REPAIR F_ORCE LIKELY T0 GET ASSIGNMENT ‘ Architect Harris Says Many Port- i ables Ought Not to Be | Moved Again, The first definite step toward the formation of a new policy concerning the maintenance and operation of portable school buildings in the District of Columbia was undertaken by the achool officials today when the request of the Board of Education for a com- plete and searching inspection of the portables now in use was forwarded to ‘Municipal _ Architect Albert Harris. Upon. the findings of Mr. Harris’ office concerning the condition of the flimsy frame structures probably will be based the Board of Education’s future policy concerning the portables. In requesting Mr. Harris’ office to inspect the 75 structures in various sections of the city, Harry O. Hine, secretary of the Board of Education, forwarded to the municipal architect the report of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, in which he ) ased the board whether it was that body’s desire that portables no longer required in one community be trans- ferred to another neighborhood for con- ! tinued service, or whether the new con- | gestions in school population should be housed in part-time classes. ! Inspection by Repair Force. | Mr. Harris, who recenily reiurned | tfrom a trip abroad with Dr. W. M. Mann, director of the National Zoologi- | cal Park here, said today the inspection probably would be carried on by the re- pair shop force. 1t is this department of | the District government, he explained, which has been thoroughly familiar with | the portables through the frequent re- pairs and moving and resetting up | which that office has done in the field of portable schools. Mr. Harris added that the repair shop men probably know already the general condition of most of these frail structures. Speaking for him- self, he said, a good many of the port- ables “are in such condition now that they ought not be moved again.” The importance of the inspection of the portable buildings :was not under= estimated at the Franklin administra- tion this morning for the future of these structures in all probability will depend entirely on the finding of the District inspection. ~When requested for advice on the future policy con- cerning the portables the school board agreed that an inspection should be made and that any decision concern- ing future use of the bulldings would of necessity have to be made only after the actual condition of the buildings was made apparent by the building experts. Sought Permanent Structures. 1In the report which was forwarded to Mr, Harris today Dr. Ballou pointed out that the Board of Education and the school officials “have individually and collectively made efforts to secure sufficient appropriations for permanent school houses to make it possible to abandon the use of portables.” Declar- ing his bellef that neither he nor the Board of Education are ble for the delay in securing necessary ap- propriations the superintendent con- tinues: “Had the five-year school building am act been carried out most, if not_all, of our portable schoolhouses might have ‘been abandoned by the end of the coming fiscal year. The fact that the five-year building program has not been carried out not only makes nec- essary the continued use of portables, but also the continued use of rented quarters and the continuous part-time classes in the elementary schools.” Current Policy in Force. During the current Summer the com- pletion of new buildings will release a few of the portables which have been used in certain sections during the past [SEVENTH PRECINCT POLICEMAN IS ORDAINED AS MINISTER E.

Mr. Met- calf is a policeman attached to the seventh precinct station, while on Sun- days he is preaching at the Capitol Heights Baptist Church. This he has been doing for some time, but it was not until last Sunday night that he received full recognition as a minister of the gospel, when he w.s ordained at Calvary Baptist Church. ‘The ordination sermon was preached by Dr. W. S. Abernethy, pastor of the church. Dr. Homer Councilor, assist- ant pastor, gave the charge, Dr. H. W. 0.

His home is in Stanford, N. Y. He en- listed in the Air Service at the out- break of the World War and saw serv- ice at Langley and Bolling Fields. After the war he joined the Metropolitan police force, remaining for one year. During that time he did patrol duty on M street, in Georgetown, where he cleared up several large robberies, for Maj. Danlel Sullivan, then chief of po- lice. Metcalf remained on the police {force at that time for only one year, which he received commendation frpm | Wi POLICEMAN HARLEY E.

He later came ‘Washington University Seminary, and returning to Crozier, remained two years, receiving his degree. Reinstated to Force. He returned to Washington last Sum- mer. and in August was reinstated to the police force, again being attached to the seventh precinct. He received permission to do only night duty, in at George Washington - University and also to preach at the Capitol Heights Church. Rev. Mr. Metcalf intends to remain at the Capitol Heights Church until he can receive a place in some church in n. He sald today he would retain his position on_the police force until such time as he-could devote all his time to religious work. CITIZEN-SOLDIERS i - TAKE UP TRAINING 'D. C. Has 18 Youths at Fort Myer for Voluntary Summer Drill. ‘Three hundred young men of the District, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania and New York today were being “processed,” as the soldiers term it, into becoming soldiers for the Citizens’ Military Training Camp at Fort Myer. “Processing” consisted of a thorough physical examination for ‘every candi- date, fitting uniforms, ll.‘guatming each with horses they are to ride and police for the next month, By nightfall the full contingent, of which 18 are District youths, will have taken up quarters at the camp. Col. Guy V. Henry, commander of the 3d Cavalry, under which organization the citizen soldiers will train for the next month, extended a greeting to the men on their arrival today. He said: “You young men represent the best in America. Your coming indicates a will- ingness to work, and your acceptance by the authorities stamps you as physi- cally fit, above average in general in- telligence and of good moral character. The object of this camp is to develop these attributes in you; to produce a closer national and social unity; to teach you the privileges, dutles and re- sponsibilities of American citizenship; to give you the elements of military training, and to demonstrate to the country that camp instruction of the kind contemplated will develop the youth of America and produce greater national strength, civil and military. m”r?um' yourl &t«ly. remeLn‘\ber fl:‘: igh purposes of the camp. Live up them. Make new friends, but do not neglect to “write frequently to family and friends at home, Urge them to come and see you; they are always welcome.” Col. Henry will be assisted during the C. M. T. C. training period by a staff consisting of Maj. James T. Mc- Lane, executive officer; Capt. Mark A. Devine, jr., camp adjutant; Lieut. C. H. several years. The abandonment of these at their present location, however, does not mean their complete with- drawal from the school system if the current policy -of the school officials remains in force. A waiting list of some length petitioning the school board for the establishment of portables now is in the hands of the school officials and if today’s requested inspection re- veals the releases rtables to be in movable condition those buildings will be transferred to new sites. This has ‘been the practice for several years, and , it is this policy, in view of the in- creasingly apparent weakening of the 75 portables, none of which are under 11 years old, upon which Dr. Ballou seeks the advice of the school board. Increasing alarm over the existing dangers in the use of portables has been felt by school officials, who wit- nessed in each windstorm mounting danger to the children. At least four times within the last two school years portable schools have been damaged either to the extent of having roof sec- tions ripped off or wall boards carried away, and in each instance it was the merest luck which prevented pupils and teachers from being injured, since the storms struck either during the night or at lunch time.

Owners of property in the four squares to be acquired for the building of the municipal center will be asked soon to submit offers to the District government. All offers of property at reasondble prices will be accepted im- mediately. This decision was reached at the first meeting of the committee on the purchase of the site for the munici] center, held yesterday after- noon. ‘The squares in question are bounded by Pennsylvania avenue, Third and Sixth streets and Judiciary Square. The committee on purchase is com- posed of Assistant Engineer Commis- sioner Layson E. Atkins, chairman; Tax Assessor William P. Richards and Corporation Counsel Willlam W. Bride. ‘The District has available $3,000,000 appropriated from its cash surplus by the special session of Congress for the purchase. No priority will be observed in the squares to be purchased by ne- gotiation, and offers from property owners in any square will be recefved. ‘The work of acquiring property is ex- pected to last about a year before any construction work can begin. The first building exgecwd to be put up will be in the northwest square and a court building with space for the municipal, police and juvenile courts, and also for the offices of the recorder of deeds and registrar of wills. ‘Where negotiation fails to secure properties at what the Commissioners consider a reasonable price, condemna- tion proceedings will be instituted.

MARKING BY BOLT FORMS PECULIAR PHENGMENON Bureau of Standards Makes Study of Cause and Effect of Storm Accompaniment. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. to Washington and studied at George, Lightning flashes are dirt cheap— 400 of them for a penny at current prices of electric current. ¥ A single flash generates approxi- mately 1,000,000 kilowatts, but it lasts only three hundred-thousandths of a second. So it represents only eight- thousandths of a kilowatt hour, the basis on which bills for electric cur- rent are figured. Such is the conclusion from a study of lightning phenomena at the Bu- reau of Standards, undertaken as a basis for better protective devices. The study delves into some of the obscure phases of the behavior of lightning, such as the queer antics it plays when it strikes an object and the images it sometimes leaves on human bodies, which have ‘given rise to many pop- ular superstitions. There is nothing mystical about lightning, the report points out, al- though it occurs in so many forms, and some of the factors are so obscure | that entirely clear explanation is impossible. Even the cause is not cer- tainly known, but lightning generall is believed to result from upward cu rents of warm ‘air meeting descend- ing water drops and breaking them up into smaller drops, thus producing electric charges which, after they have accumulated for a time, are suf- ficlent to account for the electrical effects in most violent storms. Chains Are Visible. A single flash is over so quickly that the eye could not follow it. What actu- ally is seen are chains of from three to 40 flashes with brief intervals between them which the eye cannot grasp. This accounts for the “flickering” sensation which almost invariably follows a flas! Thunder, the report explains, prol ably is due to the heating and cons quent rapid expansion of the atmos. phere along the path of a lightning flash. Thus a path through the air about a foot in diameter and a mile long, traversed by 1,000,000,000 watt seconds of electricity would be heated to about 650 centigrade, and the ex- pansion against the colder air outside the path naturally would be accompa- nied by an ear-splitting crash. Why the lightning bolt is luminous is not clear, since the actual heating of the atmosphere of the path itself is sufficlent to cause only & very faint luminosity. The light probably is due to the jonization of the air. “When persons are subjected to di- rect lightning strokes,” says the report, “the result is nearly always fatal, al- though instances have been recorded of extraordinary escapes from what seemed to be direct strokes. The injuries in- flicted consist of electric shocks of greater or less severity which may be combined with burns, and in some cases tearing of the flesh, apparently by an explosive action of the discharge. Burns {Irequently assume fantastic forms, and cases are reported where images of various kinds were im- g:l;lpfi:’dl o‘: 'l?ee !mn 2 ‘That :uch bl‘:rns' e image of anythin; doubtless is a matter of chance. e Influence on Tmages. “Their origin is probably in surface discharges over the skin or in the layer of clothing damp with perspiration next to it. This layer, especially in thunder- storm weather, affords considerable in- ducement to a discharge to follow it, and the resulting heat, or burning by ultra-violet rays, might cause almost any kind of image to be imprinted. First aid treatment for injuries by light- ning is the same as that for other elec- tric shocks and burns. Artificial respi- ration, if administered in time, doubtless would prevent many deaths which result from the fact that nine-tenths of such acidents occur in isolated places. “When insulating or semi-insulating material receives a discharge the dam- age is usually severe and of an explosive chatacter. Trees are frequently blown to splinters. Brick and stone work sometimes are demolished locally and pieces thrown 100 feet or more, Damage seems to depend somewhat on whether the material is externally wet. Prior to rainfall the damage is most extensive and afterward it becomes less. Trees struck when thoroughly wet in many cuses show only & small piece of bark SRR e al trunk traceable b‘ymallht super- ficial damage, while trees struck when dry externally are almost invariably ;or.;?;gled or splintered from top to 3 ® “The cause of damage of this sort NEW PLANES ARRIE AT BOLLING FIELD Details of Experimental Ob-| servation Ships Are Guarded Military Secrets. Two new experimental Army observa- tion planes, equipped with radial air- cooled engines, are at Bolling Pield to- day en route to Kelly Fleld, San An- tonio, Tex., where they will be subjected to fiylng tests. ‘The planes are smaller than the con- ventional type of Army observation ship, and are among the first of this class ever to be equipped with air-cooled en- gines, Details of the planes are care- fully guarded military secrets, under the general policies adopted last year by the Army and Navy Departments governing new types of airplanes.

In these planes the motors will be built into the wings, and the fuselage will be so faired into the wing struc- ture as to become almost an integral part of the wing. ‘The landing wheels will be retractable, folding up into the ‘wings so'as to reduce air interference. An all-metal type of observation plane has been undergoing tests for some time. 1t is a two-seater Thomas-Morse biplane with a radial air-cooled engine.
