MRS, TIBETT FINDS “EANE” ADELUSION Wife of Opera Star Sees Dreams Shattered by Husband’s Success. BY MOLLIE MERRICK. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calf., July 27, (N.A. N.A).—The Lawrence Tibbetts have come to the parting of the ways. Mrs. Tibbett has left the Beverly Hills home which has been the scene of the colony’s most genuine hospitality. “There is not room for fame and | happiness in the same home,” she said. “Two temperaments will undoubtedly | clash if there is not absolute negation on the part of one. There is no quiet in the lives of the famous—no rest, no calm—no room for more than one powerful personality. Lawrence Tibbett had the personality in our home. Quite Justly without doubt. “During our formative years—the years of our struggle, I was absorbed in the rearing of my twins, the making of our home, the building of a future which might have something more than dreams—some_financial stability. This struggle absorbed both the girl and the boy who married on love and lived on ambition. Security Brings Rift. “Today it is different. Financial security brought us none of the calm of which I had dreamed. Responsi- bilities which grew as my husband’s position and fame grew—duties which must be fulfilled and which are the in- evitable accompaniment of fame. And, with my developing personality, there came a stultifying instead of the per- gonal development ‘for which I had longed. As a result the boy and girl who had started on the uphill battle for genius recognition. found themselves far apart when the victory was won. “One truth I wish to stress about this | separation of Lawrence Tibbett and | myself: Hollywood has had nothing to do with it. I have the kindliest feel- ing for Hollywood and all it means. We would have come to a parting in any city. under our conditions. My | husband has not ‘gone Hollywood’ and | is no different than he would be in | Paris, London, New York, Chicago or any other large center of population. Separation Inevitable. | “Certain conditions impose a certain outcome. Our differences must logical- ly end in separation. but it has been a splendid_experience.” Mrs. Tibbett did not disclose her im- mediate plans. The couple were mar- ried in Los Angeles, May 19, 1919 Lawrence Tibbett’s sensational triumph s Ford in “Falstaff* came on January 2. 1925. At that time he electrified the metropolitan audiences with his art and caused a furore unusual in singing history. Still in his early thirties he has proved a finished artist in the | opera, concert stage and motion pic- tures. (Copyright, 1931.) THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

CHEMIST USES TOY New Studies Dispute Scien- tific Rule by Revealing Liquids Have "Skins.” By the Associated Press. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif, July 27.—Soap bubbles and an electri- cally equipped “toy” railway system are helping to give science a better under- standing of the “skins” which cover liquids and solutions.

W. McBain, professor of chemistry, which it is believed may force a revision of one of the fundamental formulas of science as developed by Josiah Wil- lard Gibbs of Yale. The new studies involve slicing off the upper thousandth inch of the sur- face of solutions. This is done by a microtome .blade, as thin and sharp as a safety razor blade, attached to a silver-plated car on the “toy” railroad. The water is trapped in a silver cylinder, much as a railway engine takes up water in transit from a trough between the rails. The fluid touches only silver, gold and glass, which are chemically inert. . ‘The blade, moving at 25 miles an hour, cuts off from the qulescent sur- face a film s0 thin that only about 50 drops of liquid are accumulated from an area a yard long and 3 inches wide. Films from water are found to be negatively charged with eléctricity. The few drops of water shaved off are weighed and analyzed to one part in a million by comparing beams of light passed through the cells of an inter- ferometer. By these tests Dr. McBain believes he has proven that there is a difference in compositions between the surface and the liquid on which it is resting. Gibbs predicted that it would he eventually ascertained there would not be quite enough dissolved molecules to cover the surface of the solution. Dr. McBain belleves there are two to four times this number in these cases. Gibbs also predicted the outside layer of molecules on such solutions as sugar and salt is pure water and this, the Stanford sclentist believes, he has confirmed. ‘When bubbles collide and burst the electrical phenomena are very similar, on a miniature scale, to the atmos- pheric discharge between clouds. _Believing that electrical effects were : rl:f:kon;d m.wlth in the Gibbs | fleet. formula, an t there is an electri- | Capt.

What induced this Manx offi- cial to utter such a sweeping piscatorial warning was a medi- cal report indicating deteriora- tion in the height and weight of Manx children, owing to improper feeding. But there are other stout de- fenders of the herring in the United Kingdom itself who share Clucas’ view that this fish, and not red rcast beef, has made for the nation’s greatness in the past. ‘The Raleighs, Drakes, Grobishers and Nelsons, it is pointed out, acquired more initiative from her- rings than from meat.
