THE discovery of large deposits
Il of molybdenum ores in this
United States has increased the use
of the metal in recent years. While
there are deposits in various parts
of the world, America now boasts
the largest and richest ones which
are known.
Phillips says that new methods of
refining the ore is gradually lover
ing the cost of the metal.
1T has been said that, excepting
carbon, molybdenum is the most
potent alloying element added to
STEEL he continues:
"Molybdenum can be substituted
for tungsten in the ratio of one for
two. In quantities generally used
in steel, molybdenum for the most
part goes into solution with the
iron, though when present in per-
centageS of over l per cent, Or when
considerable quantities of chrome or
manganese are present, it forms a
double carbide.
1T is also probable that definite
compound of molybdenum and iron
is formed when cooled through the
critical range.
Used in percentages as low az
one-tenth OF / per cent, or two
pounds to the ton, it has shown
marked tendencies in resisting cor
roSion. In percentages up to 10
per cent If offers possible substi-
tute for the tungsten high-speed

Just Every Day Sense
THE ARGUMENT that only babies who are war
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE ARGUMENT that only babies who are wanted
i should be born leaves me cold. And the facts
disprove it.
If every woman told the bare truth rare indeed
would be the child who is ardently desired at the
moment of conception In the back of ones mind
of us regard this question much like we do that of
dying. We know it will happen to day. In
the meantime, why think of it?
And woman may desire baby and yet rebel at
the immnence of its arrival For getting right down
to the business of having it is good deal different
from talking about it in sentimental terms
Fannie Scarns Davis has expressed the truth about
the unwanted baby much better than I can.
Il thought should go gypsying through life foot
free and happier so,
I thought it would be always good to fly;
I should not need a hearth for sitting by
A fire TO warm my hands, haunting face
To lure me home to any prisoned place
OF needy love and clamor. I would die
Without desire for these
All. here am Il
Hugging you fast strange helpless little star
Fallen to me from space clear so far
l never courSed it in dream.
who desired you not but would go free
Am held unfuttering in your frail soft hand
No dull and happy woman in the land
For living-loving-can keep pace with me-
a ND this, let me assure you, is not sentimentasm
1t Is living truth. Hearts that long have lain
falow love that is asleep may be stirred to life and
wakefulness by the miracle of the coming of your
own baby.
And am of the opinion that woman who has
not experienced the emotional reactions that follow
childbirth speak with authority upon this subject
Her motives may be most sinsere, but her infor-
nation is based on ignorance.

Theory and Reality

THERE is a big difference be-
l. tween ideals and ideas, between
what we hope for in theory and
what is attainable in practice.
We must go on dreamir" of better
days to come, since that is essential
to progress, but in doing so, we can
not afford to ignore realities.
Among all the realities with which
we are acquainted, human nature
is the most intimate and exacting.
Strive as we may, to make our
selves believe that war is contingent
on this or that custom, philosophy
or doctrine, we generally are forced
to fall back on the very regrettable
fact that in nine cases out of ten,
it is traceable to the common weak
nesses. impulses and caprices OF
mankind

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-There is much talk
of tax reduction in our state today.
1t is rather amusing to me that the
leader in the special session move
ment is Senator Lee Hartzell of FIT.
Wayne, who, during the 1881 ses-
sion, was such strong foe of old
age pensions, which the Fraternal
Order of Eagles has shown repeat
edly is a cheaper method of caring
for the worthy old men and women
than the poorhouse system.
To add to the amusement, Gov
ernor Leslie takes great credit for
vetoing the pension bill last year,
stating he saved the taxpayers
money.
I don't know what kind of arith-
metic the Governor and the senator
studied, but Ramsey county, Min
nesota, under a pension law, is pay
ing $201.12 a person annually, while
the poorhouSe system, government
statistics show, cost $490.78 a person
annually. Where does the Governor
get the idea his veto saved the peo-
pies money?

he says.
"This led the discoverer to ascer-
tain the source of MaSamune's alloy
iron. Thereupon he purchased this
iron in large lots, much to the sur
prise of the Japanese. Later, when
they analysed captured German
cannon, they decided where a part
at least of the molybdenum ore was
obtained"
Discovered by Scheele in 1778 in
the form of an oxid, molybdenum
was first separated as a metal by
HELM in 1882.
1t is now produced commercially
by hyrogen reduction of the oxide,
pure oxide being obtained from
ammonium molybdate.
The resulting metallic powder is
Sintered, forged and rolled into
desired shapes. When pure, molyb-
denum is soft, white and ductile.
During the last thirty-five years,
a great deal of research was done
in Europe, Japan and the United
States" Phillips says.

Any One Can Start II

MAR is an activity over which
w no faction, no party and no
nation exercises complete control,
or anything like it.
Since anybody can start it, its
prevention obviously hinges on a
worldwide attitude.
Besides, there have been cases,
and there probably will be cases in
which war represents the only
means of protection, or relief.
People have been forced into war
not only by attack, but by such
tyranny and oppression as made
war preferable.

1T is commonly understood that

Chicago had today the same ty-
phoid rate that existed in 1890, it
would have approximately 10000
cases of typhoid each year instead
of less than 200. With that amount
of typhoid, there would be, of
course, a serious mortality.
But the menace of typhoid con-
tinues to exist as long as there are
persons who carry about the germs
of the disease and who do not take
measures to prevent dissemination
of germs into food and water
where they may multiply and bring

DiSIoyaIty Wrong Course

FINDER existing conditions, the

ments represent the highest form
of law and order we possess.
Until we have created something
better, it would be unwise to threat
en- them by open disloyalty under
certain circumstances for the sake

Any government could be wrecked
by the refusal of sufficient num-

seems to me untrue. I believe it

nor anybody els to take such a

SLOW BUT SURE

A AGREEMENT between Coachella Val
n ley and the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict with reference to the All-Ameri-
can canal contract, brings the valleys
great project a step nearer to aetuality.
Almost four years have passed since
President Coolidge signed the Boulder
dam bill which had previously been ap-
proved by congress after fight of al
most a decade. The four years have
seen active work started and progress
ing on the dam feature for which the bill
provided. In fact construction is now
more than six months ahead of sched-
ule.
In the meantime construction of the
canal has been delayed by disagreements
and technicalities, which have required
much time and work to overcome. The
people of Imperial Valley overwhelm-
ingly approved construction of the canal
early this year, but it is expected the
measure will have to voted on again by
reason of the changes in the contract
necessitated in order to reach an agree
ment with Coachella Valley, which is to
share in the cost of the canal.
There is no disposition here to criticize
anyone for the delays which have held
up actual construction of the canal. They
were bound to develop and it is best to
have all differences that may exist
Strengthened out before construction is
started, rather than to run the risk OF
any tie-ups after work once gets under
way.
The canal is assured. 1t is part of
project that is too big in scope to be
halted by anything short of the super
natural. 1t is taking time and will take
more time but most good things come
slowly.
