the Fathers and organize them into
an association, similar to the Parents
and Teachers Association, whose eff
forts are reaching out to permanent
good. Something of a practical char
acter should be done now by the mer

NO OPPOSITION TO CANDIDATES.

All opposition having been eliminat-
ed, A~ssemblymen William A. Blair
and Joseph A. Corio will be re-nomi-
mated by the Republicans of Atlantic
County at the primaries September 81,
assuring their reelection in Novem-
Der.
The same applies also to William
B. Parsels, of Pleasantyille, as the
Republican candidate for Coroner.
If there was any opposition it has
been withdrawn, and a peaceful au-
tumn is in prospect. This is as 1t
should be, giving politicians and their
colleagues a respite of one year for
the very busy fall campaign of 1922.
There will be numerous vacancies 10
fill next year.
Assemblymen Blair and Corio are
deserving of denomination and cleo
ton for another term, if they care to
accept the honor. They have made an
enviable record for themselves in the
House at Trenton, and have at all
times during their respective incum-
benches displayed a lively interest in
behalf of their constituents. They
have been the authors of many bills
of a character highly beneficial to the
county generally. Like other members
of law-making bodies, it is altogether
probable that their programs for the
interest of their county have not been
completed. Another term will enable
them to carry on the work which hes
been begun. Their reward is chiefly
a sense of satisfaction in having ac-.
complished something for tie good CT
the many.
To serve in the Legislature, devot-
ing many days of valuable time at
compensation far less than actual ex-
penses incurred, to say nothing of the
loss of time from business or profess
sion means a great sacrifice. Men
who accept such posts of responsible
ity, and perform their work efficiently,
are entitled to the gratitude of a CON-
munity.

rNHE problem of obtaining
uniform quality is one of
the difficulties that the sue
cessful gasoline producer has
had to solve. The matter of
varying quality is one of the
greatest annoyances to the gas
Oline user.
1t was easy to get a standard
product when practically all
the gasoline came from one or
two types of crude petroleum.
Comparatively little gasoline
was used then. Today, the
demand is so great that all
parts of the globe have been
explored for petroleum, which
accounts for the great range
of "crudes'' on the market.
Gasoline must be uniform not
