New York.-Every small
boy who has ever rubbed a
piece of sealing wax with
cats fur and attracted to it
bits of paper knows that in
the forces of static electricity
lies one means of separating
materials. Small boys, grown
up to become mining engi-
neers, long ago realized that
somehow static electricity
might be used commercially
to separate valuable from
worthless ores.
The idea is old, of course, but it
never has been applied widely and
successfully to large scale separa-
ton of ores as have the magnetic
methods.
The trouble in those early days
was that the sources Of electricity
the old-fashioned Wimshurst ma
chimes and so on-were ineffective.
Later the use of transforms and
mechanical rectiiers of current ar
rived and some improvement came
also. But as H. B. Johnson reports
to the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers, there
has been little development in the
last 10 years despite great ad-
vances in the radio and vacuum
tube art in that decade.
How the Separator Works.
Mr.. johnson has studied the cleo.
tro-static separation Of over 80 diff
ferent elements with a simple and
ingenious apparatus. The mineral
mixture to be separated feeds down
a hopper on to the surface of a
rotating cylinder charged electri-
cally positive. Nearby this cylin-
der is another one charged with
electricity of the opposite sign by
using full-wave high-voltage rec
tifying tube. The voltage created
out of line in their vertical fall
and makes them drop on the other
side of suitable vertical divid-
ing sheet of material. Thus one
component Of the mixture falls on
the one side and the u1attracted
particles on the other.
Mineral granu1es OF the size oh.
tanned in commercial grinding ma.
chimes were used in the tests. One
difficult separation achieved was
the removal Of bituminous coal
dust from anthracite dust. Among
the difficult separations made pos
sib1e were those of separating ga
lena from pyrite, muscovite from
lepidolite Cloth micas), and calcite
from dolomite.

Down in Burkett, Texas-30O in
habitants and no sidewalks-is the
little post office where Kathryn Cra-
vens used to look forward to the big
event Of the week-the arrival of
the newspapers from Dallas and
Fort Worth. She was assistant to
her mother, who was postmistress,
and so the faxen-haired girl had a
chance to look over the news be-
fore the papers went into the mail
boxes. AS she read world happen
ings, she dreamed Of the time when
she too would be a part of that
same great world which seemed re-
mote indeed. Well it might since
Burkett, 300 miles southwest of Dali
las, is II miles from a railroad.
Nevertheless today Kathryn Cra-
vens, tall, blonde, statuesque, has
New York apartment, wears minks
and orchids, has five secretaries to
help her answer her correspond
ence, and when she wishes to 60
anywhere, she flies.
After the death of her father, Miss
Cravens went to live with minister
brother. Having been graduated
from. high school, she entered Ken
dali college, now the University of
Tulsa, and from there, went to the
Horner Institute of Fine Arts in
Kansas City. Next came the Morse
School Of Expression in st. Louis.
Despite her early interest in the
news OF the day, she was attracted
to dramatics. So instead Of seek
ing a newspaper job, she chose the
stage. Eventually, she played op-
posite a childhood idol, Guy Bates
Post, whom she had seen in stock
company in her early years. Then
Hollywood beckoned to her. But
her experience there was only mi
nor roles in silents, so she returned
to st. Louis and concentrated on
radio acting.
One day while listening to Edwin
G. Hill, Miss Cravens decided that
women should have news COM
mentator of their own-and that she
would be that commentator. In
stead of rushing to the nearest sta
ton with her idea, she spent three
months in study and then presented
it to an executive. He wasn't inn
pressed, but she induced him to
take a chance. The result was so
successful her sponsors brought her
to New York to broadcast over a
Columbia national network. Thus
Miss Cravens became the first
coast-to-coast woman commentator.
But she says she got her real start
down in Burkett and is planning to
return there to visit at her first op-
portunity.
Speaking of living-rooms, the one
in the apartment Of Lucille Man
ners contains a piece of yellowed
parchment that is cherished greatly
by the blond singer because it is
linked with the glorious past. In

to study art. On her arrival, she
found position as an artists mod
ell. That led to commercial photog-
raphy and then to fashion work.
From modelling, she went to the
Paradise where she is one of the
highest-paid show girls in the coun-
try. And she hasn't found time as
yet for art studies.

Officials Of Park Department Seeking
 Setting For Green
Chase Park House to Organize Group to Sing Christi mas Carols in Local Hospitals, at Community
 Sing-ElabOrate Program Planned

The selection of an appropriate Christmas tree as the center piece of the greens holiday attire will be made this week by Superintendent James Curtin of the Park depart ment. Weather prevented a visit today to the vicinity of the Wig wam reservoir, a region which has supplied splendid trees in the past. It is expected, however, that the park department will have one chosen, cut and placed on the cen- tral green by early next week. Elm ployes of the Connecticut Light & Power Co. will immediately add the colored lights and the stage will be set for the proper community ob- servance of Christmas.
 Incidentally the park department, leaders of various local musical or ganizations and church societies are cooperating to make the com- ing holiday observance one of the greatest the city has witnessed in years.
 Miss Paulette Wolozin, well known radio soloist has taken the initiative in arousing local interest in a special musical program. Prom inent choir directors have been in- vited to call rehearsals of their re- spective groups in anticipation of a general community sing.
 AS in former years the Chase Park house working with the park department will send 8 group of choristerS to the local hospitals on Christmas eve to sing the familiar carols. They will also take part in the general community sing which the park department is aiding to promote for Waterbury. Superin- tendent Curtin was mapping out plans today for handling 8 large audience on the central green when the community sing takes place.
 It was learned today that the local WPA personnel staff or band will not take part officially in the celebration. It was originally the plan of the WPA authorities to sponsor the general community sing here.

Public Hearing On
 Pleas Of Abatement
City Officials, Press Given Special Invitation to At-
 tend-NO Ordinance On Size of Signs

Applicants for abatements will be given a public hearing Saturday morning, December IT, and Alder man Burton H. Walker, chairman ot the committee, last night urged that all city officials and members ot the press attend "so that they will be intelligently informed and that their criticisms can be voiced then and not several weeks later"
 Alderman Walkers reference was to the attack on the procedure of the committee by Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland, who with his accountant, James P. Purcell, was present at the aldermanic meeting last night and heard Alderman Walkers rebuff of the controller practice of releasing criticism of city matters to the Republican American.
 Many at the meeting sensed the humor of the situation and Alder man Walkers comments on the pro- posed hearing drew laughter from aldermen and observers alike. Size of Signs
 The observers constituted, in most part, delegations of gasoline station operators who expected to be heard on a proposed ordinance change which Alderman Walker is urging for limitation of the size of signs advertising gasoline prices. AT opinion was read at opening of tht meeting from the corporation coun sel in which it was stated tha statute supersedes any ordinanc relating to the matter and, thus an ordinance would be void.
 The hearing, and other hearing on petitions for zoning changes will be held December 29 on motion of Republican Alderman Leade George l.. Kingston.
 Numerous transfers were approved including $8,000 in salaries to carr, truck hire in the sewer departmen
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-06

, to the end of the year, $2,500 for snow removal, as approved by the board of finance.
 But transfer of $4000 in the well fare department for food allowance to care of children in private homes was debated by Alderman Thomas Bane who said that the balance of the appropriation was not enough to last the year if the transfer was made. He spoke as an employe of the controllers office.
 No Transfer
 Democratic Aldermanic Leader Thomas P. Kelly, with Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello con- curing, pointed out to the con- troller's spokesman that the con- troller's function was to check on whether there was enough in the appropriation to allow the transfer, that it was up to the board of welfare to arrange its affairs other wise. The committee voted against the transfer.
 Bond of the city treasurer was subject of recommendation from Griffenhagen & Associates that it be reduced from $40,000 to $5,000 inasmuch as it was pointed out that the city treasurer does not sign checks and handle city money. Sav- ing to the city would be $350 year ly. This was referred to com- mittee after Alderman Kelly had remarked that he believed there might be state stipulation as to re- quirements of the bond.
 Requests of addition of Pine Hill road to Fuller street and Chipman street extension to the coasting streets was referred to a committee comprising Alderman Walker, Peter Griffin and Fenton F. Niver, which will consider recommending to the board that the streets approved for coasting in 1889 be accredited next year.
