NeW Formula Releases Cold

industrial use from sea water" said
DR. Dow's report, has long held the
attention of chemists. and it is be-
lieved that the plant at Cape Fear is
the first to accomplish this achieve
ment on a commercial scale of Cper-
alton.
The extraction of gold from sea
water, in which it is present to the
extent of but few parts per billion.
has always been the. investigators
most fascinating goal. but no success
along this line has been reported thus
far
Now that the recovery OF bromlne,
which is present to the extent OF less
than 70 parts per million, has been
successfully executed. it does not seem
beyond reason to expect the chemist
of the next decade to extract gold
from sea water commercially"
In the bromine process the sea
water is rendered slightly acid with
sulphuric acid. This aeidity ''ionizes"
the gold. "Icnized" gold is ordinary
gold given the property Of electrical
attraction. This electrical attraction
means that it will stick to certain
other chemical substances. The prob
lem then is to find the cheap enough
chemicals which will filter out the
sticky gold.
Water Handling Sufficient.
Thomas Midgley. exhibiting mo-
ton picture of the bromine extraction,
said "the chemical problem in gold
recovery would be comparatively
simple, the only difficulty being the
handling of such vast amounts Of
sea water on a paying basis.
Ten years ago there was no one
in the world who believed bromine
could be extracted from sea water
commercially. Now it is an accom-
plished fact. For the first time man
has tapped the ocean for one of its
really great treasures. There is gold
enough in the sea to pave the North
American Continent.
Gold and silver promise to be next.

The New York Republican said he

1T would violate the Constitution

Smell said: NO one who respects
the constitutional limitations which
insure the orderly operation OF this
Government can look upon this bill
with anything but amazement and
diSmay.'
He also said: The Secretary of
Agriculture specifically mentioned the
sugar beet industry, the cane sugar
industry, the lace-making and fine
textile industry and the toy industry
as scheduled for extinction. He de-
scribed them as inefficient"

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
26-DiScovery Of chemical formula
which 'fonizes" the gold and silver
dissolved in sea water and promises
man his first "open sesame" to the
fabulous mineral riches Of the ocean
was announced to the American
Chemical Society today.
There is enough liquid gold in the
sea to pave North America and
enough silver to roof the world, but
until today scientists held it wild
dream to suppose man could ever
extract it at less than prohibitive
cost Today paying commercial ex-
traction within 10 years was fore
cast by two of the best known chem
lists in the United States.
The sea gold, in its new form. is
actually running at the rate of about
81 pounds a day. or $l,O0 worth
through the waste Of unique
chemical plant near Wilmington, N.
c.. about 6 pounds of silver day
goes with it; also valuable mercury,
likewise ''ionized."
Discovery Accidental.
None has been recovered, for the
all-important change in the nature
of the gold was an accidental or
unexpected by-product of extracting
bromine from sea water, which start
ed only two months ago.
The bromine end of the gold story
was given today in a report at Vinoy
Park by DR.. Willard H. Dow, who
helped establish a plant to extract
bromine from sea water at Wilmington.
This plant takes $4,000 pounds of
bromine daily from Atlantic tidewater
pumped into a plant on Cape Fear.
Bromine is used for anti-knock gaso-
line, war gas, headache medicines,
a number of human diseases and for
Photographic film.
The newly tapped supply is appar-
entity inexhaustible. Assays show
there is about an inch of bromine
per cubic mile. There is only about
-hundredth of an inch Of gold per
cubic mile in the Atlantic waters.
Some seas are richer in gold. others
less so

The present title of the institution

the Jefferson School was badly burned
in a disastrous fire in February, 1882,
and almost before the embers cooled,
the Board of Education minutes

was begun. It did elementary school
service for years, and during the cur
rent administration of DR.. Frank w.

the old structure was raised to the
blushing rank Of q junior high
school.
Compared with other junior high

by his biographers as q "crownine
achievement Of his career"
Congress already has given its ap-
proval to construction of a new and
modern Junior high school building
for this old institution. The fact
Is that it would be in service this
Jefferson day were it not for the
labyrinth of red tape and difficulties
which have beset the path of the

acquired. It is a site now occupied
by private property and well removed
