C., May 18.— New information on the tremen- dous force of lightning is sought by Prof. Julius J. Petty, Univ sity of South Carolina geologist, in a study of fulgurites commonly called “thunder bolts.” Fulgurites, or lightning tubes, are formed when lightning strikes dry sand. Professor Petty has dis- covered more than 30 in the sand hills near Columbia. Fused Sand Makes Tubes “A tremendous amount of en- ergy naturally was discharged in the formation of these tubes,” he said. “Heat resulting from the re- sistance offered to passage of the charge fuses the sand, creating the tubes. “By a study of these mute rec- ords of the discharges we hope to obtain new information on the mysterious natural phenomenon of lightning.” Professor Petty explained he was concerned primarily with the field aspects of the research but eXpected to collect data useful in a more extended study. He esti- mates there was about one ful- gurite to the acre in the area he surveyed, Indicates Infrequent Hits Since the tubes were formed over a period of many thousands of years, this indicates, he pointed out, the infrequency of lightning striking in a given area over a comparatively short period of time.

DE JANEIRO, May 18.— Brazil's leading breeder of race horses and one of its veteran dip- lomats has been bent to talk world ¢conomics ard money with Presi- dent Roosevelt. Joaquim Francisco de Assis Brasil is in his middle seventies. He has been serving his country off and on for forty years but every time he tries to retire to his estate in Rio Grande do Sul, they find a new mission for him and drag him away from his beloved life in the country, “Frank solidarity with the Unit- ed States” will be Brazil’s attitude in the conferences, After Dr. As- sis Brasil has expressed this idea in Washington and suggested a re- ciproeal trade agreement, he will go to London as a special envoy te repay the visit which the Prince of Wales made to this republic in 1931. Senhor Assis Brasil was ambas- sador to the United States in the early years of the century. He speaks English fluently. In both capitals he will have important tasks.

Farsie Pros Anedlsien For awhile it looked like Flor- ida was about to lose her “Voice” but now a senate committee, after prowlin’ around down in Gaines- ville, tells us that instead of hit- tin’ WRUF over the head with an axe, maybe if we just operate on her tonsils and nurse her along a little, it might be a better idea. They tell us how many farmers have radio sets, but they forget to mention how many of ’em ever heard “the voice of Florida.” We've got over a hundred thou. sand dollars invested in it now and still the darn thing can’t. do much more than whisper. : If we’re gonna keep the station, we ought to quit foolin’ around and apply to the Federal Radio Commission for the right to oper- ate it on a 50,000 watt day-time schedule and then develop some constructive helpful progranis in which the public would be interest- ed. Operated as it is now, WRUF is a first class pain in the neck to the average radio listener. As far as bein’ beneficial to the taxpayer; I don’t believe there would be any mob marchin’ on Tallahassee if it was announced that the station was being discontinued altogether. The only time WRUF was really popular with a lot of people was when they were broadcastin’ the football games with Red Barber on the mike. Red knows his stuff and he’s a snappy, peppy announ- cer. Give that boy a mike with some power behind it and he'll popularize the station and have folks tunein’ in for it, and you can take it from me there’s darn few exertin’ themselves in that direc- tion right now, We can protect the money we already have invested in WRUF and develop it into a proposition acceptable and appreciated by thé public. The chances are, how. ever, that we won't. About all we can do now is “stand by” for fur- ther announcements, Well, it seems that there are still two or three people out of work, judgin’ from the number of applications the governor received for the job of beer inspector. A chance to gallop from beer a joint to beer joint singin’ “Sweet Adeline” and get paid for it had such a general appeal that about eight hundred guys answered “Here” before Dave even started callin’ the roll. And now there's even a better rar comin’ up for somebody and if I'm any judge of humah nature Tra: bettin’ there will be’a million pplication’.
