Tall alert genuine Norwegian.
many sons and daughters of old
Norway have found an opportunity
to contribute to the making of
America, and where the fundamen-
tai outlook on life is based on the
same high principles of democracy
as in Norway.
Student of international Affairs.
So it may be said the middlewest
will take the prince and princess to
its heart-and it to them.
The prince comes then, as royal
democrat, young man of 35 who,
in the best sense, is representative
of peace-loving, progressive Nor
way. Tall and handsome, strongly
built and alert, he is in every re-
spect a genuine Norwegian, fond of
sports and fun but also seriously in
terested in the national, and inter
national problems confronting the
world.
Crown Prince O1av was born in
Sandringham, England, July 2,
1908. His father, Prince Carl of
Denmark, was married to Princess
Maud of England, a daughter of
King Edward VII. When Prince
Olav was two years old his father
was elected King of Norway, and
when the royal family came to Nor
way Crown Prince Olav soon be-
came the idol of the people.
The years have only strengthened
the affection.
The young prince went to school
and college in Norway and also re-
ceived a military education at the
military academy where, at his own
request, he took the same training
as the other young men-the camp
ing and long tiresome marches. His
rank is now that of colonel.
He was popular with his fellow
officers. He also became a prof.
cient skier and yachtsman, winning
many prizes in open competition.
Prince Has Acted as Regent.
Since attaining his majority, the
prince has frequently acted as
regent in the absence of the king,
as for instance during the last and
fatal illness of the queen. King
Haakon attends punctiliously to his
duties of representation, and the
crown prince is generally at his
fathers side on these occasions.
The marriage of the Crown Prince
Olav to his cousin, Princess Martha
of Sweden, the daughter of Prince
Carl was felt in Norway to be the

Ethium, Lighter Than Aluminium, Found in South

Millions of tons of a hitherto rare
mineral which contains the ightest
metal known-so light that it will
float on water and is five times
lighter than aluminum-have been
located in North Carolina. The min
eral is known as spodumene and
from this is produced ithium, the
feather-weight metal, with soft sill
very-white color. 1t is used as an
alloy to harden such metals as alu-
minum and lead and in the manu-
facture of lithium chloride salt, now
being extensively used in certain
types of air conditioning equipment.
Lithium is also in demand for use IN
some types of storage batteries.
Until this tremendous deposit of
spodumene was discovered in North
Carolina in 1886 by Frank Hess, ge-
ologist with the U. S. bureau of
mines, virtually the only other
known deposits were in the Black
Hills of North and South Dakota
and these deposits were very linn
tied, according to Herman ]. Bry-
son, North Carolina state geologist
and chief of the mineral resources

came swiftly toward them, with
something in his hand. He extend
ed it triumphantly. There, look
at that!" he cried.
Tope saw what it was: large
fuse of the sort used in electric cir
cults designed to carry consider
able current. 1t was cylinder
some three inches long, with brass
or copper ends, of heavy waxed
cardboard composition.
At one place this tough compost
ton, harder than wood, had been

metal conveyer within was exposed.

though it had lain in water.
And Chief Mason cried trl-
umphantly: "There you are! That's
how it was DONE"
Tope turned the thing in his hand.
"Just how do you mean?" he asked.
And the Chief explained:
Someone turned on the gas in
the cellar, let it run for a while |;
then he short-circuited the light
wires, somehow, and blew this fuse.
The flash would set off the gas. "
And he added: SIT was a piece of
luck we got this. The explosion
must have blown it off the wall,

three small girl-friends of their own
age.
1t was originally intended that
Princess Ragnhild, being the eldest,
should start her education first. But
Astrid, two years younger, pleaded
to join her sister in classes. So this
was allowed.
Follow Work-Day Schedule.
Every morning car from
Skaugum goes to Oslo and brings
back the tutor. Upon her arrival
the three Oslo girls and the prin-
cesses troop into room especially
equipped for this purpose.
Prince Harald, lusty lad, spends
most of his time in a nursery up
stairs that has a balcony facing the
ford; here he takes his afternoon
nap.
The royal couple follow strictly
work-day schedule; every forenoon
at II o'clock they arrive at the royal
palace in Oslo where the prince goes
to his office and the princess goes
about her own activities.
When the storting (congress) is in
session, he conscientiously keeps
himself informed on current legisla-
ton. On Fridays he attends the ses-
sions of the cabinet with the king.
Audiences to visitors are granted
without formality by both the crown
prince and princess.
Skaugum, as it lies in the sloping
hills, is a typical part of Norway
today. Concrete and fieldstone and
wood in gay colors, fruits and ber-
ries and flowers, all kinds of vege-
tables, vitamin-rich milk and mod
ern machinery in sheds and fields.
A piece of streamlined Norway it
is, with its foundations in the age
old soul of one of the worlds
staunchest democracies and peopled
by real human beings. Refreshing
ly devoid of formality, and still dig
nified, sincere and fun-loving.

like feldspar, but occurs in other
shades, usually grayish-green or
greenish-white with pearly lustre
and vitreous cross fracture. Much
of the spodumene found in North
Carolina deposits is almost 100 per
cent pure, although some is mixed
with other minerals and decayed
rock.
A furnace has been built on the
property to separate the spodumene
from other minerals found in the
rock formations by the calcining
method. When Jumps of the min
eral are heated to high tempera-
ture, the matter in the ore remains
in large Jumps above the screen. 1t
is thus possible to obtain almost 100
per cent pure spodumene at the site
of the mine before any is shipped.
No attempt has been made so far
to process the spodumene and de-
rive ithium from it in North Caro-
lima, although several concerns are
known to be interested in acquiring
some of these spodumene deposits
and in erecting complete processing
plants.

BY HAROLD G. PETERSEN
Some say the visit to the
United States of the Crown
Prince Olav and the Crown
Princess Martha, of Norway, is
significant in the face of the
remaining democratic nations
attempt to fend off encroach-
ing relationships.
The implications are there.
And it will be hard to avoid
them. Actually the visit is not
a diplomatic one, but one
strictly of friendship and the
elimination of a dream of long
standing for the Norwegian
royal family.
Norway, whose relationship with
the North American continent goes
back to the year 1000 when LEW
Erickson was the first white man
to set foot on these shores, has for
many years been anxious to send a
member of its reigning family on a
goodwill voyage to this great de-
mocracy-particularly to the upper
middlewest states = the Dakotas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, where so

seal on that friendship with Sweden
which had been growing up since
the dissolution of the Swedish-Nor-
wegian Union in 1905.
And it was a real love-match. The
marriage took place in Oslo which
had not seen a royal wedding for
hundreds of years.
When the bridal couple drove
through the streets of the city they
were received with tumultuous well
come. They now have three children
bearing the names of old Norwegian
royalty-Ragnhild, born in 1880;
Astrid, in 1882, and Harald in 1887.
The latter is the heir to the throne.
Crown Princess Martha, like all
the daughters of Prince Carl and
Princess Ingeborg, has received a
practical education, stressing house
hold arts.
Unlike most royalty who live
amid splendor and pomp, the prince
and his family live in a fashion that
might be described as that of pros
porous country gentleman farmer.
For their estate is but a large
farm. 1t is situated in Asker county,
about IA miles from Oslo along the
western shores of the Oslofjord and
nesting in the hills.
The main mansion-if mansion"

French windows dip down to the

Sakugun is a fairly large farm
according to Norwegian standards;
it comprises about 125 acres of
highly cultivated soil and some IT'S

CHAPTER XII

June woke to strange surround
ings; to room she had never seen
before, bed she did not know. She
woke, and lay with wide eyes, re-
membering; and for a while she
was content to stay abed, putting
her thoughts in order, asserting all
her Mortified impressions of the
night before . At last she heard
someone stop outside her door and
stand still there as though listening;
for a moment she shuddered with
vague terrors, then decided this
must be a friendly step, and called:
"Come in"
So Miss Moss opened the door;
and June saw kindness in her, and
strength and affection. The older
woman came gently to her bedside;
she said quietly:
Good morning, Miss Leaford.
Did you sleep well?"
st must have, I think" June con-
fessed. 'sWhat time is it?"
"Past eleven" Miss Moss told
her gently. "Stay in bed. I'll bring
you some coffee"
But June sat up quickly. "Oh, no.

Who's Who In Moon


Is the moon inhabited? You
would imagine so if you read
''Who's Who in the Moon" COM
piled and just issued by the Brit
ish Astronomical society. In it
you will come across the names of
600 men and nine women. They
are not, however, of moon-dwell-
ers, but of astronomers, explorers,
scientists, and philanthropists who
have helped to map the surface Of
the planet, work first begun in the
year 1645.
All the known high mountains
and wide craters of the moon have
been named. World-famous names
such as Copernicus, Plato, KEEP
pier are side by side with Smith
and Williams. Eleven persons liv-
ing today have achieved moon i'm

Should any discover some new
crater in the moon, his or her
name would be added to the list
of the mountainous.

division of the department of con-
servation and development.
The North Carolina deposits are
now regarded as the largest in the
world and sufficient to supply the
needs of the country for century
or more. The deposits are located
in Cleveland county, not far from
Kings Mountain of Revolutionary
war fame. The veins or dikes of
spodumene are from to lbs feet in
width and extend for several miles
over into CASTOR county. Great out
groupings of the spodumene stick up
above the ground, so that it is esti-
mated that hundreds of thousands of
tons are now available above
ground, without necessitating any
underground mining operations. Ge-
ologists say there are millions of
tons more beneath the surface that
can be mined if and when the supply
on top of the ground is exhausted.
Aside from its value as the source
of lithium, spodumene is used in its
pure state in the manufacture of
glass and chinaware. The color is
usually white, looking very much

Inspector Tope felt a quick pre-
monition of success. 1t was such
accidents as this which had be-
trayed murderers before, and would
again. He looked at Inspector Heale
wondering whether the other had
the same thought; but Heale's eyes
were fixed on someone little dis
lance off, and when Tope swung
that way, he saw the man whom
June had called Uncle Jim ap-
preaching them at swift long
strides.
He came near, and he cried:
"Where' S-MiSS Leaford?"
Heale said harshly: ''Where've
you been? I've been looking for
you"
Glovere made an impatient ges-
ture. SIS she all right?" he in
sisted.
Tope said gently: eyes, she's all
right, Mr.. Leaford."
And at that word Heale swung
toward him, then back to the other
man. "You Mr.. Leaford?" he de-
manded in a quick establishment.
There was a long silence; the 9TH
er at last lifted his hand. helplessly.

''No. I'd lost sleep lately"
Heale made a gesture of satisfac-
ton. 81 guess you're the man

June's father stared at him with
narrowing eyes. "What are you
talking about?" he demanded.
It was Tope who answered. "We
think Mrs. Leaford was murdered,
think this last night was murder
too" he said.
And Heale added in complacent
tone: $50 that's why I want you,
Mr.. Leaford. You're going for a
little ride with me-"

Three Largest Cities
Hartford, Conn, Nov. 7.-(UP)-
Thousands Of voters In Connecticut's
three largest cities went to the polls
today to elect complete city tickets.
Incumbent mayors in the contested
cities--Hartford, Bridgeport and
New Haven-probably will be re-
turned to office, according to best
political quarters.
Nevertheless, there were reports
Republicans at New Haven and
Hartford were pulling out strong
vote which may materially reduce
the expected heavy najorities Of the
incumbent Democratic mayors.
Mayor John w. Murphy at New
Haven was understood to have lost
some of the italian vote to Repub-
lican candidate william Ceientano,
president of the board Of aldermen
New Haven Is q strong Italian city

duce his margin considerably. But
there was no question among re-
sponsible sources Mayor Murphy
would be reelected.
At Hartford, meantime, there were
reports that Democratic Mayor
Thomas J. Spellacy, seeking q third
term, was being "cut" by organized
groups. Nevertheless, his election
virtually was conceded, but not by
great a majority. Predictions ranged
from 5000 to 10000 votes as the
mayors margin over Republican Jo-
seph B. Griffin.

which could be called definitely Gin"

Change to foreign registry Of the
vessels would result in immediate
withdrawal Of operating subsidies
which the maritime commission
grants American vessels engaged in
foreign commerce. Ships affected by
the transfer would no longer be re-
garded as American ships and,
therefore, would not be subject to
the restrictions imposed under the
neutrality act.
No Americans on Board
Further, no Americans could be
carried aboard the ships either as
passengers or crew into or throu yh
the combat areas proclaimed by the
president, and none of the ships,
should they return to United States
registry, could enter coastwise or
intercoastal service, although they
could resume operations on foreign
trade routes.
All the vessels involved are owned
outright by the U. s. Lines. The
government holds no mortgages or
other claims against them. All ex-
cept the President Harding and
Roosevelt are OF $500 tons. The
presidential ships are Of 1850 tons
each. All ships are passenger ships,
though the, $500 ton ones are pri-
marily cargo ships.
President John Franklin of the
United States Lines, in statement
issued In New York, announced the
company's application.
It was believed that ships off,
GERS would be mostly British If the
transfers were granted, and the
crews Canadians or Latin Aineri-
cans.
