Acceptance of the Hart proposal
probably would result in Hart being

the court asserts that presidents of

board when naturalization of the

It is agreed, the Watson Hart

other interested parties by propos-

SHOALS TO Be
'YARDSTICK' OF
POWER COSTS
Tennessee Valley Comp
troIIer Faces Big Task
Seeking Exact Costs.

BIZ Scripps-HoUdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 8.-The man
who told the Aviation Corporation
what it cost to operate an airplane
today is enthusiastically in the
midst of the job of determining
down to the last tenth of mill the
cost of government generation and
transmission of electric power at
Muscle Shoals.
What golf is to you, or tennis or
bridge to you, figures and compli-
Gated accounting problems are to
Frank j. Carr, the controller of the
Tennessee valley authority.
His is the job of marking off the
measurements on that power cost
yardstick that has been discussed in
connection with Muscle Shoals for
twelve years.
Controller Cars is problem
that, within year or so, must
furnish the answer to the question
whether government generation of
power is cheaper than private gen.
Grafton. The authors of the Muscle
Shoals act believe the answer will
be that private power companies
charges are too high.
Studies Private Accounting
But the controller himself is
starting with no preconceived no
tons about the answer. Account
ants, mathematicians, don't work
that way.
His major idea now is to place
Muscle Shoals accounting on exact
ly the same basis as that of private
power companies, so that when the
showdown comes, the latter can not
jeer at his figures.
The act itself presents a neat
problem that Comptroller Carr must
meet at the outset. 1t provides that
the Tennessee valley authority shall
evaluate the Wilson dam, all other
properties there, and Cove Greek
dam when it is built, and allocate
from each those parts which should
be charged to flood control, naviga-
ton, fertilizer manufacture, nation
al defense and the development of
power.
Starts Work Carefully
"The findings thus made by the
board" says the act, when ap-
proved by the President of the
United States, shall be final and
such findings thereafter shall be
used in all ALLEGATION of value for
the purpose of keeping the book
value of said properties"
So he will make no false moves
at the beginning. Comptroller Carr
will confer with the accounting
chiefs of private power companies
to determine how they keep their
books. He will seek aid from the
federal power commission and the
federal trade commission, both of
which have long investigated power
company accounting.
He hopes to work out an ideal
accounting system that can not be
challenged from either side.

BIZ United Press
HOLLYWOOD, July 8.-There's a
Heartbreak Legion in Hollywood.
The members are a gallant little
group of girls and youths who
serve as "stand-ins'' for the great
names of the movies.
Literally shadows of the CLAM
orous ones of the cinema realm,
these ambitious and often talented
youngsters are paid small salaries
because they happen to bear so re-
markable a resemblance to stars
earning from $1,000 to $4,000 a week.
Their job gives them their name
they don the stars costume and
stand in while cameramen and cleo
tricians focus cameras and lights,
thus saving the star from WEAKNESS.
Their tragedy is to stand and wait
for the golden chance that seldom,
if ever, comes.
Stand-ins reason that because of
their proximity to the movie max
ers, they will be recognized. But
Fred Datig, casting director at Para
mount, can't recall any stand-ins
who progressed even to featured
roles.

SAVANTS MAKE
LIGHTNING BOLT
IN LABORATORY
Generate 100000 Volts to
Create Flash From
Spheres.
BY DAVID DIETZ
scripps-Howard Science Editor

TWO shining metal spheres, each
Il fifteen feet in diameter, stand
upon the top of 24-foot posts in an
abandoned dirigible hangar at
Round Hill, Mass.
Periodically, an electric discharge,
to all intents and purposes a seq
ment Of lightning bolt, leaps be-
tween the two spheres with the
binding flash and reverberating
boom that one connects with a
lightning bolt.
When this happens, there are only
three safe places to be. One, OBJ
viously, is outside the hangar. The
other two strange as it may seem,
are inside one or the other of the
two great spheres between which
the lightning leaps
The layman, undoubtedly, would
prefer to be outside the hangar.
But scientists from the Massac hu-
sets institute of Technology have
demonstrated that it is perfectly all
right to stay inside the hollow
spheres. They have fitted up the
interior of the spheres as laborato-
ries in which to make observations.
Develops 100000 Volts
The two great spheres are part of
the De CRAFT electrostatic genera
tor built upon the plans originated
by DR.. Robert j. Van De CRAFT.
In preliminary tests, the device
has developed an electrical pressure
or potential of 100000 volts. 1t
was expected that a pressure of TO-
000 900 volts would be developed, but
this figure was not reached.
DR.. Karl T. Compton, president of
M. l. T., explains that this was due
to the sleakage of the electrical
charge to the steel walls of the
hangar. These walls now are being
insulated, and it is expected that
the maximum figure will be reached.
The layman will be puzzled to I'M
derstand why, of all places, the in
teriors of the spheres between
which the lightning is leaping
should be the safest places to be.
The answer is that electric charges
tend to stay upon the outside of
metallic conductors.
Charge Outside of Spheres
All Of the electric charges built
up by the De Graaff generator are
on the outside of the two big
spheres. None of it gets through
to the inside
The way in which the generator
works easily is understood, if we
keep in mind few facts about cleo
tricity.
One Of the fundamental particles
out of which the atoms of matter
are composed is the electron, a par
ticle with a negative electrical
charge. An electric current is mere
ly stream of electrons in motion.
An electric charge represents a
surplus or deficiency of electrons.
When a body is charged positively
it means that its surface is short of
electrons. Remember the electrons
are negative.) When a body is
charged negatively, it means that it
has a surplus of electrons upon its
surface.
The electric spark is stream of
electrons jumping from the body
with surplus to the one with the
deficiency.
In the De CRAFT generator, NOV
ing silk belts against which brushes
press, are used to create the charges.
They are arranged so that one belt
creates an excess of electrons on one
sphere, while the other causes a
deficiency.

ID AIMS come from clouds, clouds
~ come from water vapor, water
vapor comes from evaporating mois-
ture. Where no water evaporates,
there will be no clouds. no rain.
A mature white oak tree thirty
feet in diameter and forty feet high
evaporates into the air seven bar
rels of water every day it carries
leaves.
Does that answer in part your
question of the source of summer
rains that we need to mature our
crops? Does that explain why a
treeless wilderness is so deficient in
rainfall that it supports only a
hydro-autogenous life.
First we must cover the barren
slopes with forest or grass and
forest. That creates ground litter
to hold back the water. When we
hold back ground water, we raise
the water table under the soil, Gre
ate new springs, furnish an unend-
ing supply of water for our streams,
hold back silt and the stream be-
comes clear, makes it better to live
by and fish in.
More water, more rapid growing
forest: a better forest, more evenly
supplied water and the life cycle
begins.
A LII too frequently of late years
4 n we hear of the cloud bursting
rains that desolate the Mississippi
valley. Such events do not occur
in forest-protected country. I am
witness to a 29-inch 24-hour rain
in Central America that did not
raise the water in the Byana river
more than ten inches. The Jungle
held it back, otherwise there would
have been the usual Mississippi
river parade, houSetops floating out
to sea.
An evenly distributed water sup
ply through the medium of forests
gives an evenly distributed rainfall
That means prosperity.
An evenly distributed forest
means evenly distributed forest
products and that again spells pros
perity.
The measure of any civilization is
found in it's wood consuming ca
pacity.
The feIlaheen of Egypt, the man
power slaves of the world, consume
three and one-half cubic feet of
food man year.
The per capita consumption of
wood in the United States per an
mum is a cube Of wood measuring
six feet or ZIG cubic feet. From
the day we are born on a wooden
bed to the day we pass out in a
wooden box, our lives are circum-
scribed by forest products. Our rise
as a civilization can be traced in
our wood consuming capacity.
INDIANA within the memory of
Il our present older generation,
produced its own forest products
In 1882, despite the depression, she
imported $27OOo,OO0 of wooden
products. That was one-half the
total of state taxes; that was the
additional burden we shouldered to
pay for our timber butchering pro-
gram since 1850.
And the end is not yet-not by a
long shot. We will have this bill
to pay to some other forest produc-
ing state for years to come, or I'M

T PRESUME you often have heard

While that is not always true, lit

the trump-try to visualize the en-
tire hand, keeping track Of each
suit. You will be surprised. after
just little practice, how easily this
can be accomplished.
I thought the following hand pre-
sented an interesting play due to the
fact that the declarer was able to
count the hand down.
South bid one heart. West made
a negative double, showing strength
in spades. North bid two diamonds
this is strength-showing bid aft
er a double. East passed, South bid
two hearts West passed, and
North went to four hearts, which
East wisely did not double.
At one table a club was opened
by West. The declarer won with the
queen and returned diamond.
West won with the ace and led a
small spade. This made it rather
simple for the declarer to make his
contract.
However, the interesting play came
up at the table which opened the
fourth best spade. East won with
the ace and returned the ten Of
spades, which was won in dummy

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

DETTER TO MARRY" by Ur-
ID sula Bloom, contrasts the re-
pressions and conventions which
surrounded Victorian woman with
the freedom Of the modern age, and
concludes that modern freedom Is
all TO the good.
1t tells its story, and gets over its
neatly contrived moral lesson, by
examining the lives of a mother and
her daughter.
The mother was brought up in an
English middle-class home in the
nineties-which seem 10 have been
anything but gay. She was shell
tered carefully, thoroughly repressed
and taught to make what will peo-
pie say?" the guiding principle OF
her life.
AS result, she was guided
straight into marriage with a
worthless rake whose only redeem
ing features were that he came from
an excellent family and held a COM
mission in the guards. When, in
middle age, she became a widow, she
found that she had wasted her life.
Her daughter, growing up in the
modern era, found things different.
Far from bowling the knee to con-
vention, she went off to live with a
young artist without benefit of
clergy, and managed to achieve a
satisfying existence thereby; so sat-
isfVinp. indeed that her mother
when an admirer of her youth final
ly swan back into her ken, gave up
her scruples and went to do likewise.
Toward the end of the book you
feel that the author is twisting
things to point her moral; but the
beginning, with its horrible picture of
Victorian middle class domesticity
is truly excellent. Published by
Dutton, the book is priced at So.

Keep Cool

BIZ Science Serrice
Loose, coarse-meshed porous
clothes are the smart thing to
wear in hot weather. Such cloth
ing allows ventilation of the skin
and ready evaporation of the per-
spiration which cools the body.
Close clothing keeps hot, hu-
mid layer of air in contact with
the skin.
In hot weather the chief pro-
lection of the body against a rise
of body temperature and a heat
stroke is the cooling that comes
from the evaporation of the per-
spiration. Anything that pro-
notes this evaporation, such as
currents of air. helps to keep the
body temperature from rising.
Hence the value of loose, porous
clothing.
