Science and research. Mineral prospecting. Speed in metallurgical analysis, to match the rapidity with which the nation arms itself, is possible through use of the spectrograph, a marvelous new machine used for study of materials through measurements of the arc of light they emit when heated. The aluminum and magnesium industries, steel companies and foundries use it for quick study of metals. Mines use it for exploration. The spectrograph will yield an analysis of seven elements in fifteen minutes determination, which would require up to four hours by old chemical methods. Three students in defense training courses at a famous mining-engineering school listen as an instructor shows them how the machine operates. Golden, Colorado

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. City fireman J.L. Clayton of Daytona Beach, Florida, turned curiosity into war production. Several years ago he became interested in molding metals, particularly brass and aluminum in his spare time and put up a one-man foundry in back of the fire station as a hobby. Now he's making cast parts for the DeLand industrial pool and turning out aluminum air raid sirens of his own invention. Clayton is pulling a newly-cast siren section out of the mold. With him is R.G. Campbell, Jr., foreman of his expanded hobby shop

Possible key metal monopoly committee's study. Washington, D.C., May 8. The temporary National Economic Committee turned its investigation today upon the little known beryllium industry. Senator Joseph O'Mahoney, Co-chairman of the Committee, is shown here with Andrew Gahagan, President of the Beryllium Corp., of Temple, Pennsylvania, examining the crude ore and a sample hammer which is made from an alloy with beryllium. Gahagan described beryllium as an element, fourth in atomic weight from hydrogen, which can be combined with copper or nickel and certain other metals, to produce alloys of extraordinary hardness, lightness, and strength. The committee suspects that the metal may become a key material in industrial and war supply problems
