taxied to a halt after the flight.
Asked if she was surprised at the

Diphenyl Makes
a Play for Heat
Championship
Lightweight Candidate at Sixty-Five
Pounds Equals Steam
Pressure of 1000
Detroit, Mich. A rival for steam
heat, diphenyl, the world's newest
commercial substance, was introduc
ed to the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers here June 5.
Diphenyl pronounced dy-fen-ill
. is a synthetic chemical, some
thing that probably never existed
anywhere in nature, but better than
water for one purpose. This prop
erty scientifically named "heat trans
fer" was described by Prof. W. L.
Badger of the University of Michi
gan. Heat transfer is the thing that
steam does when it warms the radia
tor and through it the air in the
room. Diphenyl carries great heat
without the dengerous. explosive
pressure of steam. At 700 degrees
the new chemical has only about G5
pounds pressure compared with
about 1000 pounds for steam.
Diphenyl is not at present a sub
stitute for steam heat, but it fore
shadows the sort of stuff likely some
day to make it easier to pipe heat
into the house from a central station
much as water now is piped. Pro
fessor Badger revealed some of the
peculiarities encountered in using
diphenyl in the manufacture of caus
tic. For one thing, it can leak out
of joints impervious to steam and
water.
The automobile is responsible for
diphenyl. About two years ago an
oil refiner wanted it to substitute
for steam in a gasoline-making pro
cess. He could not buy any. There
was just one pound in the United
States, costing $40. Theodore Swann,
a young chemical manufacturer of
Birmingham, Ala., undertook to de
velop the stuff commercially and
now makes it at 30 cents a pound
wholesale.
Strangely enough diphenyl is made
from explosive benzene. By heat two
hydrogen atoms are forced out of
two benzene molecules, which there
upon unite to form the new sub
stance, a yellowish, white solid. It
melts at about 155 degrees Fahren
heit.. i
It already has given promise of be
ng a worthy child of zenzene; which
is one of the most widely used chemi
cals. From diphenyl already have
been made amber-colored resins,
black pitches and gray crystaline
solids. It has been used in making
varnish, insulation, flame proofing
and water proofing.
UNIVERSITY ON NEW LINES
Xewark The United States is to
have a university without a foot
ball team, without a glee club, with
out any iraiernmes, without any
proms, without any "college activ
ity except study. Announcement
was made Saturday of an initial en
dowment of $5,000,000 by Louis
Bamberger, retired merchant, and
his sister, Mrs. Felix Fuld, for es
tablishment of an institution where
teaches and post graduate students
may conduct intellectual exploration
untroubled by the "charms and di
versions usually associated with
college life.
There will be no undergraduate
body, the professors will divide their
time between teaching and carrying
on research in their respective fields.
anu tne students will pursue ad
vanced learning in purse science and
high scholarship.
Dr. Abraham Flexner, former di
rector of the division of medical edi-
cation of the general education board
of New York City, is to be the first
director of the institute, which will

ity.
U.
S. SKYSCRAPERS
INVADE EUROPE
Vienna, June 7. American sky
scrapers are invading central Euron-
ean cities. Until lately the construe
tion of buildings over six floors high
was not permitted in central Eu
ropean states. Austria, Hungary and
ozecn-biovakia, however, have almost
aiuiunaneoubiy abolished the sky-
bciaper proniDitions, and Jugo-Slavia
is expected to follow the example.
The Vienna municipality has al
ready begun with the construction of
an 11-story high apartment.
while the municipal committee of
uuaapest has Just given permission
for the erection of a 12-story build
ing. The introduction of the sky
scrapers in Prage, Belgrade and Za
greb is almost imminent.

Jim Reed is
Back in Politi
cal Spotlight
Friends of Former Missouri Senator
See in His Speech a Possible
Bid for Presidency.
St. Louis Political leaders thru
out the country Sunday speculated
on whether "Jim" Reed had return
ed actively to the politic.! 1 arena.
In Missouri democratic leaders ap
peared unanimous in the opinion that
Reed would campaign for the presi
dential nomination in 1932 Reed was
a candidate "to the end of the road"
he worded it at the Houston conven
tion, but the boom for Alfred E.
Smith had gained such headway that
the fiery Missourian was unable to
head it off.
Reed, in his first important speech
made since his retirement from the
senate two years ago, addressed a
large crowd at a statewide rally at
Sedalia Saturday night, and many
close observers believed the reaction
would determine whether the former
senator would set the white house as
his goal. They talked "Jim" Reed for
president openly at the rally, and
party leaders regarded it as signi
ficant that Reed did nothing to dis
courage it.
From the same platform Reed later
stood upon to assail the last three
republican administrations, business
monopoly, prohibition, the Hawley
Smoot tariff bill, the Anglo-American
naval agreement and "prostitution"
of the federal reserve system in stock
"gambling," John T Barker, city
counselor of Kansas City, former at
torney general of Missouri and long
a personal and political friend of the
ex-senator, said it was "not beyond
the real of possibility" that Reed
would be nominated and elected pres
ident. When Reed's turn came to speak,
he said nothing about Barker's state
ment. Tom Pendergast of Kansas City,
long a powerful democratic leader in
Missouri, said he felt certain Reed
would "have a chance" in 1932.
Reed took what many thought was
a shot at the tariff stand of the
democratic party in 1928, saying
by the hope of temporary victoryhntroduc. in the next legislature to
into the approval of false doctrines perm th.e ate to gave aid to the
and makeshift expedients, cannot
permanently destroy or change the
fundamentals which are the soul of
the democratic party."
"Political jugglers," he called
those responsible for the "false doc
trines and makeshift experients," but
refrained from mentioning names.
Always a vigorous opponent of na
tional prohibition. Reed indicated,
observers were convinced, that he
was opposed as ever to the law and
that should he campaign for the nom
ination, he would make prohibition
one of the leading issues. State

ALEXANDER'S TOMB
SOUGHT IN EGYPT
Cairo, June 7. The antiquities de
partment of Egypt has been author
ized by the government to search
for the grave of Alexander the Great
at the mosque of Xebi Daniel. On
giving its permission to proceed with
the search, the authorities condition
ed that should the body be found un
der no circumstances must it be
touched.
Alexander the Great died in Boby
oln on June 29, 323 B. C, at the
age of 33, having contracted a mali
gnant disease. Nine years previous
to his death, he founded the city of
Alexandria. About 50 years ago ex
cavators discovered a sarcophagus,
which is accepted to be that of
Alexander the Great. The discovery
was made at Sidon in Syria. In the
sarcophagus was found a strange
liquid in which was preserved the
body of a man in perfect condition.
Through careless handling the fluid
was spilled and the body shriveled
and turned into dust.
Excavators at the time were of
the opinion that the body was that
of one of Alexander's favorite gen
erals. The Journal has available two com
