WILLOW CONTAINS
NEW HEAVY WATER
Scientists Say Tree Pro.
duces Rare Atoms-Dis-
covery Held important.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 23.-Dis-
covery that the weeping willows tears
are made of heavy water was an
nounced today in Science.
the good old tree, it appears, has
been doing unbeknownst for millions
of years, the thing which is the lat
est and greatest sensation Of science
producing heavy water.
The willows roots draw in Or
dinary water. In the process of
growing the tree breaks this water
into its hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
In the hydrogen one atom out Of
every 5000 is twice normal weight.
These rare heavy hydrogen atoms
the tree seizes upon by synthesis to
recombine the atoms into water again
its weight more than normal be-
cause the tree has given preference
to the heavy atoms. The discovery
is described by the late Edward w.
Washburn and Edgar r. Smith of
the United States Bureau of Stand
ards.
The chemical discovery of heavy
water recently was described by Lord
Rutherford as possibly the most i'm
portant scientific event of century.
With it an inconceivably vast num-
ber of entirely new chemical prod
uctS can be made. In the text books
alone there are 100000 organic COM
pounds made with hydrogen.
An equal number of new COM
pounds can be made simply by SUBJ
stituting heavy for light hydrogen
in the text book formulae.

CHEVROLET SCHOOLS OF IN
sTRUCTION

In order to instruct Chevrolet's
$4,000 retail statesmen on the ex-
tensive engineering advances in the
1884 models, 600 schools of instruc-
ton are being held this month
throughout the United States.
The schools follow the general
plan of instruction courses given
under the direction of &. W. Timper,
sales promotion manager, and J. M.
Crawford, chief engineer of the
Chevrolet Motor Co., at important
points during the automobile shows.
Some 1000 retail statesmen got first
hand information on the new me-
chanical developments at that time,
and found the instruction so valu-
able as an aid in selling that the
courses have been extended to in
clude the entire sales body.
Preliminary to the opening of the
schools, four men from each Of the
nine Chevrolet regional offices spent
a week in Detroit and Flint. where
Mr.. Crawford instructed them thor
oughly. bringing out the facts about
each new engineering feature and
the significance Of each fact from

That's Wisconsin's contribution to
the good health and good fun of the

this by watchful eye on diet. Fol-

Admittedly these ''fully enclosed" Knee-Action
wheels are more expensive to produce than other
types But Chevrolet feels that the extra satisfac
ton thus assured for Chevrolet owners is well worth
the extra manufacturing cost. And this same at
ttude is responsible for the presence of many other
'ine-car features in the Chevrolet: the large,
roomy Fisher body. The new Y-K frame. The
cable-controled brakes. In eact, everything about
this automobile reflects Chevrolet's well-known
policy to build the most cars, by building the best

DRIVERS LICENSE LAW MUST BE
ENACTED

The Charlotte Junior Chamber OF Com
merce enters the campaign to secure en-
actmemt of a motor car drivers license law
in North Carolina. SIS. N..4a
Few things are so much needed IN North
Carolina as action which will reduce mo-
tor car accidents and deaths resulting from
such accidents. Statistics show that there
has been marked decrease in automobile
accidents in States where drivers license
laws have been enacted. There is reason
to believe that the enactment of a similar
law in this State would improve conditions
on the highways, .... ......
A drivers license law should have sharp
and strong teeth. The reyOking of licenses
for serious infractions of the law should
be made mandatory. That is the only way
to secure rigid enforcement and, at the
same time, fair enforcement of such law.
North Cardinals record for motor car
accidents and deaths is a shameful record
of reckless, drunken, careless driving on
the highways of the State. People who
have absolutely no consideration for the
rights, lives and property of their fellow
men, should not be allowed to sit behind
the steering wheels of motor cars on our
roads. Drivers of motor vehicles should be
compelled to qualify, as to their character
and efficiency, to handle these engines OF
distraction; and after that, if they are
guilty of a serious offense against the law
of the road, they should not be allowed t,
continue as drivers.
The question of enactment of a drivers
license law will come before the next ses
sion of the Legislature. To secure the pass
age of the law public sentiment must be
marshalled IN its favor. Enactment of the
law will be opposed by all who habitually
violate the law of the road and the rules
of safety 1t will find opposition from
others, also. The people who believe that
the present sacrifice of life and property
by deaths and accidents on our highways
is needless and wanton destruction, and
con be prevented, must assert their right
to have laws enacted which will make the
highways reasonably safe for travel.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE PHILOSOPHY OF AMERIcANIsM

The eagle and the oyster are very unlike EaeH
&c the nroduct of his environment, just as each IN
Idiyidual and each civilization are the pfouucIS VI
their material mental and moral environments
The life of the oyster is of very low quality. he
has 60 little life that it is difficult to determine
whether he is dead or alive The eagle, on the other
hand impresses us with his strength his stamina
his agility his great abundance of life Why Is the
eagle so different from the oyster?
When God made the eagle he pitched HIM out
into the cold. hazardous world under the command:
'Take care of yourself, you are free, go where you
please, but you must fight your own battles, and
look out for your own welfare" The eagle obeyed
the command He has never looked to society to
protect him. and has asked for special privileges
This is the reason that he is eagle Ihls IS
the reason that he was selected to sit above the
stars and stripes as the true interpreter OF Ame-
canism. .r. .. ... ..-.,:
But God takes care of the oyster. The oyster
doesn't have to work or struggle. Society provides
for all his wants. The oyster is provided with
strong, comfortable, luxurious home without any
effort whatsoever on his part. He doesn't have to
worry over unemployment, high prices low prices,
over-produetion Everything he needs is beautifully
supplied. He doesn't have to do anything but eat
and rest and sleep and improve his mind This is
the reason he hasn't any mind, this is the reason
that ne is more dead than alive, this is the reason
he is an oyster. g. ..... .... ...... ,..
If would be an eagle he must pay the price
The man OF woman who has the oyster ideal and
lives the life of the oyster can never be anything
but oyster.

and the nation. This philosophy is never popular
