USES OF QUICK SILVER

While no figures are vailable for the consumption of Quicksilver, nev- ertheless, consumption seems to Eeep pace with production.
 Increase in consumption seems to be more pronounced in the Electrical field than elsewhere, especially, since the introduction of the NEON Electric Signs, and also in Storage Batteries, Recording Instruments, Pyrometers, Thermometers, etc., etc.
 The General Electric Company has been, for many years past, ex- perimenting with a Mercury Boiler, Known as the Emmet Mercuryeo known as the EMMET MERCURY BOILER. These Steam Plants are said to be very efficient, and cut the cost of fuel almost in half They also save greatly in space, and it is
 Tn the "UndergrOund'
 predicted that they will be used in ships in competition with engines of the Diesel Tyne. In fact, 1t is ru- equipped with these Power Plants at the present time. If these Mer- crry Boiler Plants come into general use, it will mean more than any thing else to the producer of Quick silver ,and would undoubtedly in- crease the price far above the pre- sent value
 The uses of Quicksilver are too many to enumerate, but the largest single use of Mercury is in the man. utacture of illuminate of Mercury. which is probably the most powerful explosive made. A large portion of the production goes into the manu- facture of Drugs and Mercurials. Considerable amounts are used as insecticides, as Anticeptics, and in the manufacture of felt hats from rabbit fur Mercuric Nitrate is used 10 roughen the hairs so they will adhere together, a process technic- ally known as "carroting."
 Bichloride of Mercury is one of the most active poisons. and the

is one of the fastest and most brilli- ant colors.
 Considerable quantities of Mer- cary enters into the manufacture cf marine paints for ship bottoms, T modern and at present, a rapidly increasing use. The Mercury for t'is purpose is generally employed aa the red mercuric oxide, it's ef1c- 2cy depending upon the gradual conversion of the oxide to the pois- cnous bchloride by the sodium chloride of salt water.
 In the past, large amounts of me tallic Quicksilver have been employ cd in the amalgamation of gold and silver ores, though in later years, II e large application of the cyanide process has decreased it's use.
 Mercury is also used for certain compounds to prevent boiler scale. and 300 fasks of Quicksilver, or 33, 900 lbs., is used yearly in the mo- nufacture of ladies' cosmetics. Also as Dental amalgam, and for float ing certain types of revolving lights in light houses. An import ant use of Mercury is in the manu- fracture of glacial, acetic acid, by the oxidation of acetylene.
 Tn fact, there are so many uses being found for the metal, that there is no doubt but what there may be a scarcity of this commod- ivy, during the next few years, and with a scarcity, an increase in the price is bound to result.-'Under- ground" San Francisco

The Gales Special School always has
waiting list.
It has become q sort of bad boy
clinic where parents consult about their
children. They are encouraged to come
to the school, since great deal of the
treatment must be applied ii the home
1t is more often the home than the
school which Is responsible for the
trouble.
Usually. after vacations much of the
work must be done over again, Fife
says. The boys, associating for week
or two with their old gangs. have re-
learned some of their bad habits and
return to school surly and ill-man-
nered.
Gang life among Washington boys is
a vital factor which never has been
thoroughly investigated. It is full of
secret societies. crap-shooting clubs, etc,
which nobody knows anything about ex-
cept the boys themselves. The prob
lem of turning the activities of these
secret societies into healthy channels is
a difficult one, the solution of which
never has been attempted.
Fife himself is member of one secret
society which meets in an abandoned
house, but he never has been able to
obtain the permission of the boys to in
troduce any other adult. Up to this
year the principal activity was crap
shooting, but he has been partially sue
cessful in interesting the boys in boxing
and other athletic diversions. But it is
first essential to gain the confidence of
the boys. They have all the traditional
pacts signed with blood not to reveal
any of the secrets Many of these boys
are not touched by the Boy Scouts, the
Boys Club or any of the religious or
CARNATIONS devoted to boy welfare
They exert tremendous influence on

|NOTED NAVY PILOT
| TO QUIT SERVICE
Famous "Three Sea Hawks"
to Be Broken Up by Tom
Iinson Resignation.

The famed Navy aerial stunt outfit,
the Three Sea Hawks" which won
lasting fame last Summer at the Cali
fornia national air meet, is to be broken
UP by the resignation of its leader,
Lieut.. D. w. cIndian Joe") Tomlinson,
who now Is stationed at the Naval Air
Station, Anacostia.
Lieut.. TomlinSon, although his reSig-
nation has not yet taken effect, is out of
the Navy to all practical purposes, as
he is on leave from the local post. He
has signed up as a pilot on the Mad
dox Air Line, one of the leading air
transport companies on the West Coast
The Sea Hawks were organized last
year by Lieut.. Tomlinson, his flying
mates being Lieut.. W. v. Davis and
Lieut.. A. P. Storrs. both of whom are
still on duty with the Navy air forces.
They created one of the outstanding
sensations of the great California meet
last September by their daring aero
battles in close formation.
Lieut.. TomlinsOn has had a pic
tureSque career in the Navy flying serv-
ice, dating back to the World War
He began his flying days as second
pilot on a Navy flying boat patrolling
the Virginia Capes in search of Ger
man submarines during the war. He
has flown on every possible occasion
since that time, transforming the
country during his periods of leave
from active service.
He has survived several spectacular
crashes. He was plotting the big Navy
patrol plane phil when it caught fire
recently during its first test flight from
the Naval Air Station here. He sue
ceeded in Bleaching the blazing plane
and saving his entire crew, although
the plane was burned to the last in
f1ammable particle, part of the metal
hull melting.
Just short time before he escaped
when the tail surface on a new plane
he was testing gave way in the air
during a power dive. He stuck with
the crippled plane and brought it down
safely. He crashed on another occa.
sion at LIE Roy, N. Y, but walked away
from the wreck uninjured.

OVER 2OG0VERNORSI
TOBE HERE MARCH A
Inauguration Invitation Ac-
ceptanceS Are Received by
Parade Chairman.

Governors of fully half the States
of the Union are to gather in WASH
ington March 4 to honor Herbert Hoo
yer on the occasion of his inaugural
as President of the United States. Re-
plies to inquiries sent out by Gen. An
ton Stephan, chairman of the parade
committee for the inaugural, indicate
that more than 20 State executives will
come to Washington to take part In the
procession which the new President will
lead down Pennsylvania avenue to the
White House.
Gen. Stephan anticipates little diff
ficulty in settling the matter Of State
precedence in the parade. which has
sometimes caused trouble in getting the
units into the procession in proper
order. He said today that the parade
committee will insist that all march,
ing units must be ready to take their
places in the line of march, and will
be arranged according to the date OF
admission of the State they represent
into the Federal Union. The vexing
matter of precedent will thus be settled
in manner which the chairman feels
must be satisfactory to ALL
DR.. Hiram w. Evans, imperial wizard
of the Ku Klux Khan. reiterated today
his previous declaration that the Khan
does not intend to ask for place in
the parade, and under no circumstance
will take an official part in the inaug-
ural ceremonies. Dr. Evans feels that
1t is not the place for Sectarian body
TO appear, and made 1t plain the Khan
does not intend to stage any kind OF
demonstration during the inaugural
period.
An indication that the inaugural
grandStand committee may meet with
considerable competition in its sale of
seats in the stands to stretch along
Pennsylvania avenue came in an I'M
supported report that group of New
York men plan to rent window space
in the unused ST. James Hotel. at Sixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue on
March 4, with view to renting seat
ing space in the windows from which
spectators may watch the passage of
the parade.
Meanwhile, however, plans of the
grandstand committee are going ahead
with no change, in an effort to raise
a considerable amount of money toward
defraying the expenses of the COM
mittee from the sale of grandstand
seats. The committee has not yet OFF,
cially set price for the sale of seats.
Intimations that there may be an OPP
position Official program" arranged by
private parties brought no response from
the committee. The inaugural committee,
however, will have exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the stands constructed under
its direction and will have authority
over the route of the parade.

ALASKAN VOLCANO
AREA DESCRIBED
Dr.. Jaggar Tells of Home of
Worlds Largest Carniv-
or0uS Animals.

The home of the worlds largest car
nivorous animals, the Alaskan brown
bears, was described last night for men,
bers of the National Geographic Society
by DR.. Thomas A. Jaggar in an adj
dress at the Washington Auditorium.
DR.. Jaggar, who is director of the Ha-
waiian Volcano Observatory and an
authority on volcanology, led an expe-
dition of the society last Summer to
the Alaskan Peninsula primarily to
study volcanic phenomena in the neigh
borhood of Pavlof Volcano.
Botanic, geologic and biologic speci-
mems were also collected, however: and
one of the most stirring chapters in DR..
Jaggar's address last night was the
story of the bagging of a tremendous
brown bear, illustrated with pictures Of
the episode taken by the expeditions
staff photographer. The creature meas
ured nearly 10 feet from nose to tail.
Map Errors Corrected.
The expedition made close study of
the area around Pavlof Volcano and
corrected numerous map errors that
have existed since the charts made by
early Russian explorers. Under the
plane-table work of the expeditions to-
pographer, supposed range of noun
tains, two large bays, an extensive
glacier disappeared, and a valley sup
posed to contain six lakes was found to
have no less than 500. One of the
most important activities of the to-
pographer was the extension of map
work entirely across the peninsula to
Bering Sea. For this work horses were
taken along by the expedition. They
penetrated into regions where such ami
mails probably had never been before.
An area $500 square miles in extent
was mapped.
Not a tree was found in the area
traversed. Coarse grass grows near the
beaches and in the marshes. and on
this fodder the horses throve. The
wood needed by the party was obtained
from drift along the shore. Much of 1t
came from the wreckage of salmon
traps, broken up by Winter storms.
Many Photographs Obtained.
Many photographs were obtained of
Pavlof Volcano and its crater, and much
material was collected for future scien-
tific study. The volcano was active in
1906, 1911, 1914, 1917 and 1923, and, in
DR.. Jagger's opinion, is about ready for
another outbreak.
In its Summers work the expedition
encountered numerous wild animals, in
GLIDING considerable herds Of caribou,
numerous hair seals, bears and foxes.
Fish and clans were abundant and
these and gulls eggs supplemented the
food supply.
An unusual piece of equipment taken
by the expedition was combined auto
mobile and boat. Its gasoline engine
drove its wheels along the beaches and
operated a propeller in the water. This
strange craft proved useful on many
occasions, DR.. Jaggar said Drawn up
on land at night it provided sleeping
quarters for the leader of the expedi-
ton.
