Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL
Raleigh, April 26.—Operations
against the Japanese beetle, pest over
which there was so much discussion
during the recent legislature, have
resulted in treatment of some 150
acres in four cities, while soil poison
ing is in progress in several other lo
calities.
Completed operations include 50
acres treated in Winston-Salem, 70
acres in Greensboro, 20 acres in Wil
mingto nand 10 acres in Sanford.
Other city work still to be finish
ed includes Charlotte, 6 acres; Dur
ham 7 acres: Elizabeth City, 7 acres;
High Point 10 acres; Spencer and E.
Spencer, 55 acres; and Raleigh, 8
acres.
The treatment consists in applica
tion of 1,000 pounds of arsenate of
lead per acre by government spray
ers. This treatment is said to be prac
tically 100 per cent effective, and if
the beetle can be effectively poison
ed in the cities where they always
start first, spread to crop centers can
be prevented for an indefinite time.
No titles changed as the'result of
Charlotte’s city head election. It’s
still Mayor Ben Douglas and Repre
sentative J. B. Vogler.
Senator Jack Morphew came down
from the mountains of Graham to
Raleigh Tuesday. He says prospects
for a fine tourist season in the west
are extremely bright, if early signs
are really indicative.
He cited the recent opening of Lake
SanteelJfc to fishermen for two days
and the resultant collection of some
thing like S4OO in license fees from
the ambitious anglers who literally
fringed the wonderfully beautiful
lake.
Office hours in all State depart
ments, bureaus and agencies will
change Monday, May 1. Work will
start at 8:30, half hour earlier than
at present, lunch interim and closing
time will be correspondingly ad
vanced to 12:30 and 4:30 p. m.
Rumor will not die that Congress
man Lindsay Warren will run for the
gubernatorial nomination next year.
It seems rather far-fetched, what
with the Washington, D. C. and N.
C., lawmaker so near the top of the
Federal ladder.
HENDERSON, (N. C.) D|AILY DISPATCH WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26,1939 H
Duke Electrical Instructor
Developes Important Device
Durham, April 26.—The United
States patent office has just issued
patent No. 2,154,354 to Russell Ran
bon, instructor in electrical engineer
ing at Duke university. The title of
the patent is “Regulators”, and in it
is described a number of methods of
controlling the output volatge of
electric generators, or other devices,
by means of certain types of vacuum
tubes, the tubes themselves being
controlled by special voltage sensi
tive circuits devised by Mr. aßnson.
The device is of wide applicability to
all types of direct current genera
tors, and makes available for the first
time a simole, accurate, and reliable
method for obtaining a constant and
predetermined output voltage which
is so necessary for many industrial
applications.
Heretofore closely regulated out
put voltage has been attained only
by means of such complicated devices
that the cost was prohibitive except
in a few extreme cases. Mr. Ranson’s
regulator is simple and inexpensive.
At the same time it permits of much
closer regulation than has ever be
fore been obtained with commercial
devices. It makes laboratory regula
tion available to industry at large.
The extensive research work re
quired for this development was car
ried out in the laboratories of the
electrical engineering department.
When Mr. Ranson first came here in
1935 he was assigned the task of de
veloping a much needed voltage
regulator for the use of the Mora
tory, there being none available at
If he does, there’s one sure thing—
it will be an admission that the next
Congress is going Republican. War
ren would seem to have too much to
gain to quit one which has any; pros
pect of being Democratic.

STATE FIRE COLLEGE

Raleigh, April 26. — (AP) —The

well has said.
Firemen, fire chiefs and insurance
department representatives will meet
at the drill tower of the Wilming

tions of fire streams, portable light

poisonous gases sometimes encount
ered in fires, and automobile pump
ing engines.
that time. The research finally re
sulted in the device for which the
patent was issued. The first regulator
built is now in use in the electrical
machinery laboratory, the only col
lege laboratory in the country sup
plied with such closely regulated
direct current supply. A number of
the regulators are now in use in the
steel mills where the speed of rolling
mills must be closely regulated. Other
applications of the method of con
trol are now under investigation by
steel manufacturers.
Mr. Ranson has resigned from Duke
university, effective in June, and
goes with the Clark Controller Co.,
of Cleveland, Ohio, as director of
electronic research and development.
