Councilmen Deny
License for Hotel

Unanimously, promptly and with
a few frivolous remarks but no
argument. the city council denied
a hotel license Wednesday to Mrs
A. NJ. Griggs alias Mrs. Jay
Chavls, alias Ann Thompson.
As stated in the letter To the
council by License Inspector A.
O. Peterson. Mrs. Griggs. as Ann
Thompson, FOR many years ran
the Even hotel, well-known 10
law enforcement officers
She applied last week for a
license 10 operate the Oxford
hotel. at 204 So. 18th St. as lessee
of the property from the HUH
estate.
Peterson called the councils at
tention to Mrs. Griggs' other iden-
titles, remarked that seven liquor
convictions had been made at the
Even hotel since July l. 1910. and
reminded the council of the city
hotel ordinance which calls for
refusal OF a license 10 ANY person
not OF good moral character or
whom the council shall have rea-
sonRble grounds TO believe to be
dishonest or immoral or desire
such license To enable hfm To prae-
tice some dishonest or immoral
act"
The frivolous remarks of the
councilmen were wonderment as TO
how the applicant could at one
time be a Mrs. Griggs and a Mrs.
Chavis: also as TO the license in
spector's formality in referring 10
her as Ann Thompson.

Sometimes we hear OF metals being
cast into a melting pot, or crucible.
They are heated until they melt.
The heat goes through the melt
ing pot, and we may wonder why
it does not melt. The answer is
that it has a higher melting point
than the metals which are placed
inside it.
Melting pots are not all made

Graphite also is known as "black

Another widely known island i'm
portant for graphite is Madagascar,
off the eastern coast of Africa, and
it almost equals Ceylon in its out

Graphite is made up of carbon,
and diamonds also contain carbon.
1t is strange fact that the hardest
substance ever found, the diamond
is made up of carbon, the same as
graphite, one of the softest. Of min
erals.
Nature pressed the carbon together
in a different way to produce dia-
monds. Hard as they are, diamonds
can be turned into graphite, or
something very much like it. This
is done by placing the diamonds
in a closed container from which
the air has been pumped, then ap-
plying intense heat. When this
is done, substance on the order
Of graphite is found inside the con-
tainer. Since diamonds are costly,
the test is not made very often.
Most graphite comes from mines,
but thousands of tons of it have
been made from hard coal and
coke. This is done by sending
electric currents through the coal
or coke.
