LTTHIUM, LIGHTEST OF METALS,
VALUABLE IN ELECTRIC TRADE
Also Used in Increasing feasibility of Glass During
Latter's Manufacture and in Producing
Opalescent Ware

the manufactured glass. Practically
the entire output of the Embudo mine
at the present time goes into the
glass trade, which consumes enor-
nous quantities annually. Expert
nnentation in recent years has shown
that the use of lithium in the manu-
facture of glass renders the glass
patches more fluid and thus more
easily handled when liquifying. 1t
also materially toughens the glass and
greatly reduces the tendency of the
finished product to shatter.
Lithium is proving to be an ex-
cellent substitute for high-grade
fiuorspar and is extensively used In
the manufacture of white table tops
commonly seen in restaurants. 1t is
also filling a need in the production
of opalescence In glass, an effect
which in the past has been so diff
cult to obtain.
Although the United States pro-
duceS most Of the worlds supply of
lithium ores, prior to the opening OF
the Embudo mine the commercial
supply OF these minerals was confined
principally to the mines of the Black
Hills of South Dakota and TO a mine
in San Diego County, Calf. So pros
porous has been the Embudo mine
that a grinding plant for the prepare
ton of the finished product is now
under construction on the grounds.
This will mean an important saving
in transportation, since heretofore
most of the ore has been shipped to
the Wheeling Pufrerizihg Works at
Wheeling, w. Va, where it was
ground to various meshes suitable for
the requirements of the trade.

The remarkable strike of lepidonte
in the newly opepned mine at Embudo,
northern New Mexico, again calls at
tention to the use Of this unusuai
mineral in industry. Lepidolite,
sometimes called lithia-mica, Is one
of the principal sources OF the rare
element lithium, the Hghtest Of all the
metals. Until well into the present
century lithium, like many Of the
other rarer metals, was nothing moro
than scientific curiosity. Its useful
ness was practically unknown until
about 1899, when 1t was discovered
that lithiun1 salts could be employed
in the manufacture of lithia water,
a we'll known remedy for rheumatism.
Today. however, its position is radl-
cally changed, and lithiun1 occupies
place in commerce that is unique.
This element in the form of hydrox-
ide compound Is used in large quaint
ties in alkaline storage batteries, OF
which the Edison is well known
type. the lithium hydroxide being one
of the substances of electrolytes used
in the storage and reproduction of
electricity from batteries. Lithium
has proved so effective in the pro.
duction of electricity within recent
years that in 1928 Thomas Edison
purchased lithia mine in the Black
Hills, s. Oak, so as to control his
own source of supply.
Bromides and iodides of lithia are
employed in photography, while the
flame color of the metal makes it
highly useful in the manufacture of
fireworks and signal rockets. All OF
these last-named uses are, however,
negligible compared with its use in

BASE BALL POOL CASE
CONTINUED IN COURT
Martin Loewe Arrested on Charge
of Violating Gambling Law.
Patrons File Complaints.

The case of Martin Loewe, % years
old, 1916 Sixteenth street, charged
with violating the gambling law in
connection with operation of the Ma
tional Base Ball Weekly, was con-
tinued when it was called in Police
Court today and Loewe was released
on 81, 00G bond. Detectives Edward j.
Kelly and Arthur ~Scrivener, who ar
rested Loewe about 2 o'clock yester-
day morning, are continuing their in
yestigation, it was explained.
Ioewe's arrest followed complaints
of three patrons of the alleged base
ball pool, who informed police they had
not been paid their winnings, amount
ing to $500, S176 and $50. They follow:
s. J. Ralson, S26 Ninth street, who
charges he was not paid a first prize
Of $500 due him, and John J. Lindsey
and Joseph Lang, both of Soldiers
Home. The formers ticket called for
SITS, while the latter's but $50.
Detectives report that Loewe admits
he was identified with the pool and
that he contends that the first prize
which Ralston claims, was paid to a
man named Mcdonald and that Raj
ston presented a duplicate ticket in
seeking the award. He does not ex-
plain the claims of the other two
patrons.

WHOLESALE POISON
FOR RATS FOUND
Scientist Succeeds in Put
ting Arsenic Into Solution
to Increase Power.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, July &c. - The
Mellon Institute Of this city boasts of
the presence on it's campus of a
verftable Pied Piper of Pittsburgh,
for DR.. Oscar F. Hedenburg, holder
of one of it's Industrial fellowships,
has worked out a new method of
using an old poison, that promises to
wipe out rats and mice in the whole
sale fashion related by Browning in
his famous poem.
In his search for the most efficient
means for cleaning out rodent pests
DIR. Hedenburg tried numerous I'M
usual poisonous compounds, but final
ly came back to the old favorite white
arsenic, OF arsenious oxide, known
since the days of the Borgias. He
found, however, that the ordinary
commercial product Is too uncertain
in it's action and that rats could some
times swallow what should be killing
doses and only get fat on them. The
trouble seemed to be that the ordf-
nary white arsenic was not ground
fine enough and that it would not dis
solve satisfactorily in water. But
when he ground it in water contain
ing an organic colloid substance, like
gum arabic or glue, the arsenic was
reduced to an almost inpa1pable fine
ness-became, in fact, a colloid itself.
In this condition it was extremely
effective and almost incredibly rapid.
A bait containing one two-hundredth
Of an ounce killed a rat in so min
utes, whereas the same dose of ordi-
nary arsenic required "a hours for
fatal effect.
A largesca1e test was made on a
dump where scores of big rats fat
tened Two pounds of poisoned bait
was distributed and many rats were
seen carrying it off. Ten days later
only a couple Of rodents were left
out of the whole population.
DIR. Hedenburg suggests that when
his discovery is put into regular use
and marketed it may be put up into
tubes as paste, to make for economy
in use, and that for safety's sake the
paste should be colored blue.

POLISH PLOT. SEEN
TO TAKE L|THUAN|A
Moscow Gets Alarming Ru-
mors of Preparations to
Annex Baltic State.
BY JUNIJtS b. WOOD.

By-Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MOSCOW, July 26.--A1arIning re-
ports are ernanating from Iithuania
of thinly masked preparations by Po-
land to repeat the exploit OF annexing
the wilma district, invade Lithuania
for the second time and seize the port
of Memel.
The reports have caused a wide
spread repercussion In Russia. While
the tone OF the newspapers Is con-
sentative, the general conversation in
the streets is as to whether Russia
may be involved In the hostiIities. II
SO, It certainly win not be on the
side OF Poland.
Calls Soviet Sole Hope.
THE sole guarantee Of peace on
this, as on other occasions, Is the
Soviet union" says the newspaper
Rabochaya Moskva- I'VE will do
everything possible to prevent the ap-
preaching menace to Baltic peace as
well as to the stability OF Europe, but
we are not deceived by the hollow
protestations Of peace of the Polish
foreign secretary, Zalewski, knowing
the actual acts of the Polish govern
ment.'
The actions already reported indi-
cate that Poland contemplates the
seizure of Mcneil and possibly all Of
Lithuania. These include confer
ence between Marshall Pflsudski with
Gen. Zeligovsli. the captor OF wilma,
near the frontier; the massing OF
Polish troops at frontier villages;
Polish offers secretly to furnish arms
to disgrslntled Iithuanians; inf1ltrar
ton of hundreds OF Polish students
and agitators into Lithuania for the
purpose Of starting disorders. This
latter is expected to justify Polish In
PREVENTION under guise Of preserving
order.
Predicts Move On Latvia.
'"The situation is different than in
the Wilma era, for Iatvia Is expected
to move, realizing that Polish expan-
sion win not stop at Menel and Kov-
no, but will continue to Libau, giving
Poland two ports on the Baltic" says
the newspaper Pravada. Under the
pretoxt of giving aid, Poland will in
wade as before, hoping for an alliance
with Lithuania like that between
knight and a horse-Poland being the
knight.
THE League of Nations remains ST.
lent regarding Lithuania's absorption
as It did regarding Morocco and Ahys-
sinia. Meantime, England is attempt
ing to create a buffer against soviet
Russia from the Baltic to the Black
Sea, lulling Latvia with whispers of
red danger until she awakes with Ze-
ligorslti's bayonets at her throat.
Seizure of Lithuanta by Poland not
only threatens our boundaries, but
makes east Prussia q defenseleSs is
la nd in the Polish sea-"
The Soviet Russian government in
sists it does not foresee that it will
be involved in the trouble itself.

Presidency Is Hazardous.

Boing President of Haiti has been a
lively and hazardous occupation for
many years, the history of that little
republic showing II presidents have
been ousted by revolution, two were
murdered, five died in office under
suspicious circumstances, one per-
ished in an explosion, one was poi
soned, another died of violence.
But the epidemic subsidized in 1915,
when the United States stepped in to
help establish and develop orderly
government and the recent presiden
tial election, the twenty-seventh to be
held, passed off without a revolution,
without a murder, and the chance for
a president to live out his term and
end his days in peace have been vastly
with the United States Ma
rines helping hold the lid down.
