Scientists Are Amazed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Scien-
fists here were amazed that a steel
ship like Moro Castle could be de-
stroyed by lightning fire.
DR.. William j. Humphreys, light

hulled vessels with steel masts are
usually considered very safe.
Lightning might strike a ship, he
said, but if metal parts are contin-

pass harmlessly down ' to water.
salty ocean water is one of the most
effective electrical grounds known.
If the ship has wooden masts,

Symphony Gives
Final Concert
Or Season
By RONALD THORNE

The Boston Symphony Orches-
ira, which, under the baton of
Dr.. Serge KouSSevitzky, can uni
formly be counted upon for dis
tinguished performances, at yes
terday's concert in Constitution
Hall, its last Of the season, almost
surpassed itself in a brilliant pro-
gram which comprised Bach
concerto, Schubert's Unfinished
Symphony, and Tschaikowsky's
marvellous Fifth Symphony, by
some critics regarded as his
greatest work.
The concert was given under
the local management of Mrs.
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, who an
nounces that the Boston Sym
phony will make three appear
ances in Washington next season,
on Wednesday afternoons.
The Bach work played was Con-
certo No. 3 Of the Brandenburg
group, a composition in G major
for string orchestra. It has two
movements only, allegro moderate
and allegro. It reveals the hand
Of Bach throughout. Reasonably
familiar to concert-goers, it is an
admirable and interesting COM
position of its type.
schubert's Unfinished Symphony
is one of the best known works
in orchestral literature, for it
possesses an extraordinary appeal
to the emotions. It has achieved
marked popularity in recent years,
both in concert programs and on
the radio. DR.. KouSsevitzky gave
it a remarkably fine Interpretation
yesterday which was thoroughly
appreciated by the audience.
The final work, the Tschaikow.
sky Fifth Symphony, is one Of
the titanS of modern symphonic
achievement, and although the
composer himself was at first
disappointed with it, in recent
years it has come to rank
with, or perhaps even ahead, of
the "Pathetique." Its tremendous
finale is the chief glory of this
masterpiece, though the second
movement, the andante cantabile,
is extraordinarily popular and has
enjoyed radio vogue of almost
unexampled proportions.

MEN HOPEFUL

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 4. UP)-Expec-
tation that the Public Works Ad-
ministration will loan $3500,00 for
development of the flax and linen
industry has aroused great interest
in Western Oregon.
Fiber flax has been grown sue
cessfully in the Willamette VAL
ley for many years, with the pro-
cessing plant owned by the state
penitentiary, said to be the only one
in the United States. Two liner
mills at Salem consume part of the
penitentiarys output and the rest
is sold in the east.
Granting of the loan would re-
suit in additional flax paintings OF
at least $4,000 acres, it is said, with
erection of a number of processing
plants in different parts of the
valley. A large linen mill would
probably be built at Salem.
The Public Works Administration
is considering making the loan, ac-
cording to reports from Will H. Lip
man, promoter of the flax industry,
now in Washington, in order to es-
tablish new industry and provide
market for greater variety of
agricultural products.

Rv HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. - The new
1884 model George Herman Ruth
was unveiled at Mr.. Artie MeGoy-
ern IS combination showroom and
gymnasium yesterday, and most of
the critics agreed that it looked
like the same old machine.
A little roomier. perhaps, and a
trifle more weight in the body, but
on the whole Just about the same
old bus that has been touring the
country for the past 20 years.
Mr.. McGovern admitted himself
that he was not entirely satisfied

il now stands.
ats a trifle bulky for every day
use. but hope to have it ready by
April. A little stream lining here
and there. and the removal of that
spare tire in the center viii add
much TO its grace and effectiveness.
The 1884 model Ruth has the same
old underpinning, and it's getting
a bit shaky'
Mr.. McGovern was asked what
the George Herman Ruth would sell
for this year.
"Well, - he replied, that's hard
to tell Time was when a model
like this brought as much as $4,000.
And it was cheap at the price. But
last year the best we could do was
$4,000. and it's doubtful if it II
bring that much this season. You
see, Colonel Jacob Rupert is the
only man we we found who could
afford a genuine George Herman
Ruth, and the colonel wasn't ex-
actly satisfied with the 1888 model.
"He seems to doubt if the glory
of owning the only real Ruth in
existence, and the ornament it af-
fords for the right lawn of his

He has intimated that he wants a
faster and more durable model this
year. As we only have 40-year-old
parts to work with l don 7 know
whether we can give him what he
wants. If not, and if the colonel
can't be persuaded to pay purely
out of sentiment, we may have to
cut the price to around S35,000.'
Suppose Colonel Rupert refused
to go even that high? What then?
Were there any other buyers in
sight?
''Well, it would be a shame to
take the George Herman Ruth off
the big league market, but l doubt
if it could go for any less than
that. The radio people pay fancy
prices for what they want these
days, especially if it S the best.
Maybe they'd like to make the
George Herman Ruth exclusively
theirs for a few years.
With that Mr.. McCiovern jumped
on the George Herman Ruth, 1884
model. turned it over on its side,
and started beating it with both
fists. At the same time his assist
ants pelted it from hood TO license
