That ethyl gas mixed with the

of owners of motor cars has been
proved in recent weeks by the num-
Der of deaths caused bv the breath

of applied physiology at Yale. And

is of vital Importance to the general
public. With lead dust being scat
tered through the air from the eX-
Eausts of hundreds of automobiles,
the results will be bound to make
itself felt on public health. In many
cases there will not pe acute lead
poisoning, but a sort of chronic,
lowgrade lead poisoning. particularly
noticeable among children. Tu-
berculosis will increase. There will
be an increase i'll insanity. There
will be greater trouble with teeth"
The use of ethyl gas must be stop

makers will not do it, the law
should. We cannot afford to have
such a risk spread broadcast through

Are any waters sweeter, more
picturesque? Are there woodlands

who delight to speak of the thrills
of the game fish and of the trails

to talk of these to the stranger

he shall delight with us? Do we not

beat the Republicans to it if the Re-
publicans are at all diliatory.
An impression is abroad that the
President would like to get along
without a special session of Con-
gress after March 4, and it is fair
guess the country is willing to trust
his judgment as to this. He would
like to see an early solution of the
farm problems and a further reduc-
ton in taxes. Needless to add he
appears yet to think Secretary Mel
Ions advice on financial matters
sound. There are a. lot of others of
the same mind, a lot who doubtless
would like to have him advise them
In their personal investments and
think his advice in public affairs of
Il financial nature likewise desirable.
But what may anyone expect of
the present Congress that flouted
Mellon and all his works? 1t is plain
what the country would like but not
how this opinion will affect the
Congress, that did about everything
the President didn't want it to do.
Under these conditions it is not sur
prising to learn that there Is
hesitancy about undertaking much in
the way of new legislation at this
short session of Congress.

GOLD FROM QUICKSILVER

Lord Byron wildly expressed de-
testation Of 1.-The mortal made of such
quicksilver clay that in his breast no
permanent foundation can be laid
hut he little apprehended that such a
permanent metal as gold might be
made FROM quicksilver.
That is What one German scientist
claims he has done, although he
allays possible apprehension, by ex-
planning the great cost of the
process. The method is to crack
the atom of quicksilver and
eliminate the seth electron, what
ever that may be.
Experiments to this end are to be
conducted in this country. and when
these are finished it may be possible
to estimate the probable value of
the metal in the years to come.
