Several residents of the section
ran into the street in night cloth

Chicagoans, specializing for
months over the best manner of
tearing down the 81 100000 towers,
had no warning of the wrecking

cided on private show" for
Safety's sake, fearing spectators
might break through police lines
and overrun the 1500-foot danger
zone.
The first blast, echoing over the
lake, ripped loose the guy wires.
The green tower shuddered. After
the next charge the tower sWayed
to the east and began falling slow
ly, cutting an unbroken arc. Sixty
feet out from its natural position
it was caught by the pull of
gravity and the lower elevator
shaft of plate steel broke away.
Whipping cables dashed in all
directions. One struck the south
rampant of Soldier Field, biting
out a large chunk Of concrete.
The tower top, landing within
three feet of the spot fixed by en-
gineers, ripped through an asphalt
pavement and buried itself in
three feet of earth in the middle
court of the Hall of Fame.

The roar of thunderclap
rumbled across the nearby loop.
Higher than the Washington
Monument and claimed as the
tallest structure west of the At
lantic Seaboard, the 628-foot
tower was bowled over by two
mighty dynamite blasts. Wrecking
crews worked throughout the
night, under the suffering flare
of acetylene torches, loosening its
ground supports.
TWo-inch cables of braided steel
dashed about with the whine of
artillery shells after swapping I'M

few moments later the top of the
tower, falling at 100 feet a second,
struck the ground.
A hail of rivetS, twisted lengths

scattered over the quarter mile
danger zone, guarded by squads of
police.
Police headquarters received
scores of calls from excited resi-
dent sections near the loop. Many

more than 81 600 a man year. The

TINE world uses about a million pounds of bis
L muth year, about 30 per cent of which goes
into medical and pharmaceutical preparations. The
other 20 per cent finds its in industry because
of two interesting properties Of this metal
One is its ability to lower the melting point OF
allows to which it is added. The other is that it
causes alloys to expand upon qualification, thus I'M
proving their characteristics for casting purposes
Cadmium also possesses these two interesting
properties Just what causes them is not yet fully
known but it has been suggested that distortion OF
the patterns or lattices in which the atoms OF the
allows arrange themselves is responsible for them
Bismuth itself melts at a temperature Of 273
degrees centigrade. Many alloys Of bismuth nave
melting point below 100 degrees, centrigrade. This
temperature, it will be recalled IS the boiling point
of water.
CTRANGELY enough certain so-caed inter-
- metallic compounds of bismuth have extremely
high melting points. Thus, for example, the COM
pound Of bismuth and sodium has melting point
of 100 degrees centrgrade, whereas the compound
of bismuth and cerium melts at 1880 degrees cenr-
grade This last temperature is higher than the
temperature at which pure bismuth turns from
liquid to a vspor.
below IS degrees centrigrade, are known as Woods
metal. Most of them composed of four metals.
bismuth, lead, tin and cadmium
The lowest melting point obtained by this quar-
tet is 10 degrees centigrade obtained by mixture
which consists of 495 per cent bismuth 2727 per
cent lead, 1913 per cent tin and 1910 per cent
cadmium.
A lower melting point be obtained however,
by the addition of fifth constituent namely, mer-
curry 1t is possible to obtain alloys which melt at
ordinary room temperatures.
WOODS metal and other fusible alloys are used
w today for soldering operations where high tenn
peraures would injure the materials being soldered
They are also used to make water-tight and
vacuum-tight joints between glass and metal or por-
celan and metal.
In laboratories, Woods metal is frequently used
for mounting for specimens which are to undergo
various tests 1t is particularly useful in mounting
specimens of irregular shape
Among the other strange properties of bismuth
are the following:
Bisr1uth and anthony the only two metals
whose electrical resistance is greater in the solid
state than in the liquid state The thermal conduc-
tivity Of bismuth is lower than that Of any other
metal except mercury The electrical resistance Of
bismuth is increased by exposure to magnetic field.

Il expected the s4,000,O00,000 to
put 100000 men to work for

BY and large, the man-year
can't cost more than $1,000, if the
President spends the money as he
wants it spent.
If that is true, no one but people
on relief must be employed.
Large and complicated projects
require the services of artisans and
architects and people not on re-
lief. They're out!
Small projects use inexpensive
materials. need common labor.
They're in!
Unemployed can't be moved to
any centrally located project with

should be used for wages!
Thus the projects must be
homely, and spread all over the
state.

He Won the Bet

r Under these conditions it is entirely possible ana
- certainly not improbable that the man who held
a gun at the heads of two women in a peaceful
household and kidnapped one of them, with an eX-
pressed intention to kill her if she weren't bought
loose will be turned out of Jefferson City at some
future time to do again. Moreover, the reduc-
ton of the sentence an assurance to tie other
kidnapers. such as those who snatched the Weyer-
haeuser boy in Tacoma that even if they are caught
with the goods convicted and sentenced to death So
ciety was only fooing, after all.
Good old society running bluff, like

products of Brazil but doesn't mean 1t and couldn
get away with it, anyway. MCGEE knew kidnapping
was a capital crime on the books, but he bet that
Missouri wasn't game and won his bet.
Well as against the way that justice worked IN
that case and is likely to work in the case OF Bruno
