100000 VOTES IN
PRIMARY FORECAST
Winborne Set for Safe Ma
jority of 1t; Figure Looks
High To Some

Raleigh, May 21-With the voting
onlv two weeks off, size OF the bal
loting on June is beginning to come
in for a bit of speculation on the
part of political prognostlcators as
well as candidates for statewide Of
flee.
The very first mention of figures
This correspondent has heard was the
statement that Stanley Winborne
would get two hundred and seventy
five thousand votes out OF four nun
dred and fifty thousand cast IN the
Utility Commissioner race. NeedlesS
to say, the estimate came from a red
hot Winborne supporter.
The N. c. record was set In 1865
super-heated first primary, when
total of 516864 votes were distributed
among HCey, Mcdonald, Graham ana
McRae.
In view of the comparatively slow
tempo of this springs battling,
100000 estimate looks high; though
If must be borne in mind that heated
Congressional and judicial races, in
addition to many torrid local sweep
stakes, will pull voters to the polls
who would go fishing so far as the
current statewide contests GU. s. Sen
ator and Utility Commissioner are
concerned.
Like the Democratic State platform,
this correspondent will now do a lit
tie horn-blowing. We point with pride
to exact fulfillment of the prediction
made exclusively by this bureau.
It was predicted that the only eff
forts to get planks in the platform
would be made by supporter sof Crop
Control (notably the N. c. EARN Blu
reau Federation) and by Labor
through the State Federation. It was
further predicted that neither effort
would get anywhere.
That's just what happened.
Congressional races in the Sixth
and Eighth are made confused and
complex by a multiplicity of candi.
dates. 1t seems certain that there will
be a first general scramble in EACH
then a hot and heavy second primary.
That has been the outlook all along,
and it wasn't changed bit by events

Krause to Play
 FirenlGn's Five
 Tomorrow Nighi
Miners Will Cap Night with Henning' Balance
 Looks Good

Tomorrow night will see the two teams of the City Basketball Leagu in action that haven't yet shown their wares this season. Krause and Bremen, scheduled to play the opener of a doubleheader.
 Neither Krause Concreters or the Smoke Eaters have yet played a game on this seasons schedule, and whose squad is strongest is another case of doubt, for both teams ap- pear to have a lot of strength.
 Ed Metzgar, familiar in Juneau basketball circles from past seasons as the rangy chap who has sweet enchanted push shot that may help the Bremen to chalk up a victory.
 On the other hand, this Leonard Bishop, playing for Krause, will be up for test before typically crit ical Juneau audience that has heard great deal about this dynamic little forward who report edly played with the nationally famous Tulsa Oilers.
 In the second half of the double header, the Al squad will try for another victory when they mix with the Hennings Clothing five.
 This nightcap will probably prove how far this Henning's Five is likely to go this season, and will undoubtedly test what apparently is a strong defense. for the Miners are a hard driving combination with almost any man in it's roster a dangerous shot.

was relieved. "It's him we heard,
of course
Queer noises!" Priscilla NUT
tered. I'm going to have look,
anyhow" o
The sounds were quite audible
now-the murmuring of voices, the
clicking of glass on glass.
AS quietly as she could Priscilla
pulled a convenient box underneath
small opening high in the dividing
wall. One glance and she stepped
down weakly.
Isis it really a ha'nt?" gasped
Kate.
''It's Ike and another man, boot
Logging as hard as they can. Think
of it! With Mrs. Berry off working
for the prohibition cause and all of
us teetotal abstainers! We must get

door on the other side and it's bolt
ed on this, so their only way Of
getting out is the hatchway. You
go get Mrs: Duncan and Mrs. Slaw-
son and meet me out there quick
as ever you can"
In the gathering dusk four old la
dies seated themselves very softly
in an exact row where the two doors
of the hatchway came together.
There they awaited the arrival of
the policeman Priscilla had sum-
moned by way of a passing boy.
The wind blew chill but no one no

self.

miss the fun," Priscilla whispered.

Think of Mrs Berry's face when

was full of exaltation. 81 guess

All Help Make Rain in
Some Indirect Name

Professional ''rainmakers' with
their mystifying apparatus, are the
butt of many a joke, but all per-
sons on earth, is times minute
throughout their collective lives,
help make rain The scientific rea-
soning behind this seeming riddle is
described by G. R Wait, depart
ments of terrestrial magnetism Of
the Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton.
Tiny particles, too small to be
seen even with the most powerful
microscopes, float in the air and
form the centers around which wa
ter vapor in the air collects and
condenses to form rain. These par
ticles, whose composition is still un-
known to scientists, are called con-
densation-nuclei.
While such nuclei cannot be seen
directly, states Wait, ingenious, in
direct methods make them create
artificial raindrops in scientific APP
paratus and thus form spots large
enough to be seen in microscopes.
In this way the tremendous number
floating in the air, at all times, is
now known.
Studies reported by Wait Indicate
that the average person, each min
ute during his life, breathes out some
5000, 100000 of these condensation
nuclei. This is about 100000 each
second or about 100000, 900 for each
breath, based on breathing once ev-
cry four seconds
While these man-created nuclei
do have part in becoming centers
for future raindrops, they are few
er than the enormous number pro-
duced whenever anything is burned.
Home furnace fires, concentrated
manufacturing areas like steel mills
and even the salt particles from the
ocean itself all produce condenss-
tion-nuclei.
Smoking cigars, pipes and ciga-
rettes furnish potent factor in the
creation of such nuclei indoors. One
pipeful of tobacco, when smoked
produced $500, 1000, 600, 900 large ions
in the air. Three cigarettes contrib
uted around 300, 1000, 900, 900. One PEI
son smoking in room will produce
as many large ions as IS persons
not smoking.

Many Knots in a Rug

Rug weaving is today one Of the
most important and interesting in
dustries of Athens. Thousands of
the Greeks who were repatriated
from Turkey had been weavers
there and brought back with them
that art. The best rugs have nearly
100000 knots per square yard. A
skilled woman can tie on the aver
age 10000 knots day Most of the
rug making is carried on in single
suburb of the city, but other sec
tons are now taking up the trade.
