FLUOR|NE tanned
BY NEW METHOD
Gas Will Not Explode Under
System, Chemical Society
Is Told.
Rv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, April IA new
method of tanning fluorine, natures
most reactive element, was reported to
the American Chemical Society, which
ended its meeting here yesterday.
sFluorine is ordinarily a pale green
gas. However, it is SO active that even
fluorine frozen solid and hydrogen liuui-
fed at 422 degrees below zero Fahren-
heit explode violently if brought to-
gether.
Organic compounds exposed to the
action OF fuorine gas usually explode.
Called Valuable Asset.
Great re-aetivity if it can be cured
may turn out to be a valuable asset,
because it means that f1uorine will
combine readily with host of other
substances. This may lead to en- i'm
portant field of research in which there
is already considerable interest in
scientific circles.
The new method of handling f1uorine
was reported by Lucius A. Bigelow,
Phi. D.; P. j. Pearson, Lewis B. Cook
and George j. Haus of Duke University.
The organic compound to be COM
bined with fiuorine is first dissolved in
carbon tetrachoride. one of the sub
SldllCeS SOzilctlIIl6S uSSQ LII IRE ehUul-
guishers. The mixture is kept at freezing
temperature.
When fuorine is passed through this
solution, it combines and there is no
explosion; in other words, it stays put
at least long enough for the chemist
to see what is happening.
Will Not Explode.
The carbon tetrachloride is distilled
of and still the product remains stable
and does not explode. One fairly def
mite product. which has been obtained,
is a combination of f1uorine and nap
thalene, a substance common in moth
balls
This new product is gray and decom-
poses at temperature OF $50 degrees
above zero Fahrenheit,
The experiments have proven also that
contrary to previous beliefs, fiuorine can
displace chlorine from carbon tetra-
chloride at freezing temperature.

Morrison on Economy

| (Fr0m q recent speech an the
United States Senate by
Cameron MOrris0n) J.
More and more the States are
getting away from ad valorem
taxation, as they should; but the
difficulty is with every source Of
taxation possessed by the Fed
eral Government, for wherever
prosperity in any industry can
be found it is necessary for the
United States Government to
grab it, so to speak, and levy all
the taxation it will bear. The
States are staggering under
their difficulties; :; and yet the
highest reductions proposed by
anybody amount to just a few
hundred millions of dollars,
which will not relieve the situa-
ton at all either for the country
or the States. We ought to pro-
ceed not merely to cut 10 per cent
from these great appropriation
bills, but in most of them we
ought to go far beyond that.
| do not take much stock in
meeting the difficulty by cutting
the wages Of the people who
work for the Government. There
is a popular impression through
out the country that the employ
ees of the Government are highly
paid. We know it is not true.
They are paid small wages COM
pared to private business, and
some of them are paid little more
than enough to exist upon; but
the difficulty is that we have
great armies Of them that | do
not believe the fathers who
founded this Republic ever de-
signed should be employed in the
activities in which they are en-
ployed. We ought to dismiss
them altogether and get back to
only the clearly enumerated du-
ties Of the United States Govern
ment.

Vandals at Laurel Hill

To the Editor:
Chapel Hill is noted through
out the country for its beauty,
and beauty is supposed to in
spire in the beholder reverence
for things of beauty. This rule
seems to fall down, however, in
the case Of the citizens and the
students in Chapel Hill.
Ever since | have been here
Laurel Hill has been one of the
treasure spots for me. The first
time l saw this place, with the
rhQdodendron in full bloom, my
attachment to Chapel Hill was
doubled. Foremost among my
regrets at leaving here is that /
will be unable to enjoy the bios
som time at Laurel Hill every
spring.
| suppose there has always
been vandalism, but this year it
seems to be particularly bad.
The wanton destruction of one
of my sanctuaries of beauty fills
me with emotions that | find it
hard to express adequately. Last
Sunday the rhododendron was in
full bloom, and the vandals were
out in full force. The great
clusters Of delicately pink flow
ers were snatched ruthlessly
from the bushes, the limbs were
broken indiscriminately, and the
whole face Of the Hill was mar
red and mutilated. The flowers
fade and wilt very quickly after
they are broken. The woods be-
tween Morgan creek and Chapel
Hill are streWn with these crush
ed and Wilted flowers.
|. Fortunately. the greater num-

crime of destruction were child

fortunately, because that leaves
a hope that something can be
done If they were adults moth
ing short of chains and a prison
cell would stop them. With these
youngsters, however, a good old
fashioned application of a switch
like mother used to WELD would
do a world of good if accompan-
led with the proper admOnltlon
and example from the parents.

cure the children, then the Uni
verslty can take measures for

CUT DOWN MILITARY
EXPENDITURES.

L VERY NATION III the world, apparent

ious to accept President Hoover's proposal
countries shall reduce their offensive arma-
ment by one third Japan at the moment is
under the control Of the military party and
its members do not like the idea Of losing
their jobs, while France, as usual, demands
security
France is the most heavily armed M
ton in the world, and intends to remain
SO unless the rest of the world will gllara1s-
tee that Germany will not make another at
tempt to gobble her up. We can hardly
blame France for her fear of Germany in
view Of the fact that the attempt has been
made from across the Rhine twice in the
memory Of men still III their prime. But
, the French people are groaning under the
weight Of taxes for military purposes as
much as the rest of the world. The proposal
would not effect Frances defensive forti-
fcations and guns, and would lessen the
strength of any attacking power
To cut the French army to s'pollce size
would release $4,000 men now under arms,
for useful productive labor, with CORE
spending saving to the taxpayers of France
Our own countrv's share in the estimated
saving of $15.O0O00O00 for the whole
world would be around four billion dollars.
1t would be much more for France with lis
population less than half Of ours.
We are hopeful though not over-con-
fdent that out Of the disarmament confer
ence will come something tangible which
will at once enable the world to reduce
| taxes and at the same time give better
guarantees against another war than now
exist. The most definite assurance Of Sc
cllrity that could be offered to France Is the
proposal made BY Chancellor Won Papcn, Of
Il military alliance between Germany and
France If that was made in good faith
then it seems to us that the French if they
do not accept it. will simply be proving what
the Germans believe, that the aim Of the
| French politicians is not security but con
lquest.
