OPEN SUNDAY DLUME| 1772 Columbia Rd. Col. 7544 HOME TELEVISION } SENGINEER'S HOPE | Experiments Made With New : Variety of Tube to De- velop Apparatus. NEW YORK (#).—Television as easy | i to receive in the home as sound radio— ! | that is the hope of Dr. Viadimir Zwory- ! ! kin, research engineer, | Casting aside such apparatus as neon | lamps, motors and scanning disks, com- | { mon to most receiving systems, this in- | | vestigator has taken a cone-shaped tube | | and attempted to make it do electrically what has been accomplished mecharii- cally. It is a cathode-ray tube, similar to | that used to visualize electric current and for other oscilligraph work, but with its internal construction changed S0 that, when connected to a receiver, it reproduces television images four by five inches in size upon a fuorescent screen in the flat end of the glass en- | closure. First announcement of the device, | termed a’ kinescope, carried with it the | { belief that preliminary experiments in- | dicated it might bring the same solu- tion to television that the vacuum tube gave to sound radio when it replaced | the crystal detector and made possible | the broadcast recever of today. | Not Yet Practical. ‘The tube has not yet been reduced to a practical basis. Beyond the fact that its possibilities are being investi- gated, it hasn't reached the stage where it can be considered for ordinary use. Dr. Zworykin, who did his preliminary work in the Westinghouse laboratory at Pittsburgh, now is continuing his re- search efforts at the R. C. A. plant at Camden, N. J. The picture reproduced by the kine- scope is green and not pink like that ! with the neon tubes. The image' is { built up by a pencil of electrons which bombard the screen in the end of the tube. The beam moves back and forth in step with the scanning light ray in the transmitter by electrical means. Iks speed is so rapid that the eye gets the impression of a continuous meving picture. By the use of the fluorescent screen | the eye's vision is aided, making i- ble a reduction in the number of pic- | tures transmitted per second without | noticeable flicker. A greater number of | scanning lines also may be used, giving greater detail to the picture without in- creasing the width of the radio channel used. Divided Into Two Parts. In recepticn, the output of a receiver is amplified and divided by a filter into two parts, the synchronizing fre- quency or impulses and the picture and framing signals. Each set of impulses is applied to separate parts of the tube, re- su)ilmg in automatic operation, without noise. The tube has a filament, which gen- erates the electronic beam. The beam passes through a small hole and then j-again through a hole in the first anode or plate. This anode accelerates the electrons to a velocity of 300 to 400 volts. A second anode, which is a me- | tallic coating on the inside of the bulb, speeds up the acceleration to 3,000 or 4,000 volts, or at a velocity of about one-tenth of light. The second anode also focuses the beam to a sharp point on the screen The screen is conduc- tive to remove electrical charges coming | from the beam. { By means of deflecting pla{gs and coils | mounted outside the tube, Whe beam, | which leaves a light, flourescent line, is | made to move back and forth. The brightness of the line, upon which are impressed the lights and shadows of the transmitted picture, can be controlled to any desired extent. GEN. DION WILLIAMS T0 GO TO QUANTICO THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., QUAKES AND LOST CONTINENTS ARE LAID TO EARTH'S TIPPING Scientist Declares World’s Ma'x"c'}i:Through Heavens Subjects It to Varying Strains, Causing Crust} to Bulge. BY HOWARD BLAKESLE. DOUGLAS, Ga.,, May 24 (#).—Unex- pected earthquakes and legends of lost continents were ascribed Wednesday night to the earth’s well known tipping- over motion. The supporting records in rifts all over the world, in opinions of scientists and in ancient writings, were presented in an address at South Georgia State College by Chase S. Osborn, scientific writer, traveler and former Governor of Michigan, He cited the astronomical fact that about 2500 B.C, the pole star was .Thuban and that a few thousand years hence it will be the star Vega, due to the wobble of the poles. “The march through the heavens is swift at times and slow enough and juite dignified at others,” he said. “The sun pulls one way, the moon another and the planets another. The earth could have one velocity at one time and a greater or less at another, which would make it fall when it is revolving slower and regain its poise when going faster. This would make for a tipping that would carry the poles far toward ;h! equator and back, as has been lone.” Flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator, he said, the tipping earth’s crust” must heave and readjust as it slips into new angles. The Great, Lakes area, he said, is now tipping southward, its northern end rising and the southern dipping at about four-tenths of a foot a' century, suf- ficient, if continued, to cause lake Michigan to discharge into the Missis- sippi Valley and Niagara Falls to run dry in a few hundred years. ‘The drift of continents, which Alfred Wegener and 20 other scientists include in their studies in expedition now in Greenland, Mr. Osborn ascribed to the tipping motion. Under Wegener’s hypothesis the America’s were once joined to Europe and’ Africa but split off and drifted westward.

This official announcement was made yesterday at Marine Corps headquarters in making public the fact that Col. Frederic L. Bradman, now in | charge of the school, will sail on June 14 to assume command of the brigade in Nicaragua.

Navigate Shallow Channel. “For 1,130 miles the Sungari winds from the heights of the Changpai Mountains, Manchuria's eastern wall, to the mighty Amur, which separates Si- beria and Manchuria. In its course, the Sungari rushes through forested can- yons. Only 60 miles of its upper reaches are not navigable for the shallow-draft native boats and steamers. Here, how- ever, lumber rafts successfully negotiate the swift current. At Kirin, the first city encountered as one goes down stream, the importance of the Sungari as a commercial artery of a fast-devel- oping region is revealed. “The river is shallow; between 2 and 9 feet deep for the greater part of its lflx?'.h below Kirin. But trafiic is heavy and the small harbors here and there along the river baflk are a forest of lnlked'mlam rising above junks and other native commercial craft. The stream flows northwestward from its highland source for about a fourth of its course. ' Then it absorbs the Nonni River, which drains most of Northwest Manchuria, and sharply veers north- eastward past Harbin and finally empties into the Amur. “The._Sungari Valley is like Manchu- ria as a whole—a fast-growing infant in commerce and agriculture.

In a recent year nearly 7, 000,000 tons of agricultural products were produced in the Sungari Valley, most of which were transported to mar- ket on the :iver boats. “Portions of the river, particularly above Harbin, are so hazardous that navigation at night is not attempted by even the most skilled pilots, but day the channel is alive with traffic.

BUCHAREST (N.ANA)—A sweet ven to the boy King proved rather trying to the mere gaze of one 50 young. While it Bd to be preserved intact, the youthful monarch sought distraction in his newly acquired set of air maps, which include the whole of Rumania. Michael has to study them @s part of his lessons, but as he is growing into an extremely air-minded boy he regards those as nice lessons, though he feels that a little practice work the air way would not come amiss.

Imports of American automobiles into Ttaly are increasing. poultry and pets, and palatial steamers of shallow draft that are becoming so numerous that they no longer seem out of place on this oriental stream. Sungari Swells Harbin Market. “Travelers observe that Harbin is just as fortunate to lie on the banks of the Sungari as the Sungari is to flow past Harbin. The grain fields of the Sun- gari Valley have been an important fac- tor in making Harbin the so-called Minneapolis of Manchuria and the great ‘Manchurian mart that it is. The traveler has but to visit the river bank to learn what the Sungari Valley con- tributes to the city’s commercial pros- perity. Coolies bearing huge sacks of wheat and soy beans, bundles of Chi- nese cabbage and other products Ilit- erally swarm over the boats and form an endless parade to the river bank. “In 1658 the Chinese ernment built 40 fighting boats on the Sungari to meet the Russian invasion. This |, was the first attempt of the Chinese ex- tensively to navigate the stream. The || shipbuilding yards were at Chuang- chang (meaning shipbuilding yard). ‘The site now is occupied by the City of Kirin, The Chinese Eastern Railroad bullt many boats to operate on the river.” —_———— Mother-in-Law Quits Work.

What is his is his wife’s, and what is hers is her own. || This attitude also characterizes the mother-in-law, who, upon the arrival| of the hride, drops the domestic work. She retires to the background, but it is a happy background. Invest. Bldg. AN UNUSUAL HOME $21,500 3708 OLIVER ST. CHEVY CHASE, D. C. Site 100x127 Ft. This Outstanding Val; .
