 Answer to Trans

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. "A, P)-Colonel Louis Johnson said 'much surveying" would be re- quired before construction of the International highway to Fair banks. A choice must be made he said, between an alternate route across British Columbia and between Seattle and Fair banks.
 He was non-committal as to whether he favored construction of an army air base at Fairbanks or other sites, and said he will report to President Roosevelt on both projects.
 He further said: Planes are the answer to the transportation problems in Alaska; there are 30 at Fairbanks alone. No greater service could be done the Terri tory than to develop air fields.
 He is enthusiastic over the h. ternational road, saying: some of the Alaskan scenery is more gorgeous than any he saw on his long tour of Switzerland either by air or road many more tourists are sure to go to Alaska in the future, which will mean an economic benefit to the terri tory"

"Fingerprints" of Roads
Show Slippery Surfaces

London.-A "fingerprint" method
reminiscent of Scotland Yard tech
nique has been devised by ministry
of transport officials here to track
down slippery road surfaces.
A section OF the road is linked
over and smooth tire rolled along
it. The tire is then transferred to a
sheet Of white paper, where an ex-
act record of the surface texture is
imprinted.
A perfectly smooth road becomes
dangerously slippery when wet be-
cause the water, instead of being
squeezed into interstices present
when the pavement is Of compare
lively rough texture, forms liquid
film between tire and road.

Dallas, IeXaS.-Amerlca is
now free of dependence on
foreign nations for it's supply
of potash, valuable chemical
widely used by the nations
farmers as an ingredient in
fertilizers.
How a dry lake bed in California
desert, and mine in New Mexico
where men work beneath an over.
laying blanket of water, have made
America's potash industry possible,
was described here at a special
symposium of the American Chem
ical society.
Prior to the World war Germany,
with its great potash deposits at
Stassfrrt, monopolized the worlds
potash trade. These Stassfurt de-
posts, formed in prehistoric times
by evaporation of sea water which
then covered the spot, have an orr
gin comparable with the dry, desert
bounded Searles lake at lorna.
Calf.
BY drilling wells into the dry lake
a strong brine is encountered which
contains over IS per cent dissolved
chemicals, said w. A. Gale, chemist
Of the American Potash and Chem.
ical corporation at Trona.
Triumph of Chemistry.
The brine is rich in the salts of
potassium and sodium and the sep
aration Of the various fractions by
evaporation is one Of the triumphs
Of American chemistry. The prior
work in Germany was Of little use
in developing the present processes.
The Searles lake deposits at Tro.
ma furnished 40 per cent of Amer.
ica's potash needs last year, said
R. w. Mumford of the same com.
pany. AS auxiliary products the
salt brine produces 40 per cent of
the worlds consumption Of borax
and boric acid, together with sub
stantial amounts OF soda ash and
salt cake.
In the California brine wells the
potassium chloride is obtained only
after ingenious evaporation proc
esses. In the. New Mexico deposits,
near Carlsbad, the potassium chic
ride is mined in operations which,
in some ways, are race against
time. The urgency arises because
the potassium deposits lie beneath
layers Of water-bearing sand and
gravel. If that water enters the pot"
ash mine, the operations will be
abandoned because the potassium
chloride is highly soluble in water.
