on that particular citizen who has
rendered the greatest good and most
beneficial service for the industrial,
commercial and economic welfare Of
his community during the past year.
It il not . medal awarded for aes.
thetic purposes, 10 specific acts Of
bravery or because Of personal popu-
larity. It is intended to serve as q
mark Of respect or recognition for
that sterling citizen rich or poor who
has actually contributed an unselfish
service to put into motion the wheels
Of industry, or the forces Of econom-
ic development, that have brought
expansion and progress to the city
in which he lives. It is intended to

Birth Rate Versus BattaIions

Is God on the side of the heaviest battaIions? So
said Napoleon, though his own strategy often more
than made up for the superior force of his opponents
1t is probable that all other things being equal bat
talionS win in the immediate military conflict But
in the long God may be on the side of the highest
birth rate
Validity Of this argument is suggested by DR..
Louis I. Dublin in an article in the New York Times.
Take some cogent Illustrations There is little doubt
that France could mop up Italy today Both nations
have population of about Al 100000 But how about
1875, when France will have less than 4oOOoOOo and
italy more than 6000o0Oo?
Today given freedom to arm Germany would
crush Poland like an eggshelL She has 64ooo0oO to
Polands 100000. In 1875, however statisHcians
estimate that the German population will have fallen
to 100000, while that of Poland will have risen to
6O0000Oo
Further, a holy war against Russia on the part
OF western Europe, If postponed to 1866, will be a
si5abe undertaking. BY that time Russia will prob
ably have population of S0o0OOoOo, while western
Europe hardly will hold it's own
Entirely aside from military issues population
changes may have slight effect on cultural situa
tlons BY and large the industrial and urban nations
are those most advanced in culture But thew are the
ones falling behind in the battle of the babies,
The chief hope here lies in the possibility that
Russia may prove the superior civilization that her
propagandists contend. Otherwise the present ponu
laton trends in Europe will shift the cultural balance
backward rather than forward

All Must Share

TXTE are pretty well agreed that
Wv prosperity is not the genuine
article unless the masses share in
it, but it remains for us to recog-
nize that this also is true of
progress.
Those enterprises and activities
in which only a small percentage
of people can participate are Just
as bad from an economic or intel
lectual standpoint as in the field
of politics.
The Democratic philosophy is, if
anything, more essential to the
everyday habits and efforts of So
ciety than to government.
Most Of our present difficulties
originate in the obvious disregard
of this.
The idea of getting out in front,
no matter for what purpose, still
is the most common and dangerous
plague--money with which to make
a show, clevernesS with which to
gain applause, feats with which to
make name.

moved from direct contact with the
oil, he begins to clear up.
In some cases the irritation of
the skin is made worse by using
burlap to wipe the oil off the hands
and the forearms.
Burlap is exceedingly rough and
usually is contaminated with infec-
ton. In severe cases the people
have to stay home from work at
least a week, and keep the skin
cleansed thoroughly with soap and
water and apply various ointments
containing sulphur and balsam of
Peru to encourage healing.
The Investigators tested the oil
in various forms on a number of
patients and concluded as a. result
of their Investigations that linseed
contains a skin irritant to which
some individuals react without pre-
vious sensitization.
They find further that this irri-
tant is not present in pure linseed
oil or in the impurities removed
from inseed by passing it through
sieVes.

Are We Growing Old?

And since the Pilgrim Fathers landed nearly every
ship sailing westward toward these hosptable shores

or party, some radical some undesirable citizen" Of
the old world his face lighted with dreams of free
dom and equal opportunity
Among them were young men-Irish, Jews, Ita-
tans German Forty Fighters" Russian revolution

return Of more than 100000 aliens
The drive is aimed especially at alien radicals We
hear of the Italian radicals Serio and Rade about
to be returned to Fascist Italy, there to meet almost
certain punishment by DEATH of the Japanese Com
munist Kenmotsu, facing similar fate; of depor-
tation raids assisted by patriotic societies in Los

DaredeviIS Hurt Aviation

NTHEN you get right down to
w brass tacks, it's what average
people can do that counts, and it's
the man, or woman, who makes it
possible for average people to do
more that really is responsible for
civilized progress.
Daredevil performers have harmed
rather than helped, aviation.
Such airmindedness as we possess
is due mainly to those pilots who
are flying the mail and CONNER
cial ,airways, and who have demon
strated the possibilities of aviation
under average conditions.
You can take most anything. no
matter how old or how new, and
make a record or a stunt with it. In
spite Of all mechanical speed de-
vices, the late Edward P. Weston
acquired worldwide fame by out
walking every one.
Edward Miles Of Newark, N. j.,
just has made the front pages OF
the metropolitan dailies by arriving
at Manila on his way around the
world in 37-foot boat.
We have sense enough to recog-
nize that champion pedestrians and
small boat navigators contribute
very little, though we still are glad
to applaud their achievements.

Utility Is What Counts

CIVILIZATION is like business,
~ in that it depends chiefly on
mass consumption.
The fact that one man or woman
out of a million can fly fate in the
face and get away with it, means
no more and no less than does the
fact that one man Or one woman
out of a million possesses a big
fortune.
Whether it is a suspender buckle
or an airplane, the value depends
on how many people can use it to
advantage under ordinary circum-
stances.
The auto has become an all-in1-
portant vehicle in this country, not
because of the rapidity with which
a few dare-devilS have been able to
drive it, but because it has been
brought to a point of safety and
service where average people can
handle it.
The future of aviation depends
not on what a highly trained few
can do, but on the possibility of
adapting it to the needs and cap
abilities of the many.

Chemical Methods

A MOTHER method of utilizing
L \ coal, which will become in
creasingly important in the future,
is the hydrogenation Of coal.
The first method of this sort was
developed by Professor Friedrich
Bergius of Heidelberg, Germany. In
his method, pulverized coal mixed
with oil is introduced at high pres
sure along with hydrogen gas into
great steel drums, the temperature
Of which is carefully controlled.
The hydrogen reacts with the
coal to form lighter hydrocarbons,
which can be distilled into gasoline
and other fuel oils.
The problem, however, is being
attacked from another angle as well.
Chemists today are interested in a
number Of methods which are
grouped under the name of low
temperature carbonization.
The manufacture Of coke for the
steel industry by means of the by
product coke oven is called high
temperature carbonization because il
is carried on at temperatures rang
ing from 1000 to 1900 degrees.
Centigrade.
Low-temperature carbonization is
low in comparison only, since the
temperatures used are pretty hot.
as such things go. a temperature of
from $50 10 700 degrees, Cent?
grade, being used. (Water boils at
temperature Of 100 degrees, Cent?
grade)
Low temperature carbonization
yields a product which has been
named semi-coke, two or three
times as much tar as the high-tem-
perature process, considerable gas
and some oils and ammonia.
The tar can be converted into
gasoline and other fuel oils BY
means Of cracking process.
One difficulty at the present time
is to find a market for the semi
coke, which is not as good as coke
for use in the steel industry.
The Indianapolis times., 1931-04-22
PuIverized Coal

A NUMBER of methods have been
4 n suggested to improve the quail
lty OF coal by decreasing its content
Of mineral matter or ash.
Public service corporations are
particularly interested in this. be-
cause clean coal makes for more
efficient boiler operation and be-
cause freight costs would be low
cred II the incombustible part OF
coal was removed before the coal
was shipped.
Present methods of removing ash
from coal require that the coal be
pulverized first. One method de-
veloped in England uses an air blast
to blow out the finer dust particles.
The pulverized coal then is al
lowed to settle on a solution of cal
cium chloride. The coal particles
float on top, while the ash. sinks to
the bottom Of the solution.
A number Of steamships now are
being operated on pulverized coal.
German engineers also are inter
eSted In the problem and have de-
veloped a number of railway loco
motives to run on pulverized coal
The chemist, however, bases his
chief hope for the future upon
processes in which the coal is not
used in the form Of coal at all. but
converted into other products.
Such a process now goes on. of
course, in the manufacture of coke
for use in the steel industry. The
by-product coke oven now used took
the place Of an older type known
as the beehive oven.
In the beehive oven, so-calIed
because Of its shape, the coal was
ignited and then allowed to snoul-
der. Coke was produced, but all
the other ingredients Of the coal
were wasted
The by-product oven, from each
ton Of coal, produces approximately
1900 pounds Of coke, 1880 cubic
feet Of gas, II gallons of tar, 25
pounds of ammonium sulphate, and
4 gallons of light oils.

SCIENCE
The Chemist Believes That
oar Coal Supply Should Be
Used More Economically.
BY DAVID DIETZ.

EVERY trail of black smoke ris-
IL ing from chimney Is q sym
Dol Of waste to the chemist. Every
shovelful Of coal thrown into a
furnace, whether in home or fac
tory. is a challenge to him.
The chemist believes that the day
is coming when civilization viii
have to make more economical use
OF its coal supplies. and that the
sooner the right beginning is made.
the better it viii be for the future
Of mankind.
Petroleum and natural gas viii not
last forever: some authorities be-
heve they will be gone n a few
decades.
Water power is not sufficient to
carry the entire load Of supplying
the world its power. Many nations
nave enough coal to last for CEN
turies at the present rate Of con-
sumption.
The United States, best off in
this respect, has a supply for 1000
years to come. But the best coal is
going first, and the United States
supply Of anthracite and the finest
nltuminous will be in another CEN
tury or two.
Three problems face the chemists
ana engineers Of the world. One
is to increase the efficiency with
which coal is utilized.
The second is to make 1t possible
to use low-grade coal supplies where
nlgn-grade ones are now required.
The third IS to manufacture gaso-
me and other fuel oil substitutes
from coal
