Camera Weighing Two Tons Is Used To Examine Ordnance

LONDON. Jan. 16.-Photographs at the rate of 300,0O0 a minute-31 times as fast as those reeled off by the slow motion picture camera-are being made. at Shoeburyness, under British government auspices. The camera used in these lightning snapshots weighs two twons, and is being used by ordnance experts to examine the be- haviQr of shells and broken. armour plate.
 It has also shown clearly what hap pens to q golf ball when struck by a club head. The ball is pressed flat on one side during the 1-12OOth part of a second that the driver is in con- tact with its surface.
 An exceeding hard rubber ball, teed up and then shot at by a wooden plug projectile, acquires some curious shapes before returning quickly to the simple life of stationary sphere. When the projectile hit it, the ball was pressed into the shape of half moon. Flying through the air, it ex- banded in the direction of flight until it looks like an egg. Striking steel plate it expanded in the opposite di- rection until it had the appearance of a coin stuck on a wall. Then it re- bounced and became again a sphere.

WANT COMMERCE
 RULING AMENDED
Alabama Utility Board Points Out Frequent Conflicts With
 Federal Body
STATE CAPITAL BuREAul THE AGE-hsRALn

MontnoWefys AN.,- Je0. ID '
 Recommendations for amendment of the interstate commerce act so as to lessen conflict between state and fed eral authority in the matter of rate control are contained in a memorial addressed to United States senators and representatives in Congress by the Alabama public service commission Wednesday.
 The communication calls attention to the direct jurisdiction assumed in certain cases by the federal govern ment over interstate rates, and to the creation of what is termed a frozen rate structure" by orders of the inter- state commerce commission affecting state rates, making it necessary for persons desiring relief to go to the in- terstate commerce commission with their complaint on rates within Ala bama instead of to their own state commission.
 The famous Meridian case is cited as an example of the situation created by a decision of the interstate commerce commission, which fixed Alabama rates, and it is stated that in such a case the state commission is divested of authority and is itself compelled to apply to the interstate commission when it desires relief from rates based on decision by the federal body, which the state utilities commission is pow erless to change. An amendment to the existing law is proposed whereby, it is pointed out the whole purpose of the federal law would be accomplished and at the same time the state would retain its jurisdiction over its inter- state commerce..
 The public service commission, in it's likewise cited the feature of the law which gives carriers the right to file complaints with, the interstate commerce commission against inter- state rates, and voiced the conviction that this feature should be repealed.
 Praises Camp Kilby
 Camp Kilby is one of the most States, declared Dr. D. Louis Ireton of New York, technical expert, who has just made a thorough inspection of the plant. Dr. Ireton says he has visited 300 penal institutions throughout the dIu udS uuL OuC, tudL at St. Saltwater, Minn., as complete as Kilby prison.
 The impressive effect of color, which he says has been neglected in the con- struction of most of the institutions, was not overlooked at Kilby. The prison cells, he said, are ideally painted. However, he found the hos pital to be in need of that interior color effect, which he says has an un- deniably powerful influence upon the nerve centres. Dr. Ireton states that he has arranged with officials of the hospital to improve these conditions in the near future.
