AUTOS' GRAVEYARD FULL OF ROMANCE Deserted or Stolen Relics at No. 7 Police Station Hold Many Secrets. Romance: visions of lovers parked in the moonlight; of hectic dashes of speeding automobiles; of blazing auto- matics; of stealthy forms fumbling for 2 key; of gay parties careening to a tragic doom—— Homance such as this can be found elsewhere than in story books. One may find it, for instance, in Georgetown, mutely inscribed on the spectral occupants of the official police graveyard” for forgotten cars, lo: cated in a small hollow to the west of No. 7 station house on Volta place. And what specters they are! ‘Automobiles that once reflected the light with their highly polished bodies and glistening trimmings; automobiles that faithtully performed the.labori- ous task given them even though asth- matic with carbon and apoplectic with Sticking valves; automobiles that per- haps conveyed thé rich, the near rich and the would-be’s; automobiles that enjoyed the distinction of being half pald for; some that were bought out- right; oth perhaps carrled from the show-rooms on a promise. some of them are in running condition; others would have to be moved on a stretch- er. In all there are about 50. ‘And after they have gone there they stay awhile, hoping a loyal master il search them out or a disloyal mas- to will reform and do right by them. Atter about a year of this humiliation, they are driven, dragged and pushed, reeking and creaking with mortifica tion, to the auction block or the junk ile. P Fhis graveyard over.which the blue coats of No. 7 preside, represent the assembling point for the city. No car is sentenced to this living death until the police have satisfied themselves the owner cannot be found. How many of the tvaifs picked off the streets are “stolen” and how many “gbandoned” by their rightful parents, is not. clearly set forth. At any rate they are there, and if it were not for the fact that the experts in this branch of criminology do their work well, there might be 2,000 there now. f i Near No THE the year, awaiting another fate on the auetion block.

DAVISON DISCUSSES FUTURE OF AIRPLANE Limitations Gradually Being Re- moved, He Says—Weather Prevents Flight Planned. By the Associated Press. LONG BEACH, N. Y., July 31— Unfavorable flying weather today pre- vented Assistant Secretary Davison of the War Department, from flying here from Washington to deliver his first public address since he took over di rection of the Army’s aviation ac- tivities. Instead, he telegraphed his speech, which was read to the Nassau County convention of the American Leglon. He sald that while alrcraft develop- ment of the last 20 years pointed to an almost limitless future in aerial navigation, Government programs still must be basad on appreciation of the natural limitations ‘that exist. “It should be Said in.all fairness, however,” he said, “that the limita- tions which confine the activities of a heavler-than-air machine are gradual- 1y being lessened as science advances. With steady improvement in the re- lability of the gasoline motor; with added refinement and improvement in airplane design; with increasingly satisfying results in directional radio, and in other flelds of research, who can with confidence predict limitations of the future? “It is well to Jook ahead to visual- ize the possibilities of the years to come. At the same time, we must keep our feet on the ground and rec- ognize frankly the difficulties and obstacles which actually face us.” TORTURE CASE LAID TO MAN’S JEALOUSY St. Paul Hubsand Says His Victim Had Been Too Attentive to Wife.

By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, July 31.—If the two- thirds rule at the next Democratic national convention is suspended Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York will be nominated by acclamation, in the opinion of Senator T. H. Caraway of Arkansas, who sailed today on the Celtic. He will. attend the annual meeting of the Interparliamentary Union at Geneva. Senator Caraway said that while he admires Gov. Smith he does not be- lieve he could be elected on account of his avowed wet policies and his re- ligion. He said he did not share the “narrowed ideas” of those who oppose the governor on religious grounds. He predicted that a Demecrat would be elected President, and -said the Democrats would ‘“‘select some man, not even now known to politics, who will be only a name, and the Repub- licans will do the same.” “The vote will go against the Re- publicans,” he said, “as the Natjon as a whole is disgusted with the manner jn which the Republicans have con- ducted office.” BNl Cleaners Paid $60 to $100 & Week COLLEGE PARK July 31 (Spectal).—Maj.

E. H. Kincald of the naval auxilfary Kittery has re- ported that he was able to plot the course of the recent South At- lantic storm as- it passed his ship by taking radio compass bear- ings on the static itself. Usually the static area accom- panying such a ‘storm interferes with the receipt of weather re- ports and makes the radio com- pass worthless. But Kincaid ap- parently has worked out a mathe- matical rule by which the cross, currents can be translated into bearings on the storm center, en- abling navigators to chart and avold danger points. The Navy is much interested and wants to know more about it. During the recent storm the Kittery was in the vicinity of the Virgin Islands.

DUMB TAUGHT TO TALK BY MEANS OF GAS FLAME Mutes Have Perfect Vocal Organs, But Deafness Makes Sound of Voice Unknown to Them. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 31.—Deat and dumb children in London are heing taught to speak perfectly by - means of ordinary gas flame. This simple method, used by a suburban teaclier with a large class of boys and girls, consists in show- ing each pupil how he or she -can make a gas flame jump té varying heights and at a varying.rate, by the sounds tha pupil does not under- stand. It requires about three months for a pupil to learn the sounds oL the alphabet by this metlod.

An additional 20 hours added to the Winter curriculum of the Washington College of Law will necessitate the opening of the Fall term somewhat earlier than usual. September 13 has been set as the date on which classes will convene for the long session. Mrs. Grace Riley, the new dean, has annouriced that an interest- ing course of study, including several new features, is being outlined for the ‘Winter students, who wlil be housed for the first time in the new building at 2000 G street northwest. All Summer school classes, with one exception, ended this past week. The special 50-hour course in contracts closes this week, with the final exami- nation Friday, according to Prof. Ed- win A. Mooers, who conducts the course. During the six weeks intervening between the closing of Summer school and the opening of the college for the Winter term the office will rematn open in order that students may reg- ister. Both Mrs. Riley and her secre- tary, Mrs. Olive Freer, will be on hand to reeeive registrations and an- swer questions concerning the courses offered. Charles Franklin Jackson, a gradu- ate of the Washington Collegge of Law in the class of 1926, and Herbert L. Wynne, member of the class of 1927, successfully passed the Virginia bar examination held in June. Mr. ‘Wynne will complete his work at the college this year. Mr. Jackson, who is connected with the Department of Labor, expects to make use of his legal training in his work. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, honor- ary dean of the college, is spending the Summer at the Homestead, Fanwood, N. J., and will return to Washington the firste week in Sep- tember. PAINTS CHANGE COLORS WHEN THEY GROW HOTTER Geneml Electric Engineer An- nounces Methods of Guarding Bearings From Burning Out. Special Dispatch to The Star. SCHENECTADY,.N. Y., July 31.— Chameleon-like paints that change col- or when heated, only to return to their original color when cooled again, are the interesting products described by W. S. Andrews of the General Electric Co.'s engineering laboratory here. Such paints are made either of the double fodide of copper agd mercury or the double fodide of silver and mer- cury, says Mr, Andrews. The former is bright red at ordinary temperatures, but when heated to about 160 degrees Fahrenheit changes to a dark choco- late brown, which becomes black at bolling temperatures. As soon as it is cooled it ymes red again. The sil- ver and mercury salt is ordinarily yel- low and becomes a dark orange or brick red at 160 degrees. Among the uses suggested for these paints by Mr. Andrews are for the casings of bearings and other parts of machinery which are apt to become overheated, with disastrous effects, and for indicating the level of the liquid in a hot-water tank. .In the latter case a vertical stripe is painted on the outside of the tank, and the height of the part where the color has ¢ | changed indicates the water level. —— BANK FAILS TO OPEN.

The gentleman zalophus at the z0o has been obliged to exist for the last six months under conditions which are considered hardly respectable in the traditions of his family—with only one wife. As @ lion without his harem soon becomes -a disconsolate creature. in his native haunts off ‘the Pacific beaches he usually has from five to eight wives and only the social cast- offs of the tribe get along with less than four. ; The polygamy of the animals is rec- ognized. in all Zoos. In order to keep them successtuilly in captivity it is necessary to copy trom nature and give one of them enough wives sg that he will feel respectable and not pine away trom dejection. At the Washington zoo the big male never has been left intentionally with- out two wives. Last Spring, however, the favorite of his barem died of pnelimonia, leaving him with one.

The one wife left him was of little comfort to him. She was a shy crea- ture, feeling keenly herself the dis- grace of monogamy and forever taunting him with it. Shrewishly she charged him with be- ing an immoral, worthless cuss, thus to have deserted the traditions of his fathers. She hid under the rocks and sulked. The pool was a sulking household. But now the sea lion is frolicking again. He has been restored to re- spectability by the purchase of an- other wife from the zoological gar- dens of San Diego, .Cal., and is frol- icking gaily once more. The addi- tion to his harem, introduced into the pool last week, 1s still shy and home- sick but her mere presence has re- stored his confidence. He looks upon her proudly as she sleeps on the rocks. He turns somersaults again in the water and triés to attract the at- tention of spectators. Zoo officlals say it will be several weeks before the new arrival will join fully in the activities of the family. Just now she will not enter the water. The female sea lion is not the only creature getting accustomed to life at the zoo this week. The most notable of the others |s a margay, a Yucatan wild cat, 14 months old. The cat, which is rare in collections, had been kept as a pet in a Wash- ington family until its claws became too long for comfort, when it was presented to the zoo. It is still very tame and playful. Other new arrivals are three baby | beavers, born to. a beaver couple which came to the park only last ear. These are handsome, frolic- some little balls of fur, but, unfor- tunately, cannot be seen by most vis- itors. The parents bring them from the lodge, which opens under water, only at dusk, so that only zoo at- tendants can. watch their play. When they were first born they were brought out only at night. Their appearance during the last hours of daylight indicates that they are past their cradle day UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE FORECAST BY SARNOFF Radio Corporation Officer Tells World University Women ‘Wireless Is Cause.

Y., July 31.— The Southwest is prosperous and po- litically that section of the country | is strongly behind the national ad- ministration, President Cooldge was informed today by Senator Cameron, Republican, Arizona, who arrived at White Pine Camp ‘for a two-day visit. The visit of Senator Cameron was the first at White Pine Camp by any of the Republican Senators who are standing for re-election this year. Al though it was not made the occasion for any statement by the President, who has refrained from participation in the election campaign. Mr. Cool- idge was photographed with the Sen- ator and Frank R. Stearns, who is also a guest at the Summer White House. Predicts G. 0. P. Success. Mr. Cameron is not opposed for nomination and he expressed confi- dence today that he would .win in November against Representative Hayden, his Democratic opponent. He also predicted that the Repub- licans would retain control of the next: Senate and would win in all the 'doubtful States, which he men- tioned as Nevada, California, Ken tucky, Oklahoma, Missouri and Mary- land. During Senator Cameron’s visit, Mr. Coolidge, acting on the recommenda’ tion of the Senator, gave a recess ap- pointment to H. A. Morgan of Will- cox, Ariz, as registrar of the Land Office at Phoenix. The place was vacant, but a sharp fight had been made by political groups in the State for the appointment. Conditions in the Southwest are good, Mr. Cameron said, there being greater prosperity than in many years. The cattle and sheep indus- tries are in excellent shape, he added, while the lumber business is good. Better rains than in several vears have helped, he continued, but the reduction of taxes alded to a large extent. Says President Is Strong. The people are contented, the Sen- ator asserted, adding that in the Southwest President Coolidge is stronger than Harding was in 1920.
