PLAN BACKF|R|NG'
TO PREVENT STORM
Or. Franklin Conceives Idea
as Means of Protection
Against Hurricanes.

WINTER PARK. Fla. (P).-"Backfir-
ing" to protect against West Indian
hurricanes on exactly the principle that
forest fire devastation is stopped is the
latest proposal of science.
The idea, originated by the late DR.,
William s. Franklin. former professor
Of physics at Rollins College, has been
submitted to meteorological and other
scientific authorities according to plans
made before his death.
A hurricane, he held, probably gets
much Of its tremendous energy like a
forest IRE, by feeding upon certain ia
vorable conditions lying waiting in its
path.
This hurricane food" lies in a pecul-
lar formation Of the atmosphere, in
which lower layer of warm, moist air
Is topped by great blanket of abnor-
nally cold air. The potential energy in
this combination, due to the tendency
Of the warm air to start rushing up
ward, DR.. Franklin said, is tremendous
II, he said, as hurricane approaches
such an area, q series of artificial ex-
plosions could start the local warm air
to rushing upward, local storm might
begin and create an area denuded Of its
potential hurricane energy.
To provide these backflre storms, DR..
Franklin suggested steel cones, about
100 feet In diameter and several hun
dred feet high, open at the top.
In the bottom Of each he would ex-
plode several tons of gunpowder, each
explosion projecting upward about 81
tons OF air.
DR.. Franklin said that no one could
predict whether such a plan would sue
coed, but that certain preliminary OBJ
servations which could be made safely
are well warranted in view of the ire
mendous losses from hurricanes.
The plan was sent to United States
Senator Duncan u. fletcher of Florida,
who submitted it to the United States
Weather Bureau, which advised that it
was not feasible. 1t was sent also to
the Bureau of Standards, which re-
turned a similar reply.
Franklin began advocating the plan
two years ago while member OF the
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
faculty.

which are rapidly growing in size and
Importance, are determined that their
men shall excel in the arts Of polite
mess.
In their newly opened school for the

Of courtesy are given to the guards and

that it is as easy to be polite as to be
rude, and pays better is gravely i'm
pressed on them; and further, they are
given q practical demonstration. An
0ffcial Is selected, whose duty 1t is to be

one, and he who can counter spate OF

NEW BUILDING
MATERIAL SOUGHT
Prof. Tucker Conducts Ex-
periments at M. |. T. to
Provide Better Homes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. P1.-Daring
plans to develop a kind Of building
material that does not now exist are
under way at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
These plans are the answer Of science
to the FIRE hazard, to the high cost OF
homes and the high expense Of repairs.
The aim is to put better homes in reach
Of every one and to improve building
generally.
Research has started under direction
of Ross F. Tucker, professor Of building
construction.
I'VE do not know yet Just how it will
be DONE" he says, but to find out how
and to do 1t is one Of the things this
school Is for. The new materials may
be of gypsum or cement, or some en-
t1reiy new materials.
They may. among other things, use
the wood bar instead of steel rein
iorcsment of concrete, to save weight.
They must be something light enough
so that two men can set them in place.
This is cement that has been
aerated," he says. 1T illustrates pos
sibilities Chemicals caused this cement
to RISE as bread dough rises from
effects of yeast. The compound gave
off hydrogen, and expanded the cement
into a structure made OF thousands OF
air tight cells, resulting in light, strong
material.
Man has improved many necessities,
but for so years dwellings have been
made of the same materials. and by the
same hand labor. No way has yet been
found to apply the methods of quantity
production in construction Of the
modern home.
I'VE still use many OF the tools and
! build by the methods Of our forefathers,
yet we spend about $6,000,000,0 900 a
year for homes.
I'VE seek to make dwellings that can
be erected by unskilled labor, be FIRE
resisting, more durable, insulated from
cold, and yet come within limits OF
present home-owners' incomes"
