VAGRANCE LAW
NEED TOLD

Washington is becoming a re-
sort for vagrants because police
are unable to arrest such per-
sons, Commissioner Herbert b.
Crosby told the public order COM
mittee OF the Board OF Trade last
night at the Raleigh Hotel.
Crosby's was one, of a series OF
talks urging the passage Of the
bill providing for increase in pay
for firemen and policemen, the
enactment of a weapons law. a
vagrancy law and a narcotic law
for the District.
The commissioner laid strong
emphasis on the need Of a weapon
and narcotic law.
Odell s. Smith presided and
opened the meeting by calling a
toast to Acting Deputy Chief
Fireman Peter r. Davis, who lost
his life in the Rudolph and West
fire last Friday and to Capt. Mar
tin Reilly of the Sixth Precinct,
who died last week.
The committee praised the
manner in which firemen foughS
the fire and offered that as an
other reason why firemen should
receive the 1ong-sought increase
In salary.
George Pitt. president of the
board. called attention to the
fact that the Senate had con-
tributed q great deal to the Dis
trict, but added that he believed
the Federal Government should
share equally with the District in
the future development Of the
National Capital.

hdnhyS Three Shangea and Lightea Metals.

A MoNG the curiosities OF the mineral world
are three metals which are so soft that they
can be cut with knife. and which decompose
water at ordinary room temperatures, yet they
are taking prominent place in the industrial
and home life of the Nation.
The three caesium, rubidium and lthium,
usually occur together in nature, although the
last mentioned is sometimes found alone. The
others ignite spontaneously in the presence Of
dry oxygen and, therefore, are usually kept in
vacuum. The chemical and even the physical,
properties of these three elements can best be
considered in conjunction with the more famil-
lar members of the alkali group, sodium and
potassium. All five elements are silvery white
and tarnish rapidly in air. All excep-
tionally light lithium being only little more
than half as heavy as water and being the
Iightest element solid at ordinary temperatures.
Had it not been for the spectroscope, the dis
coyery of the elements caesium and rubidium
would doubtless have been long postponed. In
1896 c. r. Plattner analysed the mineral
pollucite from the Island of Elba and was
mystified by the fact that the constituents APP
parently totaled only 9275 per cent Careful
search failed to reveal any error in analysis or
any constituents that had been overlooked and
the problem remained unsolved until 1860,
when caesium was discovered.
In 1864, four years after the discovery Of
caesium, Pisani repeated the analysis of pollu-
cite and found that the alkaI metal Plattner
had called potassium was in reality caesium
When corrections were made for the differences
in atomic weights of caesium and potassium,
Piattner's results were found to be quite &C
curate.
In 1860 Bunsen used the newly devised spec
troscope to examine the mineral constituents of
the spring water at Durkheim, and discovered
two blue lines of unknown origin. He became
convinced that they characteristic of a
new alkali metal and proposed the name
caesium from the Greek for "sky blue" Forty
tons of water we're evaporated in order to get
enough caesium salts for experiments
Caesium the first element discovered by
the use of the spectroscope, and year lated lin
1851 rubdum discovered by the same
means.
Lithium had been isolated some years before
caesium and rubdium were found and was dis
covered by Aug. Arfvedson. While working in
Berzelius laboratory in 1917, he found a new
element and named it lithium, meaning stony"
in contrast to sodium and potassium, which are
widely distributed in plants and an mails.
Although the minerals from which caesium,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-28

rubldlum, and lithium may be extracted are
distributed rather widely in nature the known
minerals and deposits rich enough to furnish
large supplies are few. Most of the minerals
contain at least trace of all three elements
Several minerals comparatively rich in lithium
are known, but only one (pollucite) is high in
caesium and No definite rubidium minerals are
known.
Lepidolit, the best known of the nthium
minerals, in number of localities carries from
a trace to more than 3 per cent of rubidium
oxide, and small fraction of a per cent of
caesium oxide. Lepidolite, in fact, carries more
rubidium than any other known mineral al
though very incomplete data a tiny speci-
men of a rubidium mineral rhodozite, from the
Urals, has been described. The principal lith-
ium minerals are lepidolite, amblygonite and
spodumene.
There has been little demand for caesium
The principal use at present is in the manu-
facture of radio tubes The caesum is intro
duced into the tubes in the form of chloride,
mixed with magnesium or calcium and is COM
pressed into small tablets or pills; at one
stage in The manufacture of the tube the pill
is flashed, eliminating the last trace of air and
thus securing the desired vacuum. The, caeSium
chloride supplies positive ions at the surface of
the hlament
Both caesium and rubidium are employed to
limited extent In the manufacture of photo
electric cells. Rubidium however appears to
be more suitable for this than caeSium because
an extremely thin layer can be applied on the
inner side of the glass. In the manufacture of
these cells the metal, either caesium or ru-
bidim is introduced in excess, but later is re-
moved entirely except for the molecular layer
that has formed on the silver or other base
metal electrode, The photo-emission of the
molecular layer of metal is greater than that of
the massive metal.
Rubidium compounds are employed in larger
amounts than the metal because they have
proved their Importance reagents in micro
chemistry; their ability to form crystalline COM
pounds readily makes them of great value in
this important and rapidly developing field
Unlike caesium and rubidium, lithium min
erals are used both as they occur in nature and
as sources of lithium salts and compounds
One of the earliest uses for lithium salts was in
the manufacture of lithia water and other
medicinal preparations, but the use of lithia
water has declined rapidly in recent years The
carbonate, phosphate, nitrate and organic COM
pounds are used for medicinal purposes
AT present the largest use for lepidolite is
IN the manufacture of opal glass 1t is ground
and added, either fused or INFUSED to the
glass batch. Lepidoite to be used in glass
making must be free from tourmaline and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-28

other possible coloring materials Patents
cover the use of the mineral for this purpose
In pyrotechnicS, lithum chloride is used to
mpart a crimson color to fireworks and signal
lights. Fairly large quantities of several of the
compounds of lithium are used in other ways.
For example, lthium hydroxide is used in ak
aline electrolyte storage batteries, lithium bro
mide and iodide are employed in photography
and lithium carbide is used in Roentgen-ray ex-
periments.
Lithium metal, as such, has no known use
owing to its softness and rapid deterioration by
water but in recent years considerable re-
search has been made to determine the posi-
bilities of alloying lithium with other light
metals such as beryllium and aluminium
The beryllum protects the lithium from
oxidation by moisture or heating and from
further action, if oxidation has begun by pro-
ducing upon the surface of the alloy closely
adherent, finely textured insoluble oxide that
prevents further oxidation The lithium con-
tent may be as high as IS per cent. This alloy
apparently does not corrode faster than iron
and its specific gravity is only about is. Bv
increasing the proportion of lithium to about 65
per cent, an alloy as light as water can be
produced, and although such an ALLOW corrodea
fairly rapidly in the presence of water. # ca
be protected sufficiently for many purposes bW
plating or covering. If the percentage of lithiunf
is increased slightly above 65 per cent. small
quantities OF aluminium or zinc may be added tn
increase the hardness and strength but the
alloy VIII retain specific gravity little or no
greater than that of water.
Aluminium to which very small percentage
OF hthium has been added has been used to a
limited extent in Germany for trucks and bed
frames OF street and railway cars. This alloy
Is exceptionally strong
Inc minerals from which caesium, rubidium
and lithium may be extracted occur in onIv a
few regions in the United States, principally in
California, South Dakota New Mexico and
Maine.
The market for caeSium, rubidium and lith
ium Is extremely limited, and for lithium ONLY
Is there any demand at present.

DEBTS CLEW TO
MISSING BANKER
Lake County Man Believed
Dodging Creditors.

BIZ United Press
EAST CHICAGO, IND, Sept. 90
Disappearance of Hazel K. Groves,
Lake county treasurer and banker,
who has been missing four days,
was believed by police today to have
resulted from his inability to repay
creditors.
Groves, a northern Indiana Re-
publican leader, ran heavily into
debt playing the stock market and
it is possible he disappeared to avoid
meeting creditors" the police said.
Although an investigation of the
American State bank Of East Chi
cago, of which Groves was preSi-
dent, has not been completed, au-
thorities said they believed the in
stitution is sound. Except for an
overdraft of Sis in Groves per-
sonal account, there were no irregu-
larities Immediately found, it was
said.
Affairs of the county treasurer's
office were found in regular order,
police said.
It was intimated by investigators
that they believed other banks in
Lake county may hold personal
notes of Groves which he drew to
meet the stock market speculations.
