He believes such wide inveStiga-
ton necessary in order to clean
up" the federal dry service and give
prohibition a fair chance, he said
today.
Before there is any more talk of
repeal of the eighteenth amendment,
or modification of the Volstead law,
prohibition should be given a fair
trial." he said.
President Hoover, he declared,
could remedy the situation By taking
enforcement out of politics.
Norris has stirred up heated and
bitter controversy which has split
his dry senate colleagues into two
camps, a few Of them supporting his
proposal, many of them against it
on the ground it plays into the
hands of the vets.
There still is hope that prohibi-
ton can be enforced. provided it is
taken out of politics" declared
Norris. "The President can take it
out in fifteen minutes If he issues
the right kind of order. If party
leader or senator objects to his ap-
pointments he should pay no atten-
ton to them.
THE President is directly re-
sponsible for enforcement. He can
issue orders to Secretary of Treasury

HIGH PURCHASES
BY CITY TO Get
CLOSE SCRUTINY
All More Than $1,000 Will
Be Put Before Council
for Consideration.

Close scrutiny Of all city pur-
chases of more than $4,000 will be
undertaken by city council.
Presentation of an ordinance ap-
proving an order of gauze costing
$4,000 resulted Monday night in a
lengthy discussion on buying
policies and the decision that here
after, all bids amounting 10 more
than $4,000 shall be submitted TO
city council for approval before the
contract is awarded.
The order for 100000 yards of
gauze was placed by Joel A. Baker,
former purchasing agent, whose OF
flee was investigated by the old city
council, and delivered Feb. ].
Purchase Approved
When Albert H. Losche. new pur-
chasing agent, learned the amount
was more than $4,000, ne requested
the measure be sent to city council
for approval in accordance with the
statute. Council approved the
purchase made by Baker.
Declaring the present council
will not be a rubber stamp" Coun-
ell President Ernest c. Ropkey an
nounced that all future ordinances
will contain the low bid which Is
recommended by the department
asking the purchase. with the other
bids on an attached letter to show
the council the reason for the
award.
Blanket Approval Issue
The issue in the investigation Of
the former purchasing agents
methods was whether council should
issue blanket approval for pur-
chases or grant authority TO buy
specific articles at fixed price.
Ropkey declared the change in
policy was in no way reflection on
the present administration.
The council first considered re-
uuiring all bids listed in the ordi-
nance, but Smiley N. Chambers, as
sistant city attorney, advised that
the mass Of bids would be difficult
TO study and the procedure will
boost the cost of printing council
proceedings.

Horton is supposed to have gone

Horton is probably one Of the
leaders on the talking screen in
putting over farce. Farce is diff
/ ferent from comedy. Sometimes it
seems to me that 1t takes more
artistry in putting over farce than
comedy. The actor must know just
how far to go in projecting farce or
it becomes burlesque or hopeless
hokum.
One has to give farce that at
tribute of suggested realism so as
not to be too silly. And Horton
does splendidly in projecting farce
in THE Aviator"
"The Aviator" is a picture that
gets audience results, laughing re-
suits. And that is the only way
that I know how TO Judge farce.
The vaudeville part of the show
at the Lyric this week Is far from
being e strong bill. About the main
thing to the bill is the acrobatic
dancing of Irene Vermillion in the
last act. If this woman would
study those she had around her in
a musical way, she would have a
much better act The fact that she
keeps her musicians on the stage
/ standing all the time prevents the
act from receiving a variety punch.
Her dancing is too good to damage
by a bad arrangement of musical
numbers.

Alexander Goetz. 32-year-old Ger
man physicist. in the laboratories
OF the California Institute Of
Technology, comes as near per-
forming q miracle as any scien-
tist.
He takes a bar Of bismuth metal,
and sometimes other metals, and
re-arranges the atoms in regular
form. His process really ~re-creates
metal and displaceS the countless
crystals IN the metal as nature
arranged 1t with a long single cryS-
tai. On one occasion he created a
single crystal 500, feet long and five
ten thousand, of an inch in
diameter.
Goes Nature One Better
There is nothing mysterious about
his method. He simply retraces ma
lures steps, but goes nature one
better. When ready to rearrange
the atoms and form 2 single crys-
tai or some metal, DR.. Goetz places
the metal. as provided by nature,
In a graphite trough, then moves
II through a very hot oven at a
speed OF one-third inch a minute.
As the metal melts, the atoms
swarm abou. each other in con-
fusion, but as It begins to cool
slowly they fall into ranks like
soldiers. and because the cooling
IS so controlled. a single crystal,
instead OF countless crystals, re-
suits.
