POLICE CONTINUE HUNT FOR SCRIVENER MOTIVE Solution No Nearer After Nine Days of Vain Searching for Definite Murder Clue. Investigation of the Scrivener case passed into its ninth eay today with no outcropping of developments to assist the 1nvestigators. The entire case has been reviewed, summarized and reconstructed, it was reported at police headquarters, with a iailure thus far even to uncover a definite motive for murder. Again it was repeated that the investigators are no closer to the solution of the mystery than they were a week ago vesterday when Detective Sergt. Arthur B. Scrivener's body, with a bullet through the heart, was found in an alley opposite his home, 3123 N street. “We are still digging,” Inspector Pratt sgid today, “and, I am sorry to state, we have nothing yet to report in the way of progress.

PICTURE STORES Frames Made to Order CATHODE RAY'S USE PUZZLES SCIENTIST Perils Found in Medical Ex- periments—Couid Not Be Employed in War. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, October 21.—By his invention of a new cathode ray tube, Dr. W. D. Coolidge fs placed somewhat in the position of a man with a Vey for which there is no keyhole The improved tube may be the key to a selentific treasnre house. The search for the keyhole is on. Dr. Coolidge. assistant director in the research laboratorx, of the Gen- eral Electric (0., at Schenectady, told of his invention and his struggles to discover its value, when he was awarded the Howard N. Potts medal here last night. The medal was glven him for his work in improv- the Roentgen X-ray. Compared With Radium. Experiments with the cathode ray, from the new tube, he said, showed that it contained as many beta rays, the most important rays emanating from radium, as would be contained in & ton of that material. There is nawn existence in all the world hout one pound of radivm, and at yresent prices a ton of it would cost £160,000,000,000. The new ray will exposed to it luminous, it will “milk” rubber plants, it acts as a “death " for insects and bacterfa, and has peculiar effects upon the growth of hair. To what use these accomplish ments may be put Is still unknown. That bacteria die speedily under the effects of the ray would indicate that it might be Invaluable for medicinal purposes, providing its strength could make minerals be regulated so as to be harmless to the patient. Dangers in Medical Use. Ixperiments made on rabbits so {ar ¢ at present the cure would be more serfous than the y experiments lent color to the possibility that teatment by the new tube might be a cure for baldness, but later research showed results to which few bald-headed men would care to subject themselves. Dr. Coolidge explained that the ray from the new tube could never be used as a death ray against humans, 1s an implement of war. With a current of 350,000 volts, the highest yet used in the tube, the ray's range is only two feet, and the inventor be- lieved that by using the highest volt- age possible the range could only be extended to a few yards. i Moose tallow was recently used for motor ofl in an airplane operated in Alaska, says the Dearborn Inde- pendent. The aviator obtained the tallow from a trapper, melted it and poured it into his engine with satis- factory results. STEVENS 1113 G Street Offers a Friday Value ! ! !
