British Premier
To Visit In
Capital

I The news given out by
the President that the Prime
Minister of Great Britain,
Mr.. Ramsay Macdonald, IS
coming to Washington to dis
cuss economic problems and

terest, not only from an Off

naturally be considerable en-
tertaining for this important
statesman.
The Premier visited the
United States during the HOO
yer administration, and while

Hoover camp in Virginia; and
as a memento of his visit, one
Of the cottages at the camp
was named for him, "The
Prime Minister" Mr.. Macdon-
aid is reported to sail from
Southampton on the fifteenth
Of April.
It is expected that represen-
tatives Of France and other for
eign nations will come to WASH
ington at the same time or soon
after the visit of the Premier,
which should make the spring
season in the Capital an ex-.
ceedingly gay one.

daughters, Miss Marie ThereSe
de Ia Boulaye, and Agnes, a

434 STJBZERO THERMOMETER
is BEING CONSTRUCTED HERE

structed will MEASURE temperatures up
to about ordinary room temperature.
The object is to have standard ther-
mometer against which can be checked
the accuracy of other low temperature
Thermometers used in the United States.
Within the past few years. the field
of extremely low temperatures has be-
come of importance both in the scien-
tific laboratory and in industry and it
is still largely an unknown wonder
world.
Pressure Changes Gases.
Materials such as gases have far
different properties under extreme pres
sure. It was from experiments IN this
field a few years ago that the discovery
was first made, by Columbia University
and the Bureau of Standards working
together. of heavy hydrogen" from
which came the discovery OF heavy
water and the opening up OF a new
world of chemistry and biology.
The new thermometer is being con-
structed by r. B. Scott Of the Bureau
of Standards staff.
Within the past few months, 1t was
explained, temperatures have been at
tanned at the University of California
and at Leyden, Holland, below even
the possibilities of the helium thermom-
eter-within a fraction Of a degree OF
absolute zero itself. At this point tenn
perature is determined from the
changed magnetic properties OF the
material.
But for the present minus 434
Fahrenheit is about the limit Of prac-
tical demands on thermometer.
Evening star., 1933-10-09
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

A thermometer that will measure
Temperatures as low as 259 below zero
centigrade, or 434 below zero Fahren-
heit, is being constructed in the low
temperature laboratory of the Bureau
of Standards
A temperature of minus 434 Fahren-
heit is not very far from the lowest
temperature, minus 460, beyond which
it never will be possible to go. At MINIS
434 everything on earth, with the single
exception of helium. the gas used to
initiate airships. would be frozen solid.
There would be no air, since the gasses
of the atmosphere would be frozen.
HeIium will be used in the new ther-
mometer, according to DR.. F. G. Brick
wodde. head of the low-temperature
laboratory. This gas will be confined
in a quartz bulb immersed in the low
temperature space. The pressure OF
the gas, which is confined in constant
volume, will increase with the tempera-
ture. Thus measurement OF this pres
sure will really be measuring the tenn
perature surrounding the bulb.
If helium was an ideal gas, the change
in pressure would be exactly propor-
tional to the change in temperature
This is not precisely true, although
helium is closer to ideal than any other
gas, and corrections will have TO De
applied for exact determinations OF the
temperatures.
It was in the low temperature labor
atory of the bureau that helium f1rst
was liquified in this country.

when to place his pet in safe hands.
The veteran head keeper said the dis
play Of potentially dangerous animals
should be regulated to insure safety for
spectators and proper living conditions
for the animals. Even now, it was said
there is a movement on foot in Virgini:
to restrict permits for keeping wild
animals.

filling stations recently while driving
through the PENNSYLVANIA mountains"
Mr.. Blackburn said "One of them.
big. strong animal, was tethered to a
stake alongside the highway. The stake
was short and there was loop OF
chain over it. and the only guard rail
was a single strand Of wire.
That bears master apparently did
not know bears. They're nobody's fools.
This bear could very easily have lifted
the loop over the stake with his paws.
That sort of captivity is bad on bears
temper, because he is often surrounded
by strangers. They are apt to tease or
annoy the animal. Even friendly ges-
ture may seem Threatening to a captive
bear"
Amos, Mr.. Blackburn said. is bit
ill-humored now because of unfamiliar
surroundings. He was badly frightened
at first by the big bears in nearby cages,
but has become accustomed to them.

FEDERAL WORKERS.
REQUESTS DRAFTED
Labor Convention to Get Model"
Proposals for Consid-
Grafton.

Contending the Government should
be model employer" a declaration
OF principles to apply to working con-
dltlons is to be presented for the ap-
proval of the American Federation Of
Labor by its Legislative Committee,
which. oddly enough. is headed by an
official OF the Government, Ira NJ Orn-
burn. a Democratic member of the
Tariff Commission, sitting in the fed
Grafton convention as a delegate from
the International Cigarmakers' Union.
The committee will report to the con-
vention Wednesday or Thursday and
its recommendations are expected to
be adopted without dissent.
The section dealing with Government
employment is to be included in an
enunciation generally of the fundamen-
tails which guide labor. It is being
drafted by Gilbert Hyatt of Washing
ton, q delegate from the postal clerks,
and Miss Selma Borchardt, a teacher
at Roosevelt High School, who Is vice
president of the American Federation
OF Teachers. which she represents at
the convention.
1t will call for unqualified recognition
OF the merit system and security of
tenure of office: such benefits as sick
and annual leave and opportunity for
promotions. and will deal also with
wages and working conditions. Under
these latter items is long list of pro-
posalS, coming from various Govern
ment employe groups, chief of which is
restoration of the statutory pay scale
The right of collective bargaining,
old age pensions. unemployment insur-
ance. and abolition of child labor, are
other points on which the federation
will be called upon to reiterate ap-
proval.
In a foreword to the report, Chair
man Ornburn will emphasize that un-
der the new conditions faced by labor.
"for the clarification of our thinking
and for the enlightenment of those
without the labor movement, it behooves
US to enunciate our fundamental legis-
lative policy with finer definiteness and
greater positiveness than ever before"
Ornburn, who has been prominent
in labor circles for many years, was
appointed to the Tariff Commission by
President Hoover.

A SSISTANT SECRETARY OF
" STATE HARRY F. PAYER to-
~ day claimed he had failed to
4 \ receive his reward for reuniting
James E. WEIGH, an American
citizen. and his 5-year -old Venezuelan
daughter. Irma Francisco, who has fig
ured most of her short life as a vexing
international problem
The reward was supposed to have
been a kiss from the golden-haired,
dark-eyed little sehorita, the promise
of which Mr.. Payer had eXacted from
her red-haired father when he achieved
the diplomatic stroke that brought
about their reunion.
Irma probably would have been per-
fectly willing to bestow the kiss when
she and her father visited Secretary
Payer at his Office this morning to ex-
tend their thanks. She is a shy little
miss who doesn't understand English,
and when she was introduced to the
kindly Americana she evidently didn't
know what it was all about.
Separated Nearly Years.
Welch and the child had come to
Washington from Miami, Fla, after an
airplane flight from Trinidad, where
the daughter was delivered to him by
her guardian, Domingo Sevelli. That
was on October 4, her fifth birthday
and the occasion was the first time that
the happy father had seen his daughter
since she was 3 months old
They have taken up lodgings at 1928
Vermont avenue and will remain in
Washington until Welch makes further
plans for the new life into which his
little daughter has now entered.
She perched on Mr.. Payers desk
this morning and took an active in.
