From where | sit, that prescrip-

relationships. Criticism rarely
rouscs anything but resentment.
But IN open mind - whether it's

that there's right on both sides.

While there is evidence as far
back as oCG 4. D. that cards were
popular in Hindustan there is evil
dence that they were in use in Egypt
in the time Of Joseph and appeared
among the Jews after Their return
from the Babylonian exile. The Chi
nese believe they were invented for
the amusement of Seun-bos concu-
blnes in the year 1920 A. D. Playing
cards were not commonly used in
Europe until the first part Of the 18th

Gold Into Mercury

Ancient alchemists dreamed and
worked for means of turning quick
silver into gold. Now in atomic
ovens. gold is being turned into
mercury, a reversal of those ancient
dreams. As the gold is not scarce,
but a special isotope of mercury is
needed, this process becomes Of
real value. This special mercury 1913
emits a wave length of radiation
which is an exact spectral line that
can be used as a standard measure
ment. Mercury 1913 does not occur in
