Use Is Vast

DUT while gold is the oldest and
ID most romantic of metals and
still plays a mighty role in the
affairs of the world, it is not an i'm
portant metal from the standpoint
of the metallurgiSt.
Gold plays only minor part in
the vast utilization Of metals in our
modern mechanical and electrical
age, says Dr. Jeffries.
DR.. Jeffries points out how much
modern civilization is based upon
the use of metals.
1--WE could not have radio without
metals" he says. "You perhaps have
several metallic articles on your per-
son-for example, a knife, watch,
jewelry, coins and the like.
"You are probably comfortably
warm because of a heating system
made largely of metal.
IF you have electric lights, your
room is connected with a powerful
station by means of copper wires,
and many metals, including the
tungsten of the filament, are used
IN the construction OF the electric
lamp.
IF you have a telephone, the in
strument itself not only contains
many metal parts, but it is con-
nected with millions of phones all
over the United States and adjoin-
ing countries by a nervous system
of metal wires.
cor consider railway tracks which
band the various communities Of the
United States together and form a
peaceful tie with our neighbors as
well.
"Your automobile represents ton
or more Of portable metal. Water
and gas are carried into our homes
and workshops in metal pipes. In
short, we can not escape metal
without escaping civilization"

A Progressive Governor

You can't patch up damaged engine with Irvine
and glue and expect it to run again. but most of our
government and business executives apparently
don't know this.
Governor Philip F. La Toilette of Wisconsin is an
exception Calling his legislature into special SEES

ognze what has happened to the economic machinery
and then supply it with some new parts designed,
if possible, to prevent another wreck
Men living in modern society must procure goods
from other men to live. They can not exchange po-
tatoes direct for shoes, or for pillow, so they
use money to accomplish the trade. But if few
men own most Of the money in the country how are
the others going to get what they need?
1.-THE monopoly system always has acquired owner
ship of much of our wealth and thereby receives
such tremendous portion of the medium of exchange
that the rest of us can not do business with each
other says La Toilette.
"Our problem is the redistribution of purchasing
to enable population to receive enough of
The medium of exchange, money, to do business
So La Toilette proposes to lower taxes on general
property, which collected from the man of small
means, and increase income taxes which are COL
ected from prosperous citizens This will leave the
man with little money more to spend for the prod
ucts of business
"But those In actual want can not wait while we
reate some ideal system of distribution of either in
come or the necessities Of fe says La Follettee So
ne proposes that sufficient part of the wealth COL
ected from income tax payers we spent for public
works or distributed where necessary for quick relief
He earnestly points out that wage CUTS by reducing
till more the money available for trading, will ag-
Tavate the very trouble which must be cured.
Wisconsin is feeling the depression less today than
any other state in the union La Toilette says this is
because Wisconsin for many years has been attempt
ing to redistribute its income and its tax burden.
wisconsin formerly raised 80 per cent of her taxes
from property Now she raises only Sc per cent this
way. The things La Toilette proposes now are not
untred theory. They have proved their worth

1.-The Romance of Metals and Al
Toys" at a conference of leading au-
thorities upon alloys held at Case
School of Applied Science.
Although we have no way of de-
termining the early use of metals
by mankind" he said, 1T seems
probable that gold was the first
metallic substance known to many
of the prehistoric peoples, and that
a natural alloy of iron and nickel
in the form of meteorites was the
first known to other peoples.
1.-THE use of gold as an industrial
metal is today and always has been
limited.
Its principal use in early times
was for ornamental purposes, and
it gradually developed prestige in
exchange until it has become the
standard of the world for credit
purposes.
"On the other hand, the natural
meteorites early were used for
weapons, and the posseSsor of such
weapon had great advantage
ever his opponents.
When iron first was produced
artificially is unknown, but it is
probable in some places, at any rate,
that its artificial production was
prehistoric. AT any rate, in very
early historic times iron was pro-
duced for industrial and military
purposes"

Copper Before Iron2

"COPPER", in the opinion Of DR..
~ Jeffries, was the next metal to
occupy the attention of mankind.
The processes developed for pro-
ducing iron artihcially proved also
to be OF value in the production of
copper and copper alloys" he says.
In TACT, in some localities where
copper may have existed in the
metallic state and ores of easily re-
duceable copper were available, the
copper age may have preceded the
iron age.
Mankind struggled along century
after century, seemingly contented
with the production of metals for
ornamental and simple military and
civil uses. From the available rec
ordS it is clear that military activi-
ties were of chief Importance in
the early development of the metal
industries.
Not only were many weapons
made from metals, but eventually
shields and coats of armor, both for
men and horses, were the chief
uses of metals.
Gradually through the ages the
civil uses of metals have gained mo-
mentum until at the present time
the military uses are greatly subor-
dinated to civil uses"
DR.. Jeffries says that gold is the
most romantic of the metals.
Our ancestors for centuries have
sought and fought for gold," he
says. cts existence, not only in the
earth, but also that mined by the
natives, was a major factor in the

In case of bellyache don't hop right
out and blame the grocer or the cook.
The chances are hundred to one that
the trouble is with you, not your food.
1t may, as the old story goes, have
been something you et," but probably
that's not the answer at all.
This Is the advice of the Educational
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association, contained in a
bulletin issued today.
These experts, reporting the modern
medical opinion, greatly discount the
old poison food" DOGGY.
Certain people, they warn, exhibit
idiosyncrasies to certain foods. The
particular food will be a perfectly good
food for ninety-nine persons and for
the hundreth it will act as a poison or
cause a pain in the stomach. That is
because of the peculiarly of the in
dividuals physical make up. Some
persons do not tolerate pork, veal,
lamb, salmon, shad, mackerel, lobster,
or oyster. In some cows milk will pro-
duce the same reaction. What goes by
the common name of acute indigestion,
the doctors point out, is many times
just this individuals reaction to par
ticular food.
Doctors admit there is such thing
as food poisoning. They wish to point
out that it is much rarer than it was
once thought to be. Improper canning
is sometimes a source of bacterial
growth Within the BODY after the food
has been eaten. Such articles as
chowders. stews, cream filling for pies
and cakes, potato salad or other cooked
vegetables which have kept too long
are the most common causes of the
few actual cases of food poisoning OBJ
served.
1.-The person made sick by food"
says the Medical Association spokes-
man, usually has very definite idea
of the article responsible but this
identification is almost invariably
wrong. There is tendency to ascribe
the trouble to something eaten shortly
before the onset of symptoms whereas
the real cause is much more likely
some forgotten article which formed
part of a meal six, twelve or twenty
four hours before"
Most stomach aches, it was pointed
out, are clearly traceable to too much
good food rather than a little bad
food. One mustn't ask the stomach to
do more work than it is built for.
