CHANGING STOCK
 FUR ASSESSMENT
 GETS INTO COURT

The attorney for L. E. Whicher, of New York, in his suit against the Delaware Mines Corporation, it's officers and directors, and the Associated Mines Corporation, its officers and directors, has perfect ed appeal to the State supreme court from the decision of Judge Featherstone, of the district court, reports the Denver Mining Record
 In bringing this a ct ion, MT. Whicher, who is a large stockhold- CT in the Delaware corporation, contended that the reorganization of the Delaware under the name of Associated Mines Corporation and the transfer of all property of the Delaware to the new company was illegal, and especially he con- tended that the directors of the Delaware company had no legal authority to change the non-as- sessable stock in the new organiza- tion.
 Judge Featherstone held that the action of the directors and officers was valid. The attorney for plain tiff at once gave notice of appeal to the supreme court, which he has now perfected He said that he hoped to have complete copies of
 the record of the case in time to
 prepare his brief and have the case heard by the supreme court during
 the November term.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

WulGeI IS dpplUdC1IAAiS oAio VAiC children's school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag' plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "zigzag'' income. There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the sav- ings bank drawing 3 per cent in terest. While it is true that money was put there for a rainy day" it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $2O or $40 or even $1OO of that wouldn't go very far on a rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer jean. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is seme speculation with every in- vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being true American ana realizing that nothing risked, nothing gained" he likes to take chance. Bill is a cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but he doesn't want to lose his money.
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the mails and seeks out chance to specu- late with the safety of flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the well he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new we'll comes in big, Bill should make a profit of 10 times his investment. If he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, over a period of years, twenty times larger than the savings bank interest. And he has the speculative chance of making 8 real fortune if the new we'll comes in good. He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly wha. he does when he accepts our Spe
 eial Pool offer, and shares in on, gusher while we drill for another.
 Write us for full information, but better still-mail us $20, $100, or even $200, and share in our next dividend. If you are like Bill Jones, we might help you.

Finland Completes
Parliament Building

HELSINGFORS.--A a cost of slight
ly over 100000, Finland has just
completed the erection of a huge new
Parliament building, monument to the
country's regained liberty and a mani
festation of Finnish craftsmanship at
It's best.
The building. which was designed by
one OF the country's most promising
young architects, Mr.. Siren, may best
be described as something between a
Greek temple and packing case of
gigantic proportions. The outside con-
sists entirely Of Finnish granite. Inside
the walls arc clad with the costliest Of
wood panelings and the floors are of
Italian marble. Every piece Of furni-
ture and every door Is the work of an
artist.
The building contains 300 rooms
cafe, restaurant, press rooms, smok-
ing rooms for men and women
and 10 bath rooms. The meeting hall
Of the Riksdag is a circular dome
shaped room with balconies in two
storieS--a masterpiece Of architecture
with walls and ceilings insulated to pre-
vent echo. The walls are colored in
quiet grayish tone, and the paneling
is a rich red. A thick carpet covers
the whole floor and deadens the sound
OF footsteps.
The most imposing room however, is
the so-called Rikssal which Is show
piece pure and simple and is to be used
for no practical purposes at all, but
already has gained a reputation of be-
ing one OF the most beautiful rooms in
Scandinavia. The floor here is of pale
green Italian marble and the ceiling is
painted in ocean green colors. The
cafe and restaurant are fitted with steel
furniture throughout
The building was inaugurated in the
presence Of guests from the Parliaments
OF Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Estonia
and Latvia.

Ancient Rites Revived
To Court Fiery Goddess

HONOLULU. - Ancient rites with
which the primitive Hawaiians propi-
tiated the fiery goddess of volcanic
action, the much-feared Pele. are being
revived in a modern setting on the
brink of the crater of Kilauea. The
lava fires in this mighty crater on the
Island of Hawaii have sunk low in the
mammoth fire pit and Hawaiians talk
among themselves of the anger and
pending departure of Pele. Recently
officials of the National Park Service,
stationed in the park reservation which
surrounds the crater, were aStonished
to see an aged Hawaiian woman build
ing at the very brink OF the crater an
altar of stones. On inquiry they found
that she Is Mrs. Koiliokalani Maluna,
100 years old, who had travelled from
Honolulu to lay gifts at the unseen feet
of the fire goddess. On the altar of
lava stones she placed cloth Of pure
white and over 1t cloth Of scarlet, and
then presented her gifts of leaves, stems
and roots of the ava plant, Hawaiian
tobacco, and (n1odern touch) bottles Of
soda water and jelly rolls. Here, sur
rounded by children and grandchildren
and even great-grandchildre the aged
matron has for several days been sing
ing chants to the fire goddess and be-
seeching her to return to her abode in
Hawaii.

centrate any great amount Of the suns
energy.
Another possibility is to change the
energy Of sunlight directly into mechan-
ical energy by means OF a radiometcr.
This instrument consists of veins, black
ened on one side and polished on the
other, which are mounted on an axis
and placed in a partial vacuum. When
exposed to sunlight the blackened sides
become heated and molecules of air
striking them rebound with an added
energy which causes the veins to turn.
This has been given no serious consid-
Grafton as it is obviously impossible to
obtain any great amount of energy in
this way. The physical limitations are
enormous.
The method Of obtaining energy di-
rect from sunlight that has just been
announced neither converts the suns
energy directly nor indirectly, through
the medium of steam, from heat to
mechanical energy. 1t converts the
sunlight directly to electrical energy In
this respect the method differs but lit
tie of the photo electric cell which is
now SO commonly used in the talking
moving pictures, in televiSion and in
many other places where it is desired
to convert light to electrical energy.
Light Affects Cell.
The photo-electric cell is an out
growth of what is known to scientists
as the Hallwachs effect. which was
originally discovered by Hertz as early
as 1887. In its initial form it was
merely known that certain metals be-
came charged electrically when illu-
minated. 1t has since been found that
this means that electrons are given off
from the metals. More recently this
has given US the foundation for the
photo-electric CELL
This cell provides a method of utiliz-
Ing the electron discharge by inclcSi2g
the most suitable metals for this pur-
pose, either in vacuum, or in a gas
which will not affect the metal surface.
An electrode opposing the metal is ar
ranged In such way that the tube
can be used to produce a decreased
resistance in an electrical circuit when
Light falls upon the metal.
An effect more nearly like that uti-
lied by DR.. LANCE was discovered in
1885 by Werner Siemens, one Of the
founders of Siemens & Halske. He
found that selenium had its resistance
decreased when illuminated. This
led to the development of the selenium
cell, which at one time gave much
promise. Due to the fact that selen-
ium did not respond quickly but only
after appreciable time lag, and also be-
cause 1t fatigued or lost tie sensitivity
rapidly, it failed to materialize as at
first expected. 1t is still useful in
many ways, but its expectations have
never been realized In practice.
Energy From Light.
It will be noted that these various de-
vices do not produce energy directly
from the sun, but merely appear to do
so because Of the decrease of resist

scientist, DR.. Bruno Lange, now
Il brings us within striking dis
lance of that long -dreamed-of
goal-dtrect energy from sunlight. DR..
Lange tells us that 1t is, now possible
to obtain such sun energy at a cost
within close range Of that of hydro
electric plant. The cost of installation
OF q hydroelectric plant is from 500
to $500 kiloWatt. The cost of steam
plant is in the neighborhood of $50 a
kilcwatt. The direct sunlight plant,
however, would be less costly in main
tenance and labor than would the
usual steam plant Another jump such
as it is claimed DR.. LANCE has made
and the ultimate goal will have been
reached. DR.. LANCE is backed by the
very we'll known and respected firm of
SiemenS & Halske.
That man will ultimately use direct
sunlight to supply his power needs is
a belief by all scientists. Speaking in
New York year ago. DR.. r. A. Mill
ken said, Fer the last century men
have been using the sunshine bottled

this reserve will do us and our children,

and 1t is not hopeless one. 1t Is this
there is enough energy sent to us each
day by the sun for all our needs, those
present now and those reasonably in
prospect, and without calling upon
stored-up supplies of any kind. Two
modern counties in our latitude receive
from the sun in day as much heat
as is produced by all the coal burned
In "a hours throughout the world.
Granted then that the direct applica-
ton of sunlight to produce power is
not only possibility but a probability,
let us examine the contribution just
announced to determine what advance
has been made.
May Use Suns Power.
There are several ways in which we
might hope to harness sunlight. One
of the most obvious of these is to uti-
lie its heating effect to generate steam
for focusing as much sun as possible
onto a boiler by means OF large mirrors
or lenses, Man has been trying this
at intervals, for many years. But it
has been repeatedly found that the
method is impractical because OF the
great size Of the mirrors needed to con-
