INCREASED Use OF METAL PER
CAPITA MEANS MINING MUST
PROSPER, SAYS NOTED EXPERT

The increased use of metal per
capita in the United States has
created a condition under which min
eraI producing communities cannot
help but prosper, is the conclusion
drawn by H Foster Balm, secretary
of the American Institute of Mining
Engineers and former director of the
United States Bureau of Mines, who
was in Douglas recently.
The figures show, according to Balm
that the transition from vegetable
to metaliflerous type of civilization
is all but complete. Vehicles made
mainly of wood and drawn by an:-
NAL power, for example, have be-
come less than memory to the new
generations, and the transfer of met
al made cars propelled by mineral
fuels is complete. This complete
change in vehicular methods, Bain
regards as a symbol of what is go
ing on in the world now.
Consumption Doubles.
In 1920, he points out the per
capita consumption of pig iron in the
United States was five pounds. In
1928, it was 800 pounds. The 1923
figure was just twice that of &c
years previously. The worlds copper
output in the last Is years was as
much as that of the preceding III
years. Corresponding demands have
been made on other minerals. The
per capita consumption of all min
erals in the United States has multi
piled ten times in 40 years
In the hundred years from the close
IL +o bo hoUin,
ming of the World war, the white pop
ulation of the world was multiplied
by three, but the output of tin in
creased 26 times, of copper SO times
of the mineral fuels Is times, ant
of pig-iron over a hundred times
Many minerals, considered curiositie!
if they were known at all, have be
come vital cogs of civilization, and
as in the case of nickel, tungstel
and manganese integral parts of tn
worlds everyday life.
!. Age of Metals Awaits Abroad
The use of metals has even in
creased in the last ten years over tn
peak war time consumption, accord
ing to Bain's figures. The Unite'
States production of lead in 1925, fo
example, was 10000 tons more thai
in the maximum year of the war.
In other countries than the Unite
States, the age of metal has not ye
so completely dawned, but Balm
figures show that were the America
standards of living to be applied t
Germany, France and the Unite
Kingdom, the American production o
copper would have to go up SO pc
cent to meet the demand created. NTh
demand for other metals would g
up in proportion The application o
these standards in European countrie
is constantly becoming more Ger

tain eventuality.
Such tremendous increase in outs
put and consumption has raised the
question of possible exhaustion OF
mineral supply, according to Balm.
This, he said, points to two things,
an increase in technical knowledge
of mining and minerals which will
enable the world to draw on un-
touched and unsuspected resources,
perhaps deeper below the earth's sur
face than any mine has yeto pene-
trated; or change IN the economies
of mineral consumption.
New Fields PrOb1ematfc
Discovery and exploitation Of new
mineral-bearing regions is problemat-
ical at best, according to Balm, and
the trend has been in the direction
of the other horn of the dilemma.
While there is no geological reason
why mining should not be revolution
lied by new technical discoveries, ac-
cording to Balm, the unexhausted re-
serves of the human mind are more
reliable than those of the earth. New
chemical discoveries which will leaG
to reclamation of a constantly in
creasing proportion of metals are the
need at the present time, his figures
of consumption, production and con-
servation show
Increased conservation, according to
Balm, will be brought about by the
discovery of processes which will
eliminate waste, such as by eorrosion,
and by the substitution of more como
mon metals for many uses In which
reclamation is impossible.
| The result according to BainS will
eventually be that all metals will
have stability of price ana produc~
tion similar to that now enjoyed by
gold. In time it may well happen
that the essential needs of mankind
may be met with but small additions
Of virgin metal This, according &c
Balm, is the present goal of mineralo-
gists, chemists and mineral engineers

GERMAN SHOWS
u. S. BATTLES
in MINIATURE
(Dy Dispatch A. r. wlre)


BERLIN, Oct. 2.-The battle of Sara
toga again is being fought, and thou
sands Of spectators are viewing the
sanguinary encounter.
The battle-ground is Wahnschaffc's
top shop in Munich, where there is on
exhibition perfect reproduction of the
1777 encounter between Burgoyne and
Gates and Schuyler.
wilhelm Nahde, tin holder fancier,
some time ago went to the United
States to inspect the Saratoga battle-
field and search the libraries for de-
tailed accounts of the fighting. Return
ing to Germany he ordered from a
Nuremburg firm of tin soldier manu-
facturers his army. Nahde personally
painted the little men, reproducing per-
fectly the uniforms of the Americans,
English, Hessians and Indians. The
exhibit shows the troops arranged as in
1777 with Burgoyne, Gates and Schuy-
ler commanding. The spectators ex-
press especial admiration over the gor-
geous headgear Of the Indians.

Radio fans are rejoicing that Berlin
street cars are to be equipped with
electric radiators to replace the coal
stoves.
In studying the nature of noises OF
all kinds that interfere with radio pro-
grams, it has been found that street
railways and vacuum cleaners are
chiefly responsible for static disturb
ances. Every time street car ora
vacuum cleaner stops there is a noise
in the radio.
BY equipping street cars with elec-
trio heating, the electric current will
flow uninterrupted. even though the
car stops. Now the radio enthusiasts
want the manufacturers of vacuum
cleaners to so change the mechanism as
to insure steady flow of electric cur
rent.

AS far as a public man can enjoy
nrivacy during his vacation, President
Won Hindenburg. succeeded admirably
in choosing a secluded spot in the Ba-
varian highlands.
Unlike Paul Smiths in the Adiron-
dacks, where President Coolidge spent
his vacation, no newspaper representa-
tives hovered over the chief executives s
summer abode and no staff of secre-
taries and stenographers converted
Frau Won Schilcher's castle into
workshop. The only evidence of the
distinguished guests presence was a
guard of Bavariah police stationed at
the castle, much against the presi-
dents wish.
The mountain folk exhibited remark
able restraint while the president was
at Dietramszell. Even the daily coach
from Munich, which ordinarily came
to Dietramszell, ended it's trip near
Schoenegg, so as not to disturb the
guest. Only when the president ven
tured on excursions was it impossible
for him to evade ovations by cheering
crowds.

MRS. HALL
PROVED SHE
IS 4 LADY
One of Few Women Who
Won ACquittaI Without
Flirting With Jury.
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson.

To those of us who have become
weary Of the people who express
and that loudly, all Of their emo
tons, the behavior of Mrs. Fran
ces Hall, recently acquitted of muir
der, is at least a pleasant change.
Whether she was guilty or not
and since the jury has exonerated
her we must assume the latter-she
certainly put some fine old'fashioned
composure on record. And after
you have listened 80 long to the bah
bling Of shallow streams, the quiet
Of still waters is soothing.
Nowadays we know that 1t is the
style to be noisily intense. The few
er emotions women have the liikener
they are to be emotional. A lady
like quiet is almost as obsolete as
crinoline.
For me, I delight in Mrs. Halls
silence. Here. is one woman who
has been in the limelight for weeks
and months. She has had people prob
ing at the secret places Of her heart.
She has held the attention Of the
nation. And yet, she has not given
out q single interview TO the press
that was over ten words long. She
hasn't promised to write the story
Of her life for the papers. She didn't
beg for sympathy. She didn't weep.
And finest of all, she did not betray
her husband, four years dead. She
is one Of those rare beings who can
keep still, and so. after all. in. this
age Of babblers, we must thank heav-
en- for her.
The entire aspect Of this trial was
singularly dignifed and un-Ameri-
can. The prisoners, even though one
Of them Is said to be a half-wtt, con
Quoted themselves like ladies and
gentlemen.
And here was a woman, plain
middle-aged, without any Of this
thing they CALL sex appeal, who
was charged with the most heinous
Of crimes and who was acquitted
without trying to flirt with the
| jury. No matter what else she may
have been, she was lady, and
everybody who read the story OF hel
Gethsemane must acknowledge that
Now that she is free, may she al
least be accorded this tribute which
is her due, and be left to the quie
tude Of her shattered life.
