RETIREMENT LAW
CHANGE SOUGHT
Bill by Wheeler Would Transfer
Supervision to Civil
Service.

Supervision over the Government
employees retirement law would be
transferred from the Veterans Admin
istration to the Civil Service Commis-
sion under bill introduced late yes
terday by Senator Wheeler, Democrat,
of Montana. The carrying out of the
retirement law is one of the functions
of the commissioner Of pensions, and
for the past two years has been han
died through the Veterans Bureau.
The Wheeler bill also makes several
other changes in the retirement law
One proposed amendment would bring
under the retirement law all regular
annual employees of legislative and
judicial branches Of the Government
Earlier yesterday the Senate Civil
Service Committee reported favorably
another bill which would bring under
the retirement law those employees at
the Capitol who are not already af-
fected by it. Employees who come under
the Office of the Architect of the
Capitol are already subject to the re-
tirement law.
1t was pointed out that comparatively
few Of the employees in the Offices of
members Of the Senate and House
remain in the Government service long
enough to go on the retired list. For
such employees the 312 per cent which
would be deducted from their salaries
under the retirement law would be in
the nature of saving they would draw
out when they leave the service.

prove an aid to photography. Details
affecting the rock as a whole, which
might be missed under the microscope,
stand out to the naked eye under this

study of the trilobites and the cephalo-
pods which swarmed in the primeval

the discrimination of minute details of

This phenomenon of fluorescence is

vision is concerned by the color effects
due to the other wavelengths, especially
those of the visible light range. If there
could be a deep twilight, but with the
same intensity of ultraviolet radiation
as at high noon, the familiar scenes of
town and country would change into
vistas of fairyland.
What actually goes on In the interior
of the rock remains obscure. But it is
known that some of the energy of the
ultraviolet ray is used up in producing
molecular agitation. 1t is the surplus
energy which is not consumed in this
process and which is discarded that

f1uorescence.

TWO-HOUR LUNCH
PERIOD FORECAST
Pittsburgh Smoke Regulation
Head Cites Body Need
for Sunshine.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, January 13.-Take It
from H. B. Meller-and he's an expert
If you are an Office or factory worker
in large industrial center, you prob
ably need two hours off for lunch.
Meller is chief Of Pittsburgh's Bu-
reau of Smoke Regulation, and he
described investigations into air hy-
giene for the Cleveland chapter Of the
American Society Of Heating and Ven
tilating Engineers.
He admitted the quest of science for
pure air is far from complete, but as
serted that enough Is known to point
the way to changed working conditions
in industrial and commercial plants.
Two-Hour Lunch Possible.
For instance" he said, "if the short
er work-day Is adopted, 1t may be found
highly desirable for both health and
efficiency reasons to have a general
two-hour midday lunch period, much
Of which would be spent outdoors in
the open sunshine"
Meller explained that ultraviolet
emanations from the sun do net reach
the street level in abundance before 10
am, or after 3 pm.
THE body" he added, has the sun
thirst only in these hours" For that
reason, he said, shorter working day
would afford greater time for the work
er to obtain the benefits Of solar radia-
ton.
He asserted atmospheric pollution Is
barrier to the full enjoyment Of health
and happiness in industrial centers"
and presented o program for elimina-
tion Of visible smoke through complete
combustion Of the fuel and minimiza-
ton of ash by means Of its separa-
ton from the f1ue gases.
Homes Cause Smoke Nuisance.
"In recent winters, especially In the
last three months" he said, under
abnormally low industrial and COM
mercial consumption of coal, 1t has been
found that unregulated home furnaces
and stoves are able to keep up the SCOT
and tar nuisances in annoying and
damaging volume"
Meller asserted IAN immense amount
of city real estate will not be brought
out of the red until it Is also brought
out of the SCOT, tar and cinder zone.
"Air hygiene will pay big dividends
In health and lowered operating costs
in home, Office, store and factory
alike" he concluded.

N indescribably weird and lovely
~ world of golden streets, rose-red
"A cities, amethyst mountains and
4 4 blossoming rockpiles, approach
ing an artists vision of Para
disc, lies just beyond the threshold of
human vision.
It is the familiar, everyday world
under the invisible ultra ,-Jlet light
with visible illumination mostly, or en-
tirely, cut off. The phenomenon is in
progress all the time but the eye can
not see ii.
At the Smithsonian Institution there
are being conducted a series of expert
ments with a recently discovered prop
erty Of minerals to emit color under
ultraviolet illumination Since ultra
violet is invisible it might be assumed
that 1t would have no effect at all on
the color of objects. What happens
is that these penetrating rays enter the
mineral and set up molecular agita-
ton which, in turn, causes the object
to "fiuoresce," the color of the f1uor-
escence depending on the characteristic
ultraviolet sensitivity of that particular
kind of rock. Under the eye, chunk
of dirty brown stone turns to a lump
Of glittering gold, piece of colorless
f1uorite into jewel of flashing, un-
edTIIlly Dlut, d DlC Ol COIIlLIOu CdlC1tS
into a fiower-like pink.
Valuable Results Promised.
Different minerals differ greatly In
their ultraviolet sensitivity. Thus this
property promises to become a valuable
tool in the hands of scientists. 1t Is
possible to make a crude, instantaneous
analysis of chunk of stone which for
merly would have required hours OF dl1-
ficult chemical procedure. The MIN
eralogist can tell from the color effects
approximately what the rock contains.
If there is a blue glow of certain
shade, for example, he knows that there
is f1uorite present.
James H. Benn. Smithsonian min
eralogist, is investigating the f1uores-
cent properties under ultraviolet light
of practically all known minerals in
order to provide a fundamental color
table for the use of other investigators.
Striking differences are found and Mr..
Benn already has discovered Is addi-
tional minerals having this property.
Many minerals do not fuoresce at
all Some change color only When
there are slight impurities present. The
reason for this remains an enigma.
Calcite, one of the most common min
erals in the earths surface, turns from
dirty white to pink only If there is q
slight trace of manganese present. II
there Is too little or too much the ef-
feet does not take place. Presumably
the manganese acts in some way as an
actiyator for the surrounding calcite
molecules. OF two samples of calcite
collected from the same field, one will
change color and the other will not.
Some minerals will fluoresce when the
source of the ultraviolet illumination
is mercury arc, and fail to show any
effect when an iron arc is used. Others
show Just the opposite behavior. 1t Is
a big puzzle to be worked out for the
entire table of minerals.

DYNAMITE SOURCE
IN KILLING SOUGHT
Tests Are Awaited to Reveal
Finally Explosive Used
in Kirk Staying.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEONARDTOWN, Md, January I3.-
Authorities investigating the death of
Miss Ida Kirk sought today to trace the
dynamite which an assassin is believed
to have planted in her car last Friday
night
They are convinced a dynamite bomb
killed the 73-year-old philanthropist,
although the result of laboratory tests
to determine the type of explosive was
awaited today.
Detectives from Baltimore and local
authorities are canvassing merchants
highway crews, stump blowers" and
others handling dynamite in the county
in an effort to learn if the explosive
could have been stolen locally.
Dynamite Is Founo.
Two sticks of dynamite were found
near the spot where Miss Kirk parked
her car Friday night. They presumably
were left by the agent who manufac-
tured the bomb.
The explosive, attached to the muff-
Ter of Miss Kinks automobile, fatally
injured the spinster Saturday morning
shortly after she left Chaptico to drive
to Washington.
The will disposing OF Mss Kinks es-
tate probably will be made public in a
few days. It was placed on file here
early this week, but the contents will
not be disclosed until the beneflciaries
come to the court house to hear the
will read.
Miss Kirk was reputed to be worth
more than 100000.
More than score Of friends and as
sociates of the dead woman have been
questioned in an effort to develop a
motive for the crime.
Admits Throwing Away Shell.
The explosion left no trace Of a
bomb or firing mechanism. Authori-
ties at first supposed they had tangible
evidence Of bomb In the shape OF an
empty shotgun shell, picked up near
the spot where Miss Kirk left her car
overnight last Friday, but q small boy
living in the neighborhood admitted
yesterday that he threw down the
shell. other shells were said to have
been scattered about the vicinity by
youths.
Lawrence Gau OF Baltimore, firearms
expert for the Maryland State Police
was expected to report here today on
the result of chemical tests to determine
the nature of the explosive used. Parts
of the destroyed car were removed to
Baltimore for examination late Wednes-
day.
