(AP) Gold, today tjha aubject of warring eco nomic theorlea and of economic wars, la Mother Nature's problem child." She has never been able to do a thing with It. For that reason, man has. Why la gold ao precious? Why la It more valuable than a piece of Iron, a brightly-colored stone, a roadside pebble? The chemical definition doesnt help much In answering those ques tions. It is: "Oold a heavy, bright yellow metal with 4 resplendent lus tre. Symbol, au; automatic number, 79; atomic weight, 107.3." So what? The answer revert to the "prob lem child" character of gold. Ele ments have chemical properties that vest them with personalities. Gold has a definite one. It la an Ihhmael of the rocks. It resists tho effects of nature's forces winds, weathering, heat and cold. It stands alone. Gold Is anti-gregarious, unsocial, Individualistic. It shuns chemical combines. Chemtsta call It an In active metal; another name would be lethargic. Because It preserves Its entity ao well, it la usually found In an un comblned state in the rocks or gravel deposits. And If lfc la united with other metals in the ore, the rela tionship la not hard to sever. All these qualities Vila disdain toward natural Influences make gold o prized. It la leas than clay In human hands, In the pure state, It Is the most malleable and workable of metals. It can be. beaten to 0.00001 milli meter. On egram can be atretched into a wire two miles long. One ounce can be spread over 109 aquare feet. Oold Is extremely durable. Imper vious to change. It will have noth ing to do with oxygen which unites with and destroys ao many element. "Trtar'a gold in them thar hills" Is the cry that has spurred thou sands on the search for wealth.
