one Of the most. extraordi-
nary substances ever fabricated
IA the history Of chemistry, or
shall we say alchemy, was
ssphlogiston." It held its place
for two centuries: and was the
means of giving enormous stil1-
llIus to chemical research. AL
though the theory behind this
ss.fire principle" was not correct,
IL was an important generaliza-
tion which appealed to the sci
entific mind. "The sparkle Of
the gem was there, and men
followed it until it led them
into a clearer day"
The word "phlogiston" is de-
rived from q Greek word mean
Ing something inflammable." i"
This was defined as "the COM
buStible substance, principle
Of fire, but not fire itself"
s Every substance, according to
Becher's theory, was composed
0s q "calx" or ash, and q GER
tain amount of phlogiston. Be
cause from a metalli1 calx COX
tde) the metal could be re-
covered by burning with char
coal, the metal was held to
have absorbed the ''phlogiston"
In the process from the char
coal which. having mostly dis
appeared, was regarded as al
most pure phlogiston. Con
versely. when the metal was cal
cined Cor oxidized) by burning
without charcoal. 1t was held
to have lost its phlogiston.
This singular theory actually
accounted for the facts; and
was long accepted by the worlds
leading scientists.
The man who fathered this
strange and influential theory
was John Joachim Becher (1626-
1ee2).

Blames o. s. Clerks
For Unemployment

Editor, Times:
It seems that the unemploy-
ment situation is the chief talk
of today and my letter to you
is in regard to same.
It was the account in your
paper to the effect that the
President and his party were
going to Rapidan, va- for the
week end to study out ways
to relieve the unemployment
situation.
I wonder If the President
thinks that the u Employed
and working class Of people
are ignorant enough to think
that he Is going to think OF
them while he is away on his
weekend trips. Why don't he
go ahead and say he is going
up there to fish and be done
with it?
The Government or Civil
Service Commission, a part OF
the Government, could help
the situation here in Washing
ton If they would make a little
investigation and find how
many government employees are
working for the Government
eight hours and then going
out and working somewhere
else eight more hours.
My physical condition is just
about as good as the average
person, and I have. been work"
ing long enough to know that a
man cannot be efficient on two
jobs.
The Civil Service Commission
could find out who these peo-
pie are, and tell them to give
up one job or the other.

SECRETS OF

BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

AAe ASOAAS 80
We all think, to be sure, but
how many Of us really think
clearly and effectively?
Too often and too much are
we swayed in our judgments by
what we read and by what we
hear. Too seldom do we chew
and digest what goes into oj,r
minds, separating and labelling
the good from the bad.
Naturally, that is the ''line Of
least resistance" to accept TN.
critically without further fuss
and bother.
Is there any wonder, then,
that so many individuals are
really all mixed up?
Instead Of an orderly and
systematic mind, their mental
processes soon become cloudy
and often their ideas contra
dictory.
And even worse than that.
the failure to think clearly can
actually produce symptoms Of
nervous diSorderl
It is small wonder, when you
come to consider 1t, that only
a comparatively few men and
women do practically all the
thinking for the entire
world.
This is scarcely an exagger-
alton. We elect and delegate
others to do the big jobs, to
settle political matters, make
the laws, represent us at for
eign conference tables and what
not.
