 Your work in organic chemistry is more active than ours," he says. We are busy with small questions. but here, with the aid of your rich ly endowed universities. founda- tions and industrial laboratories, you are able 70 work along very broad lines"
 As man searches for new synthe- tic materials he must always re- member that nature herself is the cheapest producer. the chemist points out.
 'She works on simple plan,' he says, and does not need the heroic methods of the laboratory 10 &C., complish her work. Sometimes. however, we find that we cannot wait for natures slow processes. and so many substitutes for her products are coming into use. It is impossible to forecast how far our so-called synthetic chemistry can go, but scie nee must not forget that natures ways are frequently cheapest"

CHEMIS7RY'S TASK
 ID BUILD HEALTH
Life SaYinS Also Put of Job,
 Says German

Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 31. N-The next great problems for chemistry to solve lie in the iiection Of human health and the prolongation of life. says pr. Paul Walden. professor of general chemistry at the University of Rostock, Germany.
 Professor Walden is filling the George Fisher Baker nonresident lectureship in chemistry at Cornell University.
 Chemistry is science of peace. and is working for the rich and the poor" asserts Professor Walden. "lt is making life easier and hap pier, but it will go much farther in this direction.
 "Wo shall. for instance. find many new remedies for sickness and infection. decreasing step by step mans susceptibility to disease until we have found cures for every malady. For health is the primary condition of mans prosperity and welfare, and we must conserve it scientifically.
 New alloys, new synthetic ma terials and other aids to material comfort will always be forthcom- ing from the laboratories, but these are really only the by-products of chemical science. Our great prob- lems of the immediate future will be in the extension of mans life span."
 Professor Walden believes that

"The advantages of using sponge iron in the production of steel h; ve long been recognized. but the practice heretofore has not been economical. Our metallurgical en- gineers and chemists have been en- gagged on the problem of producing steel directly from the ore for a considerable period.
 Certain ingenious, though simple apparatus has been developed whereby energy, hitherto wasted, has been conserved and put to work effectively in reducing fuel costs and improving the quality of the product.
 "The procedure is based almost entirely upon known and thorough ly proven methods new in success tu operation in the steel industry The principles are applied, how ever. in a new scientific manner calculated to realize best the bene- tits of the underlying basic dis covery.
 '"The process can be operated in single production units, several Of which may he coordinated to func- ton virtually as one production plant This permits a tremendous fuel saving compared with the blast furnace, open-hearth method in use today.

PO|NCARE SEEN
AS VOTE WINNER
Question of Whether Majority
Will Be Radicals or Mod
crates PuzzIing.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, April 28.-While no doubt is
expressed tnat Premier Poincare will
win majority for union government
at tomorroWs second round election Of
the new chamber, the open question is
whether that majority will consist
largely of Radicals or Moderates.
The Radicals and Socialists have sue
ceeded in making combinations for the
second balloting to such an extent that
the oldest heads are puzzled in attempt
to figure out what the result will be.
The radical leaders count upon re-
gaining for the old Radical-Socialist
coalition much of the ground lost last
Sunday. but this largely through their
own sacritlces to Socialists in districts
where the Socialist candidates led their
own OF the first ballot
The Moderates on the other hand,
calculate tnat on the basis OF last Sun
days vote they will gain total OF 40
to so seats This would give Poincare
a Moderate majority in the chamber.
Those who share neither OF these
viewpoints incline to a belief that the
result will be a stalemate between the
Moderates and the Radical Socialists
combination, with sufficient partisans
of national union government in the
Radical group to give the premier a
working majority 70 continue his imam
cial renovation program.

SNOW AND RAIN MIX.

Fair and Warmer Weather
Likely to Succeed Wintry
Blasts of April Visitation.

Mixing few fiurries of snow in its
final assaults on the National Capital
late yesterday, the April storm which
struck the Atlantic Coast over the
week end was passing rapidly 10 the
North last night, leaving prospects OF
fair and warmer weather for today and
tomorrow.
Forecaster Hanson Weightman looked
for the sun TO break through the clouds
this morning and bring welcome spell
Of balmier Spring weather. for couple
Of days, at least Fresh northwest
breezes may help TO dry up the rain
soaked landscape today
Although they made themselves too
scarce TO be recorded officially, there
were decided fiurries Of snow in many
Of the Capitals suburbs last night. The
temperature hovered around 80 degrees
yesterday. and was due TO drop lower
last night.
The forecaster explained that the
storm, which blanketed the Shenandoah
Valley and western Maryland with near
origin in a disturbance which came
out OF the middle Rickies. swept south
eastewardly across the Gulf States, and
circled up again along the Atlantic
Coast.
Ordinarily, 1t would have resulted
only in torrential rains. but. an un-
expected lowering OF the temperature
turned the precipitation into snow and
produced a yeritabIe blizzard IN parts
Of Virginia and Maryland.

Continued from First rage
League of Nations, has always been
questioned by British opinion.
The real provisions OF these treaties
have never been in accordance with the
spirit and letter of the league covenant
and they belong essentially to the world
Of secret diplomacy rather than to the
new dispensation inaugurated by the
covenant Strong emphasis Is laid on
the fact that clause OF the French
outlawry plan Is designed 70 secure the
benevolent neutrality OF the United
States In case Of war.
In short. the entire spirit OF the docu-
ment contemplates not the abolition ot
war; but strategic provisions In the
event OF war 1t assumes that the
League OF Nations Is nothing less than
an instrument for organizing q collec-
tive war in defense of existing treaties
and territorial status quo. This concep-
ton of the function OF the league ex.
plains the French determination that
outlawry OF war shall not conflict with

which houses these rare objects. but
propose also to assume the financial
burden incident to maintenance there

today by Charles c. Glover, president Of
the institution.
The endowment fund for the building
and its collection Is 10 be the joint gift
of Mrs Clark and Of Mrs. Marius de
BraI)ant. Mrs. Lewis r. Morris and Miss
Hu1uette Marcelle Clark and will be
entirely separate from and over and

erei ton of the addition. Its amount has
not yet been definitely determined and
the details of the plan are to be worked
out later. The sum which they viii
contribute to the permanent assets OF
thG Corcoran Gallery will be based on
tI1c annual cost Of operation. which, Of
course, cannot be definitely determined
until after the gallery trustees have had
sufficient actual experience to prepare
an accurate estimate.
