Ware Strength Demonstrated.
The primary yesterday demonstrated
again the strength of the Ware organi-
zation in Philadelphia. That organiza-
ton swept the city for its candidates,
rolling up lead of 241 900 for Davis
and $4,000 for Brown. BILL" Ware,
who was rejected by the Senate several
months ago, came back to put his choice
for the Senate across in Philadelphia
and his selection also for governor. De-
spite the fact that Ware is still handi-
capped greatly by the stroke OF paralysis
which he suffered in August, 1923, ne
took part In the present campaign,
making several speeches. The results
yesterday indicated his grip on the
Philadelphia situation has not weak
ened.
senator Grundy, who for many years
was president of the Pennsylvania
Manufacturers Association and who is
himself O millionaire wollen manufac-
turer, had the aid of the manufacturing
interests Of Pennsylvania. He had the
aid also of the Melons, including the
will be regarded as q defeat for the
Melons, although they have been draw
ing more and more out Of the political
field in Pennsylvania, it is reported.
Secretary Davis, in addition to being
backed by the Ware organization in
Philadelphia, had the support Of organ
lied labor throughout the State and in
Allegheny County. his home county, the
organization was supporting him
strongly. He had with him, too, in this
fight the Republican national commit
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Pinchot Makes Strong Bid.
Gov. Pinchot has made q strong run
against the organization candidate,
Brown. While he had no open alliance
with Grundy, 1t Is known that Grundy
was working In the interest Of Pinchot
and against Brown. 1t was through
Grundy's aid that Pinchot won
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor In 1922, when Grundy became con-
WINGED that his own candidate, Fisher,
could not win In that year.
Senator Grundy was appointed to I'LL
the vacancy in the Senate last Winter,
after the Senate had turned down the
then Senator-ele William S. Ware be-
cause of alleged excessive expenditures
and fraud In the campaign Of 1925
Grundy will continue to serve as Sena-
tor until after the election Is held next
November, when he steps out and the
newly elected Senator comes in.
A Republican nomination for the
Senate in Pennsylvania is regarded as
the equivalent Of election. It is true
that the Senate slush fund committee,
headed by Senator Nye of North Dakota
Is to conduct an investigation into the
Pennsylvania senatorial primary. Mr..
Davis, however, has expended only a
few thousand dollars IN his race for
the Senate. although 1t is likely that
1t will be developed that many thou
sands were expended for the Davis
Brown ticket throughout the State
The opinion was expressed today, how
ever that II Mr.. Davis is declared the
winner, as 1t now appears, he will be,
he will be seated II he is elected next
| November.

Naibu was arrested during a raid on
the salt deposits here, in which 100 OF
her volunteers were injured and many
others arrested.
Today's raid was featured by q stra-
tegic move on the part Of the volunteers
who divided into two bodies which
converged from different directions
upon the glistening piles Of salt SYM
bolizing British authority.
Seeing the Indians separate their
forces, the police concentrated upon the

Meanwhile the main body Of about
1000 Indians was making for another
salt pile and the police accordingly
wheeled and charged it in turn.
With wild cheers and cries Of Hail
our motherland!" the volunteers milled
about the salt heaps trying to lasso
the wooden posts Of the projecting wire
renee in order to pull them from the
ground.
They were frustrated also in this
attempt, the police charging the yell
ing, struggling mass and repeatedly
hitting out with Their sticks right and
left. The volunteers did not fight
back. carrying out the instructions
previously given them by Mrs. Naidu.
Mrs. Naidu Arrested.
BY this time all available stretchers
had been used and improvised ones
were needed to carry away the in

who had been looking on the struggle
from q distance, approached the salt
heaps and was Immediately arrested,
together with Gandhi's son, Manilal,
who is the third Of the mahatma's sons
to be arrested.
Within a short time all the raiders
had been driven off but about 200, who

Fresh volunteers nevertheless began
pouring in, although the authorizes
were trying to hinder their arrival by

A Vanishing Stream.

Summer or Winter, few spots in
Washington are more beautiful than
the short stretch Of woods and stream
: that form Piney Branch Valley from
the mouth OF this bubbling brook ct its
yuncture with Rock Greek to the Six
teenth Street Bridge, half . mile or 80
away. In Winter the stream sometimes
becomes . silver thread of ice, woven
between the boulders that form its rocky
course, and in Summer 1t still sings
over the lodges and CLEANS in the lights
and shadows that pierce the forest COW
erines of its graveled banks" But,
following the paths that border this
stream, one comes suddenly upon its
present source which happens to be the
gaping mouth OF q sewer. Even before
one IL thus disillusioned, If 1t happens
TO be In dry weather, gentle odors that
are strangers to the Spring flowers along
the way hint to the pedestrian that all
Is not pure water that glitters and
bubbles and sings over rocks. And close
inspection Of the stream itself reveals
Q shiny species Of green and stagnant

original intentions.
All of which Is interesting in connec-
ton with an item in the Sewer Depart
ment's 1892 estimates, now before
the Commissioners, which recommend
spending $600,0 to extend the Piney
Branch trunk sewer from its present
outlet valve within the shadow Of the
Sixteenth Street Bridge to some point
on Rock Greek. That Is undoubtedly .
necessary improvement that should be
made. The amount Of pollution, one Is
informed, Is negligible and Rock Greek,
as pristine as it may appear, is already
polluted by other sewerage that enters
far upstream. The sewer extension viii
be underground, OF course. But the
result OF putting 1t under ground viii
probably be TO write "nnis" TO the

The heating Of houses by q contrap-
ton not much larger than teapot
and without furnaces to stoke, shake
down and keep free from ashes Is held
out as q possible development OF the
curious substance called diphenyl, the
latest plaything of scientists and fuel
engineers. The Bureau OF Mines OF
the United states Government Is inter-
ested in the substance and its expert
mental Laboratories may do tremendous
things with 1t.
Diphenyl Is q substance which has
the quality Of getting hotter than any
thing else. Water, used for heating
quite generally, boils at ala degrees
Fahrenheit. This is not . high tenn
perature. AS soon as boiling starts,
steam Is generated and steam creates
pressure. Pressure must be resisted oy
strongly constructed piping in a heat
ing apparatus. Steam heating systems
require unusually strong radiators 70
But diphenyl does not. at ordinary
temperatures, generate anything like as
much pressure For example, at
temperature where water turning to
steam would generate a pressure OF
1000 pounds per square inch. this
mysterious substance. diphenyl. would
generate but IS pounds pressure. This
means that the substance could be cir
culated through and contained aoe-
quately by comparatively .himsy pipes
and, moreover, much less OF 1t would
be required to heat . given amount OF
space.
An inconspicuous little radiator which
might be made In the form Of bird
cage, and no larger, would be sutncient
to heat the ordinary sized room as
adequately as a large hot-water or
steam radiator.
Diphenyl Is one of the many by
products of benZene. BY heating
process, hydrogen atoms are forced out
of benzene molecules. When the sub
stance which results from this process
is cold. It is solid When heated, 1t
turns to liquid A temperature OF 155
degrees Fahrenheit melts 1t.
A Step In Fuel Engineering.
Until recently diphcnyl was only one
Of those laboratory products which had
come into being more or less incl
dentAlly to chemical experimentation.
It had no use. It had been produced
in connection with some other work.
But It's properties were noted and
when o demand appeared from q gaso-
line manufacturer for q heating agent
OF Just this sort, diphenyl was sug-
gested. At that time there was only
one pound OF 1t In existence. That was
in the laboratory Of Theodore Swami,
manufacturing chemist Of Birming-
ham, Ala.
This single laboratory specimen of
diphenyl was priced at $40 q pound.
and, in the absence of demand for
the substance In commercial quantities.
1t would have continued to cost about
that much to produce 1t. However,
when the oil reflner and gasoline manu-
facturer created that demand. the
manufacturing chemist found he could
produce diphenyl for 80 cents q pound.
This development does not mean that
diphenyl has yet reached the stage Of
production or practical use TO make
early adoption Of 1t for the heating of
dwellings practicable, but the fact that
IL works at all Is regarded as an in
teresting step in fuel engineering, The
United States Bureau Of Mines has
looked into the matter to SOME extent

An Antarctic Paradox

Washingtonians heard Rear Admiral
Byrd tell of his Antarctic explorations
on the eve of the. theoretically longest
day OF the year-theoretically only in
the sense that owing to certain astro-
nomical complications too profound for
the lay mind to understand both Sun
day and Monday are each one minute
longer in the span of daylight than
Saturday. To all intents and purposes
Friday was one Of the years longest
days. And 1t waS'then that the people
OF the Capital heard about the night
that lasted 129 days, during which
Byrd and his men worked in the dark
ness and the cold at their Winter
quarters, waiting for the dawn. This
is not q new story, for Polar explorers
have told it before, though mostly with
relation to the northern zone of ice.
It is hard for those who have not
passed . season in the extreme North
or South to conceive darkness cOntinu-
ing for nearly twenty weeks, with no
ray Of sunshine, with practically no
glimmer Of light. There is no diff
ference between what we know % day.
and might" Only by strict reckon
ing by the clock Is the twenty-four-
hour period divided into those parts.
There is no way bY which the calendar
can be followed. The passing Of "time"
is unmarked by any physical differ
entiations. II the clocks or watches
stop all means of reckoning is gone.
Somebody must be charged, with the
duty of checking up the hours, and
counting off the days"
In such conditions the ordinary con-
cepts Of time 60 all awry. A might"
that lasts for four months Is q night
only because of darkness. It. might
as well be called y day" despite the
phenomenon Of lack of light. If It
be called day" what of the period
that follows, when there is almost con-
tinuous light for months? Is that also
a day? Are there, in truth, only
two days" in the Arctic or the Ant
arctic year?
These strange conditions, so alien to
the normal circumstances Of hfe, form
perplexing paradoxes. To those who
have visited the worlds extremities and
have experienced these peculiarities,
however, they soon become normal.
Life quickly adjusts to strangeness when
1t is an everyday condition.
