Atoms Take Journeys

Atoms, even the heavy atoms of
lead, are wanderers. Prof. J. G.. Won
Hevesy of the University of Frei-
burg in Breisgau, Germany, has been
investigating their properties. Lead
atoms are constantly in motion, even
In solid metal, he believes. In au
alloy of lead and gold, at a tempera-
ture half again as high as that of
boiling water, the atoms wander
through a space Of hundredth of Il
cubic inch in a day. When there is
nothing but lead in the lump, how
ever, moving about is not nearly so
easy; in pure lead an atom can mi

The wrath of the righteous, if
wrathful, is wrong;
The kind are the noble, the quiet

All things must be tempered-the

USES OF CRANBERRIES

THE cranberry keeps better than

is preservative-Salicylic acid. AS
this acid acts upon metals care

never in tin.

which was his way of saying Catch
me if you cant"
"Of course I'll catch your! rOared
Bowser. He didn't really believe he
would, for he had chased Peter oft
en- enough to know that Peter was
full of smart tricks, but he wanted
TO scare Peter. and then perhaps he
liked TO boast a little, too. Pretty
soon he began TO think that he real
lv might catch Peter this time. You
see usually Peter kept so far ahead
of him that he only got glimpse
of him now and then and followed
him by keeping this wonderful nose
in Peters tracks. but this time Peter
kept only little way ahead and i'm
plain sight all the time, so that
Bowser could follow him without de-
pending on his nose at all. Some
times Pete would let him get so close
that it seemed as if he would surely
catch him IN the next jump, but
somehow he never did.
Bowser was puzzled There was
no doubt about that. Peter wasn't
doing any of the things he usually
did. He didn't run in single circle.
He didn't take a single long side
jump to break his trail and make
Bowser waste time in hunting for
it. In fact he didn't play the game
at all the way he usually did You
see BOwser had become SO used TO
hunting Peter and never catching
him that he had come TO look at
ii as a game. and he knew that
Peter looked at it the same way.
Right down in his heart BOwser
didn't want to catch Peter so much
as he tried to make himself think
he did. You see if he should catch
Peter why that WOULD put an end
to these games.

New York, Oct 17.-Hopefnl
 prospects growing out of President Hoover's plan for financial rehabili- tatiori have tended strongly to re- store confidence in the home situa- ton. There are so many things to be taken into consideration how ever, especially in connection With
 political and financial affairs abroad, it is only natural that the
 market should continue to back and fill, marking time until the skies become clearer. Better bank
 ing conditions have made their ap-
 pearance, and there is tone of
 optimism in many directions that he's been in contrast to the discour-
 agement that prevailed during the
 latter part of September. Reduc-
 tion of the tendency to withdraw
 money from banks, and gradual
 shading off in the disposition
 abroad to export gold from the United States have also been noted. Business continues to hold it's own, and while the failure to go ahead with vigorous autumn revival has been unsatisfactory, there have been hopeful symptoms of recov- cry in the early future though ]! is plain that activity during the re- mainder of this year may be slower than had been excepted.
 There has been further indica- ton during the past week. that ln- vestors were coming back into the
 market. appreciating the opportun- ities that present low prices for standard issues really afford. To be sure this move is largely in the shape of Todd lot" buying, as re- ported by dealers in that line,
 nevertheless 1t Is a good sign. indt-
 eating that the panic feeling. which
 has been prevalent for such a long
 period, is gradually passing away. All that is needed is a little more confidence on the part of the buy Ing public to make the demand ex- ceed floating supplies, which really have been reduced to very small proportions. This is shown in the shrinkage of brokers loans of S5 %
 from the high figures of two years ago: and this also is apropos of the enormous decline in the value of
 securities. That part of the presi- dents plan providing for the pur- chase of the assets of failed banks.

Import Hops From D. s

surrey, sussex, Hereford and Wor- cester counties.
 Import Hops From D. S. | Last year the crop. was 253,000 hundfedweight. Great Britain &C., counts for more than one-fourth of the world consumption of hops. Of her own homegrown crop she used inbrewing all but 22,302 hundred weight. On the other hand, she inn ported 44,409 hundredweight.
 Oddly enough. more than 28,- 900 hundredweight came from the dry United States. American hops came mainly from California be- cause British brewers have found that the prolonged sunshine gives the hops higher content of peces- sary vegetable chemicals than is possessed by hops grown In rain fer countries.
 Another branch of agricultural industry which is largely depend- ent upon the drink trade is the barley crop. A million acres are given over to barley growing in Britain. A part of this is. of course used for food and for medical malt ed products and matted foods, but the greater part is used by distil- lers in making whiskey and the brewers in the form of barley malt. The brewers used about 10,000,000 hundredweight last year.
 Of the 617,000 people that the brewers claim are employed as a resultt of the dring trade, 350,- 900 are workers in retail pubs. Also included in these figures are 112,000 naployed in brewing, distilling, mating and bottling; 5000 in while sale dealing; 35,0000 in raising and gathering barley, and 14,000 in gathering and picking hops for the same trade.

|BRUENINC GOVT IN GERMANY IS
 SUCCESSFUL
Comes Through With Fly- ing Colors With Secure Vote of Confidence

Berlin, Oct 17-(UP)-Chan- cellor Heinrich Bruening's position at the head of the German govern ment appeared secure for the win- ter to-day. The national opposition threat failed and the cabinet re- ceived a vote of confidence by a margin of 25 votes and the Reich stag had adjourned until Febru- ary 23.
 Adolph Hitler's fascist ist opposition, which had revoked its policy of abstention from the Reichstag in the hope of defeating Bruening, again admitted defeat and marched stormily out of the chamber, shouting the fascist slo- gan. The departure of the opposi- tion followed defeat of six motions of cisconfidence in the government and various members of the cab inet and demands for dissolution and new elections.
