Durham, April 26.-The United
States patent office has just issued
patent No. 2,154,354 to Russell RAN
son, instructor in electrical engineer
ing at Duke university. The title of
the patent is Regulators" and in it
is described a number of methods of
controlling the output voltage of
electric generators, or other devices,
by means of certain types of vacuum
tubes, the tubes themselves being
controlled by special voltage sensi-
tive circuits devised by Mr.. aRnson.
The device is of wide applicability to
all types of direct current genera
tors, and makes available for the first
time simOle, accurate, and reliable
method for obtaining a constant and
predetermined output voltage which
is so necessary for many industrial
applications.
Heretofore closely regulated out
put voltage has been attained only
by means of such complicated devices
that the cost was prohibitive except
in a few extreme cases. Mr.. RanSOn's
regulator is simple and inexpensive.
At the same time it permits of much
closer regulation than has ever be-,
fore been obtained with commercial
devices. 1t makes laboratory regula-
ton available to industry at large.
The extensive research work re-
quired for this development was car
ried out in the laboratories of the
electrical engineering department.
When Mr.. Ransom first came here in
1885 he was assigned the task of de-
veloping a much needed voltage
regulator for the use of the labora-
tory, there being none available at

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, April 26.-Operations
against the japanese beetle, pest over
which there was so much discussion
during the recent legislature, have
resulted in treatment of some $50
acres in four cities, while soil poison
ing is in progress in several other To-
calities.
Completed operations include SO
acres treated in Winston-Salem, 70
acres in Greensboro, 20 acres in Will
mingto nand 10 acres in Sanford.
Other city work still to be finish
ed includes Charlotte, 6 acres; Dur
ham 7 acres; Elizabeth City, acres;
High Point 10 acres; Spencer and E.
Spencer, SIS acres; and Raleigh, 8
acres.
The treatment consists in applica-
ton of 1000 pounds of arsenate of
lead per acre by government spray
erS. This treatment is said to be prac-
tically 100 per cent effective, and if
the beetle can be effectively poison
ed in the cities where they always
start first, spread to crop centers can
be prevented for an indefinite time.
No titles changed as the result of
Charlotte's city head election. It's
still Mayor Ben Douglas and Repre-
sentative j. B. VOgler.
Senator Jack Morphew came down
from the mountains of Graham to
Raleigh Tuesday. He says prospects
for a fine tourist season in the west
are extremely bright, if early signs
are really indicative.
He cited the recent opening of Lake
SanteelN to fishermen for two days
and the resultant collection of some
thing like $500 in license fees from
the ambitious anglers who literally
fringed the wonderfully beautiful
lake.

which makes mandatory embargo on arms ship
ments to belligerents. There two schools Of
thought. One advocates the cash and carry bill
which means that any nation wanting to, IN
war time, same as in peace time, can buy any
thing it wants to in the United States, providing,
it pays cash, carries it away in it's own ship and
at its risk. The opposition contention is
that in the present European the cash ard
carry plan would amount to an alliance with
Great Britain and France, since they alone have
the cash and ships to profit by this sort of pro-
gram, and that therefore the only way to insure
peace for America is to forbid all traffic with
warning nations. To be there are other
elements in both programs, such as the prohibi-
ton of Americans sailing passenger vessels
belonging to belligerents and other limitations
which would prevent citizens from engaging
in business placing themselves in such situa-
tions as might involve us in international con-
troversies.
Those who oppose the cash and carry plan
claim that it would make the United States "a
munitions depot of Great Britain and France"
and in the end lead us into war. But let us keep
in mind that the United States has since it
became great industrial factor in the world
been "a munitions depot for warning nations"
usually trading with both Sides Did not Amer
ican trucks and tractors carry the Japanese into
Manchukuo, and Missouri mules packed Musso-
linis mountain batteries in Ethiopia? Practical-
ly every Latin-American revolution was munI-
toned by our gun factories. Japan and China
years ago drew their military supplies largely
from the United States Was not the same thing
true of the Russo-Japanese war? And was not
Great Britain munitions depot for the Confed-
eracy IN our Civil war? In our war with Spain
over Cuba. when Mckinley was president we
bought extensively from England, and somehow
managed to pick up cruiser. Did any of these
episodes bring war to the supplying nation? In
the World war our entry into that conflict was
not because we were munitions depot for the
allies Gt may have been contributing factor)
but because we had other place to go when
Germany started sinking our merchant ships
regardless OF their destination or their cargoes-
In her submarine campaign to clear the ocean of
carriers.
But what we started out to say is that the
problems that face this special session of con-
gress are OF grave importance-too grave to per-
init OF controversy and delay. Let congress pre-
sent united front governmentay. Let us keep
clear OF this war; Domestic politics can wait
let us not complicate this special session with
partisan politics-or by anything else that would
convey the Impression abroad that we are dl-
vlded country. The next general election is a
year from November, SO let politics be kept clear
OF the very serious problems congress is meet
ing to consider.

A Word OF Caution

The fine improved streets here especial
ly those in the school zones, should be used with
hill at high rate of speed-so fast that it would
be impossible to bring them quickly to stop.
At certain times during the day, hundreds of pu-
pills are entering or leaving the school zones
many by automobile, some by bicycle but the
greater number walking. Signs placed
about the streets about the school buildings call
ing attention to the school zones, and these signs
should be strictly observed.
Now that schools are again in full swing, let
also remind motorists of the law regarding
passing of school buses, etc. These buses
loaded with the most precious thing in the
world. The law requires rigid inspection of
school buses and strict examination of bus driv
ers, so there is very little danger of accidents
because of inferior buses or poor drivers. Where
the danger comes in is from motorists who al
ways in great hurry to get some place-many
of them don't know where, who take all sorts of
chances-not alone with their own lives, but with
the lives of others.

No Food Shortage

There is abundance of food in the United
States. In fact there are great surpluses; and
there is very little likelihood of our country being
drawn into the European But since it was
declared in Europe there has been sharp ad-
vance in the price of food stuffs Several rea-
sons for the increase given, such as specula-
ton and prohteering. 1t is also stated that one
reason may be because many families buying
far beyond their immediate needs, and in so do
ing creating temporary shortages. If there
those who profteering, specializing,
boarding food supplies they making grave
errors The public in general will resent such
action, and in the long may be against

After reading of the death Of
Miss Ada Ryan, of GAINESVILLE, June
29, 1889, we recall her grandfath
er, John Ryan, was one of the ear

our grandfather John Ray, and his
two brothers Thomas and Joseph,
came in 1892; grandfather and
Thomas bought land. The former
died May IS, 1861; Thomas, May
25 1885. Much of the life story
was told in our Bristol cemetery
writings.

they paid the postage. Perhaps
there is where they got the c. O. ID.
