D. C.. Scientist Discovers
Rare Ne1U Element

One of the most fascinating sci
entific works in progress in any
branch of the Government is the
microscopic research into the
structure of the atom by DR.. w. F.
Meggers, of the Bureau of Stand
ards, who has just succeeded in
photographing and analyzlng the
Spectra of a new chemical ele-
ment, "Rhenium 75."
Is Very Rare
This element, metal. is a
thousand times more rare than
gold, and constitutes about one
part in a million million of the
earth's crust, DR.. MeggerS eX-
planned today. Like all rare ele-
mentS it contains an odd number
of electronS-75
The first proof of the isolation
of the new element was evidence
of three or four new lines in the
X-ray spectra, but the intoTpreta-
ton of this evidence was queS-
toned by critics, it having been
left to the long and difficult OBJ
servationS of DR.. Meggers and his
mathematical calculations tc dis
cover the 1000 lines of its optical
spectra.
Indicating the intricate nature
of observations and photography
of atomic radiation it was eX-
planned that in some cases the
lines of the spectra are divided
by a space of one-one- hundred
millionth of an inch.

Ambassador TeIIaz

Peace between the United States and Mexico is
due to Ambassador Teller more than to any other
one man. Dwight Morrow, as our envoy in Mexico
City, did splendid work. But several years earlier
Telez representing Mexico had begun his service in
Washington. But for him. diplomatic relations prob
ably would have been broken and there would have
been no chance for Morrow.
Now, Teller is being recalled. We do not know
the reason. Perhaps. reported it is politics at
home. Certainly it is not the fault OF Washington
In Washington he has the respect and the
admiration which long years of patient courageous
honest and fair play diplomacy won for him. And
he is as popular with the foreign diplomatic corps
of which he is dean, with the state department.
Because of his brilliant service in the cause of
American-Mexican friendship, first a young peace
agent in the days of non-recognition and later
through the years of his ambassadorship sin
regret is occasoned by his departure from the
United States.
1t may be, however. if the now reviving disputes
between two countries should reach the danger
point again. that Teller will be dispatched here to
preserve the peace as he so often has done before

Defation can be overdone as well as imitation. In

There is tendency toward rising prices 1t is eco

the hundred millions, has been at least temporar-
lily increased by over 10 per cent That represents
for the time being. form of imitation. If continued
too far, it would spell danger. If controlled held
in check, the effect might be benign
The people of the United States in recent months
have been suffering from fear. There has been much
talk about the psychological phase of our predica-
ment phase which no one has been able to define
accurately But certain it is that people naturally
more cautious about buying on falling market
than a rising market. Buying becomes more
active when prices start up.

Whether it will continue, one knows. But Eng
lands action, the technical features of which few
understand and the far-flung results of which no
one can prophesy to have been the thing that

Should the parade continue, it might soon lead to
too much imitation. If halted at the right time, it
might be the thing that would break the jinx
