IAN ARABIAN NIGHT"
Weird strains Of unknown music.
Drifting through the balmy air.
Here alone amid the arabic,
Strangely fascinated by the flare.
Dirt and Squal0r all enchanted.
BY the mOOnbeam's mystic rAya.
Eyes pr0vOklngly sIanted.
Jewelliko In the mOonlit haze.
In the distance caneIs grazing,
Hills of shifting silver sand.
Always eyes with love ablazing.
In this strange and mystic land.
Palms against the moon and stars,
Waving In tho cool night air,
Richer far than kings and czars.
Dreams of beauty everywhere.
Soft velvet eyes of mystery,
Small lips so red and cnrving.
How can q Lad learn history,
With day dreams 30 disturbing?

remarkable art treaSureS-theSe are
the marvels which Washington's
latest log mansion has to offer.
The bark has not been removed
from the cedar logs. Under Canadian
conditions, cedar log houses retain
their bark surfaces indefinitely. The
evidence is that the logs will respond
similarly to the Washington climate.
The log house is rooted with cedar
shingles. A layer OF fireproofing and
insulating material was laid between
the roof boards and the shingles.
Three hundred pounds Of oakum We're
used III caulking all the cracks around
doors and windows. Metal laths were
nailed in place between the cracks in
the logs after the frame of the house
was in place. Cement, colored with
burnt ember to look like the logs. was
plastered over these metal lath strips.
The interior Of the house has been
plastered and finished in the same
way as the finest homes in Wash
ington.
The house has been built in two
sections and then combined. The
wonderful living room is 1S by 30 feet,
has a stone-faced fireplace which
takes fuel in five-foot lengths, and a
ceiling composed Of the roof rafters
and boards, which have been stained a
cedar-log color. There is a music al
cove on the level of the second floor
at one erd Of the room, the railing of
this balcony being made of rustic
logs. The mammoth fireplace, with an
external face IL feet long, and the
huge chimney are built of field stone
dug on the Jaffe property
Evening star., 1925-10-25

The main part Of the house is
60 feet long and "a feet wide. The
structure contains 10 rooms, Of
| which are on the ground floor. A din
ing alcove has been substituted for a
! formal dining room When guests
are entertained the table is spread in
| the large living room. The tiled
kitchen, with its gas range, electric
| ity, immaculate cabinet, inclosed iron
ing board and other labor-saving fea-
lures, is a culinary department gem,
quite different from the rooms that
were the cooking centerS in the old
fashioned log cabins.
An interesting feature Of the ground
| floor layout is a suite Of rooms which
| is entirely apart from the rest of the
| house. 1t consists Of two communi-
| eating bedchamberS with connecting
| bath. Each sleeping room has an in
| dividual rustic porch which overlooks
! a charming garden inclosed by rus
| tic fence made of cedar logs. On the
| second floor are spacious sleeping
| rooms and a large study, as we'll as
| DR.. Jaffe's test room," which has no
| duplicate in either the District or
Maryland. This room has rough log
sides and unfinished ceiling. Neither
| the door nor window frames are cased
up. 1t Is the study ROOM" where it's
| owner is keeping tab on the responses
| Of his log mansion to weather condi-
| tions and occupancy. If ever he no
| tees any important changes occur
| ring he will Immediately institute con-
troll measures.
DR.. Jaffe built his house with neither
! precedents nor traditions to go by
Evening star., 1925-10-25

He had to face and solve the different
problems as they arose. The test
room is his right-hand assistant in
ironing out riddles which may develop
in the future.
A six-room cabin was built at the
lower part of the spacious tract to be
used as a tenant house People who
passed that way inquired so frequent
ly whether the cabin was for rent that
DR.. Jaffe finally shifted his plans and
provided servants quarters in his
home house and leased the second
cabin. 1t Is designed for the occu-
pancy Of a young married couple, and
is so arranged that the wife can at
tend to all the housework with the
minimum of effort.
This cabin has not been plastered
inside and presents log-lined interior,
replete in the Winter color of the
forest. An inviting fireplace of field
stone Is outstanding in the large liv-
ing room, with it's lofty 1og-raftered
ceiling. Two bedrooms, two baths, a
dressing room and snug little kitchen

Atoms and EtheriOns.

KNOWING the atom is like know
ing your own automobile. You
! know its main features and its func-
| tions, but you can learn something
/ new about it each trip you make, par
| ticularly if you have been acquainted
| with it for long time. That Is the
| way the physicists are getting along
with their atom which they started
| running about 1897.
They know its main features-a
| tiny central nucleus of specks of cleo
| tricity. protons and electrons. And
! about that nucleus a few electrons
| move with incredible speed in orbits
| like planets about sun. All the pres
ent excitement among physicists has
to do with the behavior of these plane
| tary electrons. Something is always
| deranging their orbits.
Ever since Bohr, in Denmark, ad-
| vanced the theory that some of these
| orbits were more natural or stable
than others the physicists have been
| busy deranging the orbits, throwing
| the atom out Of gear and seeing what
| happens. And they can see very well.
| because the atom tries to return to
normalcy. Every time it does. or every
| time 1t comes little nearer, 1t shoots
| out a quantum of energy-and what
| ever is struck by that quantum knows
| it, for it sees the light. Physicists
| photograph the light, and then think
| up the explanation OF what happened
| inside the atom when the electrons
| tried to get back to their normal
| orbits.
We are just beginning to get ac-
| quainted with such newcomers as
"electrons" and "protons." and now
we are introduced TO another minute
member of the same family, the
7 "etherion,' which Prof. A P. Math-
| ews Of the University of Cincinnati
says is the ultimate unit of light and
electricity. He rejects the prevailing
| theory that light consists of waves
| In Jellylike substance called tho
| ether. Light, he holds, is not radiated
| In waves, but in rays. The ether he
| conceives as made up of minute
| spheres-etherions- are revolv-
| ing at such high speed that their sur
| faces have a velocity of $4,000 miles
a second. When one etherion gains
| energy of rotation 1t becomes an cleo
| tron of positive electricity, and the
| neighboring etherion that has been
I robbed of this energy becomes a mega.
| tive electron.
Prof. Mathews said: IAN electron In
| therefore simply a wave of light toe
] small for transmission and going
| round and round in one place. Light
| is then the basis of matter, since the
| electrons out of which all matter is
made are simply imprisoned light"

gardens and increase his ornamental
paintings. Two of the finest speci-

Jaffe grounds. These trees are 35 to

and beautifully colored.

He studied our import laws and found
that logs were classified as raw ma

Canada without any duty charges.

nR. JAF'FE communicated with a
- friend in Canada, Prof Dale of the
University of Toronto, who owns an
extensive tract of native cedar. From
this man of letters the WaShingtonian
purchased two carloads of cedar logs
on the stump at 80 cents apiece. 1t
cost so cents a log to have the trees
felled and the logs assembled in raft
formation ready for the river trip to
the nearest railroad loading station.
In brief. DIR. Jaffe delivered his two
carloads of logs at Somerset for less
' than one-quarter what the material
would have cost him on the retail mar
ket.
Naturally the problem arose of Sc
curing experienced carpenters who
were competent to build a modern
house of logs. There are no workmen
in the Washington zone who are quail
flied for such assignments. DR.. Jaffe
solved this problem by importing sew
eral experienced cabin builders from
northern Maine. These men, with
couple of day laborers, built Wash
ington's latest house of logs, which
now qualities as one of the most COM
Portable, durable, we'll planned and
livable homes in the latitude of our
Capital City.
DR.. Jaffe planned and designed the
house. Week after week he burned
midnight OIL as he pored over his
drawing board. sketching, altering and
rearranging the layout of his new
home
The finished house is an offspring of
remarkable originality. 1t incorporates
clever features which will be found in
no other house in the District or Mary
land 1t combines the essentials of
both a formal and informal home, of
every convenience and comfort.
Most of the rooms are unconven-
tional, and so inviting as to fill you
with the desire to sit down and admire
their attractions at your leisure. And
to balance these informal rooms are
be found anywhere.
DR.. Jaffe summed up his archi
tectural ideas in a nutshell when he
said: I'VE tried to build a house of
which we would never tire. We have
tried to eliminate monotony and to en-
phasiZe all points which make for COM
plete comfort and relaxation. We have
striven to bring the atmosphere and
the restful bliss Of the northern log

amongst the delegates to the Four
teenth Zionist Congress when three
hundred chaluzim who are in Vienna
on their way to Palestine, stormed the
Congress hall demanding that an op-
portunity be given them to see Dr.
Weizmann and Mr.. Sokolow. The
chaluzim forced their way into the
hall and demonstrated and shouted:
eve are starving! We perish! We
finally want to be sent to Palestine"
The leaders of the demonstrants ex-
planned that the chaluzim were unable
to proceed to Palestine in view of their
inability to secure certificates permit
ting them to enter the country. The
Congress ushers endeavored to push
out the demonstrants, which caused
extreme excitement and tumult. The
police intorvencd and restored order
The demonstrants elected delega-
tion which was promised an opportun.
ity to see the Zionist leaders. The
chaluzim then demonstrated in the
hall with banners bearing as an in
scription the IIillel maxim: am 10

Three hours before the demonstra-
tion, leaders Of the chaluzim in Vienna
asked the correspondents of the jew
ish Telographic Agency attending the

the Zionist delegates and the Jewish
press. Hundreds of chaluzim are wait
ing in Vienna for years, being unable
to proceed further. Suicide is the
only alternative left to them, in view
of the fact that they are prevented
from proceeding TO Palestine and can
not return to their native countries /;
nor can they remain in Vienna.

chaluzim before the Zionist Congress
was misconstrued by the Vienna police
and some papers, to have been the
work of communists. The leaders of

the facts in the case and have issued
a statement, telling the Vienna pa
pcrs what it was all about. The state
