The Government of the United States is spend- ing million of dollars of taxpayers’ money on the absurd pretemse of enforcing Prohibition! A joke?

Underneath it are ugliness, violence, menace. Joke? Yes, a criminal joke! Protection! (Cincinnati Enquirer.) So many bad things have been said, and proved, of the Smoot-Hawley tariff that even the supreme apologist, Mr. Fess, sneaks around it on tiptoe with his gaze averted. Yet little of the damning evidence has been so specific as that which has besn revealed since Great Britain, largely in forced |retaliation, has put import taxes of 50 per cent. on a long list of commodities. American industries have been forced to get |behind other foreign tariff walls in order to com- pete in markets that once were profitable. Now many of them plan to climb the British wall by moving production branches to that country. A dispatch from London states that several firms already are preparing to manufacture products in <E:ngland for English trade, and that the English |Government welcomes them because their activities will aid in reducing British unemployment. The goods that will be produced by our indus- trial branches in England hitherto have been manufactured for export in American factories and 1hy American labor. Thus Britain’s entry into pro- tection, an experiment in great part due to our own towering imposts, is causing a percentage of American industry to migrate to save valuable mar- kets, and is taking work away from Americans. The Wonderful North. (Prince Rupert Empire.) It was only a few years ago when -Canada was looked on as a useless country, much too cold to be of any value. Later as its value began to be realized, people looked still farther mnorth and found that possibly by adaptation even the country northward to the Arctic Circle might have a value. Travelers tell us that it is warmer in winter at the mouth of the Mackenzie than it is in Manitoba although the continuous darkness of the winter months is a handicap. Official statistics back up what the travelers say. Possibly fifty years from now there will be con- siderable population at the mouth of the Mackenzie River, especially if they find mineral there that is of sufficient value to make working it remunerative. The reindeer industry is likely to become important. | What other indutsries may develop there does not |yet seem apparent but the oil supply at Fort Nor- man has been proved but not utilized. Alaska was once offered to the British but re- fused by them because it was supposed to have no value. Now it is realized what a grievous mistake was made. Possibly the rest of the Northland may yet prove as valuable as was Alaska. “Regular” Republicans Envious. (Seattle Times.) Alabama Democrats have decreed that no can- didate who bolted the Al Smith ticket in 1928 can run for office as a party nominee. A similar rule made in 1929 was designed principally to stop former Senator J. Thomas Heflin, but the latest decision applies to candidates for all offices from constable up. Regular Republicans who have sought ineffectually to discipline Senator Brookhart, Sena- tor Norris and others doubtless look on the Alabama Democrats with admiration. | These socalled hunger marchers have about as much effect on unemployment as sleeping with a| sweet potato under the pillow has on warts.—(Ohio State Journal.) Both France and Italy sent statesmen all the way to America to tell us they want eternal peace. Why don't they talk the same talk across their own back fence?—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)

G. Brickwedde SPECTRUM PICTURE OF NEW GAS THIS LINE EMANATES FROM THE EXTRA ELECTRICAL CHARGES (lower left), a new hydrogen gas twice as “heavy” as ordinary hydrogen has been discovered. Dr. G. M. Murphy, shown above with a container of the new hydrogen, and Prof. Harold C. Urey (upper left) have de- termined that the new hydrogen atoms are heavy because they are made of four charges of electricity. By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE NEW YORK, Jan. 4—The coldest “still” in the world, brewing its vapors at 437 degrees below zero | Fahrenheit, produced the newly| discovered “heavy” hydrogen gas. ; This gas is exactly twice as heavy | as ordinary hydrogen, yet is ]ustv much pure hydrogen as the wel known kind. The process which revealed the | hitherto unknown form is called | “fractional distillation” and is ex- actly the same thing which makes | gasoline “cracking.” Strange as it may seem, the icy hydrogen stilll uses heat just the same as the other kinds of stills.

The old hydrogen atom is com- |posed of a nucleus, which is one| proton, or positive electrical charge, | and a single electron, or negative electrical charge, circling around the nucleus.
