DAVIS SECRETARY OF WAR?
Assistant Secretary Dwight F. Davis Mentioned As Possible Successor If Weeks Should Resign.

St. Louis, Nov. 12.-- Republican state leaders today were awaiting an answer to letters written to Presi- dent Coolidge endorsing Dwight F. Davis of this city, assistant secretary of war. for secretary of war in the event John w. Weeks should not re- main in the cabinet. Endorsements of MT. Davis were sent to Presi- dent Coolidge yesterday by Dr. E. B. Clements, national committee of Missouri, and W. F. Phares, chair man of the state committee which they based on reports to them that Mr. Weeks would resign.
 The writers pointed to the past record of Mir. Davis, both as a citi- zen and public official as well as a soldier during the world war and suggested that he would be the log ical choice in the event Secretary Weeks would leave the cabinet. The fact that Missouri republicans suc- ceeded in swinging the state into the republican column in two succeeding presidential elections is given by the writers as deserving of notice.
 Mir. Davis began his public career as a city department official here, which position he gave up after building up the city's park system. During the war he attained the rank of lieut.. colonel. In 1920 he was a candidate for the republican nom- nation for T. s. senator, but was ] defeated in the primary by Senator Selden P. Spencer. He was appoint cd assistant secretary of war during the Harding administration.

END OF RUM ROW
 NOW PREDICTED
Treasury Statement Sees Doom Of Booze Vessels

Washington, Nov. 12.-The lend of rum row" Is predicted in treas ury statement published today em- bodying a review of coast guard operations in October. A large in- crease in the number of seizures.' including seven foreign vessels act ing as supply ships Is reported.
 Progress in combating liquor smuggling is attributed in part to the increase in the coast guards facilities provided for by the last congress, and the ratification of treaties removing certain restrictions on the seizure of rum runners, When all of the boats and men provided for become available, 1t is said, the service expects to be able to stop the leaks at all of the worst localities" which are described as being too widely scattered for completely ef- fective work at present.
 In citing the seizure of the steam- CT Eagatind, with 8S.O00 cases of whiskey aboard" the report remarks that 'it is surprising to note the number of Norwegian vessels engag- cd in the liquor traffic." 10 having been observed recently in the rum fleets off the Atlantic coast. Papers confiscated aboard rum runners, 1t adds, have proved of considerable value in planning coast guard op- erations by providing "a rather com plete list of the persons actually fi- nancing and directing" the snug gling.

CELEBRATE AIR DATE
French Unveil Tablet To Memory Of First Aviator To Fly In France In 1906.

First Aviator To Fly In France
 In 1906.
 Paris, Nov. 12.-A memorial stone commemorating the first officially controlled airplane flight in France was inaugurated this morning by the under secretary of aviation, M. Lau- rent-Eynao, at Bagatelle, in the Bois de Cologne, where NJ. Santos Dumont covered 220 metres in 21 Is seconds on November 12, 1906.
 Tributes to the Brazilian aviator in the French press today recall how his exploit in the miniature plane. which resembled toy more than g. practicable flying machine, ended in a crash upon landing, demolishing the plane. It is also recalled that 1t later became known that the Wright brothers had already done better than this flight, but it is emphasized that Santos -Dumont's success owed nothing to the Wrights.
 During the ceremony M Santos- Dumont received from the Belgian aviator Coppens the decoration of grand officer of the order of Leo- pold II, sent by the king of the Bel gians.
 M Santos -Dun ont offered to sup ply funds for the erection of a me- morial stone on the drill ground at Satory commemorating the feat of Clement Alder in leaving the ground in heavier than air machine on October 14, 1897.

MAY MAKE GOLD.
 FROM QUICKSILVER
Discreditcd Search of Middle Ages Revived on Scientific Basis; Two
 Elements Closely Related.

New York, Nov. 12.-Alchemy, discridlted "science' of medieval times, may be vinidcated by tho re- suit of experiments of American scientists. Under the direction of the Scientific American, whose edi- tor. E. E. Free. is confident of suc- cess. experiments have been started to determine the practicability of transmitting quicksilver into gold a feat that Is said to have been &C., complished recently at great ex- pense by a German savant, Professor Adolph Miethe, of Charlottenburg Technical college, Berlin.
 By Professor Miethe's method 1t is estimated a pound Of gold worth about sS30 would cost more than $2,000,000 to produce. Many scien- lists are said to believe that this cost can be reduced materially.
 The modern alchemy" is based on modern science, the experimenters say. Gold has planetary system of 79 electrons while quicksilver has 80. By permanently "knocking orr the superfluous electron with electric current, 1t is believed pure gold will result.
 In the experiment now going for ward at New York University under the supervision of Professor H. H. Sheldon of the department of phy- sics, an effort will be made to dis cover the conditions that control the transmutation of mercury to gold and estimate the cost Of production.
 From these experiments it is hoped 1t will be possible to tell with some precision, how long 1t will be, if ever, before "cheap gold" will make necessary encouragement of the worlds monetary system.

COTTON INDUSTRY
 HISTORY REPEATS
Conditions Reported Same as
 They Were "A Years Ago

Boston, Nov. 12,-The situation in the cotton industry in America dur ing the past six months corresponds almost exactly to that during a like period 74 years ago, Secretary IL C. Meserve. of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, said in his annual report prepared for presen- tation today at the annual meeting of the association here. Even the issue of southern competition" so often mentioned today, was raised by northern manufacturers at that time, the report said.
 Secretary MeserVe, in citing the remarkable parallel between two far apart eras in the industry, quoted a report published In December, 1850, which, he said. might have been written for the period covered by his annual report, from May 1 last to the present time.
 From Rhode Island, that busy cotton cloth-making hive, we learn that about 70 factories have stop ped" the 1850 report said. From Lowell and our eastern manufactur- ing villages we hear the same oml- nous reports. In Maryland, in the Patapsco Valley, silence reigns,' ana even from the sunny south we hear of depression and suspension Of manufacturing operations. From east, west. north and south the times are bad, the cotton manufacturers said and they say truly.
 There have been too many of our factories engaged in making coarse cotton goods. Coarse goods can be manufactured cheaper at the south, and with a large number of factor ies now in operation in Georgia, Ala

Thousands of women keep their hands soft and smooth through the strenuous household round, simply by using Ivory for every soap-and-water task.
 Ivory's economy is two-fold. Ivory is all soap, and though it may cost a little more than harsher soaps or powders, it usu- ally goes further. Ivory is so much easier on clothes that they give far longer service.
 Thus it happens that Ivory is the only pure, safe, ich-sudsing soap which is economical enough for every soap-and-water task in the American home.
 Instead of half a dozen differ ent soaps for special purposes, therefore, why not have an "lvoryshelf' stocked with Ivory Flakes and Laundry, Bath and Guest Ivory cakes' If you should run short of one, you know you can use any of the others with perfect satisfaction, for they are all the same pure Ivory.
