 "Quick!" she said. "We've got to fix up our alibi from the other cnd!"
 For a moment Bob Caise stared at her stupidly. Then he nodded and turned toward the door. Without a word to Millicent, tn sy left the room.
 Millicent waited only q moment. Then she opened the door and stepped into the corridor. She wanted to get out of that room. She didn't know where she was go- ing or what she was going to do when she got there, but she wanted to be free of those stifiing walls. She almost ran down the corri- dor, and was half way down the stairs when she sensed an obstruc- tion ahead Of her. She looked up and saw Norman Happ's broad shoulders. His arms swung wide. Millicent knew, even in that split fraction of second, that she coula have checked her momentum had | it been Bob Caise on the stairs. But she didn't want to check herself. She let herself go forward and Nor- man Happ's arms enve!oped her,

 She lay limp for as long as sho dared, feeling the protecting circle of his arms around her:
 
 When Sergeant Mahoney had placed friendly arm about her shoulders she had felt strangely l relaxed. She had felt like an al, most exhausted swimmer who finds something to which he can cling for temporary rest. But with Nor man Happ she felt this sensation greatly intensified. She wanted to lie in his arms, limp and re faxed, feeling that he would stand between her and the world. Then as she felt the warmth of his personality surrounding her, there was anohter feellng-a strange pulse pounding sensation which glowed within her.
 But it was Millicent who pushed back, laughing slightly.

THE PUZZLING CHARACTER O1 CHRONIC LEAD
 POISONING

In industries where the hazard of lead poisoning Is recognized and the workers regularly observed or tested by the medical department for signs of it, the diagnosis Of lead poisoning IS not as simple as it might seme, because it happens that every normal civilized individ- ual absorbs and excretes daily a wee bit of lead and as individual sensitiveness to the poison prob- ably varies considerably we do not know just where to draw the line between the ordinary daily lead elimination and an excessive amount of lead in the urine.
 In earlier articles we mentioned some of the more frequent signs or symptoms which should arouse suspicion of chronic lead poisoning, but the symptoms are notoriously deceptive and may mimic almost any functional or organic nerve disorder. Pallor, increased blood pressure, premature aging, partial paralysis or unaccountable weaken ing of this or that muscle group, particularly the forearm muscles which when paralyzed give the re- suit commonly called wrist drop" Inexplicable or incorrectly diagnos-

the industrialists turned to that universal
treasure trove, the sea. which contains all
things in solution.
Analysis showed that about seventy
millionths of each drop of sea water is bro
mine But was chemistry able to extract 50
minute fraction at reasonable cost1
The floating laboratory and its prolonged
experiment answered that question. Today
commercial plant for processing bromine
from the Atlantic Ocean is in operation on the
North Carolina coast. It is turning out thou
sands of pounds day. And since each cubic
mile of sea-water contains some 1000 tons
of the element. there is no danger of the
factory ever being short of raw material.
This success suggests another question.
Since the sea contains all the chemical elements
in solution, why not mine other substances
tool Gold, for example, IS selling for $35 an
ounce, whereas bromine is quoted at less than
cents an ounce. Is there any gold in the sea3
Yes, and this North Carolina bromine plant
has actually extracted minute quantities of it.
At the meeting of the American Chemical
Society last year one of the engineers ex-
hibited particles of pure gold and pure silver
which had been taken from the food of At
lantic water sluicing through the bromine
extracto9s.
The sea gold is about 10000 times scaroeT
than the sea hromine, and of course it did not
drop out of the water obligingly. 1t had to be
captured by delicate processes which cost ten
times the present market value of the gold.
But the point is that the thing has been done
and what is done at great effort and ex-
pense today may be accomplished more easily
and cheaply next year. Indeed, the chemist
who attzined this SEA gold predicts that

or making an entirely new one is another -
and these doers of the impossible are versatile
Take glass, for example. The very first
characteristic of glass that occurs to you is its
fragility It has to be handed with care. But
in research laboratory recently saw man
tossing glass lens into the air and letting it
fall on a concrete floor. Indeed, it seemed to
be sort of game to zee how hard he could
drop the glass. Repeatedly the lens fell from
height of ten feet without even chipping.
And this lens was not fabricated of thin
laminated sections like an automobile wind
shield; nor was it reinforced by wires or any
other mechanical aids: it was solid piece of
clear optical glass - tough glass that can be
broken if you insist on it. but your blow must
be thirteen times as great as that required
to break similar lens of ordinary glass.
The chemists make this tough glass by
violating long established rule of factory
practice. The prevailing idea is that after
piece of glass is poured or cast. it must be
cooled slowly. But tough glass gets no such
babying. 1t is plunged from heat of 1900
degrees into bath of oil at 400 degrees and
by that sudden change of temperature the
toughness is impaired. The exterior layer
solidifies before the interior does. and in the
slow contraction of the interior, tensions are
set up which oppose and counterbalance
exterior blows.
Glass suggests building materials - for
glass brick and glass paneling and glass COL
umns are now on the market. and houses with
a wall or a roof of glass have recently been
constructed. The chemists have added to glass
the ability to filter the solar heat rays and
transmit only the rays of light - 50 glass

One Of the detectives of modern chemical
research is cheap method of processing clay
for aluminium. Our present source of supply
for this metal is bauxite ore, the deposits of
which are closely held. But aluminium is one
of the most abundant elements in the earth;
it is found in ordinary clay which is widely
distributed; and the unlocking of that source
will make the metal cheaper than steel. Then
we may expect an enormous extension of its
uses. which already are legion.
Aluminium of itself is relatively soft, but
when alloyed with small proportions of other
metals it becomes as hard as steel. These
alloys. which received their first encourage

on george FTelllcher.
I OOKING ahead to next Monday
night when they break the period
of inactivity now being experienced by
local collegiate basket ball teams,
George Washington's rangy courtmen
today were tossing the ball around in
the H street gymnasium.
With Oglethorpe providing the op-
position next Monday night. the
Colonials have high hopes Of sustain
ing their victorious ways resumed at
Richmond a fortnight ago when they
cracked a 23-game winning streak of
the Spiders.
In fact, George Washington is not
sure but that it has one of its best
teams in years. Although Hal Kiesel,
Ben Goldfadden and Tommy O'Brien
formerly have made the headlines with
their scoring proclivities, it is to George
Freilicher, hitherto an inconspicuous
guard, that Coach Bill Reinhart now
is looking.
Freilicher was the shining light at
Richmond. his cool direction of the
ball-handling in the rear of the fore
court during the second half enabling
the Colonials to control the ball and
slip through the Spiders defense for
easy scores.
The Oglethorpe game will be the
first of three scheduled for George
washington next week. The Colonials
go to North Carolina for a game with
Wake Forest on Wednesday and return
here for a game with Elon on Friday.
