America Can Now Make Optical Glass

large quantities of excellent glass and
several Of the large optical manufac-
turers had built plants of their own.
But no lenses much over inches could
then be made here for the production
of large lenses is a branch by itself
requiring special care.
Optical glass is made in pots hold
ing thousand pounds each, and if
the pot is cooled to room tempera-
ture within few days the glass will
break into many small pieces. These
cannot be welded together, so the lens
cannot be larger than the largest
piece. If several weeks are taken for
the cooling of the pot the glass may
come out in one big piece, but great
care is required in the making in
order that this large piece may be suf-
ficiently free from defects to be used
as a single lens.
The lens is nodded to Yearly the
proper form and is ground to the cor
rect shape as exactly as is possible
with the best of measuring instru-
ments. But the final finishing must
be done by hand and all errors of as
much as millionth of an inch cor
rected. The surface is carefully pol.
ished with rouge, little here and a
little there, until tests show 1t to be
correct. n

Society Awaits White House Program

dates the White House has perempted.
Miss Mary Randolph, who has been
serving Mrs. Coolidge temporarily, has
turned things over to Miss Harlan,
probably with sigh of relief. Miss
Randolph is Washington woman who
had occasionally helped out when Mrs.
Coolidge needed a social secretary
during the two seasons she has been
in Washington. She was not in very
good health and Mrs. Coolidge, regard
ing her as a personal friend, was glad
to accept her help when she volun-
teered Immediately after the Coolidges'
hasty return last August. -'
So far, whatever else may be said. of
him, all Washington will tell you that
Calvin Coolidge is the most domestic
President who ever has occupied the
White House.
In the first three months Of his
presidency he has not attended a
single movie or theater, not even a
ball game; he has not accepted a
single social invitation, and has dined
out only once at small informal din
ner, not to be dignified by the term
party" with personal friends, since
he came to the White House. He Is
up and ready for business at six
o'clock, and usually in bed by ten.
There's fine example of the simple
life in high places for you!

International War Against Criminals

officials of each nation would cooper
ate with the officials Of all others in
the detection and arrest of criminals
wherever found. Extradition would
be handled through the foreign offices,
as at present, but with less red tape.
Said Mr.. Holland:
For some time here in the Depart
ment of Justice we have experienced
the need of a dependable bureau of
criminal Identification. We have many
records at Leavenworth, Kan, but
what we need is an Identification or
ganization which not only would serve
our ends in this country but abroad as
well, with the cooperation of foreign
authorities. The bureau which we
contemplate and which I am certain
will receive the approval of the incom-
ing congress is to be on a much more
elaborate scale than anything Of the
kind now in existence.
"The plan contemplates direct ex-
change of information between our
own and foreign agencies having to
do with the administration of justice !;
in nutshell, the establishment Of q
close uaison."

Panama Canal Traffic Grows Steadily

led to a period of widespread CONNER
cial stagnation wherein cargo offer
ings reached a low ebb and a large
proportion Of the tonnage of all mari
time nations was withdrawn from serv-
ice..
"In all this period, however, except
for temporary depression, traffic
through the canal has shown a con-
sistent increase. The largest increase
has been in vessels of United States
registry, resulting from the increase
in the intercoastal trade. The in
creased intercoastal trade in turn is
largely due to the development Of he
California oil fields and the conse-
quent heavy movement Of tanker tom
mage through the canal, which only
during the past year has become an
important factor in canal traffic.
Here are sample figures on CONNER
cial vessels:
1914-15-Vessels, 1911; cargo tom
mage, 1851, 1885; tolls, S5,171,757.
1919-20-Vessels, $3.50; cargo tom
mage, 9,S39,91S; tolls. SS,965,S42.

WASHINGTON If Wash
~ ington keeps up the pres
ent pace, with normal ac-
celebration as the season
advances, it will be "going some" by
the first of December, when the Off
cial world considers itself "all set"
for the winter.
Miss Laura Harlan, who was Mrs.
Harding's social secretary, and is Mrs.
Coolidge's, has returned from Murray
bay, whittier she betook herself about
the time that Mrs. Harding left town,
for belated vacation. She had just
reached the Harlan family's summer
quarters there when the news of the
Presidents sudden passing brought
her flying back to Washington to be of
the greatest possible service in the
emergency it precipitated. She stayed
on detailed by Mrs. Coolidge to do
everything she could to aid and COM
fort Mrs. Harding up to the time of
the latter's departure for Marion.
Now she is back and 1t is assumed

be counted the cash brought into the
country by newly arriving immigrants,
though this would be more than off
set by cash carried out of the country
by emigrants and currency sent by
mail.
Figures compiled by the commits
sioner of immigration give money
brought in by immigrants in 1922 as
$30,0OO,0OO. This, however, is an I'M
reinstatement, since the immigrant Is
not required to state the amount In
his possession in excess of $50.
Immigrants renittances have de-
clined for many reasons. Many have
brought their families over; others
have themselves gone home. The
new immigration law has reduced the
number of men who come here to
work for a brief period only, leaving
their families behind. Moreover, the
need for relief in Europe Is not so
great. Nevertheless, the amount of
immigrants remittances is still twice
as large as in the period before the
war;"

teries are on charge no spray OF fumes
are noticeable in the room.
Terminals.
Each terminal of each battery comes
out TO the blade of single-pole double
throw switch mounted on the vertical
supports of the tray. The lower ter
minals of all positive terminal switches
are connected together, the same be-
ing true of the negative terminal
switches. BY throwing all of the
switches downward. the batteries are
placed in parallel either for obtaining
100 volts or for charging from the no.
volt direct current mains. The bat
teries are connected directly to the
110-volt mains through small fuses
when charging. The upper terminals
of the switches are connected In
series, positive to negative, and have
suitable binding posts attached to each
pair of switch terminals for the wires
from the radio frequency generator.
By a suitable throwing of switches any
voltage from 100 to 600 may be OBJ
tanned with these batteries. The volt
age obtained of course depends on the
number of trays. When operating the
larger electron tube, three of the bat
teries may be in use while the other
three are being charged.
Quite a number of these batteries
have been used by the radio laboratory
of the bureau of standards and they
have been entirely satisfactory for sup
plying a small constant current such
orators. To obtain best results the
batteries must be given some attention
TO see that the jars are kept filled with
distilled water to a height somewhat
above the top of the plates and are
charged from time to time. How often
the batteries are charged depends on
how much they are used. 1t Is prefer
able to charge them oftener and keep
them well charged than to use them
TO the limit, charging them only at wide
intervals or when nearly run down.
The trays should be washed out once
in two or three weeks with clean wa
ter to remove any collected acid or
dirt.
Maintenance.
AS has been previously stated, stor.
age batteries of this general type
(using same type of elenent) have
been in use in the radio laboratory for
over four years. While no definite
data have been collected to show the
useful life Of such high-voltage bat
teries, some very conservative esti-
mates may be given. The life Of such
batteries is greatly influenced by the
care afforded them. Good care in
cludes keeping the jars and wax free
of acid spray and dust; keeping jars
properly filled; keeping within the
proper ampere-hour charge and dis
charge rate; and if batteries are not
normally used at the specified dis
charge rate, they should be exercised
about every two weeks by discharging,
through a resistance, at the proper dis
charge rate and then recharged. Bat
/ teries of this type which have been
given proper attention have been in
use for over four years and are yet
quite serviceable. Others have gone
to ruin in six months for want of care.

the United States bureau OF
standards, the Department Of Com
merce announces. The difficulties of
securing a good enough piece of glass
increases greatly as the size increases,
the government experts say, and the
production of Pinch lenses having
combined focal length of II feet 3
inches represents a marked advance
over what was possible in America
few years ago. 1t is considered only
a question Of time, however, before
much larger lenses can be made at
the bureau of standards, according to
experts.
In discussing the significance Of the
accomplishment, DR.. G. X. Burgess,
director of the bureau of standards,
stated that until the beginning of the
war in 1914 the art of making optical
glass was unknown in this country,
all glass used here being imported
from Europe. When the European
supply was cut off, the bureau of
standards began research looking to-
ward the development Of the industry

ANAMA CANAL, which COM
pleted nine years of opera
ton on August IA, has shown
steady increase in tonnage
handled, ship transits, and tolls in
that time. The last year has been
marked by an almost uninterrupted
succession of record months, where
the shipping of practically all OF the
leading maritime nations routed
through the canal has shown healthy
increase. In the nine years of opera
ton. 2O.474 commercial vessels passed
through the canal. They bore S4,2S4,-
474 tons of cargo.
Commenting on the first years of
operation, the Canal Record says:
.The canal was opened to commercial
traffic shortly after the beginning of
the war in Europe. The war and the
Interruptions of traffic due to slides,
the last serious one of which came to
an end on April 10, 1916, interfered
with the normal use Of the canal in
earlier years. These years were fol-
lowed by a period of scarcity of ton

industrial uncertainties, which in turn

BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

! Please advise me what you think
| is the trouble and how to rem
edy it.
The sample of alfalfa sent to us
was so dried up when it was received
| that it was not sufficiently natural
to enable one to judge satisfactorily
| as to its color. We judge it, how
ever, to have been originally yellow
in appearance, and we imagine that
you found no nodules on the roots.
The nodules to which l refer are
little white excrescences which nor
mally form on the roots of legumln-
Gus crops. In these little nodules
reside bacteria which give the plant
the power to assimilate atmospheric
nitrogen from the air. When alfal-
| ia plants develop without these
| nodules, their ability to gather nitro
gen from the air is cut out. AS
rule, therefore, they turn yellow
and often shrivel up and die. Alfal-
! ia, as you doubtless know, is plant
which requires a large amount of
nitrogen. 1t was very great mis-
! take not to ino2ulates the seed be-
! fore you planted them. The only
thing that you could possibly do
! that is likely to be or any DeneIlt
would be to secure several hundred
pounds of earth from field where
the alfalfa is healthy and growing
vigorously. This earth should be
very literally scattered over the
whole field, but applied heavily to
those sections where the alfalfa is
small. Harrow it well into the
ground. 1t would be quite all right
| for you to use 700 pounds of earth
per acre in the manner indicated.
This is the only practical sugges-
ton we can offer you relative to
remedying the condition about which
you write. On many occasions, 1t
| has been necessary to pillow up the
alfalfa and reseed it, There is no
| Ieguminous crop which is grown
in the south which is so sensitive
about the matter OF incubation as
alfalfa.
