4 ¢ T 'HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1929, : s D. A.R. AIDE FIGHTS DETZER PASSPORT Counsel Asks Revocation on Grounds of Decision Against Rosika Schwimmer. Bvr the Assoctated Prey Revocation of the passport granted Dorothy Detzer, secretary of the Wom- en’s International League for Peace lnd Freedom, is sought by R. Ralph Burton, general counsel of the Daughters of ‘.he, ‘American Revolution, acting on his own | behalf in the absence of officials of | the D. A. R. from Washington. Issuance of the passport after Miss | Detzer had been allowed to “affirm” to “support” the consmutlon instead of | taking the usual oath “swearing” to| “defend” it, he contends in a letter to Secretary Stimson, was an “almost open defiance” of the Supreme Court deci- | cion refusing to grant naturalization tov Rosika Schwimmer. Miss Detzer, desiring to attend a \ meeting of her organization August 3| in Prague, asked and received permis- | sion to take the oath customarily granted to conscientious objectors | acainst warfare several weeks after the | Rosika Schwimmer decision was read. | In that decision, the Supreme Court, by | | a majority vote, held that naturalized allens must “swear” to ‘“defend” the Constitution. Saying the Women's International League is working to reduce legislative appropriations for State militia and op- | poses Citizens’ Military Training Camps | and military training in colleges, Bur- ! ton’s letter declares: “I can see no reason that this womnn should be allowed to have a passpol of the United States, which 1mp\le! if necessary its protection with the use of | the Army and Navy, when she refuses | to take the usual oath of allegiance, which the United States Supreme Court has said is requisite to citizenship.” ATHLETIC PROGRAM T0 FEATURE OUTING| Knights of Columbus Will Make Boat Trip Saturday to Mar- shal Hall. 1 Athletic events for adults. boys and mirls, will feature the annual outing of Keane Council, No. 353, Knights of Columbus. at Marshall Hall, next Sat- urday.

CONVICTS BEG RETIRING PRISON CHAPLAIN TO STAY | Minister Leaves After 16 Years in Ohio Penitentiary, Despite Signed Plea of 2,000. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 15.—Chap- lain T. O. Reed left Ohio State Pen‘;- tentiary with the benediction of 2,000 convicts, given in farewell only after they had failed in tearful entreaties that he remain to administer the serv- ices which made him a confidante of condemned and convictsd men for 16 years. In 1913 the mlnlsur gave up his pas- torate at Linden Baptist chuf:h n'-pthe request of Warden Preston E. Thomas and has served since at the salary of a guard, first class, of $150 a month. At his farewell sermon yesterday. s petition bearing 2,000 convict signatures was presented to him in the chapel, bhegging him to remain, but the chap- lain was determined to leave. During his chaplainship he saw 60 men executed and listened to countless storles of men who called on him for consolation.

CATHODE RAY USE 4 Imitation Sapphwes QuucklyJ Revealed in First Commer- cial Application. | By the Associated Press. SCHENECTADY, N. Y. July 15— The first commercial use for the famous | cathode ray of the Coolidge tube has been found. Imitation sapphires are unmasked by the ray almost instantly and so thor- oughly that they can be spotted after- | ward—even in total darkness. ‘The stones, both imitation and real, are exposed for a few seconds to the gowerlul ray. All the imitations and all ut one kind of genuine stone glow as if molten. But as soon as the ray is shut off the real sapphires lose the artificial glow, while the imitations con- tinue for some time to resemble live coals. This molten appearance has no | relation to heat, for the seemingly burn- ing imitations are cold to the touch. Determines Gems’ Source. In addition to sorting stones, the ray can be used to determine where both natural and artificial gems come from. “Should sapphires from Montana be mixed with stones that were supposed to come from Australia,” sald D. W. St. Clair of the General Electric Co.’s standardizing laboratory, “we could find this out with the cathode rays. In the case of atrificial stones we can deter- mine which factory made them by the different hue of the glow while the rays are on. “We have one particular kind of gen- uine sapphire which does not glow at | all. In this case the lack of glow imme- diately tells us the origin.” Others Are Experimenting. “Though no other application of the rays has been announced, numerous scientists are experimenting mD uni- versities and elsewhere. Coolidge of the General Elecutc llb- oratories, who dzvelcli)ed the tube, is seeking rays from still higher power— two or three million volts. His first tube, announced two years ago, uses 350,000 volts. . Later, by cascading ar- rangement of tubes. he obtained rays of 900,000 volts. He seeks maximum power in order to give experimenters a wide range in studying the remarkable | effects of the ray. An unusual kmd of photography 1!‘ possible with the rays. They record some of the invisible, below-the surface portions of thin tissues laid upon pho- tographic plates. Dr. Coolidge suggests that same structures neither vlsible by ordinary light nor by X-ray, might be shown by using the cathode ray. o Floods Sweep Polish Area.
