Warden James P. Corgan prevented a general prison riot. ordering all the convicts to their cells after hrec of the four who planned the escape bar- ricaded themselves in the industrial building shortly after 8 a.m. carrying two guards as hostages, and ‘demanded they be freed.

(#).—What puts| electricity in sandstorms of the Middle | West is the object of an experiment bc%tlx;g conducted at Texas Technolog il Citizens of West Texas since the days of early settlers have experienced the electrical manifestations from contact with wire fences, automobiles, radio antennae and even insulated conduc- tors. Ranchers have been knocked down cutting off a windmill with a chain | windlass. The department has meas- ured more thah 40,000 volts by using & radio antenna and a spark gap. “On_accidentally coming in contact with the wire, one is almost knocked down.” Dr. E. F. George, head of the department, said. “When the sand- =torm is_in full blast, fl'ua tpark gap sounds almost like a .22 rifi Dr. George is certain the charge “is not_due to friction between the wind and the wire.” He said, however, that it might be due to friction between molecules of the air, grains of sand and dust particles and the wire. Sometimes the humidity here is so low that there is practically no water vapor in the air to absorb the sunlight “Under these conditions,” Dr. George said, “the sunlight beating down on the uppermost dust layer must be rich in ultra-violet rays. These “actinic rays would probably lonize, (electrify) some of the dust particles. sy <k BANK OF EUROPE - FAILS TO OPEN IN NEW YORK State Banking Department Takes Charge of Institution With De- posits at Nearly $9,500,000.
