New Buildings Are
Presented, Dedicated
Baltimore Editor Tenders Gift
Formally for Families
Editor’s Note
In spite of the fact that the new
Academy Buildings were dedicated
quite a few weeks ago, it seems that
inani/ who were not aide to attend
the ceremony must be interested and
would like to hear of the wide cir
cle of Salem friends who took par
iti the presentation.
In the presence of a host of peo
ple gathered from all over Eastern
United States, while messages from
still other people in this and for
eign countries poured in to add to
the felicitations, Frank Patterson,
editor of the Baltimore Sun, repre
senting the Patterson-Bahnson-
Shaffner families of. Winston-Salem,
New York, Baltimore and Richmond
at 3 o’clock made formal presenta
tion of the splendid, new memorial
Salem Academy plant to the trus
tees of that institution, who, through
their chairman. Dr. J. Kenneth
Pfohl, accepted the gift and forth
with dedicated it to its purpose.
The plant, one of the most valu
able and timely public gifts made
by any person or group of persons
in this vicinity in many years, af
fords the century-and-a-half-old in
stitution of learning a spacious, mod
ern home, with every convenience
for every purpose. Moreover, the
structures have been designed to
take care of the normal growth of
the school through the coming
years, making Salem Academy the
outstanding school of its^ kind for
physical equipment, as well as other
advantages, in all this part of the
South.
The presentation and dedication
exercises were opened in the chapel
of the building with Dean of Mu
sic C. G. Vardell, Jr., in charge of
a brief program, in which Mrs.
Robert .lensen sang a beautiful solo,
“Be Still and Know That I Am
God.”
Dr. Howard Rondthaler, presi
dent of Salem College and Salem
Academy, read a number . of the
many messages which had come to
him in anticipation of the dedica
tory services. Among others was a
wireless message from .J. M. More-
head, United States Minister to
Sweden.
This distinguished friend of Sa
lem wirelessed the following mes
sage from Stockholm: “Sorrj^ I am
not with you at the dedication. I
loved Aunt- Mary Patterson as I did
my own mother who likewise
tended the academy at about the
same time as she, I rejoice at
good work being done by her i
and congratulate the academy oi
growth in physical plant and
Huencc for education and general
betterment of tlie State.”
George Gordon Battle, sending
his greetings from Washington City,
said: “I send my congratulations on
the beautiful thought which is ma
terialized in the building you are
dedicating today.”
Other messages came from Dr.
Edwin Heath, Bethlehem, Pa.;
President Mary Woolley, of Mount
Holyoke College; Bisliop Edwin A.
Penick, of the Diocese of North
Carolina, Protestant Episcopal
Church; Dr. Francis Venable, for
mer president of the University of
Nortli Carolina, and a multitude
of other friends of the academy
from over the Eastern United
States. ‘ ■"
Hobart Upjohn, internationally
known designer of school structure.s,
tlie architect' dyew plans
the academy plant, spoke briefi;
the architecture used in the build
ings. He described it as
lonial, with added features, distinc
tively Moravian in nature. He de
clared that his associations with the
donors, academy officials and their
representatives had been the most
pleasant of any experience he had
enjoyed on projects,of this nature.
Herbert Pfohl, representing Fogh
Brothers Co., contractors, presented
the keys to the buildings, these be
ing accepted by Mr. Patterson, rep
uting the donors, who in turn
passed them along to Dr. J. Ken-
Pfohl, chairman of the board
of trustees.
r. Patterson spoke briefly, eulo
gizing the nobility of spirit which
ys had characterized the three
women whose lives were to be per
petuated in the buildings. He men
tioned the fact that it had been the
desire of one of these that, should
an}' memorial ever be erected for
her, it should be one that
some good to somebody.” He de
clared that these buildings were
tended to characterize the spirit of
that wish. •
To the aged Bishop Edward
Rondthaler, long president of the
academy and college, and for many
other years chairman of the board
of tru.stees, was given the happy
task of dedicating the building to
their purpose. lie declared that
the gifts were not of old, gray s
but rather a living gift to all hu
manity—a gift which would assist
materially in extending the ser
of this school, established 152 years
ago, to many coming generations of
young women.
Electric Eye Prevents Sunburn
Sensitive only to the particular
kind of ultra-violet, or health rays
that have value in curing rickets and
producing suntan, a new “electric
the basis of a machine that
automatically tells when a patient
lias had his daily dose of “sun rays”
a lamp. Thus it avoids the
possibility of artificial sunburn from
I overdose of the rays.
'Phe electric eye, developed by the
Westing'house Lamp Company, dif
fers from tubes coated with common
metals which allow an electric cur-
pass through when visible
light shines upon them. The new
device, instead, uses the rare metal
iranium, says Popular Science Mag-
"llow mucli ultra-violet radiation
the patient has received is shown by
counting the intermittent flashes of
a light connected to the appai
or, in another model, the number of
marks made by a pen on a revolving,
paper-covered drum. The device au-
matically ccmipensates for any vari
ation 0^ flickering of the light.
Electric current allowed -to pass
through the “eye” in proportion to
the intensity of the ultra-violet rays
accumulates in an electrical conden
ser until there is enough to dis
charge and flash the light or make
a mark on the paper.
Such a device, officials say, could
be used on the' beach to wan
bather exactly when he was in c
ger of sunburn from prolonged
'posure to the sun. In a recent dem
onstration in New York City,
showed how ordinary window gi
shuts out ultra-violet rays by of
ing to register at all when a sheet
of clear glass was slipped between
the “eye” and a quartz mercury
va])or lamp.
Electric Brakes for Autos
Greater safely and increased eai

tages claimed for an electromagnetic
braking system for the automobile.

The brakes are operated by a pedal

erator, in depressing the pedal,
ply turns on the current which does
the braking, and the installati
so adjusted that, if the c
rolls backward on an incline, the
brakes are set automatically ot
lieels. Operation of the

New Source of Power
Man has nearly reached the limit
ilopment of steam power and
will soon discover another and much
more efficient method of transform
ing energy to his uses. This far-
reaching prediction was made
cently before the world power
ference by C. F. Hirshfield, Detroit
research engineer, says Popular Me
chanics Magazine. Scientists can
now calculate the limit of power pro
duction possible under theory yet to
be applied, and, in fact, could attain
this limit if metals strong enough
stand the increasing pressures and
temperatures were available. Judg
ing from human history, a radically
different process for power devi .
ment may be expected before the
limit witii present methods has been
quite reached.
