IRON, copper, coal and petroleum make the modern

alone couldn't turn the trick Without suIphuric
acid there would be no machine age ms might
Just as we'll be called the age Of suphurlc acid as
the age Of steel.
Therein lies one of Uncle Sans secure claims to
the future. For Uncle Sam comes very, very close
to having monopoly Upon the worlds supply OF
sulphur In 1929 there were only two nations which
were important sources and sulphur and only six
nations that produced any sulphur at all.
The United States produced IS per cent OF the
worlds supply. Italy came next with II per cent.
japan produced per cent. Chile and Spain each
contributed one-haf of per cent. Greece supplied
an amount not sufficiently large to warrant
tabulation.
TINE only sulphur reserves of any Importance.
l. according to Mr.. William P. Rawles secretary
of the mineral inquiry, located in the United
States Italy and Chile
In chemical laboratories all over the world scien-
lists are asking themselves the question, How can
we get along without sulphuric acid?" They are
hunting for substitutes, for manufacturing processes
which can get along without suphuric acid.
Commercial sulphuric acid is a water dilution OF
the pure or concentrated acid. The concentrated
acid, known "oil Of vtrio" is thick, colorless,
oily liquid much heavier than water, which chars
paper and cloth like fire. Kisses like something alive
when it touches water, and which is capable OF dis
solving away human flesh.
Without this powerful oily liquid, mankind would
soon find itself without STEEL gasoline, lubricating
OIL automobile tires electric storage batteries, gall

stuffs, and great array Of synthetic drugs per-
fumes, and the like.
IT also is required in the making Of dynamite
l. most mining processes would come TO halt and
the world would find itself without an adequate
supply Of metals.
The American method of mining sulphur, used IN
Texas and louisiana is the Frasch process, first in
troduced into Louisiana in 1891 By DR.. Hermann
Frasch.
Three concentrie pipes that Is. a system OF three
pipes within the other, are driven down into
the ground to where the sulphur deposits occur. A
stream of compressed air is forced down the center
pipe. Water which is under pressure. and which
therefore can be heated beyond the ordinary boiling
point is forced down the outermost pipe. This
causes the sulphur to melt and rise in the middle or
intermediate pipe Of the system

surprising amount OF hard and honest work which
comes out of a corrupt system. In the rank and
file Of Tammany oficehoders there are many who
actually try TO give the city a run for its money
But that IS not the way the tide runs or the
pressure is applied.
In all cities It generally is held that while good
government may be more honest, machine rule IS
much more fun. BY some curious accident honest
rule has become confused with Puritanism. In Phil

advocate OF reform is pictured sour-visaged in

Again and again reform has been wrecked by the
natural instinct OF big folk to after gaiety

GAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-Now
~ the Pacific ocean. like the
Atlantic, Is being regarded seri-
ously as a prospect for regular air
routes which would shorten the
transport Of passengers. mail, and
express from a matter of weary
DAYS to one OF exciting hours.
The prospect arises from the
announcement by President Juan
T. Trippe, of Pan-American Air
ways, that an experimental fight
will be undertaken shortly between
the United States and China, to
establish the prscticability Of
regular air transport across the
Pacific.
Pacific fights have been made
before, to be sure. But all here
tofore have been confined to
military or private airplanes
cleared Of all extraneous load and
with additional tanks Of gasoline
and oil to assure success of the
flights over the wide expanse Of
sea.
This time, however, Pan-Amer-
leans latest colossus of the air,
the Brazilian Clipper, or SAP,
will make the Pacific flight prac-
tically as a regular transport.
This huge amphibian, powered
by four 750-horse power Hornet
engines. is capable Of carrying
1000 pounds of mail and express,
forty-two passengers, and a crew
of five. 1t is 5ikcrsky built ship,

EvangeIiStiC Campaign Set

Simultaneous evangelistic effort
during the period from Nov. IL to
Is is being planned by a number
of Protestant churches here as part
of the evangelistic program of the
Church Federation of Indian
apolis, it was announced today by
DR.. Ernest Evans. More than sixty
churches will participate.
Methods employed will vary in
different churches, and the reSpon-
sibility for the success of the move
ment will rest with the pastors and
laymen of the individual churches.
The Rev. U. S. Clutton, Tuxedo
Park Baptist church pastor, is
evangelism committee chairman for
the church federation, which is SUI
pervising the movement.
Other members of the committee
include:
The Rev. w. H. Kendall, the Rev
Sidney B. Harry, the Rev. w. W.

contemplated experiment across
the Pacific.
Tentative plans are to fly the
ship from either Los Angeles or
San Francisco to Honolulu, a
distance Of 2,400 miles, then 1900
miles to the Midway islands, 1900
to Wake island, 1900 to Guam,
1,400 to Manila, and finally $50 to
Hong-Kong.
The total distance Of 8,450 miles,
from either Los Angeles or San
Francisco, President Trippe says,
might be made in three days and
three nights.
Compare that time with a full
three weeks for a liners passage
to China!

Pacific flying is established, the

thirty-two hours by air over a
much longer distance Of about
1890 miles by way of Unalaska,
