New Metal Developed
To Go Into Radio Tubes

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Engineers
&of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company have de-
veloped, after many years Of re-
search, a new metal which is said
to be harder to forge than steel
and to be exceedingly tough at
very high temperatures.
The new metal is called konel.
It can be used extensively in the
moving parts Of internal combus-
ton engines and other extremely
hot places, according to WeSting-
house engineers.
20, Extensive tests have revealed
that although most metals grow
softer and lose tensile strength as
they undergo high heat, konel
heated to as high as 1,1OO degrees
Fahrenheit will withstand a pres
sure Of 10000 pounds to the square
inch.

incognito, and received royal well

but this is a special political kind
of "incognito."
The whole wide world knows
Walker went to Bermuda, nobody
believes he is sick, and the question
is only, how much of a quarrel is
there inside Tammany?
On the sixth, Whalen gets a din
ner, from some of the anti Walker
faction as we'll as some Of Walkers
bosses. Dreadfully embarrassing
thing for Walker, who doesn't want
the open scandal of refusing to go
to the Whalen dinner, and certainly
doesn't want it ever thrown up to
him that he was there.
But if the honorable mayor Of
New York were i'll, politically or
otherwise, and "incognito" in Ber-
muda at the same time, well, that
ought to be an excuse for not eat
ing a Whalen dinner.
Walker starts back from Bermuda
Wednesday, day after the dinner.

WALL ST.WANTS MORROW
IN MEXICO FOR PRESENT

WASHINGTON, May dwight
w. Morrow, leading member of the
firm of Morgan & Co., Wall Street,
lately returned from the London
-for-arms conference, declared
yesterday that he would decline the
job of U. S. Senator from New Jer-
sey. He will return to Mexico as
U. S. ambassador to give direct in
structions to the Rubio fascist die
tatorship.
Morrow's real reason for declin-
ing the job and entering the cleo
tons as candidate for the senator
ship were not stated in his letter
to Governor Larson. Stark defeat
faced him in the coming elections
and with it defeat of all the Hoover
policies. Morrow and his Morgan
associates in the government did not
want to take the risk at this time.
Hence he will carry out Wall Street $
policies in other government posts.

Apron Strings Has Freudlan
Idea as the Principal Theme

Forrest C. Harding is presenting
a new play, "Apron Strings"
comedy by Dorrance Dais, at the
48th st. Theatre. apron Strings"
is not exactly what the title implies,
for the name conjures up another
version of the theme beloved by
Frank Craven and another current
comedy, "Brokens Dishes," with
Donald Meek. However, in this
case the apro:. strings are not tied
to long suffering husband to be
broken at last with comedy compli-
cations, but to the fiance of a pros
porous mid-western family.
Returning to the bosom of her
family from a summer hotel, where
she has met the aforesaid lad, the
first act shows the introduction of
the youth into the girls household,
and it is learned, that the youth is
suffering from a mother complex.
His parent, now dead, left behind
her a trunk full of letters contain
ing instructions to her boy, covering
practically any situation in which he
may find himself in later life.
Dominated by his mother while she
was alive, the boy continues to seek
her support in the letters. Rather
a novel idea but unfortunately not
worked out as well as it might be
and everplayed by every member of
the cast but Roger Pryor and JEFF
ferson de Angels.
Withal, it provides an interesting
evening in the theatre. With
tuning down here and there and a
speeding up in other places, "Apron
Strings" might go farther than it
does in its present shape.
Frank Monroe gives a good por-
trayal of the matter of fact father
of the girl. Audray Dale, as the
daughter of the house, is satisfac-
tory, but, as previously stated,
Roger Pryor, as the inhibited fiance,
and Jefferson de Angels, as his old
family lawyer, carry away the act
ing honors.
