which Mr.. Mellon was unfamiliar. He
never succeeded. Mr.. Harding was cer-
tain he had him one day at a cabinet
meeting, held about the time of the
disarmament conference, when Far
Eastern matters were under discus
sion in connection with the four-power
treaty. He casually asked Mr.. Mellon
some question about the Chinese East
ern Railroad property of which some
of the other cabinet members had never
heard With equal casualness, and I'M
aware that the President was trying to
trip him. Mr. Mellon replied explicitly
to the amaZement and delight of the
President and every one else. He had
been for some years a director of the
Chinese Eastern. Indeed, at the time
he entered the cabinet and divorced
himself from active business it was
said that he held more directorshipS
than any man in the Nation.
The idea of the myth is fed doubt
less, by the lack of ostentation on the
part of this man, reputed to be the
third richest in the United States.
Men capable of great featS of fiscal and
governmental management are expect
ed by the public to make louder noise
and more display Mr.. Mellon simply
is not that type of man; therefore,
he is mystery.
Since the marriage of his daughter
Ailsa to David H. K. Bruce of Balti-
more few years ago. Mr.. Mellon has
gone about socially very little. But
any one who desires may see him every
evening, walking home through the
streets of Washington to his apart
ment. Even in bad weather he trudges
homeward in the twilight, indiStin-
guishable from the crowd of Govern
ment clerks-Save for the fact that he
usually works until a much later hour
than the clerks of his department and
frequently carries brief case full of
Government papers home to work on
at night
In both the Harding and Coolidge
cabinets Mr.. Mellon and Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover were the closest
friends among cabinet members. Both
men are characterized by extreme sim
plicity and directness.
His Personal Appearance.
Mr.. Mellon is not striking in personal
appearance. He is of medium height
and quite slender. His hair, his mus
tache and, usually, his clothes are pale
gray. This slight, unobtrusive figure
seems almost to merge into its surround
ings. The widest stretch of the imagi-
nation cannot visualize upon Secretary
Mellon the white-vest. frock-coat cos
tune of the typical politician. But
close scrutiny reveals man keen OF
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-20

perfection an seems possible. He has
no use for politicians. Attempts have
been made by patronage seeking poll
ticians to bring pressure to bear to OBJ
tain appointments for their henchmen.
It doesn't work with Mr.. Mellon. If
man is efficient, Mr.. Mellon does not
care whether he has politaI pull. If
he is not ef1icient all the influence in
the world cannot get him q job in the
complicated Treasury machine.

Lehigh Professor to Seek Defects
In Steel, Using Radium and X-ray

He was chosen for this task by the
Navy Department recently.
DR.. Doan, in cooperation with the
naval officials, will seek to determine the
power of penetration of the x-rays
through steel, and If the series of expert
ments now going forward prove success
ful, the welding of steel will be inquired
into.
The scope of the new investigation
was thus explained by DR.. Doan: THE
sfncacY of radium in certain cases of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-20

cancer Is now rather well established.
This same radium, due to its penetra-
ton of solid objects. also offers attrac-
tive possibilities for testing steel objects
of all kinds. The plan is to shine the
gamma rays of radium directly through
the entire steel object and onto a pho
tographic plate behind the object. A
light spot found on the photograph may
reveal an internal form in the steel"
DR.. Doan pointed out that the X-ray
is one of mans most useful servants,
both in medicine and scientific research.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-20

The use of radium and X-rays for
determining defects in the steel will be
the basis of a series of experiments to
be conducted at the Naval Research
Laboratory at Bellevue, D. c., by DR..
G. E. Doan of Lehigh University,
specialist In the industrial application
of X-ray technique. DR.. Doan has just
reported to the laboratory and will be
engaged in this work for about month.
