IS MILES BEING
ADDED TO CITY
STREET LAYOUT
Years Program Decreases
From Paving Mileage
During 1890.

Street paving and resurfacing
projects totaling almost fifteen
miles in length viii be completed
by the city this year before the
arrival Of winter, according to a
report prepared today by A. H.
Moore, city engineer.
Hundreds of men, who otherwise
might have been without Jobs,
benefited from employment on the
construction projects, Moore pointed
out.
Total mileage paved by the city
this year was considerably less than
last year when more than twenty
two miles of paving was laid. De-
crease in mileage was due to re-
duction of the 2-cent levy for re-
surfacing in effect last year, to
II cent this year, it was shown.
With completion of fifteen paving
projects already, more than one
third Of the various projects have
been completed, leaving twenty-five
others in process of construction or
ready to be started within a short
time.
Sixteenth Street Next
The largest paving project in
cluded in the group is East New
York street, which over a period of
several years is being Strengthened
and converted into wide east and
west arterial highway.
Construction work is progressing
on one section of the street, from
Gale to Emerson, more than a mile,
and work is to start soon on the
section from State to Randolph.
In addition, steps are under way
for opening the section from Arsenal
to State and for paving the section
from Big Four railroad to Highland
avenue.
Bids have been received and work
is to start soon on widening and re-
surfacing of Sixteenth street from
Delaware to Illinois and from
Capitol to Northwestern.
Projects Soon to Start

he observed in his laboratory that under
high magnihcation certain spectrum
lines, indicating the orbits of outer
electrons which penetrated very close
to the nucleus of the rhenium atom,
became very complex and that one line
seemed to split up into several lines.
Physical theory required the hypothe-
sis Of spinning nucleus to explain this
phenomena.

Physical theory demanded that this
be interpreted as the reaction of cleo

with a spinning nucleus and, by the APP
plication of mathematical principles the
mechanical moment of nucleus spin
can be deduced. The penetrating cleo
irons react with the spinning nucleus
SO as to produce small changes in the
atomic energies.
DR.. Meggers was concerned especially
in determining the properties of the
atom of rhenium, the newly discovered
element which is found as black,
spongy material which can be COM
pressed into a metal with a very high
specific gravity. Its atom was extreme

MRS. A. C. TYLER DIES
IN new LONDON, CONN.
Former Resident Of Capital Well
Known for Many Years in
Society Here.

News Of the death of Mrs. Augustus
G. Tyler yesterday at The Elm, her
residence in New London, Conn,
brought sorrow to a wide circle of
friends in Washington.
Mrs. Tyler, widow of Col. Augustus
C. Tyler, formerly lived in this city
and occupied a permanent place in
the society of the Capital. In recent
years she made her home in the Con-
necticut city.
Col. and Mrs. Tyler built the house
at 1884 I street. now the University
Women's Club, and when they moved
to New London they leased the house
to the then Russian Ambassador
Baron Rosen.
Col. Tyler died more than 20 years
ago. Since his death Mrs. Tyler and
her daughter, Miss Edna Tyler, have
lived at The Elm.
Besides Miss Tyler Mrs. Tyler is sur
vived by a daughter, Mrs. Tyler Mar
shall Of Arlington, Pa, and a son
Frederick o. Tyler Of Admission, Ala.
Funeral services will be held in New
London at 2 o'clock tomorrow.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The nucleus Of an atom spins on its
axis.
Discovery Of this fact, Just an
nounced at the Bureau Of Standards,
constitutes one of the most notable ad-
vances yet made in atomic physics and
knowledge of the fundamental proper
ties of matter. It was made possible
through 100000 times magnifica-
ton of the characteristic spectrum line
OF the atom of rheniurn, a newly dis
covered element.
Atoms, the fundamental units Of
matter and so small that several bill
lions of them are contained in the
head Of pin, long were considered in
divisible and motionless units. There
were 90 kinds of atoms constituting
the 80 elements in nature from hydro
gen to uranium.
Then it was found that each atom
constituted an energy system which
could be compared roughly to the solar
system Of a heavy central body cor
responding to the sun and SATELLITES
corresponding to the planets revolving
around them. Enormous energy was
required to hold these systems together.
If some way could be found of break
ing up an atom and releasing this
energy 1t would mean-the widest
dreams of physicists couldn't quite COM
pass what it would mean.
Then it was found that the outer
electrons not only moved in orbits
around the central body but that each
electron was spinning on its own axis
just as the earth spins. The discovery
just announced by DR.. William F. Meg
gers, chief of the spectroScopic division
of the Bureau of Standards, carries the
picture long step foreward. The
nucleus also spins on its axis, Just as
the sun does.
While the picture of these infinitely
| little. solar systems which constitute the
| indivisible units of all nature is a fail

| is not exact. Neither the electrons mol
the protons can be looked upon as &C

TW|NE BIDS
WILL INCLUDE JUTE
Offers on Supplying 1900
600 Pounds of Cotton
String Are Rejected.

Following demands that the specifi-
cations for Irvine used by the Post Office
Department in wrapping mail be altered
to include jute products. it was an
nounced yesterday that all bids had been
rejected for the 100000 pounds of
material needed beginning January /,
1882
Low bidders for the contract was the
Highland Cordage Co., of Hickory. N.
c., which quoted a price of 10.40 cents
per pound. The original specifications
called for cotton twine
The Department at the same time
announced that new bids on both cot
ton and jute Irvine will be requested
in the near future.
Representative Allen T. Treadway of
Massachusetts, recently advised the De-
partment and Ludlow Manufacturing
Associates of Boston, makers of jute
Irvine, that unless specifications for the
Government contract were changed, a
congressional investigation would be
asked. Treadway charged chat the jute
producers could offer satisfactory ma
terial at $4,000 less than the cost of
cotton Irvine.
1t was stated at the Representatives
office today that the Department has
used jute Irvine for the past 81 years,
but that this year the specifications
were modelled to exclude all possibility
Of bid by the jute cordage manufac-
turers.

.UPTURN IN STEEL
DECIDEDLY SPOTTY
Leaders Await Permanent
Recovery, but Believe Low
Point Passed.
Dispatch 10 The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, November 7-Ac.
cording to all accounts, steel produce
ton has been rising in the last two
weeks and the showing for the in
duStry as whole is favorable as far
as 1t goes, but there is not the general
or universal upward sweep ordinarily
seen when steel is beginning either a
regular general or a long-range I'M
provement.
The improvement is distinctly spotty
in character. The only distinct funda-
mental improvement is readily traced
to recent advances in wheat and cotton,
illustrated by heavier movement OF
fabricated wire fencing, barb wire, etc.
to agricultural sections and to enlarged
operating plans of farm implement
makers. already resulting in heavier
steel orders from that industry.
Stocks Unusually Low.
There is no definite evidence of
manufacturing consumers or jobbers
buying any steel to repleniSh stocks,
commonly held by steel producers to
have been whitfield down to less than a
comfortable or economical working
amount. There are some slight indi-
cations in that direction, while it il
pointed out that this is the poorest
time in the year to expect such a
movement, the regular practice in the
past having been to reduce stocks
against January l inventory.
Week before last steel ingot produc-
ton was at its low point, about 26
per cent of capacity, there being some
3 points rise in two weeks to a rate
of about 20 per cent this week, putting
the rate above September, but leaving
it under any previous rate since Sep
TENDER, 1921. october pig iron pro-
duction, as reported by the Iron Age,
37,848 tons daily represented a much
the five preceding months, but 1t was
two-thirds under the rate of October,
1929.
Prices Maintained.
While steel producers are decidedly
encouraged by the recent increase in
steel production, even though produced
by spotty increases in demand and by
the better sentiment they find among
their customers, the majority are in
disposed to make any definite predic-
tions except that time will probably
show october to have been the low
month, j. e., that a turn has been
definitely rounded. Going up grade q
another matter, and even the most
sanguine do not expect much, if any,
further improvement in the remainder
of the year. Even a maintenance Of
the current rate would be very favor
able augury, for the tendency to sea-
sonal decline to the end of the wear
has always been pronounced, and if
that is avoided the new year will be
started under particularly favorable
auspices, with indications of a long
range recovery.
Steel sellers have been experiencing
little or no difficulty in holding prices,
and at any rate they have done so ex-
cept for the slight decline in strips In
the last fortnight, ascribed to cutting
for automobile trade orders. Manu-
featuring consumers in general have
shown no desire for lower prices and
have expressed satisfaction over the
stable market ruling in the last few
months.
