'of the 91chemists Society of France, insists he has obtained ten millij grams of gold, good, red gold, by a process of his own discovery. Not only does this present-day-follower of Roger Bacon, Raymond Hall and Thomas A. Quinas issue a challenge to the chemists and physicists to verify his formula. but follows it with a complete publication of it. The formula is as follows: Six grams of silver, absolutely free of all trace of gold; two grams of sulphur and antimony; one gram of orpiment; one gram of chemically pure tin. Subject the mixture to a heat of 1,100 degrees centigrade' and bathe it in nitric acid and aqua regia." This, according to the alchemist, will be productive of ten grams of good gold. "The result is indisputable,” Jollivet-Castelot said. "I estimate the amount of gold obtained at ten milligrams. "Tlie tjn which T include In the formula I did not use in my experi-

ment. but it is certain that its use will increase the amount of gold obtainable. "I believe I have found the key to the regular and industrial manufacture of gold.” The alchemist said he submitted his formula to the scientists of several nations and that some of them have sent back testimonials confirming his belief that at last he has found the philosopher's stone. The Academy of Sciences of France, however, has refused to give serious attention to the alchemist's formula. RADIO CONNECTS POLES Byrd Party in Antarctic, Hears Hobbs Group 12,000 Miles Away. OSLO.

UNEMPLOYMENT QUIZ EXPECTED AFTER CENSUS Hoover Says He Hopes to Study Problems of Jobless. By Bcriwx-Hotrnrd \etcspnper AUianrr WASHINGTON. June 28.—President Herbert Hoover will call a conference on unemployment as soon as the unemployment census returns are in, it is believed here. Labor, newspaper of the railway organizations, today quotes a letter from Hoover to J. C. Lewis, president of the lowa State Federation

of Labor. <in which the President says: “I believe it desirable that an exhaustive inquiry- should be made into the subject (unemployment). I am in hopes that, when some of the momentarily pressing problems of the administration are out of the way, we will be able to take it up.” Lewis had written the President inclosing a resolution adopted by the annual convention of the lowa federation in which Hoover was requested to call in conference “outstanding men and women conversant with the needs of various groups to the end that the growing army of the unemployed, due to the encroachments of the machine age, may be given permanent relief.” Inasmuch as the 1930 census will give data on unemployment by order of congress, it is thought unlikely that any conference will be called until that data is tabulated, probably about a year from now.

TIRE PRICES TO TREBLE IN 1930, BRITONASSERTS Blames Appalling Waste of Rubber, U. S. Experts Scout Prophecy. BY KENNETH WATSON, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 28.—Department of commerce officials are taking little stock in the prediction made by Lionel Rapson, British tire manufacturer, that- within the next

year prices will be treble those of today. Rapson is quoted in the India Rubber Journal, a London publication, as predicting that rubber will reach SI a pound before the end of the present year, basing his conclusion on his opinion that an appalling waste in rubber is caused by the scrapping of thousands of perfectly good tires before they have rendered full mileage. “These statements are mentioned as indicative merely of one line of British thought which deserves consideration. A more subdued optimism is expressed by numerous planters who are encouraged by the high rate of rubber consumption during the past months of heavy rubber shipments from the east, but who are doubtful as to whether consumption will be maintained and. to some extent, doubtful whether

production in the east has not been underestimated.” E. G. Holt, chis f of the rubber division of the department, said today. American tire prices today have reached the lowest level of' any time since the war. but government 'officials doubt that there is w*ste such as pictured by Rapson. The American manager of one of the nation's largest tire manufacturers pointed out that although motorists are discarding tires for new ones before they are entirely worn out. rather than paying for repairs, that the rubber in them is not being wasted. “All of the rubber is being reclaimed for making other rubber articles so there is not the waste that the English manufacturer pictures,” this official said. There are more than 1.300 news- | papers printed in foreign languages t in the United States.
