GREATER COPPER USE SEEN IN NEW DISCOVERY
After eight years of private research two Chicago scien
tists say they have succeeded in producing liquid copper.
According to a press dispatch they set themselves to the task
of breaking down elemental copper into a form suitable for
mixing into a paint-like substance of value in resisting cor
rosion of other metals, and they finally succeeded where
many others had failed.
Copper as a pigment in metallic paint is not new, but
the metal has always retained its crystaline structure no
matter how finely ground. The Chicago scientists, accord
ing to reliable reports, have overcome this difficulty and
produced a formless copper that when mixed in a special
liquid becomes actual liquid copper that can be immediately
used as a paint.
There appears to bo a very good chance that it will be
extensively used in ship building, particularly for protecting
the keels of wooden ships. Any exposed wood surface
when covered by this liquid copper would be impervious to
any weather conditions, it is said. Other industrial fields
where it may be profitably used are for covering iron and
steel work in bridges and the framework of buildings; for
iron pipelines that are exposed to the air or other conditions
causing corrosion, and in many other ways in both exterior
and interior structural and decorative work.
It is reasonable to assume that once this liquid copper is
placed on the market at a moderate price it will find exten
sive use in many fields not open to copper in a metallic form.
TRY IT ABOVE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Back in New York City a young lady of wealth and re
puted social position—Miss Leona Jay by name, who hints
of relationship to the historic Jays—says she is tired of the
rounds of teas, matinees and “cocktail parties” and wants
to go to the faraway places. So enthusiastic did' she get
over her idea that she inserted an ad in a New York paper
offering to join a scientific or hunting party into the,w4<^
regions and put up the money.
Bids poured into her from many places but at last re
port she had accepted none and told reporters, “I’m just
bored. No love lost—nothing like that—just tired of the
ho-hum routine. I want to get away to quiet and the far
places." She might even accompany an Eskimo if he knows
his wav around the igloo belt, she explained.
Well, if the little gal really wants quiet she might try
Alaska up above the Arctic Circle, and there probably are

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
June 6, 1935
The recent much-discussed deci
sion of the Supreme Court of the
United States created first a lull of
surprise, and then a gale of com
ment which is decreasing in inten
sity. although the sea is by no means
mirrow like and calm. According to
a handy phrase which flows tripp
ingly from the tongue, the NRA is
dead. It was rumored that the
President did not share that view
and had no intention of letting the
NRA be buried alive. Conferenc
es with leaders in Congress and
with persons versed in the law were
reported, and there were suggestions
of legislation that would keep the
act in force, at least with respect
to concerns participating in inter
state commerce. When surmise had
finished the job of making up the
President’s mind, he made up his
mind for himself. Probably he had
done so before the guess work be
gan. It now' appears that legisla
tion in the direction of keeping the
NRA in active operation will not be
urged for some time to come. There
is no trustworthy information re
garding constitutional changes which
will rehabilitate the discarded leg
islation. About all that seems to be
known is that the NRA will continue
in a curtailed form for the purpos
es of investigation, tabulating and
digesting the material it collects and
qualifying itself as an authority on
the general subject of trade regula
tion by a central federal power.
When the Normandie entered New
York harbor, 4 days, 11 hours and 42
minutes out of Southampton, she
hi'ike another Atlantic crossing re
cord, trimming approximately two
hours from the time made by the
Italian liner Rex, four years ago.
Perhaps the most noteworthy fact
brought to notice by the achieve
ment is that the perfection of hulls
and machinery is at a standstill.
That statement necessarily is true,
since records for so long a run are
broken only by a margin of an hour
or two. Nevertheless, the French
are entitled to full credit for what
they have done . They are not quite
so speedy in paying war debts. New
York City gave the liner the custo
mary noisy, metropolitan welcome.
Americans like speed and are will
ing to let bygones be bygones, for
the time being at least, in favor of
anyone who can traverse an area
of maximum width in a minimum
amount of time.
In the long reach that stretches
from Colorado to Mexico, floods and
tornadoes have been having their
way, with corresponding loss of life
and property. The seafaring man
is supposed to endure an existence
fraught with peril, yet he is the one
who seems to come out best when
the elements cut loose, and in time
of storm, the navigator’s worries in
crease as he approaches solid ground
of the coast. The sailor’s safety lies
in preparedness. By the same tok
en, government appropriations can
| not be expended more wisely than
flood control.

The mention of horseback riding at
this season of the year, is likely to
bring to mind the circumstance that
the racing season is one, to the am
usement of many, and to the disgust
of those who have picked the wrong
horse. The King of England div
erts his attention from the track for
a moment, by riding for two hours
in a parade, on his seventieth birth
day. There was a time when stur
dy patriots like Paul Revere had to
saddle in haste and post about to
warn the countryside that the Brit
ish were coming. Nowadays, the
descent of a group of Englishmen on
Boston simply would be an occasion
for a banquet, a sightseeing trip,
and the exchange of good wishes.
| The United States looks with kind
ly eye upon the monarch who, at
1 three score and ten, jogs through
London in a leisurely way on his
nag, and has for him only the fam
ous toast: May he live long and
prosper.
Italy is said to be aroused over
the killing of a score of her troops
in Africa. Aroused is not exactly
the right word to employ. It may be
that there is more quiet in Italy at
one time than at another, but that
land has had no chance for a good
