Giant SeorchIight to Trace
Air Gases for Johns Hopkins

ment used to study the markeup o1
the air surrounding the earth.
The spectrometer sorts out the
light and tells the scientists which
gases it has passed through on its
awy to the machine. The answere
are recorded automatically.
A Johns Hopkins announcement
said it will be the first time a
searchlight has been used for such
study. BY using the sun as a light
source, researchers have been able
to explore the atmosphere as a
whole. But isolating different lev
els of the air for study is another
problem. That's where the big
lamp comes in.
The project is sponsored by the
Navy in the interest of pure sci
ence. The Navy believes discoveries
about the atmosphere will have
important practical applications
like improved methods of weather
forecasting.

Elizabeth Gilman. daughter of the
first president of Johns Hopkins

didate Governor. died yesterday
after a long illness. She was 81.
Miss Lizzie" as she was known
affectionately over the years, was
a dynamic personality who stirred
deeply into the social reform cam
paigns of her time. Yet she re-
fused to be a martyr.

picket lines and in crusades for
at-the- time unpopular causes, she
never was afoul of the law. She
spunned advice once giver her by
Upton Sinclair to get arrested
and stay arrested

1867, in New Haven, Conn. the
daughter of DR.. Daniel Colt and
Mary Ketcham Gilman. Her
parents came to Baltimore in 1875
and a year later when Johns
Hopkins was founded DR.. Gilman
became it's head.
Miss Gilman began her active
participation in reform programs
by organizing workshop for 100
jobless men during the recession
of 1915. Later she continued the
shop for handicapped persons.
She was converted to the cause
of socialism as early as 1915 but
did not formally join the party
until 10 years later. Then it
happened with a surge.
She jumped on the Socialist
bandwagon and became a guber-
material candidate, the first
woman to run for Governor of
Maryland. She also ran for pres
idential elector in 1882, cam
paigned for the United States
Senate in 1884 and 1898, and for
Mayor of Baltimore in 1885.
In July. 1947, she fell and broke
her hip but recovered sufficient to
attend church and a few outside
functions until her recent illness.
