BY DAVID DIETZ-

CHEMISTS expect many important discoveries OF
~ great Importance to industry. agriculture and
medicine the future in the field of colloid
chemistry. This is one of the newest fields OF
Investigation and consequently one in which there
yet more to be discovered than is known.
The collod is a sort of "in-between" state Of
matter defying exact attempts at classification To
understand colloids must first get in mind the,
ordinary behavior of matter.
Let us suppose that we have dropped handful
of fine sand into tumber of water. After short
time, the grains of sand all settle to the bottom
The sand is nsoluble in water.
On the other hand, let us suppose that put
some table salt in the tumber of water The salt
disappears entirely from view We say that has
dissolved in the water. What has happened is that
the crystals of salt have broken down and the
individual molecules of salt now scattered about
among the molecules of the water. In addition,
many of the molecules of salt have further broken
up into electrified atoms known as ions.
Between the phenomenon represented by the
nSolubilty of the sand and that represented by the
soubility of the salt is the in-between" realm of
the colloid.
TN the colloid, the substance involved is neither
l. dissolved in the liquid nor is it preciptated or
thrown down to the bottom. Instead, it remains
scattered through the liquid in particles of various
sizes. The condition is described technically by
saying that the particles are held in suspension.
Some collodal solutions appear to the eye to be
true solutions. number of tests, however will
reveal the difference. For example, when a beam of
light is passed through coloidal solution the light
is scattered in all directions by the colloidaI
particles:
An examination of colloidal solutions with high
powered microscopes has revealed that the collodaI
particles are not at rest but in continual motion
These vibratory motions, known as Brownian
movements, because a botanist by the name Of
Robert Brown first noticed them are the result of
commandment of the collodal particles by the mole
cules of the liquid in which they are suspended It
is now thought that it is this molecular lombard
ment which keeps the particles in suspension.
1t is interesting to note that Professor Albert
Elnstein, in 1905, worked out the mathematical
proofs OF the Brownian movements.
A PARTICULARLY important and interestinm
L n type of colloidal solution is known as an
emulsion. 1t consists of two liquids and third
substance known the emusifying agent.
Let lis suppose that some olive oil is mixed with
q glass of water. If allowed to stand little while
the oil separates from the water and floats on top
of it.
But if a little soap is added to the mixture the
olive oil remains suspended through the water in
tiny coloidal drops. The reason is that the mole
cules of soap have formed little protective coatngs
around the dropets of oil Because of these coatngs
the droplets can not unite and coalesce Conse-
quently the oil remains suspended in the water and
a eollc. ! is formed.

has adamantly insisted through
out the lengthy negotiations. This
is achieved through the simple
device of emitting any time limit
when the Is per cent remonetiza-
ton is to be accomplished.
Once the bill is enacted, the
President could do it at one
stroke, or gradually, or not at all.
In his private conversations
with the siiverites, the President
assured them that he would "en-
thusiastically"-his own word
proceed with a gradual remoneti-
cation up to the Is per cent limit.
Secretary Morgenthau, at heart
hostile to the silver agitation, told
the senate crusaders that he was
under strict injunction from the
President to go through with the
bargain.
It was these personal assurances,
accepted in full faith by the sill
verites, that brought them around
to agree to the non-mandatory
compromise.
1t is not such a bad deal all the
way around.
The silverites gain their end of
writing into the law the principle
of bi-metalism. They can now go
proudly to their constituents and
claim a great victory.
On the other hand, the Presi-
dent retains firm hold on the
monetary helm. He is free to go
forward, stop, or reverse, as he
deems desirable.

THERE are many conflicting
Il stories about whether the
Trans-S Siberian Railway is double
tracked. I am able to give the
facts.
From Moscow to Omsk, the
lines are single; but between these
points there are at minimum
two, and in some places five, OPP
tional routes which could be taken
in case of interruption of traffic.
From Omsk to Chita, the
Trans-Siberian is double-tracked
even through the thirty nine
, tunnels and over the fifty or so
small bridges around Baikal.
But the larger bridges, over the
Irkut, the Yenisei, and the Oh,
have not yet been doubled. Some,
however, are under construction.

He Couldn't Get In

A BOTTLE of wine, without the walters tip, if
L n served in any of the polite New York restaur-
ants, would cost much he could make by two
weeks work in the field from the moment when
there is light enough for him to until it is too
dark for him to any longer. 1t is only theory,
of course that he could get into polite eating
house in the first place. He likely would be in need
of bathing and shaving. there would be soil his
shoes, overalls and hands, and he would like not,
be mounting a poultice of sucking tobacco.
Seeing him come through the outer door, the
head waiter would put up the red plush rope and
tell him they full. Moreover he would have to
60 back to the plantation and work at least one
day for the tip
1t takes no habitual pub-crawler in New York to
know these costs and to reflect, visiting the farm
country that round of ffteen-minute cocktails for
table of four not forgetting the waiter this time,
either, would represent not change but serious
money to many more important citizen whose mis-
take it to have chosen hard work for his way
of life
There is something very impressive to from
the cities about the walking the rows behind a
mule way off in field. There neither is running
water nor electric light in his cabin he never has
tasted stuffed celery a dry Martini he has had to
hoe his own garden patch for food after his regular
working hours, and it is to be hoped that he never
will get mad at the world for holding out on him.

cities social lines are complex and difficult OF solu

Philadelphia have been compelled to compile blue
books and other devices lest the unwary should be
unable to divide the sheep from the goats.
In Bethlehem such things are solved in much
more simple manner. The status of citizen de-

The Boom in Bethlehem

TINE town of Bethlehem was almost part of the
i western front, and when harrage laid
in Flanders to protect the attack of advancing
troops almost upon that instant the towers of
Bethlehem belched smoke and fire and another re-
cruit added to those who had gained their OBJ
jectiveS on Bonus Hill.
Upon those fair lawns which include Lehigh COL
lege in their sweep there could be detected
any of shrapnel and the trees met each
in the appointed way with never blight of scare
crow stumps And yet in a very vital way men
crawled upon their bellies up the slopes of Bonus
Hill as if it were Messines or Vimy Ridge
No crosses mark the spot where thousands fell
and a new order was cabled across the water for
still shells. But if the accusing dead march in
serr1ed ranks upon dark and windy nights the sound
of their feet must be heard upon the pleasant
thoroughfares of Bonus Hill.

Hard Story to Sell

A THOUGH the liquor story out of the big city
L "A or some spending place along the Florida coast
contains elements which must be of interest to the
man in the field, provided he has the education and
the light after dark to read them the story of his
existence is less easy to sell to the urban citizen

hard that the very reading of it would make the
muscles ache for days and of monotony which just
goes on and on to the end. The six-bit laborer is
tragic mistake and why punish ones self thinking

There are sections of this country in which repeal
can make no personal difference to the people living
there because they can't possibly lay up enough money
out of their earnings to pay even the taxes let
alone the purchase price of liquor, though there
were official stores at every crossroad.
Still it should interest them in strange way to
know that there are other sections of the same
land in which the citizens Sunday clothes every
day and work at sitting down tasks in Offices for a
scale of pay which enables them to buy liquor for
SIS more a bottle and drinks for four bits EACH

ness statistics"
There can be no doubt that for
some weeks We have had a
marked divergence between the
actual facts as to recovery and
the way business men feel and
think about them.
Thus for six months the country
has had a sustained advance in
production, from an index of
seventy-two in November to eighty
five in April. This is almost as
great and as fast a recovery as
the country enjoyed between 1921
and 1922, when it came out of the
first postwar collapse into an era
of great prosperity.
Yet since February, while this
truly amazing recovery in bust
ness, in employment, and in profits
has been taking place, the prices
of stocks, which reflect hopes and
fears, have been declining, and in
financial circles and among bust
ness men there has been a grow
ing pessimism. They are obviously
better off than they were, but they
feel worse about it.
Therefore it is interesting to con-
slider what are the probable causes
of the contradiction between
mems feelings on the one hand
and the cold figures on the other.
Such an analysis must be a
matter of personal judgment, for,
of course, it is impossible to prove
conclusively why masses of men
are in certain mood. But the
attempt may be of some use.
TT is possible, it seems to me, to
l. distinguish between relatively
superficial causes of the bearish
sentiment and a much more sub
stantial one. Thus it is evident
that business sentiment has been
powerfully influenced since Feb
ruary by the impending bill to
regulate the stock market.
Ever since that bill was brought
forward the brokerage houses
throughout the country have been
exuding pessimism, and there are
few American business men who
are not acutely sensitive to the
stock ticker.
For the short run, at least, bust
ness enterprises in America tend
to follow the ticker instead of the
ticker's following the course of
business.
For nearly four months the
stock markets have been fighting
regulation. which in it's first form
was clearly destructive. and in it's
present amended form is certainly
severe. That this fight has re-
f1ected itself in business senti-
ment is hardly open to doubt, and
it has almost certainly been the
most Immediately active cause of
the psychological depression.
But it is not, I believe, the deep
est or the most important cause.
That is to say, assuming that
congress finally enacts a workable
bill, and assuming that the stock
markets settle down under it to do
the best they can, there will still
remain the deeper causes of dis
quiet.
They rise, it seems to me,
from the conviction that the re-
covery since November has been
dependent upon the artificial
stimulation of government expen-
ditures, and that the recovery will
not be dependable until it is evil
dent that private investment will
take the place of government
spending.

ATOW it is impossible to deny
IN that the governments expen-
ditures have been a great factor in
the recovery since November. It
