GERMANS MAY
PAY IN MADE
GOLD
Turns to Modern Alchemy to
Meet Huge Debts Owed 70
Victorious Allies

BERLIN, July az. Modern a.
chemly may yet enable Germany 70
nav off her reparations debts with
chemical gold.
Following the announcement Of
Doctors Meltae and Staxnmreich that
they had succeeded In converting
mercury into gold by means OF cleo.
trio current. well-known engineer,
Hugo Lohniann, announces he has
now invented an electric stove which
makes It possible to produce gold
very cheaply IN any quantity.
According to Doctors Meithe and
Stammreich, It would take $4,000 900
worth OF electric current to produce
two pounds Of gold under their proc
ees. LohmAIin, however, claims his
stove IL able to produce heat up to
1000 degrees, sufficient TO dennolish
the atoms OF six pounds OF mercury
within 10 minutes.
The only thing necessary Tor the
commercial exploitation Of the new
invention to make the dream OF the
ancient alchemigts come true Is to
find and reproduce necessary condi-
lions within the stove under which
the demolished mercury atoms would
turn into gold atoms and not into
some other kind Of atoms.

MUSIC SUBSIDY
IS URGED BY
diplomat
Consul q Berne Declares
Masses Most Desire
Official Aid

We WIN not have governmental
subsidies for music in this country
until good music IL made popular
with the masses, according to the
view OF one American consul who
has studied the situation abroad.
This diplomat is ThornwelI
Haynes, United States consul at
Berne. Switzerland, whose state.
ment IL made ii reply to q ques.
tionnaire submitted by our State
Department.
The inquiry was made to all our
consuls at the request OF Bernard
Greensfelder, an attorney and music
lover. Of st. Louis, who formulated
the SGT Of questions on Subsidies
Granted 70 the Musical Arts
Bureau Of Fine Arts.
Mr. Haynes ventures the opinion
that one aid to government sub
ventions would be q bureau Of fine
arts. Il not q department, which
might soon come into existence at
Washington II q politically Unfit
entail group would resolutely take
the matter In hand. He feels that
their task would be easier, however,
II music itself In America carried
out some serious method OF popu-
larizing itself.
THE question with the United
States" says Mr.. Haynes, ''is not
that Of making Bach and Wagner
and Strauss prevail with select
audiences, but the method or policy
Of making such masters prevail with
q promiscuous audience. Are the
American musicians, who are in.
terested in data such as are fur.
nished by these consular reports,
sufficiently willing to forego what
has been called their despotism in
imparting correct taste, by inter.
spersing simple numbers In q
classical program in order to appeal
to uneducated listeners?
:. In a democracy, 1t IL not alone
the select audiences who vote; and
sUbventions and political policies
which lead to them are. In the
main, II not altogether, determined
by those who cast the ballot. When
these are educated 1t will no longer
DO q question Of subvention--it will
be only the amount of them.
Should Have Wide Appeal.
Have the musicians in America
too much inferred that they alone
can enjoy their art? CONSIDERING
the universal language Of music, II
should not be 30. From the practi.
cal subvention viewpoint. vt IL good
to proceed on the policy that UMPIRE
tentious composition gives joy to
many as well as Beethoven's sonataa
charm the few.
FOR this reason all scientific and
Intellectual lovers of music should
not look with disdain upon even the
simplest melodies Of the photograph
or other musical instruments. In
other words, the matter of subven.
tons IL mostly one of votes, and
votes are cast by the many"

Industrial Situation Shows
 Healthy Trend To Prosperity
New Buildings Announced And Increased Orders
 Booked During Past Week

First certain breaks in the down town real estate situation which has been founded for the past few months largely upon rumors, featured the in dustrial week of the district.
 Plans for at least three new build ings for the city's business district were announced with "a high degree of assurance that they will be put through. These, a new department store, an office building for the Ala bama Power company and an athletic club building, evidence prosperous signs for Birmingham and the section as a whole.
 The declarations will be followed, real estate men believe, by an even more active mart than has been at tracing the attention of investors through March and April.
 Optimistic Lane
 Among the industries conditions re- main with tone of optimism. While the pig iron market is quiet with lit tie interest in future orders brought to bear, stocks show a decrease and shipments continue heavy.
 Announcement that the Hercules Powder company will soon begin work on their new plant near Bessemer was testimonial of faith in the immediate future of the district. Reports that the fourth kiln of the Lehigh Cement company's plant is nearing completion and that plans for the Standard Gas Product company's buildings were pro-

 OPENS ENGAGEMENT
Jefferson AlI-Star Players Pre- sent Famous Success

a"Captain, Applejack," the delightful comedy of romance and adventure, which was the outstanding success in New York during it's years run, opens a weeks engagement Monday night at the Jefferson theatre and promises to be the most amusing comedy yet pre- sented, by Birmingham's own all-Star Players.

 All the members of the company are cast in roles that will send thrills through the audience, as Captain Apple jack" is of such an unusual texture that it's dialogue and lines recall such stage successes as- Seven Keys to Baldpate,'' and Peter Pan." It is play that will delight young and old alike, as it's ac- tiOn takes place for the most part. on the high seas-with mystery, adventure and romance perfectly blended.
