Producing Helium. THE cathode ray, having properties similar to radium, offers a method of producing helium. Helium is produced when radium disintegrates, and hel ium also results when certain gases and substances are exposed, or bombarded with cathode rays. The cathode ray causes disintegration of certain substances, and during the disintegration of the substances, electrons unite and form helium. Synthetic Elements. WE know that elements are simply the combination of electrons, and it is only a step further to produce electrons and combine them in the proper manner to produce the element desired. It may me possible to do this by constructing a cathode ray projector, operating the projector at different frequencies and voltages, directing the rays from one projector on the rays from another projector, and bombarding the converging rays of the projectors with By the above method we may be able to create, or build up elements directly from electrical energy, or, in other words, we will be turning electrical energy to solids. A large cathode ray projector supplied with several thousand votls and the maximum of frequency will produce a ray powerful enough to penetrate several feet of lead, and would be powerful enough to disintegrate substances, or transmute elements. In transmuting, or building up elements, it is only necessary to add to, or drive off, electrons. The utilizing of the cathode ray, or projecting of negative electrons, will soon solve some of the mysteries of elemental creation, and set a new pace in scientific research. In giving out the above facts, and advancing the theories herein, it is my hope to interest scientifically inclined experimenters along this line volt . i i i !

I think it is possible that the cathode ray will do all that radium will do. It is less expensive to experiment with, and offers great opportunities for discoveries far more wonderful and profitable than radio. I reserve the patented rights to the utilizing of the cathode ray to produce helium, and the method of using elecand Catron tubes to operate thode ray projectors. In 'the dark the cathode ray appears like a purple glow. It is the most powerful ray known, therefore, in experimenting with it, one must be .very careful and never let the rays come in contact with the body. Keep as far away from the projector as possible when it is in operation. X-r- ay MUSSOLINI now holds seven cabinet jobs and is now a cabinet majority in himself. The Italian slogan ought to be As Mussolini goes, so goes the nation. first meeting of the pardons The board will be held January 19, when eighteen convicts will ask for clemency and plead for their liberty. If the pardons board investigated the crimes and made the criminals serve the maximum penalty instead of allowing the criminals to apply for pardon at the expiration of the minimum sentence, the people would be for the board. As it is the people have tired of seeing criminals turned loose and the present legislature will be asked to change the present law doing with indeterminate sentences and the pardons board. We have no use for either. They are all in favor of the criminal. When rapers can get away with a few months in our jails it is time to call a halt. The Nelson girl has paid the price of our former leniency. JAMES A. Stump was chosen presiding judge at a meeting of city judges-eleThursday evening. Assignment of judges in the following order was made: Cliff F. Dal-b- y will take the bench vacated by Judge N. H. Tanner in criminal division; Daniel Harrington will succeed Judge Gaylen S. Young in the civil division; Judge Stump will succeed Judge John H. Morgan in the other branch of the criminal division, commonly called the police court, and Judge Nephi Jensen, incumbent, who now sits on the bench in the second branch of the civil division, will retain that post pending outcome of the election contest instituted against him by Judge W. H. Wilkins, Democrat. The city judges will take the oath of office at noon Monday, January 7. It may be administered verbally by City Recorder Ethel Macdonald or in writing, for which blanks have been provided. Judge Stump explained that the assignments will rotate each year, as has been the custom in the past. ct IF PRESENT plans carry, officials of the county will be compelled to turn in their automobiles at 5 p. m. and the machines cannot be taken out of the garage until next morning when all offices open for the days business. Such a system will surely hit the joyriders hard. It will also save the county taxpayers thousands of dol- Welling that he had appoitned former Sheriff Ben R. Harries to a state job. Harries evidently courts a political job more than he does ranch life in Wyoming. By their vote the people showed they were through with him. CHARLES T. PRISK has been named chief deputy treasurer by A. Edsel Christensen, the newly elected treasurer. Prisk has been in the cigarette department. W. M. COOMBS, of Fountain Green, has been named superintendent of the cigarette revenue department, and is said to be an expert accountant. QUINCE Nichols has been reappointed as inspector of the cigarette revenue department. He served four years under Prisk. C. FRANK Ryan of Heber City, who served three terms as senator from the third district, has qualified for inspector of cigarette revenues. SECRETARY of State Milton H. Welling has made several new appointments. T. F. Coombs of Box-eldcounty will be the state gasoline tax inspector. HANCHETT IS CHAIRMAN Lafayette Hanchett, presdient of the Utah Power & Light Company, was chairman of the board of directors fo the Salt Lake City branch, Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco, at the annual meeting of the board Friday. He will serve during 1929. Mr. Hanchett has been a member of the board since 1919, a year after the Salt Lake branch was established. Other members of the board are L. H. Farnsworth, chairman of the board of Walker Brothers Bankers; G. G. Wright, general manager re-elect- ed of the Consolidated Wagon & Machine Company; Charles H. Barton, president of the National Bank of Commerce at Ogden, and W. L. Part-ne- r, managing director of the local Federal Reserve Bank. The officers of the bank are W. L.

THE state board of examiners has applied to the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland for the amount found to be embezzled by David J. Pugh, who is now in the penitentiary. This is the first audit that has been made since March 28, 1924, and under such looseness it was easy for Pugh to help himself to a vast fortune. $104,-541.1- 4, GARDNER FOR SPEAKER HAMILTON GARDNER, of this city, will be the next speaker of the senate when the legislature convenes next Monday. He received the unanimous vote of the Republican members. Senator A. B.

Palmer president and Le Grand Richards vice president; Members Jasper Fletcher, Jr., second vice president, and Werner Kiepe, secretary and treasurer. W. J. Halloran addressed the board and said it was his opinion that the coming year would be a big one in the real estate business. Prospects for a growing city were never brighter and there will be a big demand for residential as well as industrial property. He said the construction of the Boulder daifi will give impetus to the growth of the state by providing another attraction to tourists and developing southern California, which is Utahs best market for raw products of all kinds.
