FAMILY DENIED.
AID FROM D. {.

Surrounded by his wife and
their three children, all huddled
together in the bulky yellow au-
tomobile trailer that is their
home, Theodore j. LoWery is
man without a community.
And by the standards of charity
organizations, he is not eligible to
receive aid, although at one time
he was in business in Washington
over a period of Is years.
Explaining his plight in the di-
lapidated trailer parked at the
tourist camp near East Potomac
golf links, LoWery said:
"The only help we are getting
is from the Travellers Aid, which
Is paying the So weekly parking
fee here. We have not been able
to obtain aid here because we
are not District residents"
Irony is added to his present
plight in that he was in business
here until 1929, operating first an
antique shop near Seventeenth
and H SITS. N. w., and later a jew
elry establishment.
Newspaper editorial work is his
preferred profession, he declares,
having worked on the New York
journal for several years before
coming to Washington.

FEDERAL LOANS
To BOOM RAIL
REPAIR JOBS
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Further loans to railroads from
the public works fund looking to
additional immediate employment
were forecast today with the
statement that Frank C. Wright,
director of the newly established
transportation loan division, has
made progress in conferences
with railroad officials, toward
this objective.
BY loaning money on security
10 railroads for repair Of locomo-
tiveS and freight cars now out
of commission, many men can
be given jobs, Wright reported.
Names of roads were not an
uounced.
Many Shops Closed
Wright said:
MANY railroad shop towns
have been black spots on the
unemployment map, for all
roads have been forced to cut
repair work the past three
years."
Locomotives out of service on
Suly l we're 1903 compared to
$500 on January /, 1882, and
represent more than % per cent
of loco-~ olives owned by class 1
carriers, Wright said. Freight cars
needing repairs had jumped from
61,287, January l, 1882, to 231, 1853
by August !, this year.
Some Gains Shown
Railroad shop activity has pick
ed up since midsummer but rail
roads have been limited in
amounts from revenues available
for such work, and little has been
borrowed, the stock needing re-
pairs being allowed to accumu-
late. Only current repair needs
are met.
Anticipating increased freight
traffic, Wright declared it is es-
sential that roads have enough
serviceable locomotives to handle
this increased load. He therefore
recommended loans for the pur-
pose.
Loans already e include
S135, 100000 for identification and
rail purchases, with auxiliary
e ipment.

The shakeup in the Treasury
Department, which many view as

Democratic women as an oppor-

Neither of the positions had ever

SO, She Lost Savings
But Still Aids Chest

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2O.-Despite
the fact that she lost most Of her
savings in a bank failure recently,
an 83-year-old woman of Tappa-
hammock, Va, who is confined to
her bed, has sent a check to the
Community Chest here.
The Community Fund organiza-
ton said the woman wrote in the
letter accompanying her check
that she was prompted to con-
tribute because she read about
the aid which several agencies of
the Community Fund have rem
dered persons of her own age who
must depend on charity to carry
on.

News Notes

The Rockville High School has ar
ranged debate between the CONNER
scial section Of the Senior Class and
the college preparatory group, which
will take place Immediately after the
christmas holidays.
The issue for debate is, Resolved
that the athletic leagues of Montgom-
cry County should be abolished" The
commercial students have taken the
affirmative side while the academic
pupils will debate on the negative.
The question is considered impor-
'tant because of the great variation of
ideas concerning it throughout the
country, and keen interest is being
taken by the high school students.
The speakers in the order in which
they will speak are: Affirmative:
Helen Howard, Emma Wootton, Lor-
raine Droneburg, Hilda Page, coach
and alternate; Negative: Mollie Wat

chusetts Institute Of Technology-Produce
Heat Greater Than Sun

DR.. Edward Stonestreet Lamar, son
of George Lamar, of Rockville, has
cooperated with other officials of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in a discovery dealing with a new
kind of electrical furnace which pro-
duces heat far exceeding anything on
the surface of the sun, according to
dispatches by the Associated Press.
This furnace is a small, glass
vacuum tube, and the hot spots within
1t provide a new source of protons, or
heavy particles of electricity, for
bombarding the nuclei of atoms. They
yield ninefold more protons than any
previous method.
The heating element of the tube is
three electrodes. It's fuel for making
protons is hydrogen gas, at low pres
sure. Between two of the electrodes a
flaming arc forms. This arc resembles
any ordinary flames of this kind.
But placed around the arc is the
third electrode and its boosting action
produces the hot points in the gas.
The excessive temperatures are con-
fined to these points, the gas around
them remaining comparatively cool.
The points Of heat are too small to be

read with ordinary instruments. But
their existence and temperatures are
revealed by streams of protons shoot.
ing out from them.
Just how this is done was discover
ed by DR.. Lamar and DR.. Overton
Luhr working with cooperation of DR..
Karl T. Compton, president of the in
stitute. The arc tears apart some of
the hydrogen gas particles, turning
them into ionized or electrified bodies.
When these electrified particles
jump across the arc from one cleo
trode to the other, they rebound into
the gas with considerable velocity.
But this rebound is vastly increas-
ed by the third electrode which sur
rounds the arc. With the third cleo
trode turned on, carrying only few
hundred volts, the particles come
bounding off with the energies of
hundreds of thousands of degrees of
temperature.
This rebound caused by the third
electrode also produces the great in
crease in protons, which are the posi-
lively charged nuclei of hydrogen
molecules stripped of their outer
coverings.
