BY JOHN LAssEN.

1T is late Saturday afternoon as l
| arrive here from Cleveland. How
black this city is! alight from the
train and find myself confronted by
a gigantic mountain.
Twenty PAGES away from the TEEN
ing, colorful streets tall smoke stacks
rear their heads heavenward, vomit-
ing dense clouds of smoke.

wend their way homeward. Black
are the faces, hands and clothes of
these people of the black city.

heading in it's direction 1t is Satur-
day afternoon. These black people
are eager to be clean in the black
city. We stand in long queues. When
will my turn come?

called out. / take the shower. The
hot water is giving out. People be-
hind the shower ratings are shout
ing: "Hot Water! Hot Wateri"
But it seems so futile. The dirt
saturates the human pores. 1t pene-
trates the skin and forms a thick
crust. Neither hot water nor soap
can do anything with it. People
simply turn black.

tendant. There are many more peo-
pie in line.
By the time l reach the street again
it is pitch dark. Deep shadows fall
over the streets. Darkly and grimly
frowns the mountainside upon the
city.
Then, 10, l behold a long moving
streak along the highway. A long
white streak in the intense blackness.
My eyes keep on staring. 1t is long
white streak creeping on and on.
They look like white clouds A blotch
of white in the great blackness. 1t

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

Macon (Ga.) Scouts have a rep
utation for community service. They
are living up to it, too. Their last
outstanding achievement was at the
Peach Pageant at Fort Valley. Forty
thousand people were in and near
the grandstand when it caught fire.
This is the story:
When the committee in charge
were making plans to handle the
crowd, they called on the Macon Po-
ice Department and the Chief imme-
diately called on the Scouts. With
out their help, he said, he would not
attempt to handle the task. This
tribute was based on the boys eff
cheney at the Macon Centennial.
when their quick action, as a grand
stand collapsed, saved a panic. So
forty boys were picked for the Peach
Pageant.
At o'clock on the morning of the
fete these experts were on the job
They helped park 10000 automobiles,
directed traffic, distributed programs
and at noon took up watch at the
grandStand. Here lively blaze,
caused by a lighted cigarette butt
igniting waste paper, and unnoticed
by the crowd, left the little squad,
when they had finally put out the
fire, not only breathless but with a
realization of the danger of fire un-
der the grandstand. So all after
noon, in a cramped, stopped position,
several of them patrolled the ground
under the seats, busily putting out
small blazes which threatened flimsy
dresses and wood dry as tinder
Only when the closing bell sounded
and the Scouts Strengthened their
aching backs did they realize they
had seen no part of the pageant.

CHANGES MADE IN BOUNDARIES
OF KAIBAB NATIONAL FORESTS

President Coolidge recently signed
an executive order transferring to
the Kaibab National Forest, Ariz.,
what heretofore has been known as
the Mount Trumbull Division of the
Dixie National Forest in northern
Arizona.
Four years ago the administrative
supervision of the Mount Trumbull
area was given to the supervision of
the Kaibab National Forest located
at Kanab, Utah, because it was be-
lieved that better service could be
given the public who were using the
Mount Trumbull unit. Since time
has proven the widsom of this
change, the President signed the ex-
ecutive order making the change
permanent

dertaking, therefore, is not merely to
make gold but to discover what it
will cost to make gold"
Berlin dispatches at the time of
Professor Miethe's announcement OF
his discovery quoted him as saying
that his method of changing quick
silver to gold could have mo imme-
diate economic effect because of the
prohibitive cost of the process. Two
million dollars worth of electric cur
rent would be needed to manufac-
ture a pound of gold, he said, basing
his estimate on the expense of his
experiments with small quantities.
Opinions of scientists were divided
at the time concerning the CONNER
cial importance of the discovery
Some held that the process could
never become practical, while others
argue that with improved apparatus
the cost of production could be low
cred materially.

Dinosaur Made Huge
Tracks In Painted Desert

Tracks recently discovered on a
slab of rock in the Painted Desert of
northern Arizona have been declared
to be the impressions of large
fiesh-eating dinosaur by G. w. Gill
more, curator of the division OF YER
tebrae palentology of the Washington
national museum has been announced
at the Grand Canyon office OF the
National Park service.
Mr.. Gilmore estimated the age of
the imprints at about 100000 years.
The tracks located at point Is
miles from Grand Canyon, were re-
Gently uncovered by the action OF
running water in the bed of wash.
The prints are IA inches wide, 16
inches long, three-toed and with the
imprints of claws visible. The stride
of the animal was ascertained to be
So inches.
Attention of national park officials
was called to the tracks by traders
on the Navajo Indian reservation who
referred to them as "petrified turkey
tracks"
In addition to devoting time for the
study of the tracks, Mr.. Gilmore is
collecting specimens of series OF
strange tracks of supposed prehls-
toric monster, and other smaller ami
mails along the Hermit trail in the
Grand Canyon, at a point in cliff
1000 feet below the canyon rim.

The Scientific American made the
announcement recently that it would
direct an attempt to convert quick
silver into gold, during series of ex-
periments already in progress under
Prof. H. Y. Sheldon, department of
physics, New York university.
1--WE believe the effort will be sue
cessful," said E. E. Free, editor of
the publication. "The experiments
probably will take from two to four
months"
He explained that Professor Shell
don's efforts would be directed to-
ward confirming by a different pro-
cess, results claimed to have been
achieved by Prof. Adolph Miethe dur
ing the last year at Charlottesburg
Technical college at Berlin. In the
meantime, duplicate of the appara-
tus used by Professor Miethe is being
sent here for study.
The apparatus now being set up
in New York university consists
chiefly of a quartz lamp which en-
closes various tubes and electric par
ephernalia. The lamp will hold about
a half ounce of quicksilver vapor.
The theory is that a current of
electricity, of ITO volts and atoms to
be determined, will crack" the atoms
of the quicksilver, knocking off" the
eightieth planetary electron which
differentiates in quicksilver from gold
and thus leave atoms with a planetary
system of 70 electrons-pure gold.
The eightieth electron will have to be
knocked off from billions of atoms if
the experiment with the half ounce of
quicksilver is susseccful. For, as Mr..
Free said, sin the gold it takes to
plate the head of a pin there are
atoms enough so each person in the
world could have several thousand OF
them"
Professor Miethe's reputed discov-
cry that quicksilver could be trans
formed into gold was an accident.
Using a quartz lamp and quicksil-
yer vapor, he was seeking to deter
mine the effect of violent electric
rays upon the vapor. After 200 hours
of operation, his apparatus became
clogged. He took it apart and dis

pure gold.
A repetition of the experiment
brought the same result according
to German scientific treatises which
brought news of Professor Miethe' 5
discovery to the attention of the Sci
entifc American.
Mr.. Free, whose articles on tshe
Bohr theory of atomic structure have
been widely quoted by American sci
entific publications, decided to pre-
dict what effect upon the financial
structure of the nations, the cheap
manufacture of gold might have. In
the industrial field, however, there
certainly would be revolution, he
said, ''for gold would replace copper
in the making of chemical stills, tele-
graph and telephone wires, lnstru-
ments and machinery in numerous in
stances"
1--WE believe our experiments will
be successful" he continued. "Ac-
curate records will be kept so that an
estimate of the cost of producing gold
may be made. We shall make the
best possible estimate of the time, ii
ever. when the world will have to
face the threat of cheap gold. The
Scientific Americans experiment will
be, in a sense, a new attack on the
chief problem of ancient alchemists
The extent to which artificial gold
will be used in industry and in the
arts will depend in large measure
