Philadelphia Architects Sur

View to Saving Them.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-Philadel
phia architects and craftsmen have
turned to things historical to reduce
unemployment in their ranks.
About 60 of the unemployed among
them have been engaged in collecting
data concerning the historic buildings,
streets and residences in the old sec
tion of the city.
They have measured, mapped and
photographed more than SO landmarks
of old delphia-buildings in which
the Nation was conceived, streets which
have not changed much since George
Washington, Thomas jefferson and
Benjamin Franklin trod them, and
houses where Revolutionary heroes were
Wlned and dined
The result of the survey is that these
structures, stepped in historic lore and
closely linked to the early life of the
Nation. can now be reproduced in mi
mute detail if the occasion required. For
the men have preserved veritable mu-
scum of facts and figures concerning
the architecture of these buildings
many of which daily face the threat of
destruction in the name of progress.
Ore by one the old landmarks of
lesser Importance are being demolished
to make way for parking spaces or
gasoline stations. and with them perish
some of the finest examples of 18th
century architecture in the country
Then. too, there is always the threat
OF fire
With these facts in mind the Phila-
delphia Chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects began the survey.
At first it was not considered an I'M
employment relief measure, but as the
economic dislocation began to make it
self felt more keenly, the project grad
ually became just that.
The men were given work at re-
duced wage scale in order that the fund
raised for the purpose might serve the
greatest possible number, and by hav-
ing architects donate the use of their
offices and materials, the survey is be-
ing accomplished with a minimum of
overhead expense.

BERLIN, August 17.-Success In an
other great demonstrating goal of
-disintegration of masses of
atoms-was announced yesterday by the
German General Electric Co.
The new accomplishment takes big
power-announced as the entire output
of the German plant-and converts 1t
into demonstrating particles.
The Germans claim to have pulver-
lied atoms by the millions instead OF
the few hit-and-miss smashes achieved
by the previous scientific methods. The
importance of their development is this
increase in numbers.
1t will be necessary to have apparatus
capable of smashing atoms in vast
masses before scientists expect to
fathom the secrets-and possible uses
that die behind the atomic barriers.
Yesterdays meager reports indicate
that the Germans have made long
stride along this road, but have not yet

reached the heights they wish, prob
ably countless billions of smashed
atoms
They describe the tube which breaks
atoms by the millions, "a rate at which
the usual devices no longer suffice to
measure the wreckage," and state that
it has been dismantled so that still
larger one may be set up.
The tube was built by Fritz Lange
and Arno Brasch. 1t is 5000 000-volt
x-ray tube made by "cascading," that
is. by hooking together, end to end, sew
eral x-ray tubes.
Each unit of this cascade, according
to the brief announcement, is 2.40
meters long, about eight feet. But how
many are hooked together is not stated.
The cascading idea is credited to the
American physicist, Coolidge, OF the
General Electric Co., who has used 1t
in spectacular tubes. The cascadlng is
employed to spread the tremendous
electrical energy so that 1t does not de-
stroy the tube containing it.
