Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

MARY BORDEN, in series of articles on mar
4VA riage for Pictorial Review, suggests that it
might be pleasant to have a different husband for
each season. This is of the enticing customs in
old Tibet
Yet four I think, is too many But how
venient would be for every wife to have two hus
handsome to make the living and the other for
social purposes.
Every woman who has had to listen to the
growls of the enraged male as he donned dress
clothes for little evening with the Smiths" knows
what I mean.
It's the hardest thing in the world to find
man who combines business and social efficiency. If
he keeps your allowance adequate, he usually dis
likes public dining and it. on the other hand he is
pleasant about dancing and the theater the chances
are that he will be no good at money making. Life
is like that
WE keep up fine pretense of enjoyment about
w these mixed parties of married people But
the attitude is largely bluff. For the men when
they leave home at all, prefer the stag affairs,
where they do not have to be perpetually their
good behavior, required to make pretty speeches
to women who bore them, and where their wives
can not show them of like expertly manipulated
puppets.
And women-weli, the truth is, enjoy most
those gatherings where We sink in silken
shimmerings of femninity, where the babble is
deafening, but the appreciation of fetching gown
is keen and where We can experience that sense of
complete kinship that women, even though they are
enemies feel for one another.
There is only one sensible way for the sexes to
mix socially That is to give parties where guest
would be hampered by presence of husband or wife.
And this especially in some parts of the United
States, would be regarded as immoral, if not de-
PRAYED.

DOWN the back ways Of his
- tory and legend story has
come to us from the long ago,
bringing a lesson too fine to be
lost. Whether the story is au-
thentic or not we do not know,
but it is too good not to be true.
1t tells how Jesus, walking with
his disciples across stony and
barren field one day said: IF
each one who goes here would
carry stone away, it soon would
be a fertile land"
At once each of the disciples
picked up a stone. John found
as large a stone as he could car
ry, and the other disciples did
likewise, according to their good
will. But Simon Peter was in
a sullen, sulky mood, and he Sc
lected a tiny stone, hardly more
than pebble, and went march
ing along with the rest.
When they reached the other
side of the field, they sat down to
rest under a tree by a bright
spring of water.
The Master, seeing that they
were weary, told them to put
their stones in front of them.
I'VE are hungry, and have moth
ing to eat" said Peter, who was
thinking only of his food.
Those who work will always,
have bread" said the Master, and
10! in an instant the stones were

me that he heard you were strick-

raving in print about sycophants

alarming. He said that you ap-

you in bars. 1 earnestly trust

Copper and Chromium

NONE of these coatings has
~ been entirely satisfactory,
DR.. Johnston tells us, and so re-
search is going on continuously to
find new and better ones.
"A great deal of effort also has
been put forth in experimental
work aiming to lessen the rate of
rusting of iron by addition of
alloying elements, with little
success except in two instances,
both discovered some twenty years
ago." he continues.
First, the presence of about
Il per cent copper in steel slows
down markedly it's rate of rusting
and destruction in the atmosphere
and has proved to be especially
advantageous in steels exposed to
industrial atmospheres as in and
near cities.
This type of steel, which is sold
as copper steels and also under
various trade-names, costs little
more than ordinary steel, slows
down the rate of rustir in the at
mosphere, but is not rustless.
Second, the discovery was made
that addition Of chromium to the
extent of II per cent Or more rem
ders the iron substantially rust
less under many conditions of use.
This was a rather surprising
discovery, for chromium is not in
herently noble metal in the
sense that gold and platinum are.
Indeed, it is really less noble
than iron, but has the power of

SCIENCE
Rust Costs Huge Sum
BY DAVID DIETz

THE fact that steel rusts re-
Il suits annually in the loss Of
millions of tons of metal and hun
dredS of millions of dollars. For
that reason, laboratories in all
parts of the world are hard at
work upon the problem of making
steels which will be more resistant
to rust.
Progress to date in these fields
recently was summed up by DR..
John Johnston, director of re-
search of the United States Steel
Corporation.
"The properties of steel are so
valuable, indeed so unique, that
the world wishes to use it for all
sorts Of purposes, and so tries to
offset it's tendency to rust by ap-
plying to the steel surface some
sort CT protective coating" he
says. Familiar examples are:
by electroplating the steel with
copper, nickel, chromium, or other
metal.
by coating it with another
metal, with tin. as in the familiar
tin can, or with zinc to make the
so-called galvanized iron, or with
lead.
by coating with a glass or
Wtreous enamel as in the familiar
enamelWare.
BY covering the surface with
paint or tar or other similar ma
terials."

Stainless Steels

CHROMIUM retains this abil-
~ ity to form a coating Of
oxide even when it is part of an
iron alloy, provided that it is
present to the extent of IL per
cent or more.
This is the basis for all the
recent rapid development of the
so-called stainless steels," DR..
Johnston says, their stainless
ness being in all cases due to the
chromium which they contain.
1T is Of interest to note that
the element chromium had been
known for more than a century
before it recently was put to
work, as a metal, for the world
This delay in making use of
chromium is due in part to the
comparative difficulty of extract
ing it from its ores, but mainly
to the presumption that 1t
would exhibit no outstanding
valuable properties.
Moreover, it was thought of
as rare, but its ores prove now
to be at least as abundant in the
earth's crust as are ores of cop
per, and to be much more plenti-
full than ores of lead or of tin,
all of which usually are not
thought of as rare metals.
1T is true that chromium still
is-and is likely to continue to be
rather expensive as compared to
the wonderfully cheap metal iron,
and therefore that steels contain
ing enough chromium to render
them stainless must inevitably
cost more than ordinary steels
cost a century ago, render special
service, which for many purposes
justifies their extra cost"

Fishbein on the nature and treatment
of lockiaw.
A NCIENT Greeks knew about
L "A lockjaw. Indeed, the father
of modern medicine, Hippocrates,
described it and made some state
ments about the likelihood of re-
covery which still are good.
1t was not, however, until 1865
that it was thought to be infec-
tious and the germ was not de-
scribed until 1886.
Today it is possible to isolate
the germ, to grow it artifcially
and to produce lockjaw in animals
by injecting germs into their
bodies.
The poison produced by these
germs is one of the most power
full known. Most people used to
think that tetanus, or lockjaw,
always was caused by scratching
the skin with a rusty nail.
Today it is known that the
rusty nail produces the disease
because it is contaminated with
material containing the germ Of
tetanuS.

MILL OWNERS IN MASS. TO MEET
 WITH STRIKERS
Task Seems Hopeless One as Owner Will Not COn= cede Any Recognition of the Union

Peabody, Mass, April 28.-(UP) to the pleas of citi- zens' committee, tannery owners today were to meet representatives of G,500 employees in an effort to settle the five-week- strike of leather workers in three Massa- chusetts cities. Meantime, stoning of automobiles bearing strike breakers, and riots continued in the strike zones at Lynn. Peabody, and Salem. Ten men were arrest ed here and at Salem yesterday in connection with the outbreaks.
 Headed by District Judge Daniel C. Manning of Peabody, chairman of the citizens committee, con- ferees were to, meet at Salem. Mayors of three cities, four strik- CTS representatives from each city. and manufacturers were to make what was regarded as an almost hopeless attempt to iron out diff ferences. Strikers demand recog- nition of the National Shoe and Leather Workers association, and standardization of wages. Manu- lecturers have fiatly refused to negotiate with union representa- tives on ground that they are not leather workers.
 Four more tanneries sought in- functions against picketing of their plants, and company officials de- clared they would be enforced vigorously. The Peabody city coun- cil passed resolution to prohibit busses and trucks from entering the city without permits. This ac- ton was taken to prevent importa- tion of strike-breakers.
