MAN ON SCOOTER IS
SERIOUSLY INJURED
NEAR MEACIIAM FIELD
Harry Lee Carey's
Chances OF Recovering
Are About $3.50,
Doctor Declares

Harry Lee Carey. "a, of 1922
Angela street, was seriously in
jured last night when a motor
scooter he was riding in South
Roosevelt boulevard near the air
port threw him in the roadway.
He was at first taken to Mon
roe County Hospital in an ambu-
lance from the Lopez Funeral
Home, but later was transferred
to the U. S. Naval Hospital, when
it was found he was an Army We
teran of the last World War.
Doctors at the Naval Hospital
said today his condition was so
serious they thought his chances
of recovering were about $3.50.
Carey had cranial injury, but
the doctors do not know yet
whether he suffered a fractured
skull
1t seems Carey was alone on
the scooter. 1t must have struck
some obstruction that threw him
heavily into the roadway.

Blind Mans Charity Saves
Four Cabbies From Prison

PHILADELPHIA blind mans
charity has saved from prison four
men convicted of an attack upon
him which cost him his sight.
The blind pardoner was Clair
Reed, Jr., 33-year old former taxi
driver. The men he saved from
prison were cabbies too. They were
convicted of participating in an at
tack upon Reed in which Reed lost
his vision when struck with a tire
iron.
Reed felt his way to the witness
chair when the men came up for
sentencing. AS the four convicted
drivers watched their permanently
sightless victim. Reed told the
judge: 81 don't feel these boys
should 60 to Jail because of this
act I don't hold any prejudice
against anybody"
The judge then let the men off
with 500 fines and court costs, put
ting them on probation for two
years. AS he did so he remarked
that the defendants normally would
be sent to prison."
Reed was injured during violence
over a wildcat taxi strike. A fifth
mar accused of welding the tire
iron against Reed is a fugitive. The
judge took into account a union col
lection for Reed, repeatedly $1,000,
in his sentencing, but said the per-
son who blinded Reed would "even-
tually be held to account for his
act"

Earth's Atmosphere Rocks
With Wave-Like Disturbance

NEW YORK. - The British

Slough. England, has reported
that the top of the earth's at
mosphere rocks to and fro with
a wave-like motion.
The motion is like that of
water In the top Of a bucket
after it has been tilted. There are
both waves and ripples. The dis
covery. it was said, shows that
the wave motion can be pre-
dicted, and this forecasting
promises a new step in radio.
1t might be used to beam
radio long distances, far around
the curvature Of the earth, and
far beyond the limits of radar.
Such a beam might aid in steer

manently frozen. One of the rugs,

quite large, about 10 by 20 feet.

on a throne with a tree in his hands.
The second rug is velvet and of ex-

they were made in the fifth century

Two bodies. one Of a man, the
other of a woman, found in the
tomb are embalmed. On the head

Scientist Changes Mercury
To Gold, But Cost too High

CHICAGO. - 1t remained for
modern science to do something
the ancient alchemists sought to do
for centuries-turn base metal into
gold.
But, there Is a catch, as usual.
The process costs so much more
than the price of gold that 'twould
be folly to fool with it.
DR.. Arthur Dempster. Of the Ar
come national laboratory, reported
it had been learned that a small
portion of mercury would change
into gold if bombarded by neutrons
in an atomic pile. But this is no
easy method of making gold, for
it costs many times the S35 an
ounce being paid for gold.
DR.. Dempster said Argonne ply
sicists found that a very weak lei
curry isotope- or particle of mat
ter made radioactive-had a great
capacity to absorb neutronS. This
particular isotope has an atomic
weight Of 1856.
A sample of mercury 1876 was
sent to the Hanford Wash.) labor
atory of the atomic energy COM
mission and placed under neutron
bombardment in the atomic pile.
1t was left there two weeks.
At the end Of that time 1t was
found that a small portion of the
mercury had been transformed into
gold.
