A Star photographer snapped this air view of the “debatable” slum area in Southwest Washington, over which Secretary Ickes has gone to court in resisting the efforts of a few property owners who are opposing his efforts to make it the scene of Washington's first low-rent housing and slum clearance project. The site looks good to Secretary Ickes for the expenditure of $3,000,000 in P. W. A. funds to convert the area into & veritable model community of comfortable row houses and apartments. The debatable area, near the Washington Barracks, is bounded by P street, Half street, M and Canal streets. It is a mixed community of white and colored residents, most of them tenants. Miss Minnie Keyes, one of the property owners, started the fight against condemnation pro- ceedings, but finally accepted a more liberal offer for her group of houses. Then eight other restraining suits were filed and the Government's fight was on again, ~—Star Staff Photos taken from Goodyear Blimp.

A ray of light, not visible, but which makes perceivable in a-luminous manner invisible objects, was demon- strated at the seventh international convention ‘of the Rosicrucian Order in San Jose, Calif., last month. This was made known yesterday by Thomas W.

Spencer Lewis, im- perator of the society. Black light is said to be an es- sential phase of the lower portion of the solar spectrum, and has great penetrating powers, but is absolutely harmless in nature. It is expected to be a great boon to medical science, it is said, because it has the peculiar quality of making certain parts of a living organism luminous to the naked eye and thus capable of being photographed easily. Unlike other ultra-violet rays, black light is not destructive to living tissue, regardless of the length of time living matter may be exposed to it, reports said.
