ROYALTY GOES AVISITINC

For some years while the Duke o
Windsor was Prince Of Wales, Britain hae
no better salesman. Many called hin
"%playboY," and forsooth he did enjoy
good time. But as he wandered over the
earth the genial Prince made many
friend for the Empire, whether he was
comforting with ministers of state or trip.

Even when he fell off a horse, for which
he had a particular penchant, he attracted
additional attention 10 Britain and every
body merely smiled in friendliness and
sympathy. There was some horseplay OIL
course at street corners and in clubs bul
ii was all good-humored.
Now the Empire is in a peck of trouble
and needs friends again and the Duke
OF Windsor is out Of favor. So the whole
Royal Family takes up the role he played
so long and with marked success They
are aboard a luxury battleship, papa
King, mama Queen and the two Princes

four months, visiting many countries in
the meantime.
King George is a genial soul and friend
lY and we sometimes think finds the roval
role irksome. And his Queen, a fine
Scotch lassie with democratic and domes-
tic inclinations, like Sentimental Tommy
has a way" of being c~ongenial and ex-
ceedingly agreeable in any company, win.
ming favor wherever she goes. They are
we'll fitted TO serve the Empire as am.
bassadors Of good will. Britain assured

sympathy when they return to Buckinq

But will they also have dispelled th'
worry Of some Of their subjects at hom'

Table Of Atoms, Or Element

In the complete table of atoms,
we find a strange regularity known
as the periodic law. For instance,
beginning with No. 2 helium -
every eighth atom (2-10-l8) is SIM
liar or related to the others in
the group. Or beginning with No.
3, every eighth atom C3-11-19) is
related. And so on. The pattern is
not absolutely perfect, but again
and again you see the atoms group
ing themselves, eight atomic num-
bers apart.

The Book OF KNOWLEDGE

Numbers 4. II and 20 (beryllium.
metals. look somewhat alike and
behave very much alike. so much
so that chemists often have diff
Guilty in telling which is which.
Again. in this grouping by Fights,
five elements - helium, neon,
argon, krypton and xenon are all
gases, and their behavior is iden-
teal in that they will not enter into
chemical combination with any
other elements. Thus they are call
ed inert, or noble gases, because
they stand aloof. 1t is this which
makes helium so valuable for air
ships and blimps-it cannot COM
bine with oxygen or any other ele-
ment to make an explosion.
Atoms do not combine helter-
SHELTER, but according TO strict
rules. Different kinds of atoms
do not always combine one and
one, but sometimes one and two,
or one and three, or two and ;nree.
This regular behavior is governed
by "valence". Different atoms have
valence o, /. 2, 3 or 4. Think of an
atom as having a certain number
of hooks by which it attaches itself
to an atom of another kind. The
number of hooks is its %valence. The
noble gases. which have Valence
o = or no hooks - do not combine
with other kinds of atoms.
One strict rule is that every
hook must be used. Magnesium has
valence 2. chlorine /. Therefore,
n atom of magnesium hooks on
to 2 atoms of chlorine. leaving no
hooks unused. The compound is
magnesium chloride. Oxygen, how
ever, also has Valence 2, so one
atom Of magnesium can combine
with one of oxygen, each atom
using its two hooks. The compound
is magnesium oxide.
There are several kinds of atoms
which can join with identical atoms
in different ways to make different
substances. For example, carbon
atoms joined in one way. make
diamonds; in another way, they
make graphite. Both these sub
stances are pure carbon. but dia-
mond is very hard, graphite very
soft. Different forms of pure
chemical elements. such as these.
are called ~allotropes.

Written for NEA Service

Returning from my air trip
around the country, I dropped in
at the Mayfair Bridge Club in New
York to see Harry Fishbein. Har-
ry said he had a couple of good
hands for me, and when he says
a hand is good, you can count on
it
Here is one that he claims was
the outstanding hand of 1916.
Looking at all four hands, how
would you play the contract?
Declarer must play low from
dummy on the first heart and East
wins with the queen. If East
makes the mistake of returning
the jack of clubs, the contract is
easy. East must return a diamond,
the ten spot preferred. South
must win with the ace. trump q
diamond with the kind OF spades.
lead a small spade back to his
hand and ruff the other diamond
with the queen of spades.
AS declarer's only hope is to
find West with the kind of hearts
and king of clubs, he now cashes
the ace of clubs, comes back to
bis hand with a spade, and runs
the balance of the trumps.
West cannot hold three hearts
and the kind of clubs, because de-
clarer will have only three cards
left, the nine of hearts and queen
nine of clubs.
This unusual squeeze play is tho
Vienna Coup. When declarer
cashes the ace OF clubs. he delih
erately establishes a trick sor tha
opponent and then squeezes him
out of it-that is the play know,
as the Vienna Coup.

Henry A. Wallace, former Demo-
cratic Vice President of the United

Auto Loan Companies
Agree 10 Pay Rebates
And Obey Rate Limits

The District Bar Association has
Won its fight TO make auto loan CON-
panies here operate under the Dis
trict's Small Loan Act, which limits
the rates of interest that can be
charged on loans.
The companies also agreed TO nav
rebates Of $4,000 to District resi-
dents who claimed that the firms
had charged them exorbitant rates.
1t was announced by Austin Cam
field, association president.
Compliance by the loan COM
panles marked a hard-won victory
for the bar association, which last
September started an investigation
OF complaints that usurious rates
we're being charged. The companies
previously contended that the Small
Loan Act did not apply to their
operations.
The investigation was conducted
by. committee headed by Martin
ODonoghue, Abe Goldstein and
Francis j. Buckley. MIR. Garfield
praised the committees work and
complimented them "for the re-
markable success of this undertak-
ing"
Twenty-one auto-loan companies
applied for licenses yesterday, and
six other firms announced that they
will file their applicati tions on Mon
day. A license costs $500 and each
application must be ACCOMPANIED
by $1,000 bond.
Under the act, licensed companies
may charge up to per cent inter-
est per month on loans, which fee
will cover all processing costs on
the loans.
Criminal charges pending against
one of the companies Yin test
case were dropped yesterday after
the Corpora ton Counsel's office had
learned the firm had agreed to a
settlement ard applied for license.
The Equitable Credit Co., 845 Sew
enteenth street. NV, was the firm
involved. Five charges of lending
money at an annual interest rate
greater than s per cent without a
license were nolle pressed in Munic-
ipal Court. Assistant Corporation
Counsel Robert D. Wise, senior
prosecutor in the court, announced
the firm had applied for license,
posted the necessary fidelity bond
and paid the license fee.
Test civil suits against three COM
panies also have been dropped, ac-
cording to William r. Lichtenberg
attorney for the firms, and Mr.. Can
field. The bar association agreed to
the dismissals since equitable set
tlement' had been made. About 200
persons had complained they were
