Hafnium, New Mineral Element, Is Isolated English Research Director Finds Substance Which May Be Used in In candescent Lamps. ^ (f By GRAFTON WILCOX. Washington, Feb. 24.—A new ele hient known as hafnium has just been Isolated by Dr. Alexander Scott, direc tor of scientific research of the Brit ish museum, according to reports re ‘ ceived here. Dr. Scott's demonstra . tion, which is characterized as the "most striking chemical event since Ramsey’s Isolation of helium." was given before a number of members ADVERTISEMENT “Gets-lt” Friendly a Enemy of Corns »ey Die While They Sleep 1 4.1 A only good com is a dead com.

Lawrence & Co.. Mix., Chicago. 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. in trade!

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 buy a 20-mark gold piece In Germany. ■' '■ ■ ■— * 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.

This change has been made to check automobile accidents, many of which were caused by tourists unfamiliar with this antique English custom. German Car Makes Speed.

AnVrKTIATMEXT ADVKRTIHFMBVr A 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.
