ECONOMY WITH AN Ak

NOVERNOR SPROUL has done what was
NJ expected of him in cutting about SO
OoO,O 900 from the appropriations made by
the Legislature.
In these days of business depression 1t Is
imperative that the expenditures Of govern
ment be kept down 10 the lowest possible
figure. The Legislature was Indifferent. 1t
voted large sums of money so that the mem
bers could 20 home and tell their constitu-
ents that they had done what they could to
get money set aside for their districts They
put up to the Governor the responsibility of
keeping expenditures within the probable
revenues. and now that he has used the ak
they can shift the responsibility from their
own shoulders.
The Governor not only reduced the ap-
preparations for various departments, but he
cut out all expenditures that are not abso-
lutely necessary. For example, he vetoed the
appropriation for the improvement of Capitol
Park not because the proposed improvement
is not desirable, but because he did not
think it expedient at the present time for
the State to spend the money. In two or
three years the work can be done at lower
cost because then n dollar is likely to buy
much more nearly hundred cents worth Of
work and material tan it will buy now

RADlUM AND ALUMINIUM

rTNHE anxiety Of the Mayor that proper
l. safeguards be placed around the ex-
penditurc of $3.50, 900 for two grams Of
radium in order to prevent any one from
profteering suggests infinite possibilities.
So fur as is known, the total amount Of
radium separated from the ores in which 1t
is found is SO small, the cost Of extracting
II so high and the demand so great that
there is justification for charging $100, 900
or S115,000 a gram for II.
But who knows when a cheaper process
for extracting It may be discovered or when
radium will be found in ores in which its
presence is not suspected? 1t Is not likely
that its history will repeat that of alumi-
mum. n metal the existence OF which was
first suspected in 1922 but was not named
until Sir Humphrey Davy in 1900 chris
tened it in anticipation Of Its separation
from the substances in which It was sup
posed to be hidden. Small gobules of it
were produced by various Investigators
during the next half century. 1t was not
until the Paris Exhibition Of 1855 that
enough was extracted to show to the public,
and there was a small exhibit of 10 in the
world fair Of that year. 1t began to be
produced in commercial quantities in 1852,
when il was offered at $40 a pound, troy
weight-about the price Of silver. Processes
were perfected so that In 1883 the price was
reduced to IS pound, and in 1891 it
could be bought for 81.
Aluminium Is so cheap now that it Is used
for kitchen utensils offered at so low price
that they are purchasabe by families Of
small means. Novelties are made Of it that
are sold at about the price that used to be
charged for the same kind of articles made
Of thin iron coated with tin.
1t is only twenty three years since radium
was first separated from pitchblende. Its
price today is much lower than It was In
the beginning, but 1t cannot yet be said to
be cheap when a gram of It costs 800, 900.
But when we know that aluminium, the ex =
istence Of which was first suspected in 1722,
which was not separated from It's original
ores for hundred years, and which was
produced only in the laboratories In tiny
globules in 1S45. is now so cheap that al
most every one can afford an aluminium
saucepan in which to boil potatoes, there is
no knowing what will happen in the pro-
duction Of radium in the next half century.

SOME PRESSED FLOWERS

TN ONE respect at least is the Knox reso-
/ luton n violet. 1t shrinks.
Effects of the involuntary modesty were
noticeable even before this flower of states
manship reached the House of Representa-
tives. The bloom was off, never, 1t would
SEEM to be restored. when there was deleted
from the much advertised peace nostrum all
language instructing the President TO nego-
tiate a separate treaty with Germany. Later
the lower House manifested certain dis
like of the clause containing a recontation
of the congressional declaration of war
against Germany.
And now what Is left Of the plant which
burgeoned so boisterously just about a year
ago is just a few small dead leaves appro
priately destined, perhaps, to be pressed
between the dusty pages of Mistaken Poll
cies." innumerable volumes Of which work
compose the archives Of the political Never
Never Land.
For the Republican members Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee have decided
definitely to reject Mr.. Knox's pet program
The Porter resolution, timidly automatic
affair. declares frankly and simply that we
are no longer at war with Germany and
Austria 1t also generously acknowledges
the fact that the United States Is possessed
OF considerable allen property and sanctions
the retention.
All this, though it was contained in the
Knox plan. lacks the earmarks of radical
departure in reconstruction processes incor-
porated in the original Senate resolution.
The two houses are Jealous OF their pre-
rogatives VIII the Senate. in the mood of
tit t-for-tat, scrap the Porter resolution
Such counter -thrusts are not unknown. and
when the battle is on in earnest the path of
legislation is often rugged and obscured
indeed
In the present case the difficulties Of ad =
justment are such that demonstration may
be afforded of political embarrasments
sometimes overlooked
Even in politics it Is not always so easy
to do fool thing as some of the fools
believe.

MORE GUESSING

MEN of science nowadays often seem TO
lNl be like the traveller who loses his way
on a traCkless desert. Every boy knows
that such man will wander in n circle and
make no progress unless he can guide his
course by something outside Of himself, such
as the sun or the stars.
The alChemists who were the early chem
lists, devoted themselves for centuries to
search for the philosophers stone which
would transmute baser metals into gold
When experimental chemistry began the
ulchemists were laughed at, yet as DR.. Ira
Remscn, of Johns Hopkins University, told
the Maryland section of the American
Chemical Society the other day, it took
centuries TO convince the investigators that
no element could be changed into another
element.
But Sir William Ramsay's discovery that
the emanation from radium. now regarded
as an element, g5Fe heliura, another clement,

IMAGINATION AND CLOCKS

POSTMASTER THORNTON has done the
L sensible thing in adjusting the mail serv-
fee in this city to daylight saving clock time
recommended by Council. The ruling. OF
course, means that Federal timepieces will
be disregarded and that collections and de-
Gvertes will be made one hour earlier than
normally.
The procedure is so simple that it gives
she aspect of superhuity TO the protracted
battle over the daylight saving program
Evidently, however. the public would have
declined to practice a transparently advan-
sageous economy without some official pro-
souncement.
The inhibition felt may prove that Amert-
s1ns are instinctively law abiding. 1t may
also prove that their imaginative faculties
ere somewhat defective.
Wherever daylight saving was favored
throughout the country it was necessary for
somebody in authority to misread the clock
IN order that thousands Of individuals anx-
Sous to do the same thing should take similar
Courage.
The queer turns Of human psychology have
seldom been more significantly brought out
than In this whole over elaborated problem
Of daylight saving.

CAMPBELL OF cAMPBELLToWN

IF WE were lucky enough to have in this
i country q general Law Against Con-
spiracy in Restraint of Thought the patrol
wagons would have swirlcd thCkly around
the place where Magistrate Campbell arose
unexpectedly at n dinner the other night TO
pledge not only his own allegiance but the
allegiance of the Northeast to the Wares.
Politics in the Balkans, on Franco Polish
frontiers and in China is not more mystify-
ing, more darkly involved, than the politics
Of the hour in PhiladelDha.
Magistrate Campbell used to be an aide Of
Senator Pcnrose. The Twenty fifth Ward
calls him its prophet, but his voice is said
to carry effectively to all the adjacent re
gions. But until now no one ever dreamed
OF an alliance between uptown and down
town for the greater honor and glory and
profit of the Ware clans.
"No matter what the ticket is at Eleventh
aod Chestnut streets, said Magistrate
Campbell, II will support it. l hope it will
be something for the good of the people.
But no matter what it Is or who is on il.
] pledge myself to stand back Of it. Nv
district will give from 10000 TO 1000
majority"
1t isn't every man who can stand up and
deliver so many unquestioning followers to a
cause which they know nothing about Does
the Northeast think or does 1t leave that
irritating business to Mr.. Campbell? Grover
Bergdol or the devil himself, II we take the
"Judge" literally, could have the Kensington
vote II the Ware controlled City Committee
flashed it's high sign OF approval,
And this is supposed to be an age OF

CCRUPULOUS respect for the wording of
- great lawyers will is preserved in the
decision of the Orphans Court upon the
housing Of the Johnson pictures.
Judge Gest, however, significantly implied
that the ruling did not express his own view
upon the much discussed subject of the best
quarters for the collection, and he admitted
that "the city and the executor may think
that wing in the Art Museum may be
better place"
In SO doing the Judge plainly reflected
the bulk Of public sentiment. The museum
now in construction at the western end of
the Parkway will without doubt be the
most fitting treasury, and public interest
will be best served If the art Of the city is
concentrated in such spacious and properly
appointed home.
It is to be hoped that the case will be
taken to a higher court. There are times
when technicalities, however mandatory, are
made subservient to broad and generous
interpretations Of the law.
Proving a will is not proving that the
johnson mansion on South Broad street is
the right habitat for one of the finest and
most valuable collections of masterpieces
ever gathered together by a single private
individual in this country

The Boston complncency is contagious
1t Is impossible for n man to live there long
without being inoculated with the germ and
becoming unconscious Of anything that hap
pens anywhere else.

cation of his conclusions as 1908.
But the date is not important. II 1t had
been 1915 it would have been difficult for a
man infected with the Bostonian sense OF
superiority to have refrained even then from
making a claim TO priority.
