MISSOULA, Mont., September 1.— With 14 men dead and an army of 3.200 in the field, Montana, Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington today carried on their battle against flames which have eaten relentlessly into Northwestern forests for weeks. Ray Helm, Minneapolis, was the four- teenth man io die in the fight #gainst the flames. He was killed yesterday when a burning tree fell on him as he Jabored with a fire-fighting crew near Plains, Mont. Conditions were reported generally jmproved in the fire-swept Boise and Idaho National For , and Nailqnnl Guardsmen were detailed to conduct fire fighters out of the wooded sections. Gov. C. Bon Ross declared martial in four counties after forest offi- expresced fears tha: men rapidly being released as the fircs came under control would set new blazes to provide cemployment. Five rifle units, a ma- ch'ne gun company and two medical units had been sent into the two for- ests last night. RICHARD T. RINGLING DIES AT MONTANA HOME Son of One of Famous Circus Mag- nates Was Heart Attack. la Victim of Br the Associated Pre:s. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Mont., September 1.—Richard T. Rirglng, 36, & son of the late Alfred T. Ringling, one of the famous vircus magnates, died of a heart attack at his home here yestorday. Ringling operated sheep and cattle ranches. He owned large tracts of land in both Montana and Florida Ringling was born at Baraboo. Wis He lived in New Yotk City and Oak Ridge, N. J., before taking his own cir- cus on the road in 1915. The young show head came herc in 1916 and pur- chased a large ranch from his uncle, John Ringling. He later acquired 180.- 000 acres of l.nd here and in the Up- per Madison Valley. He and Miss Aubrey Black, daughter ©of a prominent lawyer here, were mar- ried in 1918. The widow and three chil- dren and a sister, Marjorle Ringling, survive.

He was arrested and charged with Teckless driving Police reported that the machine ran for about 500 feet along the sidewalk after striking the show window. Dam- age to the store was estimated at $300 and to the automobile at $50. hilip -~ BETWEEN Fa&G ELEVENTH ST. BUFFALO, N. Y. September 1.—A new scientific eve which combines the speed of light with magnetism to de- *s, elements as infiinitesimal as one part in 100 billion was described to the American Chemical Society today.| The detector is based on a discovery by its author. Dr. Fred Allison of the devartment of phvsics, Alabama Poly- technic Institute, that every one of the 92 elements compcsing the earth is af- fected differentlv by a combination of light and magnetism. These differences he calls “reaction times.” These periods are equivalent to identification tags and Dr. Allison’s apparatus reads the tags and records them on a scale. even makes it unnecessary for a human eve to watch the scale. Placed in Liquid. The substances to be sought— like goid in sea water—are placed in a liquid. The liquid is pnt in A magnetic field and light ed through. Tke light is practically extinguished in the magnetized liquid by the ele- ments therein. But each element takes a different fraction of time to do the snuffing out and so reveals its presence. “In a mixture of several substances,” said Dr. Allison. “each one retains its own reaction time unaffected by the presence of the others, and perhaps most surprising of all, each substance retains its power to manifest its indi- vidual reaction time even after the solution 1s diluted until the substance is present in only one part in a hun- dred billion. The magneto-optic method a'so enzbles one to find out just how much of the substance is present. “It is possible, for example. to de- tect In our feods very minute quan- tities of metals which, until recently, were not known to be a content of foods and the importance of which to health has been a question of much concern in late yvears to certain re- search workers in the fleld of biochem- istry.” The new eye also has given traces of the two missing elements that no one yet has found on earth, although scientists are certain they exist. They are known simply as elements 85 and 87. Chemists predict that 87. when found. will be radicactive, jet black, of metallic luster, probably insoluble in water and will melt at about 450 de- grees Fahrenheit. Dr Allison said finding unique use “isotopes.” Isotopes &t present are about the most_useless things in the world, from a practical viewpoint. They are differ- ences in weight of atoms of the same ,element. In other words, the seeming- ly indivisible and uniform atoms are not all the same. So far no chemist_has Leen able to make use of these differ- | ences. but there is every expectation that the secret of using the differences 11l be found some day. That will mean the probable creation of new products, possibly of completely novel ones. the in is of apparatus detection Telephone National 5000 For immediate delivery of The Star to your home every evening and Sunday morning The Route Agent will collect at the end of each month. at the rate of 1% cents per day and 5 cents Sunday ghorn Wednesday ...
