 GOING BACK HOME
Plans But One Stop, at Winston.
 Salem, N. C.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24 R-Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York. after a typical and triumphant good will tour through the south. was beat ing | path back to his Broadway today with only one short pause intervening.
 That one stop, at Winston Salem, N. C.. provided for an address at luncheon to members of the Amer ican Legion.
 When the debonalr chief execu- tive of the nations chief city climb ed with his party aboard north bound train out of here at 7:3o last night, he had experienced another typical Jimmy Walker day-much hustle and informal pomp: many laughs for himself and others and several hurried passages with his badinage.
 From the time Bobby Jones. golfing champion and local lawyer. with Mayor l. N. Ragsdale, of At lanta, welcomed him at the train which brought him here, until a delegation bade him farewell at the train which took him away, Mayor Walker managed to nap until II o'clock: lunch as the guest Of Ma jorJohn s. Cohen, publisher of the Atlanta Journal: ride 16 miles to Stone mountain and there partici- pate in certain small ceremonies that divided honors between him and the monument; attend a re- ception at the Atlanta Womar's club and still later, visit with friends he had acquired previously in Atlanta.

 FOR PURCHASING E N CL|SH PRISON

~ LONDON, Jan. 23. If any American interested in collecting English antiques wants a couple of good old jails, he can have them for a song, provided it's a song with a few banknotes.
 English prisons. fully equipped. complete with gallows and con demned cells, graveyard, warden 5 house and grounds, are for sale in groups. Since the war the prison population has shown a .great decrease.
 Although the Home office, has advertised the jails in such allur- ing fashion as 'the large and substantially built prison, with the adjoining detached villa. for merly the governors house, of .fers{ have been fews
 Twenty prisons are now for sale. but most of them are going begging.
 One can get good prison for anything from $25 to 100000. The prison at Stornoway, in the Hebrides was sold, eevrything in- ,luded, for $25. The Newcastle prison, however, brought $135,- 900, and the Carlisle prison, ESQ., 900.
 The County Down jail at Downpatrick went for $100. Bre- con Prison, in the mountains of Wales, with beautiful scenery and all the aspects of summer resort, received a bid of $4,000, and there was no sale.
 Devices prison was the first jail to be sold by public auc- tion. A gallows in good working order was thrown in for good measure.
 Knutsford prison, in Cheshire, was converted into a theological college and then into two-room flats.
 Some of the old prisons have been given to the War Office for purposes, if the War De- partment wishes.

RADIO FINDS
 DEFECTS OF
 BICDYNAM0S

EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan 24.-Radio is now being used by J. L. Rylander of the Nesting house Electric and Manufactur- ing Company to detect hidden defects in dynamos.
 A machine under test is con verted into broadcasting sta tion by sending through it a 100000 cycle current. Radio waves go out in all directions, and MT. Rylander picks some of them with a receiving set.
 If the machine is perfect he hears a loud buzz, and a milli- ammeter connected with the ap- paratus gives a high reading. On the other hand, a hidden defect is disclosed in a weaker buzz and in low reading on the milli-ammeter.
 Dynamos are always tested for insulation, but heretofore the only check-up possible was for insulation between the copper windings and the iron core. This test is harmless while others sometimes damaged the equip ment.
