RAILROADS OF
GERMANY ARE
TAKEN OVER
BERLIN,' Dec. 4 (by Associated
Press).—The new transportation min
istry, under Minister Bell, recently
went into effect, and not later than
April 1, 1921, all railroads, river, land
and water transportation of Germany
will be combined under government
control. Minister Bell will have charge
of every detail and every feature of
the complicated system except the
posts.
The chief tasks of the ministry will
be the financial settlement, concern- j
ing the basic capital invested of 20,-1
000,000,000 marks, and a personnel of
about a million men. How this shall!
be done will be decided by commit
tees composed of members from all
the individual states that hitherto
have had railroad systems,
The plan of campaign will be, first,
to settle financial matters so that
each state gets its due share, and then
to rearrange and reform the employes
and officials so they will fit into the
new national system.
The government has decided to
solve the employe question by direct
conference with employes’ organiza
tions.
The matter of combining the water
connections with the railroads so that
there may be a maximum of economy
and efficiency in their co-operation is
still another problem to be solved.
Airship and automobile matters also
will be a part of the new transporta
tion ministry. The airplane and auto
mobile traffic have hitherto been un
der a bureau for air and motor trans
portation, but this bureau will be ab
sorbed by the transportation ministry.
NEW METAL ALLOY AS
PLATINUM SUBSTITUTE
ITRBANA, 111., Dec. 4 (by Associ
ated Press).—A new metal alloy that
can be substituted for platinum or
gold where acid-resisting metaals are
required has been discovered by Prof.
S. W. Parr of the department of chem
istry of the University of Illinois. The
new alloy, which Professor Parr has
named 'Tllium” in honor of the uni
versity, costs approximately 25 cents
an ounce, whereas the cost of plati
num recently was $140 an ounce and
gold $40 an ounce.
The first mixture of illium was made
in April, 1917. This was not entirely
satisfactory, but early in the next
year a 50 per cent standard of suc
cess was obtained. Now a piece of
the metal has been kept in acid for
six months while the acid has been
made hot and cold, diluted and con
centrated, and the metal has shown
no sign of change.
Last year it was us^L with marked
success and the calorimeter bombs
used in measuring the heat units in
coal, ivhich the government has or
dered in large quantities, now con
tain illium instead of platinum. Other
alloys, it is said, have been found too
brittle, and can be cast but not ma
chined like illium.
