RECALLS FAMED

New Jersey Man Swapped Yarns With Abraham

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Woodbine, N. J.-Uncle Johnny Revord snuggled down in his favor ite chair in the "settin' room" of his home at Martintown, near here, and looked back on 96 years of life.
 Uncle Jimmy remembers Abra- ham Lincoln as a friend. He knew him before his famous debate with Douglas at F'reeport.
 Many's the time he swapped yarns with him at the corner grocery store in the little Illinois town where the great Civil war president first practiced law.
 Yes. siree, Oid Abe, certainly could tell lem. fit to make your sides split" he unused reflectively which was a present from his wife.
 When the Civil war broke out, Lincoln called for volunteers, and Uncle Johnny, who had moved into the wilds of Michigan, joined the Fifth Regiment of Michigan Volun- teers. He served through the war, then his brothers died, and he came east. He was wounded during the war, emerged with the rank of a lieutenant and remembers talking with Lincoln on several occasions.
 Revord is not troubled over the present generation of young un's." He believes they are all right. Nor does he think much of prohibition, although he isn't a drinking man. but feels that folks should decide for themselves what they like.

Scientist Backs Theory of Prof MilIikan of
 California
Iy DR ?. LINDSAY WATSON

By DIR D. LINDSAY WATSON United Press Science Correspondent
 Washington. = The cosmic rays studied by Professor Robert A. Mil- likan, Pasadena, Cal, physicist, do not originate in earthly lightning discharges further evidence support ing Millilxan's thesis that they come to earth from outer space, having been found by Dr E. O. Huiburt of the naval research laboratory.
 Cosmic rays are detected by their power to produce ions or electri- cally-charged particles in the air through which they pass. Dr Hull, burt has used Dr Mfllikan'ss meas urements of intensity and absorp- tion to calculate the number of ions in the air at various levels.
 Dr Hulburt concludes that the cosmic radiation Is the main source of these ions up to a height of forty-two miles. Above this is the Kennelly-H y-Heaviside layer of ions produced by the ultraviolet light from the sun. This layer reflects radio waves and permits their trans- mission over long distances.
 Dr Hulburt finds support for Pro- lessor Williams theory that the cosmic rays are very short electro magnetic waves. in the day-and- night constancy of the transmission of radio waves of great wave length. Some of these waves measure as much as five miles from crest to crest.
 The chief competitor of Professor Millikan's theory has been sponsored by Dr c. T. R. Wilson of England, whose experiments have shown that forces of as much as a billion volts may exist between the upper and lower portions of a thundercloud.

for example, shows only the jobless who are aided from government funds, but there is no official report of the total number out of work.
 All over Europe, legislative meas ures are being rushed through to aid the families of unemployed men. French socialists in the Chamber of Deputies have submitted a project for the immediate vote of 100000 900 francs of supplementary credits for relief of jobless.
 The rhythm of growth of French unemployment is steady, having gone from 32,300 during the first week of February to 40,766 this week, with the possibility that 5O,000 French jobless will be on the dole by the end of March. The Chambers fi- nance commission recently reported that through lack of funds, no care could be taken of 60,000 other men wholly without work, and suggested a credit of 25.00O,0 francs.
 The unemployment situation Is worse in Germany than anywhere else in Europe. reaching g per cent in some of the industrial centers. Experts have fixed an estimate of 4.700.000 German tobless, which means that 15 per cent of the adult working class is without employ ment, or 8 per cent of the total population.
 A basis of comparison is provided by the report of unemployment in the United States. The exact figures there are known to Europe, but with maximum estimate of 5000. 900 American jobless, the percentage of unemployment in the whole popula- tion is but 2.5 per cent.
 French government officials, en- gagged in study of Europe's unem- ployment cr.Ds, have reported on four elementary causes of the situ- alton in the whole world. as well as on the European continent:

Raskob brought sharp answers from former Governor Smith and Mrs Mary T. Norton, democratic con- gresswoman from New Jersey, while James M. Cox, presidential nominee also came to the chairman's defense.
 Looking directly at Robinson, Smith asserted ''the trouble is most of our national legislators have been up all night for the past few nights" He characterized as "just bunk" re- ports that the committee is att tempting to influence the national convention.
 If anything could have happened here to-day to give greater comfort to President Hoover and his cohorts than the speech of Senator Robin son, would like to know what it ig." Smith added.
 Robinson in opening his assault upon Raskob chided the chairman for bad taste" in bringing up the prohibition issue. He said he "repu- diated the effort of the chairman to eliminate all other issues and bring tc the front the one issue he knows the democrats are divided upon."
