Isolated by Dr. Alexander Scott, direc

of tha Chemistry society In a private
laboratory In London.
During tha course of tha experi
ments Dr. Scott produced specimens
of tha oxide of tha new element, a
small quantity of cinnamon-colored
powder, stated the atomlo weight of
the new element and described Its
chemical nature.
Fills Gap In Atomic Table.
The demonstration followed the an
nouncement made by Coater and Hov
esy, two young chemists working In
the laboratory of Prof. Bohr at Copen
hagen that by use of X-ray spectros
copy they had ascertained the exis
tence of an unknown element occupy
ing No. 72 In the table of elements as
arranged by the English physicist,
Moseley. French chemists already had
assigned this number to a supposed
rare-earth element which they called
eeltlum, but the experiments of Cos
ter and Heresy showed reasons for
doubting the correctness of the work
of the Frenchmen.
Dr. Scott’s first experiments with
the new element began aa long ago
as 1913 when he received for analy
sis a quantity of black sand from
New Zealand. From this sand he ex
tracted a cream-colored sand contain
ing 75 per cent of magnetic oxide of
lion and 25 per cent of titanium diox
ide. In further tests of the titanium
dioxide he found small qualities of
i highly refractory residue. He con
tinued to collect this residue, naming
it "new oxide.”
Compounds Are Similar.
From the slmllamy of the com
pounds It made with potassium and
fluorine to those of titanium and zir
conium he was convinced that the
new element was a likely candidate for
place 72 in the atomic table of ele
ments, but he did not pursue the
work any further until he heard of
the announcement of the discovery by
Coster and Hevesy.
He ascertained the atomic weight
to be approximately 180 and the
chemical characters to he those which
X-ray spectroscopy would assign to
hafnium. To apply the X-ray method
to this oxide would have been an easy
matter, but from considerations of In
ternational courtesy Dr. Scott has
written to Coster and Hevesy 9ffering
to supply them with the necessary
materials for that purpose.
Because of the close analogy be
tween hafnium and titanium and zir
conium, Dr. Scott believes the new ele
ment may prove of commercial value
In the making of Incandescent man
tles.
The Russian engineer, Makhomino,
is conducting experiments In France
with an invention which attached to a
locomotive will operate without coal
and water. The only fuel used Is a
very small quantity of naphtha.

End of Royalty Looms
in Betrothal of Prince
i _
British Monarchists Alarmed Over Engagement of
Duke of York to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon—
King and Queen Approve Match.
London, Feb. 24.—Royalists and
those who are great sticklers for
royal precedents profess to see In the
betrothal of the duke of York and
Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon the pos
sibility of the end of the British mon
archy.
It is true that the marriage of this
scion of the royal family and the
daughter of an earl, who Is outside
the rank of royalty, will establish a
precedent. It would have been* next
to Impossible 20 years ago for the son
of a reigning monarch—and one who
Is but one step removed from direct
succession to the throne—to have
married outside the rank of royalty.
Monarchies are kept alive by evolu
tion, by the intermarriage of royalty
with royalty, it is claimed. The ex
kaiser Is quoted as authority for this,
even though it may be strange to
quote the ex-kaiser for any precedent
these days. When one of the ex
kaiser's sons married the Countess
Bassewitz, ho was forced to marry
morganatlcaliy, the ex^taiser stating
that “the very existence of a royal
family depends upon keeping it a
family royal by birth on both sides."
Royalty in Trade?
Just supposing, the royalists gasp,
that royalty comes to have cousins
and nephews, and the like who are
. IJ
This Is the first posed photograph of the duke of York, second son of
the British rulers, and his fiancee, Lady Flizabetli Howes-Lyon, to reach
/America. It was made in latndon shortly after the announcement of
their engagement. The marriage, it is thought, will take place In April.
In the old days a marriage of this :
sort would have necessarily been
morganatic.
KoyaJiats Alarmed.
Where la this going to stop” That
la the question the royalists are ask
ing. The king and queen have ap
proved the match, and It will be pop
ular with the British subjects, but
suppose the prince of ,Wales chooses
to go further and select for himself
a bride who is not even of the peer
age! If the heir to the throne ever
marries the daughter of a commoner,
then the end of the monarchy will be
in sight, the realists declare, and
they almost shudder at the thought,
for they know the prince of Wales
has a will of his own.

“Sign a Mile” Ambition
of California Auto Club
Los Angeles, Feb. 24.—"A sign a

leading Into southern California Is
the standard set for the marking of
the roads from the east to the Pacific
coast.
According to a statement Issued
yesterday by the Los Angeles Cham
ber of Commerce, all road slgna on
transcontinental routes are now In
perfect repair, following a season of
sign posting work Just completed by
the Automobile club of Southern Cali
fornia.
On the National Old Trails route
leading from the esat to California
via Kansas City, the automobile club
has placed 3,500 signs over a distance
of a little more than 2,600 miles, In
cluding the branches of this route,
which Is sometimes known as the
Santa Fe trail.
It requires 1,506,000 paper marks to

Canada Turns to America
for Auto Traffic Rules
Detroit, Eeb. 24.—American traf
fic rules are penetrating to Canada.
The English rule of "turn to the left"
has been abolished In all provinces
except Prince Edward Jsland and
Nova Scotia. New Brunswick Is the
latest province to conform to the
American plan of “turn to the right."
This change has been made to check
automobile accidents, many of which
were caused by tourists unfamiliar
with this antique English custom.

Those under the impression that the
Germans are a slow-moving race are
misinformed If a record hung up at
the Avus, Berlin, course tells any
thing. in 300 hours a Deutsch auto
racing crew put on a nonstop chase,
covering, 8,380 miles. Although this
only averages 28 miles per hour, at
some sections of trial a very gTeat

The Beckoning Light
By Lillian Lee
It was a dark stormy night, the wind had shifted
to eastward, the stars had disappeared under clouds,
and within a little fisherman’s cottage, on the New
foundland coast, the good wife feared for her hus
band’s safety, who, she knew, was out on the rough
waves with others after mackerel. Outside the
storm raged, but within it was warm and cozy, the
blazing logs sent ruddy sparks up the wide chimmey
and beside the fire sat an old woman. At f
her feet the house eat slept, and opposite -
sat a fine buxom young woman with a beauti- r'j
ful three-year-old boy in his nightie, all N
ready for bed. He knelt at his mother’s knee and
prayed for daddy's safety, who was out on the wide
raging sea; then his mother put a lighted candle in
his hand and guided him to the window where he
placed it to light the way for daddy, and Donald,
seeing the looked-for light, guided his boat to safety
and to home.
Women who suffer from ills peculiar to their sex,
should follow the “beckoning light” to health and hap
piness by taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,
the famous herbal remedy. It is made from the
formula of a skilled physician, of the same herbs ^
and roots long used by the Indians. Thes gj^L.
women usually are free from feminine disordero^^^i
and generally pass through the ordeal of mother
hood in safety and ease. Dr. Pierce’s high standing as a citizen ana long
experience as a specialist, guarantees the absolute purity of the Favorite
Prescription. This is what one woman says about it:
Council Bluffs, Iowa—“Some years ago I wa3 restored to health by
taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I went all down in health
due to my having woman’s weakness. I was nervous, suffered continually
with backaches, pains in my side and bearing pains, and could not eat
nor sleep. ‘Favorite Prescription’ was recommended to me and I began
to take it, and it proved to be all that it is recommended to be, for it
completely relieved me of all my woman's trouble and built me up in
health and strength.”—Mrs. Emma Shanks, 1219 Fifth Ave.
Favorite Prescription is sold by all druggists in liquid or tablet form,
or send 10c for trial sample to Dr. Pierce's Invalids Hotel, 665 Main
St., Buffalo, N. Y., and write for free medical advice.

GET RID OF YOUR FAT
Thousands of others have gotten rid of theirs by my simple
and efficient method of fat reduction, often at a very rapid
rate, and WITHOUT PAYMENT until reduction has
taken place.
I am a licensed practising physician and have made a
careful study of the physiological requirements of the
human body. This has enabled me to select such ingre
dients and in such proportion as in my opinion will pro
duce not only a loss of weight without harm and an im
provement in health, but with it an alleviation of ail of
•the troublesome symptoms which frequently accompany
and often are a direct result of overstoutness, such a»
shortness of breath on slight exertion, palpitation of the
heart, etc., not to speak of the relief from the embarrass
ment of being too stout. Stout persons suffering from
such diseases as Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Eczema,
Asthma and high blood pressure are greatly relieved by
a reduction of their superfluous fat.
My treatment will relieve that depressed, tired, sleepy feeling, giving
you the renewed energy and vigor which come a> a result of the loss of
your superfluous fat. The medicinal ingredients I employ do not depend
for their reducing power upon starvation diet or tiresome exercise. Taking
them, they should produce a loss of weight without you doing anything
else.
If you are overstnut do not postpone but sit down right now and seed
for my FREE TRIAL TREATMENT and my plan wherebv I am to
