TEMPERATURE KEY

Bureau of Standards Finds
Way to Eliminate Waste
in Electric Transmission.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Discovery of a hitherto unknown
electrical enomenon-Supercondu
ing tranSition-WaS announced yes
terday by the Bureau of Standards.
Theoretically if not practically this
discovery reported by DR.. F. B. Silsbee,
r. B. Scott and F. G. Brickwedde of
the bureau staff may be of far-reach-
ing significance.
Some years ago it was found by
Dr. BrickWedde and others that when
certain metals were cooled to exceed
ingly low temperatures, as near as
. possible to the absolute zero when all
molecular movement ceases, they lost
completely any resistance to the flow
OF an electric current.
The finding had, however, no prac-
teal significance for electrical engi-
neers
obviously there is no way of keep
Ing SuperpoWer lines at temperatures
close to absolute zero. The critical
point at which all resistance disap-
peared varied with the material
There was usually very narrow range
of temperature between no resistance
and full resistance. Starting at the
point where there was no resistance at
all and heating the conductor, the
resistance rose steadily with the tenn
perature until full resistance was
reached
The experiments were performed,
however, with very small currents
A few weeks ago the Bureau of Stand
ards physicians started experimenting
with relatively large currents. From
the point of no resistance, as the tenn
perature was raised slowly, the re-
siStanCe increased as before until it
reached nearly its full value. Then,
as the temperature was raised still
further, it dropped again until there
was practically no resistance at all,
and an appreciable further increase
in heat was necessary to bring in the
resistance permanently.
This phenomenon took place in
three eXperimentS-one with the rare
element tantalum and one with tin.
1t will be sought with other materials.
The theoretical significance of the
discovery lies in the light it may shed
on the nature of electrical conduc-
ton in general, why there is resist
ance to current flow, anyway, and
why the very desirable condition of
superconductivity does not occur at

What was Rhea doing with a

That's what I asked her, so
she told me. She was in love with
him, and horribly afraid I was
going to swoon from the shock.
She confessed she hadn't had the
courage to rite me the facts"

What could I say?" Tommy
grinned rather shamelessly. IT

is hard to explain but I've known

FOREMAN SHOT,
WORKMAN HELD
Prisoner Quoted as Saying
He Believed Victim Caused
Pay Cut.

George F. Martin. foreman at tho
Continental Baking Co.. 23o1 Georgia
avenue, was shot and seriously wounded
yesterday by an elderly workman who
blamed him for recent pay cut.
John Arciprete, 65, of 3215 Sixth
street, went to the tenth precinct
shortly after the shooting and gave
himself up. Police said he admitted
shooting Martin and surrendered the
pistol which he bad used. He was on
an open charge.
Martin, AZ, who lives at 5000 Fifth
street, was taken to Garfield Hospital
by other employees of the bakery. His
condition had not been determined
defln1tely today. He was wounded in
the abdomen.
Lieut.. George e. Darnealle. chief of
the homicide squad, who questioned
Arclprete, said he explained that he
shot Martin because he believed him
responsible for pay cut from s27 to
S2l weekly that went into effect a few
months ago. Arciprete had been en-
ployed at the bakery for 80 years,
working there long before the Con-
tlnental Co. took over the plant pre-
Vously known as Corby's Bakery.
Darneall said Arciprete walked into
the second-foor baking room yester-
day armed with pistol; an ice nick
and butcher knife. The latter two
weapons were intended for his pro-
tectlon in case he was attacked by
other employees after emptyng his gun.
Arciprete was quoted as saying. He
found Martin leaning over an oven
and shot three times. only one of
the bullets hitting the foreman

The Commissioners have asked that
the speakers discuss in particular i'm

should be granted La the next fiscal
year for their own communities, but
also will welcome debate on the total
size OF the budget. Rough calculations
have indicated the requests made by
the municipal department heads may
exceed $65,000,000, or approximately
$70,000,000 more than the aggregate of

Consumers Services, Inc, Will

BALTIMORE, September 7.-Plans
for operation of Greenbeltl-first at
tempt to run an entire community
without profit-were disclosed here
today in a certificate of incorpora-
ton filed with the State Tax Commits
sion.
Greenbelt, built by the now defunct
Resettlement Administration, is not
yet occupied. However, plans are vir-
tually completed for more than 800
families to move in.
The experiment was made possible
through the philanthropy of Edward
A. Fllene, Boston merchant, who set
up the Consumer Distribution Corp.
some time ago with gift of $1,000
600. General plans for operation of
Greenbelt as the non-profit commun-
lty were announced last week in New
York by Herbert E. Evans. vice pres
ident Of the Consumer Distribution
Corp.
Evans was named as one of the
three directors of the Greenbelt Con-

up to manage the enterprise. Its cap
ital stock was set at $4,000 of 500
shares at $1OO each
