ELECTRONS NENACE T0 LEAD GABL Ressarch fo Offset Elffects Car- Tied on at Cornell Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. ¢ M—An an- swer in dollar and cent values to a’ question often asked by the man-in- the-street, “What is the use of dis- covering what an electron does?” is under development at Cornell Uni- versity. Research men here are on the trail of electrons believed ‘to be one of the mysterious agencies that cause trouble in the high-tension, lead-sheathed cablés carrying elec- tric power beneath city streets. Ex- pensive cables deteriorate, even oc- casionally to the point of complete breakdown. Here is what research has divulg- ed. Cables in use heat up, expand- ing the lead sheath. When they cool, contraction follows in all parts except the lead cover. Voids containing gas at low pressure are formed within the insulation, cre- ating favorable conditions for a phenomen called lonization, which consists in formation of electrically charged minute particles, ions and electrons. The electrons bombarded the insulation in the cable until it deteriorates. One of the prineipal insulating substanees is mineral oil impreg- nated'in paper. Experimenis show that the electronic bomBardment produces chemical changes in both oil and paper. For a remedy the Cornell men seek on oil or some other compound that will resist electric bombardment better. A number of chemical changes are involved. To get at the problem a tube has been constructed through which a stream of elec- trons can be shot against various kinds of oils. Instead of using com- merclal oils, the experimgnters sep- arate the oil into the various chm- icals composing it and shoot, the electrons at the single elements be- lieved to contain the key to discov- ery of better resistance. Large manufacturing and oper- ating compannes are conducting ya- rious researches to remedy this de- terioration. The work at Cornell sponsored by the Detroit Edison company, is carried out in the de- partment of physics and chemistry by Dr. H. A. Trebler and E. G. Lin- der, .supervised by Prof. Vladimir Karapetoff of the department of electrical engineering.

Baird, the bridegroom- to-be, already was a married man. Baird, 32 years old, was arrested ¢at his home in Wilkinsburg, Pa., and indicted by the grand jury yesterday on a charge of perjury in having sworn in his application for a mar- riage license that he never had been married. Investigation by the orphan's court, which has jurisdiction over the marriage license bureau, is al- leged to have disclosed that Baird was married in this city in 1927 to Mary B. Latimer. 8he brought suit for divorce last June but the case has not come to trial. Baird was placed on $2,500 bail to appear for trial when wanted. Miss 8wain, a native of Kansas, was found dead by her maid five hours before the time set for her wedding. An elaborate church wed- ding had been planued and guests had assembled for the ceremony be- fore word of her death was received. Friends said that earlier in the day she had met Baird and also had talked with him over the telephone. Her body, surrounded by her wed- ding finery and with a pistol clutched in her hand, was found on her bed. A note nearby read: “I have noth- ing to live for. Please forgive me.” Ibanez Monument Will Rise in Menton Square Menton, France, Jan, ¢ A — A monument to the memory of Blasco | Ibanez, the Hpanish writer who spent the last six years of his life here will be erected in the city's public square despite the municipali- ty's refusal to defray the cost.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1929, DUNDEE FIGHTS N GARDEN TONIGHT Former Putberweiht Champion Appes n Prlminary New ‘York, Jan. 4 (UP-—A gal- lant little fighter who haa, contrib- uted more than his share to Ameri- can ring history boxes once more tonight in Madison Square Garden, but not as one of the principals in the main event. . After nearly 18 years in the ring, Johnny Dundee appears at last as & preliminary boxer, one whode op- ponents now are carefully selected for him by the New York State Ath- letic commission. Dundee mieets Charley Phil R_fllenber“ another fallen champion in one of the ten round bouts which precede tHe feature match between Max S8chmeling of Germany and Joé 8ekyra of Ohio, a pair of second rate heavyweights who weren't out of swaddling clothes when the di- minutive Italian first Yought as a protessional. Rosenberg himself has seen better days, having ruled the bantamweight division by vir- tue of a victory over Cannonball Eddie Martin back in 1925. But Charley is a mere youngster com- pared with Johnny. The story of Dundee is one of the real tragedies of the prize ring, but because he has his health and a nice set of store teeth few have taken the trouble to learn the true story of the little Itailan, and why at nearly 40 years of age, he goes on fighting. Johnny ‘made between $400,000 and $500,000 in the ring, and should be enjoying his farily ripe old age at the moment. Instead he is box- ing prelims because he needs the money. An extravagant family cost Dundee the profits of a long and indisputably honorable fistic career, and here he is at close to two ascore years of age, risking what remains of a still husky frame in fighting for a few hundred dollars. Dundee once was featherweight champion, but he is best remem- bered for his bouts with Benny Leonard and other lightweights, to fight whom he gave away many & pound. Two ex-champions fighting in & preliminary bout for a few hundred dollars apiece, and the principals in the main bout rating thousands. Max Schmeling is a most promis- ing young German heavyweight, who resembles Jack Dempsey and hits a creditable straight right. Joe Sekyra s a rugged young Bo- hemian who has no future except that which awaits those “trial horses” of the ring—an addled brain. Schmeling 18 favored at odds of 8 to 5. He has fought but once before in this country, yet the im- pression exists that he will win from the Ohioan. If he does, May may be inserted into Tex Rickard's elimina- tion’ tournament, which needs a bit of foreign blood. The tournament is not exciting any unusual interest; not nearly as much, for instance as that aggra- vated appendix which Tex himself lost a couple of days ago. Jack Dempsey is headed for Florida to lend {mpetus to the general achem: of things. At one stop Dempsey de- nies any intention of returning to the ring; at the next, he hints that he may attempt to come back. This would be a good time to end the subterfuge. Dempsey intends to try once more for the heavyweight championship, He and Rickard are doubtful of his ability to make the grade and have no intention of ex- posing his obvious shortcomings to the average fan.: Consequently, the ex-champion will blow hot and cold until the time is judged ripe for & definite announcement. The decision, such as it is, already has been made. Dempsey knows, and Rickard knows, that if Jack can prop him- self up by next September he will meet some one of the heavyweight jcontenders with the title, such as it is, at stake. Mexicans Enjoy Steak After Each Bull Fight Mexico City, Jan. 4. UP—Bun fighting in Mexico serves the prac- tical purpose of supplying the mar- kot with a"conaiderable quantity of steaks and roasts. After each day’'s program in the “Plaza de Toros' trom six to cight bulls are quarterea and carted off to the butcher shops. Sunday finds the bull fightings arena crowded with fans, who dem- onstrate their enthusiasm or dis- pleasure over the fights much as = baseball crowd applauds or jeers the players. If a bull does not ap- pear to be in a fighting mood the spectators demand that it be taken away, but it the animal good battle the fans rise feet and ut in delight. to their Many Here Try Now Hospital u.{m w Homes ror Head and Chest Colds By taking the advice of therr 1doctors and using a method that has relleved even the most ex- treme hospital cases, Mrs. E.
