Stray Currents
BY JESSE GREEN

ELECTRICAL CURRENTS may
develop under many different cir
cumstances. When a gas or liquid
flows through a pipe, small part
of the energy from the moving ma
teriaI is converted into electrical
energy.
1t may seem little strange, but
the currents developed by gases or
liquids moving against the walls of
a pipe are not very different from
those developed by the first static
generators in which a moving glass
plate was rubbed on felt. We recall
that the current for the first X-ray
machine was developed in this way.
A more simple example is the spark
we get from a moving belt or by
stroking the fur of cat.
Anyway, stray currents are de-
veIoped along pipes in our homes,
or on gas and oil lines running across
the country. These currents, though
feeble, do considerable damage. 1t is
well known that electric currents will
dissolve metal from an electrode
suspended in a solution, or will take
metal out of solution and plate
it back on an electrode as in the
case of electro-plating. The same ac-
ton goes on where currents are
formed or allowed to flow along
pipes. The metal of the pipe is dis
solved away and leak develops.
This may happen around home or
out along the big pipelines.
One of the conditions favoring the
deterioration of pipe along which
current is flowing is the presence
of alkali salts. When pipe runs
through soil with a high alkali con-
tent, something must be done to
protect it. 1t may be painted or a
more resistant copper pipe may be
used in place of the easily dissolved
iron pipe.
The big pipeline operators use
number of means to keep stray cur
rents from eating up their lines. One !
of the most widely used methods is
the wind generator so often seen
winding away with no apparent pur-
pose in some isolated spot. These
wind generators produce direct cur
rent which is wired down to the
pipeline One terminal is wired to
the ground and the other to the pipe,
SO the generated current opposes the
current flowing along the pipe and
annuls it. Thus a planned current is
driven against the stray current and
he dissolving action on the pipe is
stopped
1t is just another example Of how
he engineer meets a little trifling
which can be his downfall
t allowed to go unbridIed.

Injunction Seeks
To Block Pool

Sixty-eight residents of the
Green Acres section of Mont
Igomery County yesterday sought
Ia Circuit Court injunction to
prevent the proposed construc-
ton Of a swimming pool in the
area by the Little Falls Swim
ming Club.
The complaint, filed against
the Board of zoning Appeals
County Council and the club
seeks a preliminary injunction
to prevent enforcement of a
board ruling purportedly chang
ing coming Of land to permit the
pool in an R-60 zone.
The group contends an amend
ment to the county's swimming
pool ordinance is unconstitu-
tional in that it eliminates q
previous requirement. This made
it necessary for the board to de-
termine that pools would moi
adversely affect the health ano
safety Of other property owners
or the use of their property.

Warden Price reported the reg

ris was missing.
For five hours the institution
was turned upside down. The
hunt concentrated on the prison
repair shop where Harris had
been working.
Finally it was abandoned. Mr..
Price and his aides concluded
Harris had ridden to freedom in
an empty coal car, although the
guards had checked it as it stood
on a railroad siding within the
jail.
Later. about 2 am, several
pieces of rope were found on one

Warden Price said Harris ap-

of wheelbarrows or among bales
OF rags in the repair shop and
then made good his escape after
the search for him died down.
