QUITS j. s. JOB
BY Universal Service

An unassuming, quiet young
Dutch professor yesterday rendered
his resignation to the Secretary Of
Commerce in order to return to Hol-
land and take up his classes in
science at the University of Amster-
dam.
But in the 10 months that DIR. T.
L. De Bruin has been toying in his
laboratory here at the Bureau Of
Standards he has mastered five
defiant elements which for years
puzzled scientists.
DR.. De Bruin, according to Off
cials OF the Bureau of Standards,
has succeeded in completely defin-
ing chlorine, bromine. iodine. kryp-
ton and xenon, and has made i'm.
portant discoveries concerning the
deadly metal arsenic.
Although the three halogens,
bromine, chlorine and iodine, have
long been well known to science,
they have never been completely
defined because of their great
activity. All are so susceptible to
combination with other metals that

or keep them in their natural state,
and for this reason their study has

to remove those apparently useless

But, and this is where the jewel

1t seems that the rules of .eti-

she must wear them at all times

whatever else may disappear we
can rest assured that the carefully

SCOFFS At
GAS BAN

PITTSBURGH. July 3 u.N.Sl.--
From this city, heart of the great
Pennsylvania industrial region, may
pour a flood OF poison gas that will
make the next war a shambles, ac-
cording 10 Maj. Gen. Harry L. Gil
christ. Chief OF the Chemical War
fare Service, United States Army.
However. the United States will
not resort to gas unless the enemy
begins IL. General Gilchrist added.
One third Of the fatalities In the
world war were caused by poison
gas, the Army chief pointed out,
when asked IL gas would be aban-
doned in the next great conflict.
U. s. To Be Prepared
"Do you think such weapon is
going to be abandoned?" he asked.
Despite the fact the use OF gases,
many of which have been developed
since the war, has been banned by
agreement OF the lead liz nations of
the world, the United States will not
be unprepared in case that weapon
Is resorted to, 1t was indicated.
Constant efforts are being made
to develop sources of poison gas, as
well as new types. officials OF this
branch of the army pointed out.
Pittsburg i, Gilchrist said, would be
the chief source OF supply In case
of a war In which gas was used.
General Gilchrist called attention
to the Washington conference where
many nations formed agreements
not to use gas, in pointing out it
would be impolitic for him to ex-
press an opinion. as to the impor-
tance of gas in future wars. But,
said General Gilchrist:
Suppose two men were to make
an agreement that il they get into a
fight they will not throw bricks
Suppose they fought, but one of
them found himself hard pressed but
with a pile of bricks at hand. Do
you think he would refrain from
using them?'

EXPENSE

Faced with the prospect Of an
enormous dificit Tor 1929-one which
may run several hundred per cent
above any In history President
Hoover has called upon his aides at
the Post Office Department for
closer reckoning and a more strtfl.
gent pruning Of overhead.
The cost OF carrying the United
States mail has increased by leaps
mad bounds In the past three years
In 1925, the Treasury was called
upon to write off q shortage OF
slightly less than $4,000, 900. The
year 1927 found this deficit up to
more than &31, 900 900. and last year
the ''red" figure surpassed SSS, ,O00,s
900.
This Year High
There are Indications this years
deficit may reach q sensational high
Of $75, 100000 or more.
President Hoover realizes the facSf
tors which have brought about this
ever.increasing cost are OF a nature
over which the administration can
have no sweeping control, but both

The 1929 books of the Post Office
Department are going to be sorely

Commerce Commission. The latter
agency ruled that $51 900, 900 must
be paid the railroads to recompense
them for underpay during the last
four years of mail-carrying.
Congress awarded night mail
clerks $4,000 900 additional pay ard

CHICAGO ROCKS
ARE STUDIED

CHICAGO, July . n.N.s.).-The
earliest evidences of the existence
Of life in what is now Chicago are
estimated to date back six hundred
million 600 900, ,O0Ol years. according
to Associate Curator Henry w. Mich

The life of that time. according to
Curator Nichols, consisted only of
simple orders of animals and plants.
of which he says abundant records
have been found fossilized in the
rocks Of the region.
Records Obscure
I'VE know something of world

in the vicinity of Chicago, deeply
buried, and at best the records they
hold are obscure and difficult to in.

THE geological history of Chicago

tered. There have been no volcanic
eruptions, no formation and destruc-
ton OF mountains, and in short, no
geological forces have here acted
with that vigor, common elsewhere,
which has left traces in broken,
folded and contorted rocks.
1T is true that the site of the
city has many times been submerged
by the sea, and emerged again, but
those submergences have been slow
and orderly processes, due either
to bodily changes in the level of
the region as a whole, or to varia-
tions in the level OF the sea.
Rocks Unchanged
"The rocks of the city still lie
horizontal as they were swhen de-
posted. and they have undergone
few changes, save the hardening
and recrystalization process due to
the pressure of everything rocks and
the lapse OF time.
''The changes of level which have
admitted and driven by the sea
have not been great Only once
has the region stood at any great
elevation, and at no time have
the submerging seas attained any
great depths. Even at the present
day a depression OF the land levels

QUESTIONS
.RA|SEDBY
MENU

Today The Times prints the
second day of the famous
Hollywood 18,day diet.
Already we have been swamp
ed with telephone calls about
the diet. For instance it was
called to the attention of the
diet editor that in the dinner
in yesterdays diet strawberries
were listed and the straw
berries in Washington are al
most out of season and the
good ones are expensive. You
Gan substitute blackberries or
huckleberries.
Another questioner wanted to
know how the diet would affect a
iiabetic. Let us emphasize again
the fact that il you are not in good
health you should not follow any
diet not prescribed by physician.
The diet as printed in The Times
has been carefully revised and cor
rected by Alfred w. McCann, inter-
nationally recognized food expert.
1t preserves the balance OF vita
minis required by the normal person.
With 1t you can control your weight
and preserve your health, which Is
the important thing.
AS a result of the popularity at
-. q.
day diet, which Is being printed
daily in The Times, the Mayflower
Hotel Coffee Shop today introduced
Q special menu based on the diet.
The menu. while 1t follows in
way the diet as carried in The
Times; is not the diet as revised
and corrected by the dietary expert,
Alfred w. McCann.
The diet menu attracted its first
patrons at breakfast at the coffee
shop. Misses Mary Henry, Lalla
Lynn, Mary Virginia Yellot, and
Elizabeth Dunlap, washington debu-
tantes, were among the first to try
it.
The screen stars Of Hollywood
use this diet. They spent much
money to get 1t. The Times gives
it to its readers for nothing.
# you tune in on the Household
Chat from VOL at 10 q. m. each
morning but Saturday and Sunday
you win hear more about the diet.
We should like to know. what the
diet does for you. Write to the
Diet Editor, Washington Times, and
tell him. We win not use your
name or print your letter If you
do not wish it.
You can clip each days diet as it
appears in The Times and follow
it later or you can send it away to
some friend who may be interested
in a diet. Here is the second days
