Priestley and Midgley
(NeW York Times)

(New York Tfmes)
 Joseph Priestley, one of the great pioneers of chemistry, Englshman by birth and career, but he died in Northumberland, Pa., refugee from the wrath of eighteenth century England against his sympathy for the French Revolution. He was that rare combination, philosophical and prac- tical When not delving into such matters as Chadean metaphysics, he liked to visit the brewery next door to his home in Leeds and study the emergence of bubbles in the fermenting froth. In his laboratory he discovered that those bubbles were not ordinary air. His paper "On the Different Kinds Of Air" lad the foundation for the modern science of gases and their reactions-a science which is utilized every time spark plug sets off new power stroke in the cylinder of automobile or airplane engine.
 It is fitting, therefore that this years recipient of the Priestley Medal, the highest honor offered by the American Chemical Society, should be man who made it possible for automobiles and arpanes 10 go many miles farther on gallon of "gas." Tn 1922 when Thomas Midgley Jr. announced that six years of work at the General Motors Research Lab oiatores had eliminated in the perfection of an antknock compound, he predicted within the next two three years it is expected that gas engine design will have been changed to get the benefit of the new discovery"
 The prediction has been abundantly fulfilled The modern high-compression automobile engine not to speak of the much more compact arpane motor would sputter painfully with the kind of fuel that was marketed 20 years ago. To keep the same number of cars on the road and airplanes the wing (and they would never fly fast they dol, would require many more tankers, tank-cars and pipelines from the Western fields. For the present efficiency of the eternal combustion engine the nation owes much to MT. Midgley. And for the very existence of such engines there is during debt to pioneers like Joseph P1ieStey, the Nonconformist minister who learned about gas chemistry from the froth of beer vat.

SERPENT OF THE SEA

Once upon a time, naval warfare was waged in glorious battle. Two trim frigates, their white sails refecting the sunlight their sharp prows cut ting the waves, would sight each other If they represented two warning nations they would mapeu- yer for positions with beautiful precision. They would fire shots from deck cannon. When one ship had pretty well disabled the other, it would sail alongside close with the other ship with grappling- irons There might be fierce hand to hand fighting.
 Even when the pirates of the Spanish Main who at times attacked comparatively unarmed mer- chant ships sighted a quarry, the prey always had a chance to run away from the buccaneers If the merchant was armed and wanted to maneuver into a battle with the pirates, it their own responsibility and the chances were it would be a fair fight.
 Those the days of chvary the high seas-ron men and wooden ships such as the fri gates we sent against Great Britain during the War of 1872 They sailed the waves pridefully.
 But, consider the marine warfare of the present conflict.
 President Roosevelt in his recent address to the nation on the Greer incident referred to rattle snakes" of the Atlantic. If that reference was aimed at the Nazi submarines, FDR paid them a comparative compliment.
 .8 In contrast with the U-boat, the rattesnake is a gentleman of the reptile world More like the python, which turks in the tree tops swing down on its unsuspecting victim the submarine is a wretched assassin sneaking completely of sight below the waves then unseen, delivering it's steel projectiles of death.

 Burton Holmes, dean of world travel lecturers, quoted the other day as saying: My career was decided when Chicago manager told me there was living to be made out of travel lectures. That made me so mad decided to show him. And here I facing my 49th season"
 It would not be bad idea to post that short biography on the walls of the college classrooms which are now filled again with young men and women in search of careers
 The professional and business world is filled with successful and women who were told when they started out that there wasn't room for any more in their chosen line of endeavor but who re- fused to take such advice.
 The American public will always move over and make room for youngsters with imagination and a determination to go places. This may seem like old turf to a generation reared in period of depen- fence on a paternalistc government for living. But it is just such generation that is most in need of being reminded that ones own efforts count most in getting ahead The philosophy that calls for great evelling off of society invented by persons too lazy to rise to the top.

''The Personal Responsibility for Developing Christian Life" was the topic of an address made last night by the Rev pr. Herbert Booth Smith, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, who addressed a large Juneau audience in the Northern Light Presbyterian Church.
 Dr. Smith used as his text the sixth chapter of Isaiah in his thought provoking and inspiring message. The service was presided over by the Rev. Walter Soboleff of the Memorial Presbyterian Church of Juneau, and the Northern Light choir sang an anthem.
 Planning to leave for Sitka today, pr. Smith will deliver the address there at the dedication of the new Princeton Hall, Presbyterian mis- sionary boat. The Rev. Soboleff will accompany him on the trip.

for nature apparently is to take on the destructive moods of man. Scientists and inventors will fur- nish new lines of production for American factories. For the man with vision there will be numer- ous opportunities to make money this autumn. The famous rhythm of our high speed activities will be noticeably increased.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: All-oul contributions to relief agencies nov will be of prime concern to all patriotic persons. Giving will be imperative, even when giving means real sacrifice. The endless bundles for Britain must be multiplied as the need for warm clothing is great among war victims. American generosity will be unlimited iii every country where need is ap- parent and China will receive add ed help, the stars seem to prom ise. Thus the nation is preparing for it's postwar tasks in helping the rebuilding of cities laid waste end the rehabilitation of peoples crushed and robbed by aggressors
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: According to astrologers who fore told that any pact between Ges- many and Russia would lead to discord, the next conjunction of Mars and Saturn, February, l942. will bring upheaval to the Soviet Government. It has been prophe- sled that the people of Russia would demand sweeping changes in the Soviet form of ruling a great people and that they would overthrow the dictator. Their con- flict with Germany is to demon- strate their power, but will cost many lives before the final battles.

reluctance or hesitation. But again the application was lost.
 The company representative went in despair to OPM officials, who were quite as deSpairing as he. They had desired as much as the company that the necessary parts be supplied so that the company's production of war materials would not be interrupted. Twice they had said so promptly, but what could they do? Government red tape was too much for them. So they jumped all hurdles, circumvented all proper government procedure, and simply wrote a telegram ordering that the parts be delievered.
 That's the way things can hap pen, if the OPM really wants them to.

DEFENSE RED TAPE

Today the word priority" is the most unpopular in the jargor of American business. It causes more trouble than the code" of ancient MIRA days, and it is even more dis tasteful than taxes.
 This does not mean that busi- ness resents the principal of prior ities-which is recognized as essen- tial to war production-but that priorities are administered with such haphazard red tape.
 Here are illustrations of how certain Government officials are bungling priorities:
 A new naval air station was built in certain southern city, and the city agreed to build new fire house nearb.' to provide protection. But the city had to have fire hose for the new fire house, and it couldn't buy the fire hose from the manufacturer without first getting priority order from the OPM. The city fathers filed an application and got nowhere. So they asked a special representative in Washing ton to go personally to the OPM and try to dislodge the application.
 Their representative went to the OPM in person, truged from office to office, from bureau to bureau over a period of ten days, in the course of which time he discovered that thousands of priority requests are dumped in a basement mail room in the old police building Gin such confusion that they are
