ELECTRIC CHARGE IN ELECTION

charges on minute oil "droplets."
These droplets are so small that the
effect of gravity causes them to fall
only a quarter of an inch in 10
seconds.
In the formation of these small
drops with an atomizer occasionally
one becomes charged by friction, |. e.,
il may carry an additional electron.
IF then the droplet is between two
electrically charged plates 1T will be-
have differently from the unchanged
PARTICLES, DR.. Hull stated. Those
which are not charged will fall. The
charged particles will be attracted to
the. positive plate. By the use of
the proper voltage between the plates,
these charged particles can be made
to fall more slowly, held stationary,
or caused to move upward. If two
electrons, instead of one, are held by
the droplet, the effect is doubled.
Measurements made by this method
give the value of the electronic
charge very exactly. In recognition
of the importance of this work, the
Nobel prize in science for last year
was awarded to Prof. Millikan.
Also Measure Charge.
Doctors Hull and williams have
measured the charge of the electron
in different way, by means of the
Schrot effect, and have opened a field
for research which promises to add
to the knowledge regarding the cleo
tron and its properties.
1t was not such a long time ago
that the electron was unknown, the
speaker declared. First scientists had
the molecule, itself so small that
mans ability ever to see even one
of the largest may seriously be
doubted. Then came the atom, the
minute integral part of the molecule.
For long time the atom was con-
sidered as the ultimate particle of
matter. But each element. presents
a different atom. Science was not
content to rest. 1t sought to connect
all phenomena, and the electron was
the result.
1t was discovered that all matter
is composed of electrons, the differ
ent substances resulting from the diff
ferent properties possessed by the
atoms according to the number and
arrangement of the electrons they
contain.

NEW YORK, November Claw
yers clashed yesterday in the $82,-
O00 900 accounting suit of the Gould
estate over the measure of RESPONSE
bility assumed by Frank Gould in
countersigning a check for S1,500,00
at the direction of his brother George.
Counsel for Frank Gould held that
his client signed the check under Or
ders, and was, therefore, not to be
considered as having thereby given
his assent to expenditure of the
money 1t was said that Frank was
only 26 years old at the time and was
working in the office of the estate to
learn the business
William Wallace, Of counsel for the
estate. replied: Il don't see how any
man in his right senses could sign a
check for $1,500.000 and not know
what he was doing"
The check in question was a pay
ment in a transaction Involving ap-
proximately 100000 in Colorado
Fuel and Iron, in participation with
John d. Rockefeller, sr, which, 1t
was charged, George Gould began as
personal investment and turned
over to the estate only when he found
there would be loss. Mr.. Walker
denied this, alleging that the invest
ment had been an estate matter from
the outset.

MEASURE MONDAY
Presentation of Resolution for
Signature on Opening Day of
Congress Is Rare.

AS soon as Congress convenes on
Monday there will be a resolution
waiting to be presented to the Presi-
dent for his signature. At no time
in recent years. and never SO far as
hasty search has revealed, has Con-
greSs been SO quick to present a
measure to the Chief Executive for
his approval. 1t is extremely un-
usual for Congress to pass d resolu-
ton in one session and hold it over
till the next session before it is sent
to the White House for final action,
but that is exactly what happened
in this case.
The resolution provides for making
arrangements for participation by
the United States in fittingly pre-
tentious celebration of the bi-cen-
tennial of the birth of George Wash
ington, in 1882. He was, born in
1892.
This resolution was introduced in
the Senate by Senator Simeon D.
Fess. Republican, of Ohio, and in the
House by Representative r. Walton
Moore, Democrat, of Virginia. The
latter claims George Washington as
one of his constituents, as he repre-
sents the district in which Mount
Vernon, the home of Washington, is
located

The Moore resolution pro-
vides for the appointment of a COM
mission of 10, TO serve without pay
to make arrangements for the cele-
bration. This commission would be
headed by the President of the
United States and other members
would be the presiding officer in the
Senate, the Speaker of the House
eight members appointed by the
President, four appointed by the
President pro-tempore of the Senate
four appointed by the Speaker of the
House.
1t carries authorization for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to meet the
necessary expenses of the commits
sion.
1t is hoped that by early organiza.
ton of this commission that a ma
tion-wide celebration may be plan
ned. Many persons have advanced
the suggestion that as the eelebra-
ton will not be for seven years, il
may be possible to establish a great
permanent memorial to Washington
by construction of a memorial boule'
ward from the city he founded to his
home at Mount Vernon.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, November 2s.-
Experiments by which scientists have
been able to listen to the movement
Of electrons, the smallest particles
of all matter. were described here
today by DR.. A w. Hull of the re-
search laboratory of the General
Electric Company, at the annual
meeting of the American Physical
Society.
The vacuum tube amplifer, in
which the amplification is carried to
a thousand fold, and with
which a million fold can be reached,
makes thsi possible, DR.. Hull stated.
The sound produced by the electrons
is caused by bombardment of the
plate by electrons. released from the
hot filament. 1t Is these electrons
which carry the current and which
make the operation of the tube pos
sible. The noise is therefore fun
damental property of electron ennis
sion, characteristic of the electron,
according to DR.. Hull. The expert
ments have been conducted jointly
by DR.. Hull and DIR. H. H. williams
of the University of Michigan, at the
university.
Can Produce Roar.
The noise, due to the electrical os-
cillation which is set up by the i'm
pacts of the individual electrons on
the plate, is known as the Schrot ef-
feet. The energy of each blow is
extremely minute, but, like rain
drops, the energies of the many in
dividual impacts add, and their sum
becomes very large. With sufficient
amplifvation, DR.. Hull stated, the
blows, may produce a roar like that

The election is the unit charge of
electricity and the determination of
it's value is of the utmost Importance.
The oil drop method, devised by Prof.
Millikan in the physics laboratory
of the University of Chicago, gave
science its first accurate measure
ments of the charge of the electron.
Accurate as the experiments are,
however, 1t Is desirable that they be
checked by some independent method.
Millikan's method of measuring the
charge of an electron Is based on the

SAVING TO PUBLIC
AIM Of CONFERENCE
Wholesale and Manufactur-
ing Interests to Consider
Reducing Production Costs.

Representatives of retail. whole
sale and manufacturing interests will
meet in Washington in January to
consider all the factors entering into
distribution of merchandise from the
producer to the consumer, in an ef-
fort to find a means of cutting down
expenses in this field with ultimate
saving to the public.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, in announcing plans
for the conference today, said the
undertaking was the first of it's kind
from the point of view of the dis
tributor. 1t will be in charge of the
chambers department of domestic
distribution, and various phases of
the investigation into such costs.
which some investigators have held
represent about one-half Of the price
paid for various articles by the con-
sumner, will be intrusted to repre-
sentative committees of business men
and economists.
Topic for Final Conference.
Recommendations of these commit
tees, it was stated. will be taken up
at a final conference of merchandise
distributors with a view to mapping
Il definite course of action.
Few subjects relating to what is
called business are of so great inter-
est to the average man or woman as
what happens in the spread of price
between producer and consumer"
said the announcement.
Periods of high prices bring about
an insistent demand that the public
shall be shown why the cost of ar
tcles. generally speaking, should be
doubled, or even trebled, between
producer and the consumer. There
are very good reasons why this situ-
alton should be uppermost in the
mind of the average person, since the
cost of living is about 60 per cent
above that prevailing in 1913.
THE complaint does not stop there.
Profits not only seem too large, but
the public suspects that too many peo-
pie are getting them, and it is eagerly
trying to arrive at an understanding
of distribution comparable, at least,
to the understanding which the pub
lie has of production
Unable to Make Defense.
While bankers, insurance companies
and manufacturers are provided with
the means for studying their common
problems of cost and methods, it was
explained, distributors of merchan-
disc, as single body, when faced
with problems common TO all large
groups of business men, ARE found
least able to defend themselves from
unjust charges or to escape from
many of the conditions which form
an obstruction to the most efficient
merchandising practices"
In this connection the Department
noted that owners OF establishments
employed in distribution constitute
the largest single class of business
men in the country, numbering not
less than 100000.
'As practical results of the con-
templated survey, 1t is possible" the
statement said, that material saw
ings may be accomplished by reduc-
ing the amount and number of fail
ures throughout all industry by re-
ducing the costs of doing business
and the ultimate price to the con-
sumer, and by placing the distributor
in a better relation to his customers"
