April 15. The only straight contest between rresid!iil Cooltdse and Senator Johnson In the presiden tial primarie in Massachusetts 011 April 29 will be the first congressional district. Dwight B. Mr.cCormack of Westfield, pledged to Johnson, is a candidate for district delegate in op position to John H. Waterhouse and William F. Whiting, pledged to Cool Jdge. MacCormack is a second year stik dent at the Harvard Law School and was graduated in 1922 from Amherst Coolldge, President Coolidges'a alma mater. The first distric is in the west rrn part of the state and includes a part of Hampshire county, the Presi dent's home county, although North ampton, his home city, and Amherst are In the second district. In the first su strict are the cities of Holyoke, North Adams, Pittsfield and West field. There will be no contest for the even delegates at large to the Iiepub. llijan national convention. All will go pledged to Coolldge, the list including Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Speaker Frederick H. Gillett, Governor Clutn titng H. Cox and William M. Butler, national committeeman and manager cf the Coolldge campaign. There will te republican contests in seven dis tricts where Individual candidates with preferences unexpressed are seeking the domination over the Coolldge can didates. The state will send 83 dist rict delegates to the convention. Nine candidates have filed for the lght places as delegates at large to the pemocratic national convention, each with half a vote. The organiza tion slate is headed by Senator David I. Walsh and is unpledged. The only opposition candidate is Brigadier Gen eral Charles H. Cole, who filed papers as a protest against the omission of the name of a world war veteran from the slate. General Cole has announc ed that if elected ho will support Governor Smith of New York for the presidential nomination. Joseph C. I'elletler, former district attorney of Suffolk county and removed frm that position by the supreme court, tiled as a candidate, but died March 25. For the 64 places as democratic district delegate, each with half a vote there are 133. candidates, with con tests in all but three of the 16 dis tricts. Their presidential preferences are unannounced except in two in. j stances, George F. Monahan in the tenth district being pledged to Gover I nor Smith of New York and Edward ,3. S'-nnott in the eight district ex i pressing a pre ference for William A. Gaston of Boston, democratic nominee for 17. S. senator against Senator Lodge in 1922. HAS WEST PROJECTION 3:;s Feet H the Distance and It Will lie tscd At the Republican National Convention. Cleveland, April 15. The moving picture projector of the Cleveland public hall, which will probably be used when the republican national convention is held here in June, is j believed by the management of the hall to have the longest projection of jail projectors in the country, perhaps in the world, 335 feet. If this projector were to be installed in an oruinary picture utejtier a pun of one figure in a scene would cover the whole screen. The lens, carbon holders and lamp housing were spe cially made to carry the length of the hail. The projection chamber is con cealed where the ceiling elopes into the rear wall. Spotlights which will be cast upon the speakers are In the same chamber and therefore have a range considered equally unusual, although no special fixtures were necessary. Pictures are cast on a rigid 2,000 pound sheet of ground glass and cement on a wooden frame. SCIENTIFIC TESTS ON ROADVALUES Experiments Show What Types Are Most Dependable Ames, Iowa, April 13. A machine which measures accurately the pull exerted by a team of horses, which. In the opinion of expert horsemen, promises to revolutionize the. draft horse breeding business, has been in vented by E. V. CoUins of the agri cultural engineering department of Iowa State college In cooperation with the Morse Association of America. In appearance the machine Is much like a wagon and makes use of the pr.'neiple of hydraulics. Weights, the liiiinter of which can be changed at will, are suspended in mid-air while the horses are pulling. When tho horses pull, the - weights are raised, a alve Is opened, the wheels are umucked and the wagon moves forward. Tho load which the team pulls Is always constant,, whether on a paver" nt, a plowed field or going i:p or down bill. Testa already conducted sh'.w that steel rf.ils over the least resistance to a road, with level granite blocks, well laid in eminent, a close seconu. as phalt offers twice the resistance of steel rails, and Is ranked the lowest. The tests show that tr.e heavlei the horse, ihe &i eater his capacity to pull. Much depends on the driver's method of hatid'ing r's t ani. A team of New York horses holds the world's lecord f"r pulling 8.460 pounds 12 feet In six seconds. The average pull exerted by a tej n Is 800 pounds, ihowlnf that teams have a reserve' power much greater than is required in ordn ary pulling. Bees see the rays of ultraviolet light which is invisible to the human eye. USE OF MORGAN LIBRARY FOR REAL WORKERS ONLY Hundreds of Applications From Si'liulars, Research Students and hUj Curious Deluge Staff New York, April 25. Hundreds of applications from scholars, research students and the Idly curious for per mission to visit the magnificent Pier- jpont Morgan library in East 36th street have deluged the staff since Mr. Morgan on February 16. as a memo rial to his father, turned the library and its contents over to a board of trustees for the use in perpetuity of scholars. The waiting list already Is so long that no further applications, no mat ter how merltf rious, can be consider ed 'until late summer, according to Miss Belle da Costa Greene, the di rector. Nearly every section of the nation is represented in the list which is the result of careful elimination of sightseeing curiosity seekers and of granting of applications to those in tent upon serious utilization of the re sources offered by the books and manuscripts of the $7,000,000 collec tion. ( The snallness of the library and the great value of Its contents and decorations make it impossible to ad mit many persons at a time, while general visitors must be barred en tirely to save the treasures from pos sible accidental injury. Already, according to Miss Greene, it has been found advisable to re move several priceless rugs and to clear Mr. Morgan's private room of some of its art objecta It may be necessary later to have the trustees use the power granted them In the deed of gift to restrict the number of persons admitted. Of the serious workers, 10 are ad mitted at a time at the rate of about 60 a day. Packers wrapping oranges or lem ons average as high as 75 boxes a day.
