Says Humans Dependent
Upon Radiated Light

Berlin, Dec. 10. Pl-That all hui
man existence is dependent upon the
radiated light of the universe: from
the stars, the sun and the reflec-
tons from the earth's surface and
fom radioactive substances, was the
object Of a demonstration by Pro-
fessor Adolph Lazarus of the Ber-
lin University at the lest meeting
of the Berlin Medical Society.
Human beings" said Prof. Laz-
arus, 'move about on earth in a
bath of light but our present state
of culture tends to exclude some of
the most valuable and effective Of
these rays of the universe.
Men, compared to women, by
reason Of their modern clothing, live
in an extremely unfaporable state
of temperature. whereas present day
women's clothing has improved the
general state of health to such a de-
gree that the once so prevalent
anaemia among young girls and wo-
men seems to have entirely disap-
peared."

HELIUM MAY Be
FROM hydrogen
Chemistry Test Opens New
Field

Berlin. Dec. 10 R)-What scien-
lists regard as the first step in the
building up OF matter by human ef-
fort is the result Of the announce
ment OF Drs. Kurt Peters and Jacob
Paneth, University Of Berlin chem
lists. that they succeeded In making
helium out OF hydrogen.
The discovery, II adapted to COM
mercial purposes, will revolutionize
the costly method OF extracting the
rare helium gas from natural gas
wells for use in flating the gas bags
of dirigibles, it is believed.
The experiments of the scientists
are among the first authenticated
instances in the struggle of scientists
to unveil the mysteries of atoms and
electrons in which bigger atoms
have been made out of little ones,
instead OF smaller ones out of big
ones. When Professor Miethe and
others said they produced gold from
mercury, they broke down an ele-
ment; but since atomic weight OF
helium Is almost four times that Of
hydrogen, the Berlin savants claim
actually to have built up an ele-
ment.
Drs. Peters and Paneth said they
placed a quantity of palladium
sponge in O sealed test tube of
chemically pure hydrogen. Heated
to high temperature for 4S hours,
the palladium acted as a catalytic
agent, producing, they said, as much
as one-ten-thousandth of cubic
centimeter OF helium from the n.y.
drogen In every succeeding "a
hours. A spectroscopic analysis con-
firmed the presence Of helium,
which in a number of other expert
ments they said they ran off and
separated in another tube. The pro-
cess is not expensive. The time and
labor element is the only thing, they
claim, which so far mitigates against
the usefulness of the process for
commercial helium manufacture.

Way to United States

Philadelphia fine collection of

place in America.
These exhibits, which show how the
arts were practiced over 1000 years
ago under the protection Of the Moon
goddess, are prominent feature Of
the new wing in the museum of the
University Of Pennsylvania. The wing,
which recently was opened, is dedi-
Gated to Eckley Brinton Coke, Jr., in
recognition of his services in aiding
the museum to conduct researches and
excavations, and especially for his
great interest in Egyptology.
The collection from Ur is result

cavate the famous old metropolis.

Spend Half Million
to Get Better Products

Washington. - American industries
are estimated by officials of the bureau
of standards to be spending half anil
lion dollars year in cooperative re-
searches with the bureau to promote
higher standards of products.
Under the research associate plan,
adopted shortly after the war when
the increasing demand for highly
trained technical men threatened de-
pletion of the bureau staff, manu-
facturer places a graduate physicist,
chemist or engineer, at the bureau for
one or more years to carry on, with
government experts, an investigation
of a particular industry.
"This plan," says DR.. George X.
Burgess, bureau director, has proved
valuable, both in the training of addi-
tional research specialists by associa-
ton with the bureau staff and in
maintaining the research output of the
bureau in lines which are of special
industrial importance"
The cooperative method. however,
is looked upon as somewhat more GER
tain of practical results since both the
views of the government and private
Industrial experts are woven into the
tests.

.CALLIOPES HERALD
RIVER SHOWBOATS.
Floating Theaters Begin Their
Summer Season.

Cincinnati.-Callopes shrill musi-
cal blasts reverberate in the small
river towns these warm days as the
showboats, embarked on a promising
summer season, pull along shore and
cast anchor.
In the fleet of floating theaters
from the biggest and oldest to the
smallest, there are nine Of the flat-bot-
toned vessels in operation this year.
They will cruise the rivers from the
extreme points on the Ohio, the Al
legheny and the Illinois to the lowest
points on the South on the Mississippi.
Showboats have played the river
settlements for nearly half century.
Some showmen virtually have made
homes of them and grown old with
them. Their business, many of the
owners say, is as f1ourishing now as.
ever.
The largest afloat this year is the.
Cotton Blossom, with seating ca
pacity of 1000. The Cotton Blossom
has replaced the Golden Rod, which
formerly was the largest.
Then comes French's New Sensa-
ton. On it's up-river cruise it an
chored here for brief lay-over, took
on a number of new people engaged
for the summer and went on its way.
The showboats usually pass by Gin
cinnati unnoticed. When occasionally
they stop the calliope is silent and
there are no crowds to greet them.
Their repertory never finds an audi
ence in Cincinnati, although they do
have patronage in some Of the larger
cities along the course.
1t is mostly in the small river town,
where theaters are few or not at all,
that the calliope awakens the country
side and draws the population for
miles around to the river bank.
The larger boats that have bands
unload the show and invoke holt
the crowd, and the bard spends the
afternoon parading about town, col
lecting an audience for the evening
performance.
There is nothing heavy about the
drama in the river theaters, but they
usually have fair musical accompani-
ment to comedies and the melodra-
matte plays that thrive on mystery
and romance.
The bigger theaters, after spending
the winter South, as is usually their
custom, have headed North, and the
Sc +nJ NV,
which operate only in the summer.

TRIPPED By VANITY,
MOAN OF SWINDLER
Fondness for Fancy Barbering
Leads to Arrest.

Philadelphia. - Robert Whitman,
alias Lord Beaverbrook," and John
81. Wiedemier, who has Travelled I'M
der so many different names that the
list looks like a telephone directory,
sat in his cell in Moyamensing prison
and told of some of his exploits in
swindling wealthy women, while ad-
ditional charges poured in from vari-
GUS parts of the country.
AS he dallied over a specially or
dered meal, the alleged sheik of swim
dlers talked with detectives who ar
rested him.
''My vanity caused my DOWNFALL
he said. 1.-THE gumshoes knew 1 al
ways made for a fancy barber shop
to get a manicure and a massage as
soon as l hit a town, so they just sat
behind their papers in the hotel until
/ walked in. When the barber had
finished the job, they pulled me. I
knew it was all up"
There are many charges against
Iord Beaverbrook." The only one
by a Philadelphia woman, so far, is
made by Mrs. Frances Kemp, who
charges the dapper prisoner swindled
her out of $4,000. Police say there
are at least fifty victims. Some OF
these women he married, some he
swindled and some he both married
and swindled.
A million dollars is the amount he
is said to have taken from his VIC
Tins. At present, however, Whitman
claims to be ''broke," despite the fact
the detectives who arrested him say
he offered to split $4,000 between
them for his freedom. He later
stated he lost 100000 to gamblers in
Atlantic City before coming here.
Police say "his lordship" has long
police record over the country, hav-
ing served several years in prison.
He is alleged to have jumped parole
ON his last sentence. ~
