Times, was created knight commander

Lord Melchett, the great British in
dustrial leader, is dead at SO. He was
chairman of Drummer Mond & Co., Ltd,
and of Imperial Chemical Industries,
Ltd, which great combination disposes
of capital to the tune of about $780,
100000. He was perhaps the guiding
spirit in the formation of the National
Council of Industry and Commerce,
aimed at cooperative effort of capital
and labor to find a way through the
desperate maze. He was educated at
Cambridge and Edinburgh and for a
short time in his early days practiced
as barrister. His father, DR.. Ludwig
Mond, of a poor Jewish family in Cas-
sci, Germany, went to England in 1862
and five years later was naturalized
as British subject.
His lordship gave literally of time and
money to Zionism. He rendered impor-
tant service in the war as commissioner
of works, etc, and used his industrial
power munificently. He was a fellow
of the Royal Society and has been
called 1.-The British apostle of RATIONAL
ization." His conversion in 1925 from
free-trade liberalism to conservatism
caused a great sensation. He was an
ardent advocate of that policy con-

FRANCE.-Marshal Joffre Is dead.
For long time he suffered from an in
flammation of the arteries of the lower
limbs, and on December 19 a sudden
aggravation of the condition necessi-
tated amputation of the right foot.
Serious complications set in at once,
and the bulletins forbade hope. But
for six days the magnificent fighter
fought of death with characteristic
obstinacy. He displayed that same
quality of stoicism which was so i'm
portant and happy feature of his con-
duct of the supreme French command
in the earlier days of the war, a quality
almost as serviceable as the authentic
genius of a Gallieni or a Foch. No
doubt Gallieni was the genius Of the
first Marine, but, after all, it was Joffre
who made the fateful decisions, and he
will rightly go down as the supreme
hero of the most important of battles.

the corridors of time. Death came on
the eve of his seventy-ninth birthday.

was more than the usual dependence on
orders for the Army and Navy. whereas
in 1929 supply to the services was only
80 per cent of that to commercial uses,
in 1880 it was rs per cent. On the
other hand, the major air transport
lines did more business than in 1929:

about the same, but passengers total

1929
The total production throughout the
world of the Ford Motor Co. in 1880
was about 100000 cars and trucks, as

THE VACANT LOT
BY BRUCE BARTON

THEN years ago, in the midst
Of the depression of
1920-21, I made a talk
- before a thousand men
representing one of the coun-
try'S basic industries.
For weeks they had heard
nothing but bad news from
their statesmen. Their only
mail was cancellations. 1t was
a tough assignment for a
speaker.
I showed these hopeless
gentlemen a photograph of a
vacant lot, a big corner, a
couple of hundred feet square,
in the very center of New
York.
said to them: Doesn't it
strike you as strange that
here in the heart of the
greatest city, where land is
worth thousands of dollars a
front foot. there should, be
this vacant lot?"
They were only mildly in
terested, but 1 took a deep
breath and ploughed ahead.
"I'll tell you why that lot is
vacant" I continued. ut was
part of a farm. Just a hun
dred years ago the farmer
died; his will gave definite in
structions to his heirs. They
were at liberty to do as they
wished with his other prop
erty, but this particular cor
ner of his favorite pasture was
to remain forever unincum-
bered with buildings as a rest
ing place for his bones and
the bones of his wife.

= CIENCE looks into the future.
It's prophets stand on the noun
tains of experience and catch
fleeting glinpses through the
clouds of the vast confusion OF
an infinite succession of tomorrows.
Some of these prophecies were voiced
before the American Association for the
Advancement of Science at Cleveland
last week The seers looked far with
the telescope of exact, objective OBJ
servation, and further still when the
landscape beyond was illuminated with
lightning flashes of intuition.
Foremost among the prophets stands
DR.. Robert A. Millikan. Few men Nv
ing have penetrated so deeply into the
intricate mechanism of that super
machine-creation.
But is it merely a machine-funda-
mentally no different, for all its far
flung universes, from the toy tractor
which Santa Claus left under the tree
Christmas eve. The child winds up his
toy with a key, thereby putting into 1t
a supply of energy, and it moves across
the floor until this energy is exhausted.
Then it stops and cannot move again
until more energy is put into 1t. Such,
by law memorable and eternal, is the
fate of every machine. There is no
perpetual motion-either for toys or
creations There is no eternal life in
mechanics and there is no natural res
surection. The machine-whether 1t
be made of metal or star dust or
protoplaSm-can do no more than ex-
pand the energy that is given it.
So says the second law of thermo-
dynamics, as it is applied to the uni
verse. Heat always passes from hotter
body to a colder one. There are no
conditions whatever under which it will
pass of its own natural tendency from
lower temperature to higher. Con-
sequently, say the mathematical as
ronomers-specif1ca Sir Arthur Ed
dington and Sir James Jeans-tn the
long sweep of time the heat energy of
the universe will eventually become
equally distributed through all the
matter in the universe and creation will
be dead. 1t is the blacklist chapter in
all the books of prophecy-that second
law of thermodynamics.
But DR.. Millikan takes a different
view. There is a difference, he holds,
between the cosmos and other machines.
For the last dozen years the man whose
magical ingenuity first isolated the
electron has been studying strange
sort of radiation, of wavelength far
shorter than the shortest of X-rays,
which is bombarding the earth from
space. 1t will go through six feet of
lead. It is the same at all hours and in
all places. Obviously it does not come
from the sun for it is as great by night
as by day. 1t might come from the
stars-but DR.. Millikan's mathematical
analysis does not lead him to think So
It is born, he believes, in the vast
reaches of Space-and how?
Every luminous body is sending out

hundred years ago only
a little more than one life
time this island was farms.
Moreover, the people who lived
on it assumed that it always
would be farms. Now look at
ia city of 100000 people.
"Yet you men sit here in the
midst of it and assume that
because business has slowed
up little America is never
going to buy any more shoes,
any more houses, any more
automobiles. Don't be like
the owner of that farm. The
country which was pastures
only three generations ago is
going to continue to step
ahead. This is the time to
make plans for a bigger
future"
They looked at me as much
as to say: Here is a bright
young man trying his best to
cheer us up. But, of course, he
doesn't know what he is talk
ing about"
The other day by a curious
coincidence I was invited to
address the same convention
in the same hotel. I made the
same speech.
''You thought I was talking
through my hat 10 years ago."
I said to them "Rut lust Look
at the last 10 years. Every
man in this room has done
more business than he would
have dreamed possible in
1920"
I told them about the va
cant lot again. They looked
interested and clapped their
hands. But suspect that
most Of them still think that
I was talking through my hat.

Are You Watching Your
 BLOOD PRESSURE ?

Almost every case of apoplexy is aggravated by spells of indigestion often accompanied by dizziness, es- pecially after eating heavy foods or a too hearty meal.
 If you are beginning to be troub- led by slight digestive upsets-if you have pain or other distress after eating-if you suffer from sick headaches or dizzy spells
 Start taking tablespoonful of Dare's Mentha Pepsin before meals By replenishing your scanty gastric juice and easing the load on a tired stomach, Dares keeps your stomach from getting out of order.
 No conscientious druggist would pretend for a moment that any stomach remedy could absolutely prevent apoplexy. But he will tell you that by keeping your digestion running along smoothly, you are doing much to lessen the danger of an attack. J.
 Butler, Mauro Drug Co., and all good druggists guarantee Dare's to overcome indigestion or money back. adv.

|7,900 POUNDS GENERALIZATION |OF KING SALMON OF MIL CUR|NC
 LIFTED ON DOCK AT S|TkA SEEN
Two of Largest Operators Expected to Concentrate
 Operations in that City

Concentration of the mild cur 1 ing of king salmon in Southeast Alaska in Sitka is looked for as and early development in that in- dustry, according to Eiler Hansen who returned home this week from an absence of several days on a hunting trip with several Sitka ubsiness men. Steps to bring about the consolidation, have already been started, he said.
 MT. Hansen left here early last week with several Sitka friends and after a hunt on the southern end of Admiralty Island and along the shores bordering on Peril Strait went to Sitka, returning here on the Estebeth. A good bag of deer was accumulated by the hunters,
 Practically all of the king sal- mon mildcured in Southeast Alas ka are taken within a 100-mile radius of Sitka, MT. Hansen point ed out. At present the mildcuring
 
 stations are widely scattered and costs of operations vary with the haulage distance involved. It is expected that important economies will be effected by centralizing the business at Sitka where facilities for taking care of it are adequate Two of the largest factors in the industry have said to have investi- gated the possibilities and one of them has already announced it will centralize it's operations at Sitka
 While the benefits to the indus try are manifest, those accruing to Sitka will be equally as important MT Hansen said The movement will add to the Sitka Cold Storage plants business and be reflected in increased prosperity for every business house in the town.

ENGLAND FACES
!. CRAVE CRISIS
Photo by International

LONDON. Aug. II ONS0.-
With the budget deficit growing
larger and larger, Prime Minister
j. Ramsay Macdonald returned to
Downing Street today to struggle
with what London newspapers
termed the gravest situation to
confront the British nation since
August, 1914, when the war began.
Some papers carried on their
front pages MacDonald'S warning
against a panic alongside Marshal
Haig'S famous backs to the wall''
order to his troops in the face of
the great German offensive of
1918.
Observers said that it was prob
able that the prime minister
would soon call an extra session
of Parliament.
Macdonald nailed as ridiculous
and discreditable the rumor that
he intended to demand a nation
wide reduction in wages and sal
aries as a means of meeting the
nations economic troubles and in
directly of increasing the govern
ment'S revenues. He said:
"My message to the nation is
to be steady"

TOKYO, Aug. II GN.S)-
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind.
bergh were at PetropavlovSk
Kamchatka, today, getting ready
for the next hop of their journey
to Tokyo and around the world.
Meantime Tokyo awaited them,
ready to etend a rousing welcome.
According to the schedule OF
the famous airman and his wife,
they were to leave PetrOpavlOvsk
tomorrow, but the newspaper
Otchisi reported today that the
start for NemurO, Japan, would be
made today because of approach
ing unfavOrabIe weather.
HOnOred BY P0pulace
Otchisi later reported the fliers
already had left Petropavlovsk,
but this proved erroneous.
The Lindberghs were the center
of attention of Petropavlovsk to
day, the humble population OF
japanese, Russian, and Mongol
gold miners, fishermen, and fur
trappers doing them every honor
in their power.
After a flight down the desc
late Siberian coast, from Kara
gin Island, the LindberghS' black
plane came to rest in Petropav-
lovsk harbor at l a. m. Sunday,
Washington time.
