London Flocks To Ye Old Plow Inn

LONDON, Jan. 15—United states Ambassador Itobert W. Bingham and Mrs. Bingham were among the hundreds of persons who flocked from London to watch lshbel Mac- Donald, daughter of Ramsay Mac- Donald, former prime minister and now lord president of the council, in action for the first time as prop- rietress of Ye Oldc Plow Inn in the heart oi the Buokinghamshire countryside. ' "

The little village of Spoen hsd not known such excitement since Jubilee day, and because of the great influx of visitors the village police force-one strong-had to be mobilized soon after the inn open- ed to unravel the tangle oi auto- mobiles parked outside the 300-year old building.

Throughout the day more and more cars came over the ‘ steep. winding lanes to where the red- bricked and timbsred inn lies in l. hollow among the Chilwrn Hills. By afternoon Miss MacDonald found that her stock of beer was running low and she was beginning to wonder whether she would need to consult her architect brother, Alistair MscDonadl about buildins extensions to the premises.

But the rush oi luncheon guests could not upset Miss MacDonald. who had coped with plenty of emergencies like this while she was hostess at 10 Downing street in the days when her father was prime minister.

By Guardian's Special WIN) NEW YORK, Jan. 15—Perslsient realizing today wore stock market resistance down close t0 the Vill- ishing point at the finish. 'A flood of offerings hit the mar- ket in thefinal half hour of trad- ing, while the reporting machinery limped along as much as six min- utes behind dealings on the floor of the exchange. Declines outnumbered advances in the ratio of about 5 to 3, al- though relatively few losses ran much more than a 901M.

MACHINE MAKES ARTI- FICIAL RADIUM WORTH $40,000 AT COST OF $5,000

ITHACA, cost of $5.000 Cornell

N. J., Jan. 15-At ‘a University

' has a machine capable of making

artificial radium as a substituie for the real stuff, which costs $40.- 000 a gram.

Completion of this machine, s cyclotron, the second of its kind in existence. was announced here to- night. The Cornell cyclotron is al- ready in operation.

The original cyclotron, a machine which uses a $200,000 80-ton mag- net to produce 10,000,000 to 15,000.- 000-volt rays, was made by Dr. E. O. Lawrence, at the University of California.

His assistant in that work, Dr. M. Stanley Livingstone, built and installed the new Cornell cyclo- tron. It is a. simplified, smaller magnet ay machine, Its cheapness promises to make this new type of

y, scientific instrument available for

generaluse in medicine and atomic investigation.

The great expectations for these machines is shown by the fact that Columbia University and the Uni- versity of Rochester are both bulld- ing cyclotrons.

These machines make a good many different kinds of artificial radium. The one best known to the public is radioactive table salt. When this condiment is placed under the big magnet-ray, it be- comes temporarily radioactive. Its radium rays last for about a day at full strength. -

More interesting than salt are the many other substances, par- ticularly metnls, which can be rendered temporarily --radioactivo— which become artificial radium af- ter being trealod in a cyclotron.

Canadian Homespun In Demand

Canadian graded wools are held in high esteem by British manu- facturers, and Cl late years some foreign countries lravc shown con- siderable interest in the purchase of Canadian wool. In all the p1'O- vinces of the Dominion, however, there are still many shccp raisers who do not consign their wool for official grading and much of the wool is used in the homo. Many woollen mills in the centre of sheep-raising localities buy wool direct from the producer, and ped- lsrs and local stores barter wool for groceries and other goods. Wod dealers in cities and towns areal- so large buyers of wool. Owing to the low price paid for wool and the necessity of farmers to reducs farm expenditure. home spinning and weaving have received comm". able impetus in late years. and it in estimated that every year nearly 5.000.000 pounds of wool produced in Canada is spun and svoven at home on the farms, particularly for winter wear. Many Canadian mills are large users of Canadian wool, Nlwtlllly those manufacturing yarns and articles of wearing ap- parel such as suits, overccats, mitts, socks. macklnaws and blankets. At the some time, Canadian wool must b0 kept lite from seeds and chaff a it is to bring the highest price. Too little attention is paid to this

“LOVE” HAS GONE ' UT OF THE VERS OF U.S. WOMEN PORTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 15—Cupid took a staggering blow on the jaw to- day from United states women poets-in leap year, of all times.

Oi 1,652 poems in the "Contem- porary Women Poets" anthology just. published. only 82 deal prim- arily with love-the sweet mystery life or what have you, which makes the world go ‘round.

Instead, many of the 1,311 women represented wrote about such workaday subjects as the drought in Arkansas. One lyric is sub-titled, "A Rhyme of the Relief Adminis- tration," and another tells what its author hopes to accomplish by her vote.
