Hurl Zep Models
Through Space at
200 Miles an Hour
Seek to Discover
Cause of Disasters
AKRON.—A two-ton revolving
arm which hurls twelve-foot zep
pelin models through space at 200
miles an hour was exhibited to the
experts attending the lighter
than-air craft forum at the Daniel
Guggenheim Airship institute here.
The giant whirling arm—as long as
the average city block is wide—is de¬
signed to make accurate tests on zep
pejin models to check where the great¬
est strains .occur in times of severe
Storms; times of disasters like that
which caused the crash of the Akron
off New Jersey.
/The 12-foot-long model zeppelins,
whirled round and round by the de¬
vice, have 60 small holes drilled in
them from the extreme nose to the
tall. Separate rubber tubes are con¬
nected to each hole and the 60 tubes
run through the hollow, whirling arm
back to three-score manometers, which
indicate the air pressure at each given
hole In the hull.
The long glass tubes of the mano¬
meters centain red fluid whose relative
heights give an accurate picture to the
research scientists of the pressure
forces distributed along the model’s
hull. As a final automatic touch, a
photographic film' passes behind the
tubes and makes a permanent record
of the heights at ..one minnte intervals
for each one-sixtieth of the model’s
length.
Knowledge gained from the tests will
be applied to the construction of future
airships to make them more sturdy at
the points where they experience the
greatest strains.
The two-ton whirling arm which
makes 200-mile-an-hour speeds possible
is mounted 10 feet off the floor of the
laboratory on a huge concrete and steel
base weighing four tons.
The arm resembles nothing so much
as the old-fashioned horse-powered feed
mill, which applied the elementary prin¬
ciple of hitchiug a horse to a long pole,
made fast to the upright drive shaft of
the mill, and walking the horse round
in a circle. .
Japanese Beetles Are
More Numerous Than
They Were Last Year
The Japanese beetle season is
now at its peak. Although the
first beetles of the season were
found about a week later than
usual this year, warm sunny weather
during July helped the foliage de¬
stroyers to catch up to the schedule.
Resident's of parts of New Jersey
and Pennsylvania where the beetles
were first discovered in 1916 will be
pleased to learn that the beetles are
becoming less numerous In these lo¬
calities.
Unfortunately this cannot be said
of other areas, for in general the
pests are more numerous this year
than usual. They appear to be slowly
spreading throughout the East in spite
of valiant efforts on the part of gov¬
ernment entomologists to check them.
Large metropolitan areas of New
York. Philadelphia. Wilmington, and
Baltimore are one field of noticeable
expansion for the beetles this year.
They are being found there in city
streets and parks, as well as subur¬
ban residential sections. Other points
outside the area of continuous infes¬
tation report noticeable damage for
the first time.
This year’s Increase was expected
by entomologists, because of favorable
weather conditions last summer.
One annoying feature of the beetle
season occurring during the past few
weeks was the sudden invasion of New
Jersey beaches from the Atlantic high
lands and Sea Bright to Manasquan.
How to Tell Whether
You’ll Pass in Algebra
WEST NEWTON, PA.—Math¬
ematicians of life insurance com¬
panies compute life tables which
can show you your chances of sur¬
vival at any age.
Now an educator has computed such
a table showing the chances of a boy
or girl for survival of high school
studies, based on mental age.
Tell me the boy’s Intelligence quoti¬
ent (mental age compared with chrono¬
logical age), says Dr. Claude Mitch¬
ell, superintendent of schools here, and
I can tell you what are his chances
for flunking in English or Algebra.
Here is his table;
IQ over 106—Chances for passing in
English, 12 out of 14. Chances for
passing In algebra, 19 out of 20.
IQ 80 to 100—Chances 1 out of 2 on
English, 1 out of 3 on algebra.
IQ 75 or lower—Chances zero on
both subjects.

Gigantic Natural
Refrigerator Plant
Expect Thousands of
Tons of Dry Ice Daily
SAN FRANCISCO.—Nature
has provided raw material for a
gigantic refrigeration plant by the
side of one of the greatest outdoor
hothouses for winter fruits and
vegetables in the world—the Im¬
perial and Coachella valleys of
southern California. Huge reserves of
natural carbon dioxide gas, from which
is made “dry ice,” have been located
under the torrid Salton Sea basin of
southern California, according to a
report of the American Chemical so¬
ciety.
One thousand tons of “dry ice” can
be produced each day at one location
on Mullet island alone, according to
Thomas B. Slate, pioneer construction
engineer in that field. The natural
pressure of 230 pounds to the square
inch reduces the artificial pressure nec¬
essary to turn the pure carbon dioxide
into its solid “dry ice" form, and can
sequently the cost is much less, esti¬
mated by Mr. Slate at $10 per ton.
Almost limitless possibilities in the
field of household refrigeration, air con¬
ditioning, railway refrigeration, and
dairy technique are seen. Located as
they are on the transcontinental line
of the Southern Pacific, the gas fields
open new possibilities for the cheap
refrigeration of the vast tonnages of
fruits and vegetables shipped eastward
across the continent every year. Not
only does “dry ice” provide an ideal
cooling agent, according to Prof. G.
Ross Robertson, of the University of
California at Los Angeles, but the pure
gas itself, introduced into a closed and
sealed freight car, creates an insulat¬
ing “blanket” which does not readily
conduct the outdoor heat
Scientists are at a loss to explain the
extreme purity of the Salton gas.
shown by tests to range from 99.1 to
99.6 per cent pure carbon dioxide.
There is no unpleasant inter-mixture of
hydrogen sulphide, better known as “rot¬
ten egg” gas because of its similarity
in odor to aging eggs. Like most nat¬
ural carbon dioxide, it is probably made
by the action of oxidized sulphur on
natural mineral carbonates such as
limestone. In this case, purification
is effected far below the surface by
some unknown process.
Although discovered some three years
ago, no reduction of gas pressure has
been noted, indicating that almost lim¬
itless amounts of the gas are stored.
Dr. Dwight Roberts, California geo¬
logist, estimates that about 35,000,000,
000 cubic feet of the gas are already
stored, capable of yielding nearly a
1,000,000 tons of “dry ice.”
"Experience in Mexico has shown
that carbon dioxide wells may run at
full bias: for years without diminution,
all of which suggests renewed supplies
by chemical action deep below the sur¬
face,” said Professor Robertson.
Would Criminal Catch
Leprosy to Disguise
Telltale Fingerprints?
Would a desperate criminal be
willing to contract leprosy in or¬
der to escape the law?
Dr. Leonidio Ribeiro, director
of the bureau of identification in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, has made public
research which raises this question
for crime detectors. He gave convinc¬
ing proofs, with photographs, that fin¬
gerprints of persons with leprosy
change so greatly from what they were
before the illness that they are use¬
less for purposes of identification.
Doctor Ribeiro’s investigations were
carried on in the colony for lepers in
Curupaity, Jacarepagua, Rio de
Janeiro. Of 200 cases examined for
his report, 80 per cent were found
to have changed fingerprints after the
onset of the disease. The number ex¬
amined included both men and women.
In non-leprous persons, white streaks
were found in 10 per cent of those in¬
vestigated. In lepers, he found that
70 per cent had these white lines.
These lines so changed the papilliary
pattern that the prints no longer made
identification by the fingerprint method
possible. Changes were not caused by
scar tissue, mutilation, ulceration or
atrophy, but were found in lepers with
apparently normal finger tips. After
treatment the designs In many cases
reverted to normal.
It is estimated that there are more
than five million lepers in the world.
In this leper population there may be
many thousand criminals who, if their
crimes were committed before the on¬
set of their disease, could never be
identified by their finger prints.
British “Radium Hen”

of scholastic ability; they are key

Harder work and more study are
not panaceas In every case of scho¬
lastic failure. Some students have
only a limited mental capacity; be
yond a certain point. Increased study
is of no value because of actual in¬
ability to assimilate and correlate
knowledge. While such students can
obtain fair or even good grades If
they are carrying a light load of work
they are almost certain to fail if they
are forced to carry a heavy schedule.
It is better to lighten the scholastic
load and allow a pupil of this type
to take an extra half year or several
summer school sessions, if necessary,
to complete his' high school work
than to make him' struggle on to fail¬
ure and the development of • sense
of inferiority under an intolerable
load.
