information it was contained in a column written by

Times Columnist Anton Scherrer. And, ironically enough, Mr... Scherrer was sitting within paper-clip

. hrowing “distance when the librarian called ys with -

e answer, quoted verbatum from a Schefrer gem, nyway, we got most of the information from Sturm residents and had a good morning of visiting to

‘boot. . . . Col. Herman Sturm, one of the officers of

the Civil War arsenal that was thé” forerunner of Technical high school, built his home on an other~ wise uninhabited side street. The people thereabouts got to calling it Sturm st. and later, it somehow was renamed Sturm ave. , . . Another point of interest about, Sturm ave. is that. it was at one time the widest street in town, counting the parkway in the center. :

Right Way to Hang Clothes

WE BEGAN our visiting at the home of Mrs. Earl Matheny, * 1511 Sturm, .a 10-year resident. Mrs, Matheny has been an east sider all of her life. Her husband is also a long-time East sider. He's operated a shoe repair shop on Oriental for some 23 years. . .. We found a backyard clothes hanging and chatter session going on in the rears of 1519 and 1521, the homes of Mrs. Everett Maxwell and Mrs. Ruth McClarren. Mrs. McClarren hangl clothes like a house afire and gefs them up all straight. and even, too. 8he and Mrs. Maxwell were having a laugh at the expense of Mrs. McClarren's daughter, Margie. A couple of weeks ago Mrs. McClarren made her daughter re-hang the clothes three times, until they were fluttering in the breeze at just the right angle. “I may be fussy,” Mrs. McClarren admits, Ybut there's a right way to hang clothes and that's the way I like it done.” . .. We thought she had an awfully big washing, until we learned that part of it was that of Mrs. Dennis Royer, who lives at 1523, the other half

"of the McClarren double. -Mrs, Royer came to Sturm

from Owen county about eight years ago. An early bird, she had her washing out on the line and was anning lunch when we called.

ong-Time Residents IN THREE HOUSES in a row.on the other side of the avenue we found three veteran residents. Reading from west to east they were Mrs. Joseph Greer.en, 1530, a 29-year resident; Mrs. Leona Kirkbride, 1602, a 20-year veteran, and Mrs. Edith Pritche ard, of 1606, with a residence record of 30 years. . Mrs. Greenen told us about an exciting surprise which she had the other night. Attending a Joan of Arc

Mind vs. Meat

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Fool your husband, lady. Use psychology on him. Feed him squash and the dope’ll think he's eating sirloin. That's official. Straight from the United States department of agriculture’s specialist in advice to the steak-lorn. Boy. Boy. Fry me a sack of salted peanuts, sprifkie ‘em with ketchup, and I'll use ‘em for hamburger. The government's psychiatric chef is Chester A. Halnan, director of the field service branch of the production and - marketing administration of the U. S. D. of A.,, New York City. He wrote down how to spoof the involuntary vegetarians into believing they're chomping porterhouse,, Then he sent this solution of the meat crisis on October 4 to New York's food editors, nutrition consultants and radio commentators. Why the radio spielers ignored Chester I don't know. Out looking for meat, maybe. I hate to dé" their work for them, but this is headline news. The Democrits may quit worrying about no meat; so may the Republicans. Chester said meat eating was only a bit anyway.

“MOST PEOPLE think they cannot get along without it,” he wrote. “Yet some healthy people never eat meat. The extratives present in meat as we it eat gives meat its savory flavor.” Webster's unabridged dictionary doesn't understand what is an extrative. Neither do I. So we'll have to skip that and proceed to the wife who has boiled up some turnips, potatoes, and spinach for her

Science

DUPLICATION OF cosmic ray energies.in improved cyclotrons and betatrons may lead to the discovery of methods of releasing atomic energy more

* efficient and more easily controlled than the chain

reaction that goes on in uranium fission, I pointed out yesterday that scientists in this country and in Russia as well are particularly interested in’ cosmic rays today because of the light they may shed on the problem of atomic energy. When a cosmic ray makes a direct hit on an atom .of the atmosphere it shaaters it into a whole shower of particles, smashing it far more thoroughly than does fission. The process of fission merely breaks the atom in two. # As a result, there is now a world-wide movement to build bigger and more powerful cyclotrons and betatrons. The cyclotron provides powérful streams of positively charged subatomic particles. The betatron provides streams of negative electrons. By permitting the. electron stream from the betatron’ to trike a target of platinum or some other hard metal, is possible to generate X-rays of higher energy content than any known in the past.

Produce Uranium Fission SUCH EX-RAYS are being employed at the Gen-

eral Electric research laboratory in Schenectady to study the prdblem of atomic power. Working with

- the laboratory’s '100,000,000-volt betatron, Dr, George

C. Baldwin and Dr. Ernest E. Charlton have found that they can produce uranium fission with 20,000,000volt X-rays. At higher voltages, however, they found that processes. other than fission take place. These more complicated disintegrations of atoms are now being studied at the G. E. laboratory.

My Day

NEW YORK, Monday.—Some time this week, T am going to speak at a meeting concerned with recreation in the city of New York. Since most of us—in

every city and even in" rural areas throughout the country—cannot escape deep concern for the rise in juvenile delinquency everywhere, I think it is well to consider some of the things contributing to this rise and some of the efforts which can be made to meet it. + This condition occurs after all wars. The discipline of children has been relaxed, for their parents have been in the armed forces or have been working long hours in defense industries. Mothers as well as fathers have been out of the home to a great extent. In certain areas, however, there is always trouble with the children. This arises from the bad conditions under which they live. Overcrowding, with all of its harmful results, exists in certain parts of big cities at all times. It is vastly increased immediately after a war.

Difficulty With Youngsters IN' NEW YORK CITY, certain districts, such as

' the old downtown slum areas, have always had diffi-

culty with the youngsters.” The Henry st. settlement s introduced many a young man. to. the problems

jt his ‘city. Many of those men are now serving il publié office or are running for election. ~. It. is vitally necessary to the meeting of this problem that we elect to office men who understand thet. everything they do touches the lives of individuals, particularly the lives of children, and through thém will affect the future of the nation. . We can never separate problenis, like Wgvenile de-

linquency from gavernment and from the choice of

-care in state institutions, should be alike for all

Mrs. Kirkbride was an the porch soaking up.a lot of sun. Her grandson, Dean, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kirkbride, one of the block's many young fry, was keeping her company and picking up a little sun himself. . . . Mrs. Pritchard has lived 15 years at her present home, 14 in the house next door, and a few months on the other side of the street. In that time she’s reared five children. All of them attended school 14 and Tech; all were baptized By the late Rev. H. T. Graham of Westminster Presbyterian church and all were ushered in by the same nurse, the late Mrs. Mary “Aunt Molly” Livingston.” ‘In addition to her family, Mrs. Pritchard has brought up almost every stray dog and cat that was ever dumped near her home. . . . Incidentally, one of the funniest stories we heard during our visit was about a pet, "a “bootlegger” and a raid. Years ago, during prohibition, police raided a “bootlegger” near Sturm. One of the residents still recalls seeing her son's dog lurching drunkenly across Sturm, after he'd found the discarded mash. The neighborhood birds found the mash pile, too, she recalls. “You should have seen| them—they'd fly a few feet, then fall down and] stagger around. I guess almost everything has happened on Sturm.”

natural gas from the vast reserves

question: How much gas is there and how long will it last? In seeking the answer, the natural gas investigation staged by the federal power gcommission groped 2500 years into the future—and found gas, Not gas, perhaps, as we know it today. But synthetic natural gas. Estimates of the life of natural gas reserves now known run trom 25 to 125 years, depending on use. Beyond this, the testimony of engineers and scientists who appeared before the commission predicted gas reserves in the nation’s coal deposits for two and one-half millenia. » - » THE FEDERAL POWER commission’s decision to grant certificates for the expansion of the gas industry rests in part upon its ésti. mate of gas reserves. The Citizens ‘Gas & Coke Utility of Indianapolis, a municipally owned plant producing artificial gas from coal, has announced its intention of taking midcontinent gas when this becomes available.

These processes in the uranium atom are not yet fully understood, the two scientists report, but some idea of their nature has been gained from similar experiments with the atoms of lighter elements.

Atomic Nucleus Still a Riddle FOR EXAMPLE, in experiments with nitrogen, Dr. Baldwin found that a nitrogen atom disintegrated into an atom of hydrogen, an atom of helium, an atom of lithium and several ‘neutrons. Such smashups are in line with what happens in so-called cosmic ray “bursts,” that is, when a cosmic ray scores a direct hit on an atom of the atmosphere. Dr. Baldwin emphasizes that further significant] advances in the release of atomic energy will depend on discoveries in fields not yet explored. “Physicists today,” he says, “are hardly nearer an understanding of the atomic nucleus and of the‘nature - of the parficles which compose it than they “were several years ago, even though the successful development of the atomic bomb may lead one to think that the fundamental questions of nuclear science are all answered. “The radiation or absorption of energy by the electrons in 8 radio antenna, the flow of electrons in a vacuum tube and the motion of electréhs in an atom all can be described with high precision by well established physicial theories based upon simple laws of the electromagnetic fields of ‘elementary charges of electricity. “On the other hand, many nuclear phenomena are| an almost unsolved riddle. The neutrons and protons which compose a nucleus are held together by extremely strong forces of very short range. We do not know the laws by which these forces act.”

Politics . GOP, Democrats Both Predict

Greater Vote

By SANDOR 8, KLEIN WASHINGTON, Oct, 15.—Repube lican and Democratic strategists took a look at swelling: voter regise tration figures today. 2 They promptly disagreed on which party would bénefit most by a heavy turnout in the November elections. A The registration returns are still incomplete, However, each side saw indicas tions of a greater vote on Nov. § than in the last off-year election of 1042. Sam. O'Neal, chief publicist for

, {the Democratic national committes,

looked at the figures this way: » ” » “ANY HEAVY registration in the past has always been held beneficial to the Democratic party. We dong see anything different this time.” Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio, chairman of the Republican cone gressional campaign committee, gave this analysis: “We've made some spot checks and you can bet the increase is a sure sign of a protest vote against the Democratic = administration, Most of the increase appears to be in the suburban areas of big cities and the folks who live there aren't the ones being brought out by tha C. I. O. Political Action committea, » ” ” MR. O'NEAL said Louis Beane, a statistical expert who does his pencil work for the Democrats, estimates that about 90 per cent of the 48 million who voted in the Presidens tial election of 1944 would cast bale lots this year. “And if that proves to be right? Mr; O'Neal observed, “we'll win.” Mr. Brown, whose office is just a few blocks up the street from Democratic headquarters, said he has checked with election officials in various key states and found that much of the heavier registration is due to “the middle class, small businessmen and housewives.” “And these groups have suffered from the administration's controls,” Mr. Brown added. “It's a protesg vote.”

We, the Women Grace, Favor

Idea Could Be Applied in U. S.

By 'RUTH MILLETT Reports from London say King George will offer the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. a “grace and favor” residence during their stay in England. We might borrow that neat phrase from the British to sum up the situation of fhe 1946 tenant. It's a favor, sure enough, when a landlord decides to take anybody's rent money today.

~ » . THE LANDLORD makes thas clear. It's such a favor that the landlord can make just about any demand he wishes. No children, you understand. No

| drinking. No noisy parties. “And

how's about references from your last landlord? Then, too, you must, of course, be “permanent” residents — ‘“per=manent,” that is, until the landlord decides to sell. : The renter doesn't even object openly to all this supervision of his private life. He knows a favor when he sees one. » = ¥ HE NO LONGER expects even to be tipped off about a vacancy withe out the offer of a reward. So, advertised rewards for infor= mation leading to the rental of a small house often run into the hundreds of dollars, even in smalle er towns. That's the favor side of our mode ern “grace and favor” system of tenancy, Grace comes from OPA. By the grace of OPA, the 1946 renter has a few months in which to look around for another place to live before He can be evicted from a home which has been sold out from under him.

” » » WITHOUT OPA, as our ceilinge less “holiday” a few months back forcibly demonstrated, the lande lord's gracious fdvor could be revoked—and his terrified tenants thrown into the street—within a few hours. If all you're going to get,in Enge land, duke, is a “grace and favor" residence,. maybe you'd better not go back home.
