THINGS doomed in the copper industry, and
many records were set. even breaking the
high marks Of the wartime production.
More than 1000 600 600 pounds OF new cop
per were produced from domestic sources. and
75O. 1000 pounds came from foreign sources.
In addition, 280O0O00 pounds Of refined copper
were imported.
This huge production, together with the
$4,000 900 pounds left over from the preceding
year. built up a stock Of S,OI4, O0O, 900 pounds.
There was a large foreign demand for refined
copper and 900,00O,aae pounds were exported.
Domestic users purchased 1,s4s 900 900 pounds
during the year, the largest withdrawal from
stocks IN the history Of the country.
The price. too, was good ranging up to 2S775

NEW YORK, April 1.-TWO
way" time-time which moves
backward or forward with equal
facility-exists in physics and
chemistry, according to revolu-
tionary theory proposed by DR..
Gilbert N. Lewis of the University
of California.
DR.. Lewis, who, with DR.. J. Nc
Keen Cattell, psychologist, Thurs
day night received the 1880 gold
medal of the Society Of Arts and
Sciences, advanced his theory in a
paper read to the society.
The new theory boldly banishes
the thought of time moving IN only
one direction.
Illustrative of lis new theory of
two way" time, it was suggested
that it was conceivable that events
of today are among the factors
which caused Caesar about 1000
years ago to cross the Rubicon.
Lewis offered no direct proof of
this thesis, but it was offered by way

no positive future or past, but that
one exerts a pull on the other.
Under his theory there would be
rejected the idea that yesterday pre-
coded today in any absolute sense.
THE concept of time moving in
one direction is forced upon us by
the phenomena Of our own con-
seriousness and memory the paper
said.
''Yet If we should construct a NOV
ing picture to represent the mo-
tons of the solar system it would be
just as satisfactory if it were run
backward. And the Newtonian laws
would be equally well obeyed.'
DR.. Lewis agreed with the recent
ly expressed theory Of Dr. Robert A.
Millikan of the California Institute
of Technology, that the world is en-
during, not undergoing a process of
gradual destruction

NEW YORK, AprE I've have
been dressing up" Paris has been
daring in changing the character Of
our fashions and We have been
liberal in our acceptance and
recognition of her direction up to
a certain point.
But there have been warning
notes which creators and mer-
chsndisers have accepted as danger
signals, resulting in a cautious pro-
cedure on the part of both in in

Many approached the spring idea
With some, If not much. trepidation,
dresding the possibility of frumpish
styles, furbelows in which no one
could look smart, feminine ex-
travagances which would result in

Salons Are Busy
Behold! the spring season opens,
groups Of imported costumes give
interest to speciality shops and
dressmaer salons are busy with
orders, as the entire world of fash
ionable women clamor for spring
clothes.
What a relief to discover that
discretion has won out, that style
Judgment still has its reserves and
that those who direct fashion des-
tinies have no intention of losing
their balance.
Novelty Moderated
II Is Just this sense of balance
which has been conserved and
which inspired the caption: Dress
ing Down the Dress Up Idea
For on the one hand, there still
are certain tendencies in favor Of
elaboration of elegance, of interpre

always seem dressed up, but on the
other. is the sane intention to mod
crate the fair for novelty to con-
sentative expression.
Extravaganza Subdued
Here fashion makes gesture of
extravaganza, but there she subdues

style paradox In the balance Of
abandon and restraint
