as in Europe.
Therefore it has come to be
fact that the Administration most
successful in lobbying through its
program on Capitol Hill is most
successful in everything else.
Hoover began the system of hav-
ing a special White House secre-
tary to act as lobbyist on the Hill.
Roosevelt has continued it. His
personal lobbyist in Charles West,
a brain truster with a difference.
West began to imbibe brain
trust intellectually at the age of
81 when he was appointed Vice
Consul at Naples and attended the
University of Naples on the side.
After that he taught at Harvard,
Denison University and Tufts,
jumping into the rough-and-tum-
BILE of Congress straight from the
clustered life of the campus. For
two terms he made a brilliant rec
ord, his only mistake being to run
for the Senate against that sagaci-
Gus. cigar-chewing former Gov
ernor of Ohio, Honest" Vic
Donahey.
Last winter when Roosevelt be-
gan getting into hot water as a
result of old guard sabotage and
Marvin MacIntye bungling. he
drafted West as his lobbying agent
on Capitol Hill. There he did
such good job that he has been
rewarded with the position of IN
dersecretary of Interior.

1t is pointed out that this is the first time that

IL offer promising source of both aluminium and
potash in one enterprise, according to Prof c. Ross
Robertson of the University of California, Los

The increasing demand for light alloys would
make the production Of magnesium also profitable.
Prof. Robertson thinks
Prof Robertson lists ferro- tungsten, ferro-man-
ganese. calcium. silicon and boron carbides and
electrolytic zinc among the products which could be
turned out in the Boulder Dam region
The Boulder Dam plant is rated at 1000 horse
power. figuring on lowwater conditions and over
100000 horsepower maximum capacity" he says.
"a generating cost in the vicinity of two mills per
kilowatt-hour is estimated.
If this power must be transmitted to the Pacific
Coast the expense will be nearly doubled Oppor-

dustry"
Electrochemistry has developed along two lines
In one the electricity is used directly to bring about
the desired chemical reaction. In the other it is
used merely as the source Of energy to heat elec-

1t was pointed out that if the

perhaps even infantry, as it did on

The ray was developed in signal

Il and government went on:
Throughout the South there is
a steady increasing breakdown in
county governments. So few
taxes have been collected that
county officials no longer get their
salaries.
They have turned to the money
bags of the great relief agencies
to give them jobs, power and dol
lars. In Arkansas alone there is
shortage of more than 100000 in
county funds which are really en-
beZZlementS. Relief here in the
South has been filled with politics
and graft.

company which dominated the

First. I shall relate the following
true story. 1t involves friends of mine
who will remain incognito as Bob
Wright. Lois Arnold and Gregory
Smith.
Lois holds a responsible position in
the advertising department of large
cosmetic distributor. After her mar
riage to Gregory Smith she continued
to be known in the business world by
her maiden name.
The arrangement seemed harmless
enough and certainly proved satisfac-
tory-for a time. Lois had breakfast
with Gregory in their apartment-hotel
suite and enjoyed his company on the
ride downtown. At 9 o'clock, having
shed her mantle of domesticity at the
door Of the Office building, Lois once
more resumed the air of an unat-
tached business girl. Under the spell
of her smiling persuasiveneSS buyers
from all parts of the country placed
larger orders than had been their in

Gregory, on the pay roll of the
same concern, was catalogued as an
other admirer. Which, of course, was

happened along. Bob was big buyer

the days that followed he tried to tell
her so.
But flowers to Lois, Injured to fat

mere words. The thought that Bob's
messages might have deeper meaning
never entered her pretty head.
However, it was destined that Lois
realize to the full his intentions. One
morning she and Gregory had stepped
laughingly from the elevator of the
apartment-hotel and were half across
the lobby when six feet of healthy
