They have also proved that while the gas fire warms it provides a perfect system of ventilation.

There are no fumes from the modern gas fire. There are pro- ducts of combustion, of course, as there are from any living, flame. But these products immediately pass up the chimney or flue. As they rise they cause a gentle up- ward flow of waed air from the room system of ventilation more perfect even than that of the open window. That is why a gaa-warmed room is never stuffy.

Recommendation for an inter national loan of several hundred million ounces of silver to Chiua is under consideration by the Senate Sub-Committee on Foreign Relations, it was revealed at Salt Lake City on Oct. 8, by Kev Pitt- man of Nevada, its chairman.

The loan, he said, would be a means of stabilizing oriental trade and the pacification of China.

Describing at Chicago the "mo- dern meaning of matter," Dr. W. Lee Lewis, discoverer of Lawisite gas, said the theory was no longer held that atoms are indivisible hard spheres and that the nuclei of the stom seem to be the "last stand of matter in the old sense."

Far from being a hermit, the new atom, as it is now viewed, is a little social colony, a perfect vacuumed space filled with negative electrons tearing wildly at dizzy speeds in systematic orbits about a positive

"The committee is considering the recommendation, through its report to the Senate, of a plan to pacify China, finance the Na tional Government, and place the 450,000,000 of Chinese people in the peaceful pursuits of industry rather than the destructive enter prise of war," Mr. Pittman said.
