Science
Why Autos Turn Right In
U. S. Discovered.

The reason why traffic In the United
States passes on the right rather than
the left. contrary to the practice Of
the rest of the world, has just been
discovered by the Department of Agri-
culture.
1t originated, says a department
bulletin, with the drivers of the six
horse teams of Eastern Pennsylva mia
The driver, instead of having a seat
inside the wagon. rode on the lazy
board" a sliding board of strong white
oak that was pulled out on the left
hand side of the wagon body
The driver usually walked beside his
team or rode saddle horse. From the
lazy board he could operate the brake
and call to his horses.
Coaches and other vehicles of the
day-late In the seventeenth century,
were driven from the right side, but
traffic had to make room for the
WAGNER, seated on the left. So the
practice Of turning to the right grsdu-
ally spread until 1t became the estab-
lished American custom. TR.H,

UNITED DRY EIGHT
URGED ON CHURCHES
Anti-Saloon League Official Points
to Need of Mobilizing for
1882 Campaign.

Stating that national prohibition
will be successful only if the churches
continue their active support of a
cause for which they are primarily
responsible Albert E. Shoemaker, ex-
ecutive secretary and att-rney of the
District Anti-Saloon League today
urged all religious bodies ito mobilize
all possible force to fight for the COM
mon good under the banner Ct prohi-
bition" in the approaching 1882 po-
litical campaign.
Mr.. Shoemaker emphasized the nee
eSsity for cooperation on the nom
sectarian basis which enabled the
churches, through the Anti-Salocn
League. to present a united front in
the original campaign against liquor.
The effort to separate the religious Or
CARNATIONS and the prohibition move
ment on the grcund that prohibition
involves political activities may. if sue
cesSful, effect dangerously the future
of the eighteenth amendment, he said.
He further asserted ANY attempt
to eliminate the active interest of the
church and of church people in this
movement would be tantamount to an
unconditional surrender ID the very
forces which have been repeatedly de-
feated in their attempts to bring back
the legalized sale of alcoholic bev-
erageS."

OCEAN WHIRLPOOL
REPELS STEAMERS
Maelstrom $50 Miles OFF
Cape Cod Described by
photographer.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July ga whirlpool IN
the ocean, $50 miles east of Cape Cod,
so strong that it repels ship, was
described today by Capt. William E..
Parker of the photographer. one OF
four United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey vessels engaged i'll the first COM
plete charting of Georges Banks.
The whirlpool was reported by Capt.
Parker as spinning outward, instead OF
toward its center He said he had made
several attempts to force the Hydro
grapher through it, but the force OF
the water Immediately threw the YES
sci of its course He planned, he said,
to investigate the phenomenon further
upon his return to the banks, Capt.
Parker left with his crew to resume the
survey after four days in port for sup
piles.
Water Shallow.
Although the banks extend some $50
miles off Capt Cod. Capt. Parker said
he found scarcely IL feet of wztcr in
some of the shoal spots. One of the
results of the survey probably will be
the marking of such dangerous local =
ties by the light house service. Such
markings are much in demand by the
fishing industry.
Terrain Is Uneven.
The banks. with submarine peaks and
valleys, correspond to mountainous
region ashore and probably were thrown
up during the last glacial period, &C
cording to Capt Parker.
Small INT bombs play an important
part in the survey. Accurate distances
are obtained by measuring the time
required for the sound of underwater
detonations to travel between a work.
ing vessel and one at fixed position.
The sound is picked up on hydro
phones by the ship at known posi-
ton and broadcast by radio back to
the operating vessel.
Capt. r. F. Luce head of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey station here,
director of the work, estimated today
the survey would be completed next
Summer and charts made available to
navigators containing much informa-
ton not hitherto obtainable.

AUTO EXPEDITION
CONQUERS GORGES
Asiatic Trekkers Reach Re-
mote Kashmir Town After
Heavy Going.

Safely over the second of three
Himalaya passes that are the main
obstacles on the road from India to
Chinese Turkestan. the Citroen-Haardt
Trans-Asia Expedition is making good
progress through deep gorges on the
road to Gilgit remote Kashmir station
which Is surrounded by some of the
highest mountain peaks in the world
A radio message from Aston. village
near Gilgit. to the headquarters here
of the National Geographic Society
which is cooperating in the expedition
states that the special mountain climb
ing automobiles nosed their way steadily
over Burzil Pass, as high as Pixies
Peak, through snow fields so soft and
deep that men sank to their hips.
The passage over more than 100
miles of the Gilgit trail entailing the
crossing of Tragbal Pass 1850 feet
high, and Burzil. Pass, 1915 feet in
altitude, has astonished motor experts
the radio message states, and has
amazed the natives, most of whom
have never seen a motor car.
|, The cars have nosed their way UP
roof-like slopes of the narrow pony
trail, around hairpin turns, along dizzy
shelves, through mountain torrents and
over snow fields.
Ahead of the expedition the trail leads
through deep detileS, over ridges and
across the deep gorge OF the Indus
, where 1t plows its way through the
! tumb.ed ranges of the Himalayas. Over
the road tower numerous peaks 10000
and $4,000 feet high. Portions of the

NETWORK STARTS
VISUAL PROGRAMS
Columbia Systems Ceremo-
NOUS Dedication Fails to
Make Figures Clear.
BY star Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK. July 22.-The Columbia
Broadcasting System dedicated its new
experimental television station W2XAB
last night with considerable pomp and
ceremony. but the visual images that
were broadcast merely served to in
crease the doubt as to just when the
day will come when the public may eX-
pect to see and hear their favorite radio
entertainers with some degree of per-
lection.
All the talent that could be mustered
on Broadway in addition to a group OF
radio celebrities and Mayor Jimmy
Walker, were paraded before Columbia S
televisor for the gala dedicatory cere-
monies. Mayor Walker however. lost
some of his dapperness in the telavision
receiver. and the rotund, grooming Kate
Smith looked like big blot. and nc
one could positively swear to the identl-
fication Of the others.
Success Anyway.
But the broadcast was pronounced a
success, from the technical as well as
the entertainment standpoint.
Six talevision receivers in the Column
bia studios were in operation to show
curious crowd of invited guests how
an artist looks upon being televsed
Some appeared to be awe-stricken by
the seeming phenomenal. and Others
merely specialized if the scientists were
right in saying that television is still
around the corner.
True, there were lifelike images or
the televiSion mirror which f1ickereo
and jumped in broken horizontal lines
Some of them were recognizable, ano
by fair stretch of the imagination II
was possible to distinguish others.
Plans Daily Broadcast.
At any rate, the Columbia engineers
did not expect perfection and therS
we're no disappointments. In fact. Ec-
win X. Cohan. the. broadcasting COM
pany'S technical director, compared the
television broadcast of today with the
photograph of 1910 and the motion
picture of 1905. And on this pioneer
ing, he said. must rest the solid foun-
dation of future progress in the art.
Millions heard the premiere teleVlSlon
over Columbia's 85-station network
but only a few hundred having tele-
vision receivers with the range OF the
station actually saw the artists that
faced the battery of photo-electric cells
or the electric eyes of radio.
With the opening program out OF
the way, Columbia now Will broadcast
series of even-day-a-week VISUAL
broadcasts over the television station
Some of these programs are TO include
sound.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Recent dis
patches and reports from India that
Mahatma Cfandhi planned to visit this
country next Fall in connection with
his attendance at the London Round
Table Conference have been denied by
Rev. Haynes Holmes, minister Of the
Community Church in New York City
Mr.. Holmes announced he had re-
ceived q personal cable message from
Gandhi stating he had no intention of
coming to America.
The sensational comments recently
On Gandhl'S proposed visit to this
country and the desperate endeavors
that were made by lecture bureaus and
other commercial agencies to exploit
this opportunity were a source of dis
taste to all friends Of India" said Mr..
Holmes.
Another circus such as that which
greeted Einlstein was already under way.
It Is q comfort TO know that Gandht,
noblest Of living men, is not to be sub
5ected TO the gross indignities Of Amer
3can publicity.
Later ON, when India is free, and
Gandhi's work is thus triumphant, 1t IS
to be hoped that he viii come here,
under proper auspices. to receive the
homage Of Americans"
