This characteristic of magnesium powder. wire

others Is magnesium.
THERE are three other main uses for magnesium.
Its second important is in organic synthesis,
that Is in the manufacture Of organic chemical COM

with the aid OF magnesium
The third important use is as deoxidant in
metallurgy. that is. a means Of removing oxygen
from molten metals
The fourth use OF magnesium is as a structural
metal This Is almost always IN the form Of alloy
The most important alloy IS known as Dowmetal.
The weight OF these alloys makes them the lighteSt
known structural metals available for engineering
purposes. Aluminium is 16 times as heavy an
equal volume OF DOwmetal while steel is "A times
S heavy.
All the important developments in magnesium
have come since the World War. Researches upon
magnesium were begun by the research department
Of the Dow Chemical Co IN 1914. Among the pio-

there isn't and the worst one in the country has
been made more dangerous to Mr.. RooSevelt's sub
jects 1t will be pointed out that the White House
does not occupy the entire which has recently
been placed out of bounds but that fact only makes
it worse. The rest of the territory included
merely so that the order would not seem to dscrmi-
nate in favor of the President and thus have the
sound of a royal decree. From the standpoint of
the pilots however and of the passengers locked in
the big, tin tubes with them, it would have been
kinder if the order had frankly forbidden flying
over the palace and just let it go at that.

Controller General j. P. Nc
Carl.
The Navy head spoke not only
for himself. When he sounded
off, he did so for and with the
consent of the White House.
Furthermore, other department
chiefs can be expected to thumb
their nose at the Republican ap-
pointee should he give them the
occasion to do so.
The Administration has de-
clared war on Mr.. McCarl. The
inner circle has been smarting for
months under Mr.. McCarls con-
tinual thwarting Of New Deal pro-
jects by ruling their expenditures
unlawful.
In an effort to see what could
be done about fighting back, legal
sharpshooterS we're set to check
ing over his powers and preroga-
tives. The secret report they sub
mitted to the President advised:
That while the law creating
the office of Controller General
states specifically that the incum-
bent can not be removed during
his 15-year term, the Supreme
Court in a subsequent decision
(the Myers case) held the Presi-
dent has the power to dismiss any
appointive official.
That while Mr. McCarl has the
power to rule against govern
ment expenditure he is without
the means Of enforcing his hold
ings as he can only take legal
action through the Justice De-
partment. Hence, if the Attor-
ney-General disagrees with him
and refuses to act, there is moth
ing Mr.. McCarl can do about the
matter"
THIS is exactly what happened
in the Swanson McCarl
squabble.
Mr.. McCarl held against an
item of expenditure, whereupon
Mr.. Swanson obtained a contrary
opinion from Attorney-General
Homer S. Cummings and refused
to abide by Mr.. McCarls decision.
And there is nothing the latter
can do about it as the only way
the money can be recovered is for
Mr.. Cummings to prosecute-a
course he obviously will not pur-
sue.

IN other words, if the proposed
special taxes would raise only
enough to finance a 500 a month
pension, that is all that would be
paid.
Reason for the significant
change is failure of the original
plan to make any real progress
on Capitol Hill.
Despite the hundreds of bags Of
mail that have rained down on
Washington, the tremendous per-
sonal pressure brought on men,
bers of Congress from the folks
back home, DR.. Townsend and his
corps of zealots simply have not
been getting anywhere.
His bill was ridiculed and bat
tered in committee, and he per-
sonally was Inundated. In the
hope that by making concessions
enough support can be rallied to
get the essentials Of his plan &C
cepted by Congress, DR.. Townsend
has resorted to the strategy OF Of
fering compromises.

Campus Day Cup

Harry Carolus), her sincere boy
friend, brought before her episodes
of the lives Of all great lovers
from Adam and Eve to Charles
and Anne Lindbergh. Such exam
pies of true love and happiness were
exempli6ed in these episodes that
Jolly took Jim by the hand and
put together the pieces of his torn
valentine.
Royalty flooded the campus as
the sophomores played kings and
queens for the day. The girls look
ed stately in white robes and purple
crowns, while the boys looked
handsome and digni6ed in purple
robes and white crowns. An enorm-
Gus purple throne contained seats
for the whole class while the songs
were being sung. In the evening
the royal household moved to the
auditorium, where good Queen
Bess and her suitors came to life.
1t appeared that Bess had decided
to marry, but couldn't make up
her mind whether Sir Francis Drake
or Sir Walter Raleigh would be the
lucky man. After each had pied
his case, Queen |Bess sent them
both away for two years while she
made up her mind. When the time
was up, Sir Francis thought he de-
served the Queens hand because he
had just defeated the Spanish Ar
mazda. Sir Walter, on the other
hand, told Bess of the wealth he
had amassed by growing tobacco
in America. Bess, ever mercenary,
chose Raleigh.
"Alice in Wonderland" was the
theme chosen by the freshman
class. Their costumes in the parade
were based upon Lewis Carols
fantasy. Numerous characters that
Alice met in Wonderland. such as
the Mad Halter, the March Hare,
the Duchess, the Mock Turtle, the
White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, the
King and Queen of Hearts and the
cards, were introduced to the spec
tators. In front of the gym the
freshmen had a tea table which
corresponded to the mad tea party
of Carols imagination. The fresh
nan skit was we'll presented. A
white rabbit, bearing a trumpet,
introduced the skit and the charac-
tiers to the audience in a short pro-
logue. The freshmen originated the

Pageant To Be Given
For Methodist
Conference
Will Be First Blue
Masque Project
Program Commentaries
Translation of Printed
English Bible
From The Pioneer

On October rs the Blue Masque
will present its first project of the
year in the form of a Biblical pa
geant for the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church of Salisbury.
This pageant, the largest outside
project eve attempted by the Thes-
plans, will be given in the auditor
ium Of the Boyden High School at
eight o'clock. 1t will be presented
in honor of the ministers and lay
men of the Western Carolina Con-
ference. The conference, to be held
in Salisbury on October "a and Is,
is a part of the nationwide COM
memoration of the four hundredth
anniversary of the translation of
the printed English Bible.
The pageant-drama, THE Pow
er Of the Word", by Eliot Field, is
a pageant in living characters
which is climaxed by a two-act
play, Fine Gold" The pageant
consists of five episodes and depicts
in chronological order the growth
and power of the Holy Bible. The
first episode, a Bible for the people,
takes place in London, England, in
1885. The second episode is the
charter of liberty and takes place
aboard the MayAower in 1870. The
tinker of Bedford Prison, which oc-
ours in Bedford, England, in 1876,
is the third episode. This episode
concerns John Bunyan, who wrote
'Pilgrim's Progress" The fourth
episode, the foundations of the
mind, takes place in Philadelphia in
1890. University of the soul, the
fifth episode, gives the allegorical
impression of the effect of the BIZ
bic on every phase of living. A
locutor, played by Prof. Dearborn,
introduces each episode.
The first episode is being directed
by Dorothy Hopper; the second,
by Edgar Barr; the third, by Paul
Strauch; the fourth, by Albert
Shenberger; the fifth, by Herbert
Stoolman. William Gerhardt is re-
sponsible for the postlude, while
Christopher Moss is staging the play
Fine Gold" The entire pageant
is in charge of Wilson Cheek. The
vesper choir, under the direction of
Mrs. D. E. Faust, will render ap-
propriate hymns throughout the
episodes.
Others who are helping to make
the pageant possible are Paul
Strauch, stage manager; Joe An
drew and Everett Lynch, electri-
clans; Charlotte Ewes, costume mis-
tress; Ann Clippinger, makeup
mistress. Miss Olive Newell, of the
