A rift in the ranks of the local
chapter of War Mothers, which,
in all probability will ue taken
before the national convention in
California late this moath, has
just been disclosed.
Mrs. William w. Morrison, presi.
dent of the local chapter, was
found guilty of insubOrdinatiOn
and removed by Mrs. Virgil Nc
Clure, national president.
Mrs. Lucy B. Cash, executive
vice president, was named to
succeed Mrs. Morrison. and, ac-
cording to reports, will officiate
at the next meeting in the Ham
ilton Hotel, September ii.
Mrs. Morrison has appealed her
removal on the grounds that
under the bylaws she cannot be
replaced until the committee
acts.
The trouble is said to have
started when Mrs. Morrison
clashed with the Mcclure faction.
This group is said to have broken
from the organization and opened
a chapter Of their own at 1927

opening, for the planes, so feet wide,
SO feet deep, were opened in flight and
the air whiStled past underneath, but
did not blow into the interior.
We could almost forget we had gas
cells in the ship, so little trouble have
they given in the dock or in the air,
although the largest single cell alone
is 40 per cent the size of the entire
Los Angeles.
In the climbing and diving tests
air circulation and densities were care
fully watched. If the ship was COM
pletely sealed and sent up into the
more rarified atmosphere of 5000 feet
the interior pressure would cause severe
strain on the outer cover. Openings
had been planned so that the air pres
sure would equalize itself Immediately
inside and out. This worked salts
factorily.
The Swelling feature Of the pro-
pellers promised very important con-
tribution to airship handling, since 1t
would permit the ship to be forced
upward or downward without dropping
ballast or valving gas in landing or
take-off. On one flight the ship took
off $4,000 pounds heavy, on another
landed 10000 pounds light.
The control surfaces have given the
ship a higher degree of stability and
control than former ships.
There was some concern about vibra-
ton, with engines mounted inside the
ship This has been much less thar
expected Communication within the
ship has been satisfactory and instri-
mentS have worked as expected.

Improvement in South.
On the South Coast improving con-
ditions were found in several places.
The Virginia Electric g. Power Co.,
which serves a large section of the
State, including Richmond and Nor
folk, has found from its ledger sheet
that the recent Summer months con-
sumption of power exceeded in volume
the consumption in any similar period
of the company's history.
This was attributed TO the increased
use of electrical comforts and con-
veniences in the home. The company
has made no curtailment of its forces
and has not reduced wages.
At the same time the Federal Re-
serve Bank at Richmond reported trade
in department stores of the fifth dis

standpoint of volume, although there
was a decline In sales in dollars and

HOLDS LIFE GENERATED
SPONTANEOUSLY BY SUN
Northwestern q. Dean Believes
Great Heat Rays Stimulated
Chemical Groups.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October ga theory
that life was generated spontaneously
by rays from "a sun far hotter than it
Is today" was expounded by Dean Irving
S. Cutter of Northwestern University
School of Medicine last night.
Speaking before a campus group on
its origin, Dean Cutter said that in his
opinion modern science would not sue
coed in reproducing life synthetically in
the laboratory.
I'VE can visualize the stupendous
forces, radio-chemical in character,
acting upon newborn chemical groups"
he said. Just such forces-radio activ-
ity of high degree and powerful ultra
violet rays-can explain chemical COM
binations now denied the hand of man."
AS the earth cooled, radio activity
lessened and so ultraviolet light from
the sun decreased, DR.. Cutter theorized,
with life taking unto itself its own con-
tinuance.
