BRITISH CHEMISTS
 SEEKING SECRETS
Trying to Lam Tuning Cod
 Into Iia

London. Jan. 27 R1The old d. chemists tried 10 turn tin and cop per into gold. But British scientists are now thinking of going them no better. by turning gold into tin and copper.
 Copper and tin deposits are rap- idly running out. while the gold supply continues undiminished. In time. scientists here say. copper and tin will become 70 valuable that 1t will pay chemists to transform gold and silver into these more useful metals.
 British scientists, in an interview in the Daily Mail. gay there is only about 100 years' supply of copper in tho world. Cables and electrical devices are using up great quanti- ties of 1t. The marvellous durability of gold will make 1t good substi- tute for copper when the time comes that gold is more plentiful than copper.
 The alluvial deposits Of tin in Cornwall have all been worked out. and the only tin now produced there is from vein mining. Five sixths of all the tin in the world is obtained from such alluvlal de- posits. England is depending on such small areas as Guiana, Bolivia and Straits Settlements for nearly all the tin which goes into com nodities industrially indispensable.
 By encouragement of the cleo irons of gold scientists say they may some day be able to transmute gold

PAN-AM MEET
NEAR CLOSE
OF SESSIONS
Congress In Havana
Attains Many OBJ
jectives; New Pacts
Yet to be Signed

HAVANA, Feb. 90 Up With
agreements and treaties arrived at
ready for signature, the Pan-Amer-
lean congress today moved rapidly
toward conclusion Of lis labors. Con-
troversies on questions Of the tariff
and Intervention had ended and only
the formalities Of closing the ses-
sion we're before the delegates Of
u American republics.
The United States representatives,
il is stated on the highest authority,
consider that more progress has
been made on the program OF this ga
thering than any Of the previous
ones.
The accomplishments of the con-
ference include:
Establishment of the principle OF
compulsory arbitration for the set
Element Of inter-American disputes,
except those pertaining to the SOW
ereignty and independence Of nations
in purely domestic problems.
A Pan-American union convention,
placing that body on a permanent
basis and permitting the members tc
have special representatives on the
governing board instead of diplo-
mats regularly accredited TO WASH
ington.
Make Aviation Pact
A treaty on the rights and duties
of neutrals in event of
A commercial aviation convention

tries.
A treaty placing aliens abroad or

The United States declined to par
ticipate on constitutional grounds.
Arbitration Bright Spot
The United States delegation re
CARDS the resolution on compulsory
arbitration as perhaps the brightest
achievement of the parley. A con
ference must be called within a year
for Washington to discuss minimum
exceptions and draw up a Pan-Amer
lean convention for arbitration.
The United States delegates ex
pect this agreement to be well con
sidered, as it lacks the disadvantage
Of hasty conclusion and fragmentar,
statements.
They declared the aviation con

! achievement. guaranteeing the pos
sibility Of efficient commercial avia
ton in this hemisphere.
The unanimous agreement OF thu
conference in forbidding the Pan
American union to engage in politica
activities appears TO the United

union from disintegration.
