Prophesies made a year the dedication of the new 1ding have been more than fulfilled, accord- ing to the annual report made pub- lic today. Educational Work Successful. “The center is responsible for bringing about a much more homo- geneous Jewish communal life than hitherto existed in Washington,” the report says. It points out that here Jews have national problems to meet which the center has been a means of solving. Unusual success has marked the educational work of the center, ac- cording to the report. The average weekly attendance of the building is 4,500, of whom more than 700 are children attending classes in Hebrew, dancing, physical culture, eclocution, dramatics and story telling. Fifty organizations use the building for meetings. The educational depart- ment includes George W. -University extension cour: round_table groups. In physical training and music, the report says, the center made rapid strides. Many acl been built up and meetings of Boy Scouts, junior clubs and other or- ganizations are being held regularly.

RADIO WAVES Transmission, By the Associated Press Existence of a layer in the upper air which beads radio waves back to earth has been verified, the Carnegie Institution announced yesterday, in experiments conducted by Dr. G. Breit and Dr. M. A. Tuve, research Investigators of its department of terrestrial magnetism. ‘Were it not for that ‘*ceiling,” it was explained, the radio waves would pass steadily outward into space, ren dering long-distance transmission im- possible, In a series of experiments during 1926, in co-operation with the naval research laboratory, the Bureau of Standards and other agencies, the in- vestigators found that a receiver at a given point, under favorable con- ditions, would record at least two pulses for every pulse sent out by the generating station. One Has Horizontal Path. They proved that one comes by : direct horizontal path, while the othe travels by way of the ‘“ceiling,” reaching the receiver as an “echo” or “reflection.” As the latter path is the longer of the two, the pulse tra- versing it arrives about one-thou- sandth of a second later. By ingenious devices the inve: gators succeeded in recording photo- graphically these pulses and in meas- suring the difference in time of av rival. This enabled them to compute the effective height of the “ceiling,” which they found generally to he about 100 miles above the earth, al- though it rose and fell within a range of from 50 to 130 miles. The experiments showed that vari- ations in the height of this layer are | often very sudden, and that probably it 48 at a greater height in Fall than in Summer, and in the afternoon than in_the morning, and blue lampshades. They also revealed that changes in | stitutio | giene a: “CEILING™ IN UPPER AIR BENDS BACK TO EARTH Otherwise They Would Go ‘Indefinitely Into Space, Preventing Long Distance Experts Find. the layer account for many of the peculiarities of radio transmission. “Fading,” for example, was found to be due in part to a chance in in- tensity of reflection and not _alto- gether to the interference of the ground and reflected waves. Again this study showed that the quality of the reflected waves may be affected by the character of the reflecting surface, a bumpy or corrugated sur- face producing “multiple reflections,” causing interference, confusion and even “fading” when waves happened to neutralize one another . For nearly a quarter of a century scientists have assumed on theoretical grounds that the upper air contains an ionized layer which is a good con- ductor of magnetic energy and which acts to reflect or refract radio waves back to earth, Dr. Breit and Dr. Tuve are said by the Carnegie In- to be the first to have con- clusively proved its existence by ex. perimentation.

S| back TWOLONE CABBIES DEFY TAX| RIVALS Last Survivors of Once Great Fleet Not Concerned About Losing Out. Last line of defense against the ad- vancing army of automobiles, two old- time cabbies still hold their ground in front of Corcoran Art Gallery and crack their whips in defiance at an age of machinery. They are are left of hundreds who onc up and down Pennsylva from the Capitol to the White House and lined the street in front of every public buflding and hotel in town. Their high hats may be just a bit dusty, but the old spirit is still there, Randolph Jones and Arthur Wil linms aren't particularly worried about the decadence of ho wn_vehicu- lar trafic either, still have plenty to do. If vou're lucky you may find one of them waiting in front of the Corcoran when you get there—*“Cab, suh?’—but the chances are that you will wait for half an hour or maybe longer before Randolph or Arthur comes rolling up. In the Springtime there will be half a dozen cabs either at the Corcoran or at the stand at Fifteenth and I streets. There is a rush of business in the Spring. But during the cold weather people seem to prefer closed limousines, and Randolph and Arthur uphold the prestige of the Golden Age alone. There is plenty of work for them, but If there were any more— well, competition might become pretty keen Lends Personal Touch. It's the personal touch that makes a trip about the city in a carriage infinitely preferable to a dizzy spin in a taxi or a tour in a bus, Randolph thinks. Randolph can cover as much ground as a bus and knows as much as a man with a megaphone, and what's more he knows personages as well as places. He imparts his in formation with a confidential air, and you feel instinctively that he knows whereof he speaks. “This carriage,” says Randolph, “‘used to belong to Mr. McAdoo when he was Secretary of the Treasury.” And you know from the way he it that he wouldn't trade it for brand-new limousine or at least would hurt him to do it. Randolph has been driving carriages in Washington for 30 years. He will take you past the Arlington Hotel and tell you that's where he started driv- ing.” He drove President McKinley to the White House from the hotel once, after the President had paid an unusually lon I and his own carriage had gone away without him. When Mr. Cleveland was Presi dent, he took many people to the White House, but never had the honor of conveying the President himself. He drove Vice President Hobart around a good deal, though. At tiNs point Randolph will rattle off a string of names that sounds like A it New Home 1736 B St. S.E. $300 Cash, $62.50 Monthly 6 large rooms and bath: hot- electricity, hard ‘i 03 pefrigerator. la Ty A Lacey & Belt 493 G S.W.

He left the Arlington to drive for Senator White, but his horse kicked him and {broke his leg. That was his hardest {piece of luck. He was In the hospital { for three months and thought he was never coming out. It was six months more before he could drive again. For 10 years Randolph drove for an undertaker. During that time he was active at every wedding and every funeral of any consequence in Wash- ington. He drove somebody—he never knew whom—to the wedding of President Wilson. He used to see a great deal of President Wilson, al- though he never drove him. ‘“‘Would you like to drive out to the Cathedral and see his tomb?” Picture in Art Exhibit. Randolph has been guiding a pub. lic carriage for seven years. He had his own equipage until three years 4go, when times got hard and he had fo sell it. Now he drives for a livery stable on a 50-50 basis. His picture, in the seat of his own carriage, was painted and exhibited in the Corcoran gallery. He is confident he has 10 or 15 more years of cab driving before him. He takes visitors around the city and gets to know them. Years later they come back and look him up. In that way he has built up a clientele. He gets to work shortly. before noon every morning and sometimes he doesn’t get through until midnight. Arthur Williams has been driving almost as long as Randolph and has been in the service of the general pub- lic for a dozen years. He, too, used to own his own horse and carriage be- fore automobiles got so thick. As for the future—T'll be here for a long time yet. Cab, suh? Jump right in.”" U. S. RIFLEMEN LISTED.

NKTINAL CHEST INSTTTE RGED $2,000,000 Initial Endow- ment Proposed by Senate of American Society. Tentative proposals for establish- ment of ‘a national research institute for chemical education, to be located at some one of the larger American universities and with an initial endow- ment of $2,000,000, have been made by the Senate of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, it w. announced yesterday by Prof. Neil Gordon, chairman of the Senate, at the soclety’s national headquarters, 1709 G street. Some definite action on these plans is likely at the Spring meeting of the soclety at Richmond in April. The proposed institute, the sponsors say, would serve as a meeting place for chemical teachers of the world and a place where industrial _chemists o could keep abreast of the latest de- velopments in the science. Local members of the Senate, be- sides Prof. Gordon, include: Hardee Chambliss of Catholic University, Colin Mackall of George Washington University, and Frank Suter of East- ern High School. The tentative budget calls for the employment of a general director and five departmental directors at salaries of $10,000 each. Five fellowships of $1,000 each are proposed and provis- ion is made for extra Summer fac- ulty lectures at an expenditure of $5,000. The estimated cost of the building to be occupied by the insti- tute s $500,000. 3" “GET MAN HIGHER UP,” ADVICE TO DRY CHIEFS Putting Big Liquor Law Violator in Jail Declared Best Enforcement. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 12.— man higher up, was the advice given prohibition administrators of the Mid- dle West today by John Elliott Byrne, former asistant United States district attorney. “More respect for law can be in- duced by the conviction of the b offender than a dozen petty criminals, Byrne told the administrators from the region extending from Pitts- burgh, Pa., to Sioux City, lowa. The conference was called by Maurice Campbell, zone supervisor, to study the methods of E. C. Yellowley, head of this district, and to consider administrative policies. _"Thl\ most important thing that pro hibition officials can do is to prosecuta and convict the big operators rather than the petty bootleggers,” said Mr. Byrne. “These observations are not In criticism of the present administra- tlon of prohibition, because I know that in the past few years the admin- Istration of such laws has been In- creasingly effective.” ——— e Eggs for Hatching and Baby Chicks —are readily sold by advertis- ing in the Poultry and Eggs classification of The Star, In the path of The Star's Rural Carrier Delivery System, reaching far into Maryland and Virginia, are many cus- tomers who do not Winter poultry, but start with fresh stock in the Spring.
