Nav Aluminium Alloy.

A new aluminium alloy has been de yeloped in Germany, which is sold un- der the name "silumin," The alloy contains Ii to IA per cent of silicon and ,86 to s9 per cent of aluminium. Its specific gravity is 2.5 to 2.G5; tensile strength, 20 kilograms per square mil Iimeter, and hardness at room temper ature, 60 kilograms per square mifli- meter, with a 300 kilogram load and a 10 millimeter ball. The alloy is un- affected by wet steam, and resists con- centrated nitric acid better than alum mum, which it resembles very much. The alloy is made from its elements di- rectly or in the electric furnace. For further details, see the "Chemiker Zeitung," December p, 1921.-Scien- fife American.

.PADUCAH SHOWS
HOW TO RAISE MONEY
American Jewish Relief Committee In
creases Subscriptions From $500
To $4,000 In Short Time
'Tell The Story-The Money viii
Come, Is The Advice Given To
Other Cities

Kentuckians are ready and willing
to give to the relief of the starving
and destitute Jews Of Eastern and
Central Europe.
This has been amply shown by the
citizens Of Paducah, both Jews and
non-Jews.
When the appeal was first made in
that city about $7OO was subscribed. 1t
was confidently asserted that that was
all the money that could be raised.
Then more work was done and the
committee in charge very reluctantly
accepted a quota Of $1,000. insisting
that 1t was the very limit.
Following a visit to Paducah Of Col.
Fred Levy, State Chairman of the
American Jewish Relief Committee,
Rabbi Joseph Rauch and Edward
Sachs, of Louisville, the quota was
doubled. BY that time the Paducah
workers were so interested that they
laid plans to eclipse every city in the
state. Five thousand dollars was rails
ed. The next report was $4,000. Then
came a report of $4,000, In pledges.
Now 5000 is the goal.
In a letter to Colonel Levy, Her
man Friedman of the committee said !:
I'VE haven't really started in Padu-
cab. We certainly don't intend to let
any other community in this state
catch up with u.s."
"Tell the story" is the advice Of the
Paducah Committee, "and you'll have
no trouble raising the money. People
Of all faiths are thoroughly aroused
to the needs Of the suffering people in
Europe and will give literally.

charge Of the work. He enlisted the
activities of all the Jewish people in
Ashland and then started in to inter.
est the non-Jews. AS a result the
whole city and surrounding country is
putting on a stirring campaign.
Starting out with pledges of a few
hundred dollars the story of the starv.
ing children and the homeless refugees
Of Central and Eastern Europe made
such deep impression that In a very
short time $5,40O was pledged.
"We're just beginning, wired Mr..
JOsselson to Col. Fred Levy, State
Chairman Of the campaign. wherever
we go people seem willing and anxious
to give. It's the strong appeal Of the
terrible conditions over in Europe that
Is getting US the pledges. Keep your
eye on Ashland when the last returns
are in" Col. Levy at once wired Mr..
Josselson his hearty congratulations
upon the splendid showing made.
