SYNAGUGUE R"ES Where Mountain Side Sk ATTENDED BY 20 Ancient Torahs Ceremony Dedicates New Temple in Brightwood Area. ‘The ceremony of the torahs, an an- clent Hebrew ritual, marked the dedi- cation yesterday of the new Beth El Bynagogue at Seventh and Jefferson streets. Rabbi Aaron Volkman, who founded the synagogue for the Jewish people of the Brightwood area, offi- ciated at the dedicatory services. The four torahs, parchment scrolls on which are written the five Books of Moses, were carried down the middle aisle of the synagogue while the congregation chanted the Shema, Jewish profession of faith. As the chant ended with the words “Hear, O Israel, the Lord Our God, the Lord Is One,” the torahs were placed in the tabernacle. More than 200 persons crowded the synagogue auditorium to hear Rabbi Volkman and guest Rabbi Solomon Metz, L. T. Loeb, M. H. Levinson, Abram Simon and Harry Silverstone. Rabbi Samuel Volkman, Chicago, son of Rabbi Aaron Volkman, also spoke. Morris Fleishman and Morris Gar- finkel acted as co-chairmen for the exercises.

Dr. Harrison E. Howe, editor of In- dustrial and Engineering Chemistry, told of the humble beginnings of pat- ents as monopolies to levy certain taxes granted by feudal lords to fa- vored retainers. In England this sys- tem of patents became recognized in | law and by the time of Queen Eliza- beth was being terribly abused. This roused such intense popular feeling that during the following reign of James I was enacted the famous | statute of monopolies, in which the grant of such privileges was restricted to those who actually had introduced | a new product. It was no longer possible for the King to pay off a gambling debt by establishing a sales | tax on potatoes for some courtier who | had never seen a potato—but such a tax could have been set up for the —— FOUND.

This, said Dr. Howe, became the foundation of the patent law of the world. Monopolies were very unpop- ular in the United States after the Revolution, however, and there was a great deal of confusion which finally | was clarified by the present system. Partially because of the encourage- ment afforded by its patent system, the United States had taken the lead- ing part in the material progress of the past century, and, declared Dr. Dexter Kimball of Cornell University, has the major part of the benefits. He said: “The United States, with about 7 per cent of the world’s population, owns half the world’s communication facilities, nearly half the world’s rail- ways, has one automobile for every | five persons, whereas the four other | leading nations have one for every 59 | persons; has one telephone to every | seven persons, as compared to one for each 35 in the other leading four na- tions, and one radio for every six per- | sons, as against one for every 17 in the same lands. | “At the same time the industrial system has become so complex and | delicate that it is easily thrown out \ of balance and the depressions, which are a very old phenomenon, become | | increasingly violent and prolonged. It is during such periods that the ecry | against technological unemployment ana scientific progress is raised, ignor- ing the self-evident fact that we have reached the economic level we now occupy only through the use of these | inventions and equally ignoring the fact that even in the depths of this depression we were, as a people, .m- | mensely better off than the average — | workers during the best of times be- | fore the industrial revolution.” ) Must Make Haste Slowly. | “But.” Prof. Kimball warned, must make haste more slowly for * * * invention and its results always |act quickly. Social and political changes move more slowly. The !laws of supply and demand operated quickly under the older and simpler methods. The complexity of modern methods tends to make these laws IacL more sluggishly.” The patent system has been a great | democratizing force, said Thomas | Ewing, former commissioner of | patents, and on the whole have in- { creased employment. | The system, he said, also gives the | small business man a means of com- }peting with the big corporations. | “The future of invention will dwarf | its past,” declared Dr. Robert E. Wil= B | son. vice president of the Pan-Amer- ican Petroleum and Transport Co. | While notable advances probably can be expected in all fields, Dr. Wilson said, the greatest inventive progress is likely to come in medicine and agri- | culture in which the future may look | upon the present relatively as part of | the dark ages. A bar to progress, he said, is in the ery mass production which makes the utilization of invention possible. It re- quires standardization of methods and machinery. This in turn tends to dis- courage radical changes in design which will require new set-ups. Drama Is Presented. The afternoon was taken up with a dramatic presentation of the pos- sibilities of the immediate future, the “Research Parade” arranged by Wat- son Davis. After a preliminary scene depicting the sadly mistaken Mr, Ells- worth making his prophecy a spot- light was turned on Dr. Albert W. RT | Hull of the General Electric Co., who demonstrated a device by which the transmission of electricity can be greatly increased. This is already practical in the laboratory. It con- sists of special tubes which make it possible to change alternating current to direct current when it enters a transmission line and back again into alternating current at the other end of the line. Thus only direct current need be transmitted over power lines.

Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in a demon- stration of his recently invented solar engine which represents man’s most practical approach - to obtaining power directly from the sun. Polarization Is Dramatized. For more than 300 years science has known of the peculiar property of light known as polarization, but almost up to the present it has re- mained a laboratory curiosity and an aid to research. It may be on the point of becoming of extreme practical value by making highways safe from glare. This was demonstrated in the next episode by Dr. L. W. Chubb, di- rector of the research laboratories of the Westinghouse Electric & Manu- facturing Co. Polarized light is light which vi- brates in only one direction in con- trast to the helter-skelter vibration in the ordinary light ray. Ordinary light vibrations might be considered as & mass of straws tossed up in the wind. They are blown against a | picket fence. All straws are stopped | except those parallel to the slats and all straws coming through are lined up in one direction. The straws that get through are polarized. Now consider the crystals of an automobile headlight as such & plcket‘ fence, so constructed that all the| light vibrations coming through are | in a plane 45 degrees from the hori- zontal. A brilliant light is thrown over the road ahead. Now the driver of an approaching car has in front of his eyes a screen, or pair of spectacles, which also acts as a picket fence, but whose slats are not parallel to those of the headlamp. Thus the glare of the headlights of the other car does not get through to his eyes, but he himself can see clearly. Ultra-Sound Waves. The next episode turned to the weird and still largely unknown realm of | ultra-sound waves. The human ear, as can be demonstrated from any piano keyboard, is sensitive only to a certain narrow range of wave- | lengths of vibrations in air. Longer or shorter vibrations cannot be heard and in the past have attracted little attention. But strange things can be done | with them, it was demonstrated by | When you can have the best possible optical serv- ice here ot a. moderate cost there is no reason being satisfied with any- thing less.

Then the spotlight' was turned on E. H. Scott of the Scott Radio Labora- tories, who demonstrated a 50-tube radio receiving set which reproduces with remarkable fidelity the exact intonation of the human voice from a whisper to a shout. Then Dr. V. K. Zworykin of the Radio Corporation of American Laboratories demonstrated the electron image tube, which makes possible the viewing of scenes to which otherwise the human eye is quite blind. The next demonstration was by Warren E. Emley of the Bureau of Standards of the hosiery testing ma- chine now in use there. It was used as an {llustration of a whole class of testing machinery by which the qual- ity of the mercantile products can be determined. The research parade then turned to the great drama of medicine. Dr. Albert Steinberg of the Philadelphia General Hospital was the demonstrator. At that institution Dr. Leonard Roundtree has found that if young rats are fed extracts from the thymus |gland, the so-called “gland of youth” in the neck, there is great acceleration of growth. If thymus is fed to the offspring of these rates in the same amounts they show an even greater acceleration than did their parents. | The grandchildren show an even greater acceleration. and so on. Shows Use for Lignin. Next was Carlile P.

It | makes up from 20 to 30 per cent of all | plant growth. It has been, according to Mr. Winslow, “the chemist's dark continent.” Ernest K. Bridgewater of the E.

The convention’s Legislative Com- mittee gave “solemn warning that un- less labor acts quickly the La Follette Committee is in danger of being drugged, poisoned or starved to death by one of the most powerful lobbles ever mobilized.” Green reviewed the A.

Support for measures to give Alaska rallroad workers a 40-hour week, to place “adequate labor representation” on the Maritime Commission, to liber~ alize Government workers’ compensa- tion, and give more time to labor radio stations also was approved.

Howard, secretary of Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Oi- ganization, said the insurgents would be forced to set up « rival organiza- tion if the federation’s convention backed up suspensions of the rebel unions, “We will be driven to set up more than a committee without a constitu- tion, without dues and without affilia~ tion,” he said. “It will mean a full organization and that will mean a fight.” Howard is a delegate to the federa- tion convention, even though he is a rebel committee executive and before today had not taken his seat. His International Typographical Union was not suspended when 10 others in the Lewis faction lost their good standing for “insurrection,” be- cause the printers at that time had not formally indorsed the Lewis cause, BRITAIN DEMANDS JAPAN’S APOLOGY Beating of 3 Sailors Still Open Case, Eden Tells Com- mons.
