miles around.
AneSthetics had not yet been discovered. Yet
IN the midst Of this wilderness. without any OF the

up to his time
Here for the first time he did the abdominal OPP

on Dec. ls. 1909 Mrs Crawford. then AZ years

growth in her abdomen had become bruised against
the horn Of the saddle.
The room in the home Of Ephraim Mcdowell was

Beside Dr. Ephraim Mcdowell stood Charles Nc

HOLLYWOOD, June 7.
Black cats don't mean
a thing in John Barrymore's
life. Friday the thirteenth
is just another day to him.
The three-on-a-match SUI
perstition doesn't bother
him in the least. He's even
been known to whistle in
his dressing room.
But when it comes to good old
lucky seven"-that's a different
story. Seven may be a lucky num-
Der for others. But it's poison
for John Barrymore so far as
married life goes.
John seems to be able to stay
married seven years-no more, no
less. No matter what the circum-
stances. how old or how young his
bride, how rich or how famous,
the end seems always to be the
same. Seven years, then the di-
yorce court.
CATHERINE HARRIS, daugh-
~ ter of a wealthy New York
family, succumbed to the lure of
the famous Barrymore profile in
1910. Seven years later she di-
vorced its owner.
Michael Strange. poet and So
ciety beauty, married Barrymore
in 1920. Seven years later divorce
ended that.
Dolores Costello, young actress
sprung from a distinguished stage
family, married Barrymore in
1928. Today, seven years later, she
is suing for divorce.
EVEN the ties of family have
l. not helped Barrymore to
break the seven-year jinx. He had
no children by his first wife. BY
Michael Strange he had a daugh-
ter. Diana, who is now Is years
old.
And when Dolores Costello bore
him two fine babies, everybody
sat back and said AT last an an

ana tantaIum. There is also a fourth member
protoactnum, but this is a radioactive metal and
considerable rarity since the only pure sample in
the world consists of about fftieth of an ounce
at the University of Chicago
Vanadium finds its chief use as an allowing ma
terlal in the making of steel. 1t makes the steel
tough
In high speed steels there is evidently ten
dency to increase the vanadium content" saws the
Minerals Yearbook of the United States Department
of the Interior. About 95 per cent of the vana-
dunn produced is going into steel"
When added to heat-treated steels vanadium
makes them extremely fine grained. Non-netallic
particles dispersed so finely as to be ultra micro
scopc dispersion. AS a result vandium steeIs are
particularly adapted to the making of large castings
and forgings which will have to withstand high
stresses and strains.
T LOCOMOTIVE frames, automobile crankshafts.
IL springs, gears and other parts, various parts
Of airplane engines and Diesel engines are among
the things now being made from vanadium steels.
Vanadium also finds use as a catalyst In the
chemical industry, being used to speed up various
chemical actions including the preparation of vari-
Gus dyes. 1t can also be used instead Of platinum
as catalyst in the manufacture of sulphurc acid.
Tantalum and columbian are both rare elements,
There is less tanalum than gold in the earhs crust
according to the United States Bureau of Mines.
Tantalum has a higher melting point that any
metal with the exception Of tungsten. 1t has been
used 20 extent to replace tungsten in the fila
mens Of ncandescent electric lights but it finds its
chief use today in the manufacture of radio tubes.
The metal is also being used for chemical appara-
tus because it is resistant to corrosion 1t is be-
leved that tantalum can replace platinum for many
uses.
THERE has been some attempt to make tantalum
1 steels, but only few being made. A num-
Der Of other tantalum alloys are also the Market
including tantalum carbide, which finds use as an
ultra-hard cutting-too material.
Columbunl has properties very much like those
of tantalum except that its melting point is lower.
1t is usually found in nature associated with tanta-
lum but is somewhat scarcer than tantalum.
1t has been employed to some extent in the max
ing of tough steels and Of ultra hard cuttingtool
materials.
One of the most interesting developments re-
Gently has been the remarkable effects obtained by
adding columbian to chromium steels and chro-
nium-nickel steels
Here the columbian has the effect Of keeping
these 5tees soft and workable without reducing the
resistance TO corroson 1t is believed that this VIII
open up wider field for these steels.

Legal authorization for this was
granted last year in a bill spon-
sored by Arkansas Senator Joe
Robinson, who hopes some day to
be member of the august tribu-
nal.
The small handsome room oc-
cupied by the Supreme Court for
the last rs years was the original
Senate chamber. The Supreme
Court, for which no provision was
made in original Capitol plans,
occupied stuffy basement room
until 1860, when the Senate and
House wings we're completed.
When the Senate moved into
its larger quarters the court was
transferred to the chamber it
vacated. The columnated cham
Der that had been used by the
House was converted into what is
now known as Statuary Hall.

Twenty-one years ago, Stratton
went to DR.. Frank Smithies suffer-
ing from an acute case of hamilton,
operations were attempted and it
was discovered there were two Stom-
achs. The passage between the
larger one, in STATIONS chest, and
the real one in his abdomen, had
been INSTRUCTED.
All hope for his recovery was
abandoned until DR.. Smithies con-
ceived the revolutionary idea of
passing a silk thread, with an air
pressure ampule on one end, down
through the throat into the stom-
ach.
Gradually by this means the
opening was cleared.
Stratton, now man Of u, loved
to play golf and hunt, but because
he had no money he had to work.
DR.. Smithies arranged for him to
be pensioned from his job and after
that he spent his time travelling
following the horses, the golf ball
and the sunshine.
n
THE only joker about this new
Il freedom was that every six
months it was necessary for him to
go back to DR.. Smithies to have his
StomachS stretched.
The reason he is dying now is that
he forgot about the charge of dyna-
mite he is sitting on and didn't re-
port to DIR. SmithieS for his last APP
pointment.
The physician said he feared for
his patients life because of his adj
vanced age.
For the last two decades Stratton,
living in constant fear of death, has
carried one Of the strangest wills
ever written.
1t reads: II, Seth Stratton, being
of sound mind and being affected
with an unusual disease of the
aesophagus, do hereby bequeath my
stomach and aesophagus to DR..
Frank Smithies in appreciation of
his professional services so that the
true status of my aesophagus may be
observed"

SEVEN 'UNLUCKY' FOR BARRYMORE


the appeal Of Dolores Ethel and
John Jr. couldn't get John Bar
rymore over that seven-year jinx.
It's not any lack of variety.
Barrymores first wife was a nom
professional, a daughter of New
York society who sat back and let
John take all the bows. She was
about his own age, and spent her
time at home duties.
A FTER her marriage to Bar
"A rymore bloke up, she mar
ried Leon Orlowski, secretary to
the Polish legation in Washington,
and was still his wife when she
died in 1927.
His second wife, Michael
Strange blanche May Oelrichs),
though somewhat younger than
Barrymore, had already gained
some reputation as a poet and au-
thor before their marriage. So
they were constantly in the spot
light together. But that didn't
work, either.
When Barrymore married Do
lores Costello she was only 81.
But she was of the stage, as he
was, daughter of Maurice Costello,
who had been as great a screen
lover as Barrymore himself.
Maurice was skeptical. A few
weeks after the marriage he told
me, 1T can't possibly last. Why,
he's 46, old enough to be her
father"
A T the birth of her two chill
n dren and the obvious devo-
ton of both parents to the ba-
bies, many fans felt sure John had
at last reached permanent ancho-
rage. But this is the fatal seventh
year. And again divorce looms.
Among the yachting party which
is with Barrymore at Havana to-
day is Elaine Barrie, 19-year-old
New York girl, with whom Barry
more was seen frequently during
the period of his separation from
Dolores. The actor scoffed at ru-
mors of a new try at marriage,
saying that Miss Barrie was being
coached for radio work with him,
and has great talent. He denied
that he was about to launch into a
fourth effort to break that seven
year jinX.

The NRA became a lopsided pic

Some of the Presidents advisers

the Blue Eagle might have been
less. the Supreme Court decision
might have been different.
They think that with the NRA
