Chemist Copies ''Accidents of Nature"
To Produce Rare Metals i'm Test Tubes

We can't all have roofs of gold in
stead of copper, lead or tin, because In
nature the baser metals are more prob
able and therefore more abundant;
they had more chance OF being formed
In the vast crucibles of time.
It isn't merely an accident that gold
IS rare and aluminium Is plentiful on
earth, nor that windows are not made
of diamonds, yet SO great has been the
addition which chemicals have made to
the worlds storehouse, even in the last
decade, that the time will come when
products which are rare today will be
plentiful, said Prof. Norris F. Hall, Uni
versity of Wisconsin chemist, in a
recent broadcast. His subject was
''Why Not Acres of Diamonds?"
Within recent years the whole COM
plexion of modern life has been changed
by the development Of host Of new
products of physico-chemical research,
Prof. Hall said. Radio tubes, cheap
structural steel, duralun1in for airships
are a few examples Beyond these still
lies q vast field of research before a
final goal is reached.
We still feel a profound dissatisfac-
ton with a world where foodstuffs and
clothing must be slowly and painfully
produced by toilsome processes, where
rare metals must be hunted With nard-
ship and danger, where radium is so
rare that we must pay fortunes for a
tiny quantity.
Surprising, too. perhaps, is the fact
that, except for local variations, the
entire universe consists of the same
stuff as our earth-the same 80 chemi-
cal elements and their combinations.
And there is some evidence that these
exist all over the universe in similar
proportions. This is true not merely
because of geological changes in the
history of the planet, but because ii
is so from the nature of things. In
the cons during which the planet was
in the making. an atom Of a baser
metal had more chances of being
formed than the more complex atom
Of gold.
BY accidents of nature, in which q
molten earth gradually solicited, 1t Is
possible that the heavier metals sank
into the core, leaving traces in the outer
shell which man now mines. Rare
radium breaks up as fast as 1t is formed
Lighter gases like helium escape out
beyond our atmosphere.
Despite these obstacles says Prof
Hall, the r-'-'' 1T who cannot make

Costumes Extraordinary

Cavalry officers dressed as fairies. ana
titled women in trousers were among
the guests at an extraordinary jug and
bottle" party which from shortly before
midnight continued into the wee sEna'
hours in Chelsea, under the auspices Of
the Bright Young People of London. A
crowd watched the arrival of the guests
in their weird costumes, and police, In
view Of the complaints at recent Bright
Young Peoples parties, kept an eye on
the building. Half the men turned up
dressed as women and half the girls as
men. Music was provided by band OF

from theater queues and street corners
by the hoStesses, and hot dogs formed
the principal item on the menu for
people whose family tree was at least
800 years old and their bank balances

Arliss Insisted On
Alice Joyce For

Beautiful Alice Joyce. favorite

by George Arliss, the famous
actor, to play opposite him in
his new Vitaphone version Of
"The Green Goddess" now play
ing at Warmers Metropolitan
Theater.
Mr.. Arliss, who starred in
the Green Goddess" on the
stage, also selected Miss Joyce
to play opposite him some years
ago when he made a silent
motion version of the play.
When the actor decided to
make an audible record of the
play for Warner Brothers, he
insisted that Miss Joyce be cast
opposite him.
Miss Joyce began her career
with the old Kalem Company,
while a girl in her teens, and
her Beauty and ability soon
gained her Stardom. At the
height Of her success, Miss
Joyce married and temporarily
abandoned her career. Recently
she returned to the screen and

DECLARES
CONSTITUTION
IN PERIL

PHILADELPHIA, March as
The Constitution Of the United
States sis in process Of deteriora-
ton, and not of growth" In the
opinion of Representative James
M. Beck. nationally recognized as
one Of the foremost students Of
that document in the country.
Beck discussed the Changed
Conceptions of the Constitution"
In an address before the members
of the American Philosophical So
ciety.
THE Constitution" the former
Solicitor General of the United
States declared, ''is something
more than written and definite
contract. It is q living organism,
susceptible of adaptation and,
therefore, Of infinite growth, and
its vitality depends upon its cor
respondence with the necessities
and the spiritual tendencies Of the
American people.
AssaiIs Prohibition
1.-THE Constitution is not today
what 1t was so years ago, nor was
1t then what it was a half cen
tury earlier, and it Is safe to pre-
dict that it will not be SO years
from now what it is today. The
eternal inquiry arises Quo Vadis?'
Are treading the downward path
to AvernuS, from which escape is
so difficult, or are we ascending
to new and nobler heights of con.
stitutionalism?
Time will not suffice to illus
trate my meaning by suggesting
the portentous changes to which
the Constitution has been sub
jected. I can only indicate a few
in O passing sentence. One is
the crowning atrocity of the
Eighteenth Amendment, which in
vades individual liberty in
manner at which Washington and
Franklin would have stood aghast
and which, in this respect. rele.
gates the once proudly conscious
States to the ignominious position
Of being merely police provinces"
Cites Flexible Tariff
Beck also pointed to the "flex.
ible tariff" provision passed by
the House, which gave an al
most unlimited discretion to the
President, with the aid of the
Tariff Commission, to raise or
lower any duty to the extent of
SO per cent of the statutory rate"
as IAN abandonment of a time
honored principle of English
liberty and a probable violation
Of the Constitution.
Although the changes wrought
in the organic vitality of the
Constitution have been effected
by the shift from the pastoral
agricultural structure of the coun-
try to an industrial age. and
from industrialism to superindus.
trialism and mechanization, Beck
saw a deeper cause for the
change.
"The everlasting difference, +" he
said, between the American peo.
pie when they framed the Con,
Stitution and the American peo.
pie today is this: Our forebears
thought in terms of abstract
political rights, but we today
think in terms of concrete eco.

Off Stage Noise

The off-stage noises have a
tremendous part to play in the
success of Journeys End" the
war play at Polls Theater, and
they have been most wonder
fully devised. The machine guns,
minniewerfers, grenades, and
shells are most realistic, and the
sounds Of the raid following the
exquisite pathos Of Osborne's and
Raleigh'S scenes are said to be
almost unbearable.
