standards. electric wall switches
everything seemed to be charged.
I noticed that If I touched one
of these objects and drew a spark I
could not draw spark from another
object Immediately after. and con.
cluded that 1t was my person and
not the object that was charged. The
next step was Ito figure out how 7
became charged. This did not take
long. because In checking up the only
thing | could attribute II to was the
fact that as I moved over the rug
which covered the floor the friction
between the soles of my heels and
the rug was. the thing which did the
trick. I put 1t to a test by touching
A metal floor lamp standard and draw.
ing spark. After drawing the spark
/ touched the standard again but was
unable to draw a spark. then
danced around on the rug a few Sec
onds. dragging my feet. so as to cause
a rubbing on the rug and placed nv
finger close to the metal again. This
time l drew another juicy spark.
Mysterious Rug.
I danced around some more and
proceeded to draw a spark from nv
friends nose. then told him that
the only way he could get rid of his
electrified house was to sell the rug
and buy another. All rugs are not of
this type.
This article will serve to allay the
fears of those who are blaming such
occurrences on radio.
Frictional electricity Is one of the
earliest known forms of electricity.
Those who have studied physics and
elementary electricity remember. the
electrophorus. the simplest form of
machine for charging an electrode.
This consists of a plate of non-con.
Quoting material such as resin, sui
phur, hard rubber. bakelite, etc, "a"
in the diagram. The upper plate con-
sists of a metal plate "B" to which
Is fastened an insulating handle &C"
made of glass, rubber, etc.
The upper surface of the resin or
insulating plate "a" is rubbed with
fur. thus giving the plate a mega
tive charge. A positive charge is in
duced in the metal plate "B" by
placing it on the resinous plate "A. :"
The plate "B" is then removed by
taking hold Of 1t through the in
sulating handle. Then If you bring
your finger. very close to plate "B"
you can draw q spark. The process
can be repeated by placing the plate
"B" on plate "a" withdrawing it
and drawing another spark by bring.
ing a finger close to 1t or bringing
1t very close to a metal or other con-
Quoting object. The Wimshurst ma
chine is based on this principle. This
machine, as many remember, was
used in laboratory experiments to
store condensers and produce beau
tiful and awe.inspiring sparks.

CHARITY SW|NDLE
METHOD REVEALED
Professional Drive Director
Describes $10O,O00,000
Annual Hoax.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 22.-The tech
nique Of high-pressure statesmen, who
tap the tear ducts and pocketbooks of
suckers" in fake charity drives. is
described today in the New York Eve
ming Post in an interview with Larry
Taylor, professional drive director.
The article Is the second of a series
telling how New Workers annually
give up $1O.0O0.OOO in contributions
to fraudulent charity campaigns. The
entire United States gives $1OO, 900 900
to fake charities, the Evening Post
estimates. Taylor's latest racket"
drive for the International Narcotic
Crusade, is now being investigated by
Assistant District Attorney Pecora.
Endorsements Easy.
Any organization ostensibly char
liable can get Endorsement from men
in public life, he said, and such in
dorsements, or even unauthorized use
of names. enable adroit telephone
statesmen to call up persons on their
'mooch lists" or sucker lists" and
get checks.
Good statesmen make from $500 to
$500 a week, he said: In his first char
ity racket" he lined up 81 900 in dona-
ton pledges in three-quarters of an
hour on the telephone.
Taylor was quoted as saying that
he had raised money in a fraudulent
campaign for the blind. and. in an
other camapign, of THE American
Society for the Nervous" When he
asked his employer where the sani-
tOrium for the nervous was to he
built he was told not to worry about
that-that his job was raising the
money.
Sob Stories Effective.
Vanity and tears make the best ap-
peals. in Taylor's opinion. Promises
to print contributors names and pic
lures in magazines devoted to char
tiles have great appeal among public
men. A good sob story, a drive to
provide cripples with crutches, for
instance. Is Of even greater value.
Cash sent to headquarters for doubt
full charities frequently disappears
long before 1t reaches officials. 1T
depends on who opens the letters"
Taylor says.

The Public Buildings Bill.

Bv slow and difficult stages the
Senate is proceeding with the bill
TO provide for the construction of a
large number of public buildings
both in this city and elsewhere. That
measure is now the unfinished bust
ness" Of the Senate, with the Italian
debt settlement question interven-
ing from time to time and culminat-
ing today. 1t is expected that the
public buildings bill will pass the
Senate and this virtually means its
enactment at the present session, as
it has already passed the House and
there would in that case remain only
the conference to give it final form.
This Is practically an omnibus
bill in that it provides for the erec-
ton during a period of years OF a
large number of buildings through
out the country at a total cost OF
s16s. .oO0, 900, of which $5o,o0o,ooo will
be expended on structures in Wash

issued. Witnesses are subjected to

of which there can be no means Of

No confidence can be felt in the

Repeal Rather Than Amendment.

Notwithstanding the suggestion OF
the Engineer Commissioner that the
amendment rather than the repeal OF
the Borland law should at present be
sought from Congress. the Citizens
Advisory Council has voted 10 stand
by it's original action favoring the out
right cancellation Of that inequitable
measure. 1t may be at the present
time unlikely that Congress will heed
4 request for repeal, but the injustice
Of the measure is such as to warrant
continued protest against it and effort
to secure its removal from the local
statutes.
At the conference held last week at
rhe District Building on this subject a
specific illustration was given of the
unfairness Of assessing upon the own
trs Of abutting properties one-half
Of the cost of new pavements and re-
pairs. In Il section Of the northeast,
formerly a suburb. but now an imme-
date part Of the urban area, streets
chat had not been paved in many
EearS We're Il few months ago repaVed
IT heavy expense. Half Of that cost
was assessed against the abutttng
properties. These streets are used
chiefly by heavy traffic from a ware
house section some distance beyond.
The trucks from those warehouses i'm
pose a heavy strain upon these pave
lnents. and already they are showing
signs of wear. The immediate prop
erty owners have had a minimum OF
benefit from the new pavements, while
vehicle owners some distance away
have enjoyed them chiefly. The for
mer have paid the costs, the latter
have paid nothing but their small frac-
Lional shares of the charge against the
District funds.
This case shows clearly and speciti-
cally the inequity Of regarding the
owner of the Immediately abutting
property as the primary beneficiary Of
street improvements and the injustice
uf assessing him for them. Streets
are the common property of the com
LllullllA DIV tIlltIlIo HiAS lIlC NOlAl41AVA+
utility of all the people. New street
pavements as we'll as repairs should
be paid for out of general taxation
and not out of specific assessments.
There was never the least warrant
for this eXpedient of raising money for
street improvements as a means of
Iessening the drain upon the general
funds. The BorIand law was enacted
ut time of rigid economy In District
appropriations. 1t was not warranted
then and it is far less justifiable now
that the city has grown greatly and
every section OF the District street
system is part of a whole and should
be so treated in all provisions for new
paving or for the repair of old.
