Official Suceumbs to Heart Attack
Harry B. Newman, So years old,
OF 2802 Franklin Street, Wilmington,
secretary to Harry G. Haskell, a
vice-president of the dupont Com
pany, died Tuesday afternoon at
about 5 o'clock, as the result OF a
heart attack suffered several days
ago. Mr.. Newman entered the hos
pital last Tuesday. His condition
had been critical since that time.
Mr.. Newman has been associated
with the dupont Company since 1901,
when he was employed at the Re-

Wilmington until 1919, when he was
transferred to the cOmpany's Ser

banded in 1926, he returned to the
Service Department for special du-
ties. Since June, 1880, he has been
secretary to Mr.. Haskell.
Mr.. Newman was one of the old
est of those employees who served
directly under all the leaders OF
the explosives business of the COM
pany during the time the company
was developing into the leading eX-
plosives manufacturer of the coun-
try. He later served. in the same
capacity to departments of the
company during the formative and
later periods of the company's de-
velopment. He had a very wide per-
sonal acquaintance with the officials |
OF the company because of this.
Native of Pennsylvania
Mr.. Newman was born at Myers |
town, Pa, May 2, 1888, and educated !
in the public schools of that place. |
Those surviving are his wife (nee |
Cora Turner), of Wilmington; two |
sons by a former marriage, Harry B. |
Newman, Jr., of Wilmington, and |
Paul H. Newman, of Trenton, N. j.,
and Mrs. Sally B. GOckly, an aunt,

DREARY EASTER WEATHER

The old saying about the prevail
ing winds on Easter Sunday, that as
the wind prevailed Easter Sunday,
so it will prevail for forty days,
made dreary outlook for the month
of May-so far as cold winds and
bad weather is to be concerned; for
all day on Easter Sunday, not one
ray of sunshine, or agreeable Wea-
ther condition prevailed during any
part of Sunday. Rainfall through
sea fog which chilled even with top
coats, held until well on in to early
Monday morning. There was not
even a breeze to disturb the Op-
pressive fog during the entire "a
hours. Monday the clouds broke with
the rising of sun, and the winds, a
light breeze from the south and west
brought a drying condition which
made wonderful contrast with the
conditions of Easter Sunday. The
light winds prevailed during all of
Monday, with rising thermometer,
which brought rapid growth of the
grass and flowers, and started a real
spring-time condition for all of
lower Delaware. Let's hope that
real Delaware spring-time without
any fiarebacks, will witness the ad-
vent of May-time on the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula. A few songs from birds,
and frogs, as we'll as the pesky mos
quito will be welcome. Plant and
prepare the flowers gardens, for
these make home more happy for
everyone.

FEDERAL LAND BANK
REDUCES INTEREST RATE

Within the past two weeks the
Federal Land Bank of Baltimore hal
voluntarily reduced its interest rate
to borrowers, and loans may be OBJ
tanned now through the National
Farm Loan Associations at the rate
OF Az per cent, according to Charles
S. Jackson, president.
The last reduction was effective
April 10th and concerns the entire
term of loans, most OF which are
granted for 20 or 33 years.
From the time the Emergency
Farm Mortgage Act Of 1888 was
passed up to April 1st Of this year,
the Federal Land Banks made loans
through the National Farm Loan As
sociations at per cent, with tenn
pOrary reduction to Az per cent un-
til July 18th, 1888. After that date
loans made during the tWo-year Pc
riOd will bear interest at the rate of
. per cent. New loans, however,
made at 4A per cent will bear that
interest for the entire life of the
loan. Loans made directly to bOr-
rOwers by the land banks carry an
interest rate One-half per cent high
er than those made through national
Iarm loan associations.
The interest rate on Land Bank
Commissioner loans, which are made
on either first or second mortgage
security, will remain at per cent
per annum.
The interest rate of Az per cent
Is the lowest at which the Federal
Land Banks have ever made loans
during the Is years of history" Mr..
Jackson stated. in commenting on

Hunt said his letter calls attention

been compelled to assume approx

asserted, Hunt said, that "a default

this assumption and this potential
danger to Goodrich were not called to
the attention of Goodrich stockholders
in the solicitation of proxies for the

100 ThunderbOltsa Second
Continued from page seven
Continued from page seven

sures or voltages associated with a
lightning discharge might impart high
energy to particles. Dr. Secondhand
finds that such is the case In the
lightning discharge air molecules are
smashed, the subatomic particles
known as electrons are knocked out of
their atoms, and then sent hurting off
at terrific speeds.
Because these electrons are cleo
trically charged. they respond to the
influence of the Earth's magnetism,
and so are swerved into curving paths
whose final effect is TO make them
sweep down in westerly direction. as
though they were coming from the
east. Their influence may be appre-
ciable at distance of 1000 miles
from their place of generation, says
DR.. Schonland And since thunder
storms are raging somewhere con-
tinually, with an average of 5000
lightning bolts flashing through the
Earth's atmosphere every minute, we
may picture the thunderbolt rays as
continually speeding through the air
at velocities exceeding those of the
particles shot out of radium.
These runaway" electrons, as
they have been called, acquire such
high speeds that they will penetrate
thick plates of metal. They are de-
tected by the sensitive instruments
used for measuring the cosmic rays,
which they closely resemble. In fact,
c. T. r. Wilson has suggested that the
cosmic rays are made up. in part at
least, of these runaway electrons; so
that the cosmic rays may not be so
''cosmic" after all.
Whether the electrical wild horse
power of the atmosphere will ever be
tanned and harnessed is question;
but there is no doubt that science is
advancing rapidly in its understanding
of the thunderbolt. and that engineer
ing is rapidly putting this knowledge
to use in protective devices. Forty
years ago it was customary for electric
power plants to shut down during a
thunderstorm. To keep the transmits
sion lines open was to court disaster.
But today systems operate at full
capacity during the most severe
lightning conditions, and breakdowns
from this cause have become exceed
ingly rare.
Only few years ago lightning was
one of the most serious menaces to oil
fields and tanks where petroleum and
gasoline are stored, but today pro-
tective overhead systems conduct the
incendiary bolts harmlessly into the
ground. Perhaps it is not too much to
expect that some day the forests -
the most numerous victims of light
ming - will be effectively protected
against this greatest of all sources Of
forest fires.
