a PIECE Of the ocean one mile square and 81 feet
L n deep would be worth s50OO0OO0 if you could
get all the minerals which in 1t out of it. That
Is the estimate OF the experts of the Ethyl-Dow
Chemical Co. which operates plant for extracting
bromine from sea water at Kure Beach, N. C.

water pumped through the towers of the brom-
ine-extrsctng plant at Kure Beach last year.
In addition to the bromine which was extracted.
experts of the company calculate that the water
contained the following
Seven hundred fifty thousand tons of common
salt
Four hundred fifty thousand tons of EPSON salts.
This the equivalent OF eight pounds for per-
son IN the United States.
Ninety million pounds Of magnesium, enough for
the construction Of 10000 sirplsnes
One four-inch cube Of gold. worth about $4,000
under the New Deal.
Eighty tons of Strontium.
Eight and one half tons Of copper.
Three and one half tons Of iodine.
Eighty tons Of calcium chloride.
Enough potassium 10 make 100000 tons Of fer
tilizer.
THE foregoing list represents only the principal
Il ingredients Of water. AS a matter of fact.
every chemical element existence Is to be found
IN water. though IN extremely minute amounts.
II has been predicted that gold. silver and other
precious metals would be removed from sea water
within the next decade. Thomas Mdgley. vice
president OF the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation. est-
mates that the gold content Of the ocean amounts
TO SIS 100000 per cubic mile.
The successful extraction Of bromine from sea
water represents the first step IN mans dream of
tapping the mineral reserves Of the ocean. The
brouine recovered goes into the making of ethyl
gasoline and is estimated that 20 per cent OF the
broniine used today in the treatment Of gasoline
comes out Of the ocean.

Whereupon the Supreme Court

ger.
The courts decision also paved
the way for a major reelection
campaign issue. This opportunity
Roosevelt is exploiting to the ut
most in his plan to continue the
NRA in skeleton form.
Had he abandoned the Blue
Eagle entirely. as some of his ad-
visers counseled. ii could and
would have been construed as an
acknowledgment of error and de-
feat.
ON the other hand. had he fol-
" lowed the course urged by
other members of the official fam
lily and attempted TO circumvent
the Court with a new NRA. he
would have found himself with
Pandora's box of tribulations.
First. there was the extremely
difficult problem Of recreating an
NRA with punch. Secc :. there
is much doubt whether such an
NRA could have been put through
Tire Senate. Certainly such an at
tempt would have precipitated a
fierce battle.
Finally. had this plan been put
through Congress there was the
great danger that it might have
proven Intellectual. thus supplying
Republican SharpShooters with
damaging ammunition.

tanning the form of the NRA. the
President has put himself in a
strategic position 10 take advan-
tage Of whatever the next twelve
months may develop.
If there is a full-tide business
upturn. Roosevelt. regardless Of
what the opposition may say, will
be given the credit.
Should things go badly. however,
the President can throw the blame
on the Supreme Court. He can
point to the fact that he did the
best he could by dusifully restrict

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

TWO couples went out into a nearby woods and
l. picked large quantity of mushrooms. Into the
pan in which these fungi were cooked quarter was
dropped in the belief that any poisonous mushrooms
would be revealed if the silver coin became furnished
The quarter did not tarnsh so that night the
four sat down and had hearty meal Of the
dehcacies
Az 2, in the morning one of the women awoke
with a severe abdominal pain, associated with
nausea, vomiting, dizziness and prostration. At q,
her husband suspected that the mushrooms might
have been poisonous he took large dose of salts.

Later the other couple felt the same symptoms. For
SO hours all four exceedingly sick, developing
severe jaundce Finally two died
VX7HEN their bodies were examined, the livers and
w kidneys were found to badly damaged Even
the nervous system and the brain showed signs Of
severe damage.
This incident should bring home to you two i'm
portant lessons:
To be sure that mushrooms are not poisonous,
buy them from an experienced dealer who can take
the responsibility.
If you TO happen to feel any symptoms Of mush-
room poisoning, as have described, above, call
doctor Immediately because prompt action means
the difference between life and death.
Mushrooms have been eaten by human beings
far back history can record The ancient
Babylonans used to enjoy them and the early
Romans sold them as delicacies.
DUT also far back in ancient Greek history, there
ID is the record of the wife of the famous Greek
poet, Euripides their two sons and daughter. who
died after eating mushrooms And there seems to
be evidence that the Roman emperors, who wanted
get rid of certain friends or enemies did not hest
tate to administer mushroom poison.
There are more than 30 species Of poisonous
mushrooms in this country the most deadly type
being the Amantita phaloides 1t is responsible for
more than 80 per cent of the deaths from mushroom
poisoning
And there are almost as many tests for poisonous
mushrooms Most are unreliable. The I have
recalled shows that the silver test, one Of the
most popular in use, can't be depended upon.

HERE COMES THAT SHOWBOAT!
It's Work Before PLav ON Majestic But There Fun Galore
BY BERTHA WELLMAN

NEA Service Special Correspondent
THE first day on board
Capt. 7. J. Reynolds
Showboat Majestic starts at
6 o'clock when Anna, the
cook, gets up to build a fire
in the stove and make
breakfast. Pretty soon the
breakfast bell rings and
people come into the dining
room looking sleepy.
But how are you to get all these
people straight, and all the
names? Not so hard; they seem
to be divided into two camps. If
some ones name isn't Reynolds,
then it's Kirk. The ReynOldses
run the boat. the Kinks run he
show.
There are Capt. Reynolds, Mrs.
REYNOLDS, Tommy, the captains
son: Katherine, his daughter;
Bud. his nephew. and four smaller
children. Midgie, Ruth and Jack,
and Johnnie.
The other division, first battal-
ion. Company d, is headed by De-
Witt Kirk, director of the play,
orchestra leader and one of the
best calliope players in the coun-
try. With him are Kitty his
wife; Oracle, his daughter;
George and Eddie, his two sons,
and Myrtle. his cousin.
In fact, there are only three
persons on board not related to
one of the two families. They are
Fenner and Hap Moore. actors,
and Anna Davis, who has done
the cooking on the Majestic for
three years and has known the
Reynoldses longer than that.
EENNER and George are half
Il way through their breakfast,
and Oracle must have been the
last one in because all the plates
of food and the butter and the
can of milk are in a circle around
her place at the table. The next
person to come In will change
that. Hap comes in shivering-it
is so cold he didn't even stop to
comb his hair, which stands on
end and droops over one eye.
There's a pile of coats on his
chair.
Whats this, what's this?" he
says, glowering as he moves them
to another corner of the room.
We have pancakes this morning,
pancakes and coffee and oatmeal
if YOU want it.
It's fun sitting around the table
talking when everybody gets
through eating. everybody except
Tommy, the captains son. He's
hungry. and Anna is still bringing
in piles of yellow pancakes and
syrup.
Ed says he wishes it would
warm up so We could 60 swimming.
Everybody is talking about who
slept with the most clothing on.
George wins the skillet by telling
that he wore two pairs of pants,
pair of pajamas, three sweaters,
a hat and a pair of gloves.

- since it still rains what is
there to do? Well. you can stand
