SEWAGE DISPOSAL
GRAVITATION PULL
Water Separated From
Sludge by Big Centrifuge
Disposes of Million
Gallons of Water Daily
TORNADO SWEEPS THROUGH KANSAS
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEB.
y (Associated Press Science Editor)
COLLINGSWOOD, K. J. (AP)
The pull of gravitation, multiplied
3500 times. Is used in ft new form
of sewage disposal In operation at
Ceilings wood.
The new apparatus puts a pull of
38,000 pounds to the square Inch
on raw sewage. The result is Instant
separation of the water from, the
sludge the "de-watering" which has
been one of the main problems and
expenses. j
The machine la ft big centrifuge.!
tall as a man, an application of the j
whirling principle which scientists
have developed lately. In the great
scientific laboratories, even mole
cules of different weight are sepa- ,
rated completely by the centrifuge
method.
Basket Is Whirled.
For sewage the whlrler Is a metal
basket about the size of two fat
barrels plied one on top of the 1
other. It revolves 2000 times a min
ute. Its aides are perforated with
"ladder" holes.
That Is. a hole does not go directly
through, but in a series of down
ward steps, lining the Inside of the
( basket Is a plate of special filtering
t material.
As the big barrel whirls, the sewage
contents are pressed against lta sides
with a force 2500 times that of
gravitation's pull. The water passes
through the filter and out the ladder
holes.
The sludge gathers on the inside
lining. This is the first "major change
In dewatcring sewage in many years.
Discovery of the principle of "flota
tion" of ores In the mining industry
was adapted years ago to sewage dis
posal and has been the standard
usage since.
The Collingswood unit complete
weighs about nine and a half tons.
It disposes of a million gallons of
water dally.
Vsrfl As Fertilizer.
It was established as a full-size
test of the centrifugal principle,
after smaller laboratory "trials. The
American Centrifugal corporation of
New York, which put It up, makes
several claims for economies com
pared with the present dewatering
methods.
The sludge, it is said, is ready for
immediate incineration when taken
h(rom the whirling banket. It Is dry
enough so that it burns without
great cost. Or It can be used for
fertilizer.
The company says the expense of
drying beds Is saved, capital costs
are reduced about 50 per cent. The
centrifuge Is Independent of the
weather.
The water. It Is claimed. Is clari
fied enough to be returned to streams
without polluting them.

Questioned regarding reports that a
relationship had been found between
sex and metaplasia. Dr. Colli p said
that Dr. H. Selye. Dr. D. T. Thompson '
and himself recently had obtained
definite proof of the long-suspected,
but unproven relation between the
female sex hormone and metaplasia,
which, Is the direct conveison of one 1
form of tissue Into another form, for
example, of cartilage Into bone.
Definite Bearing
Dr. Collip emphasized that he and
his associate are not yet able to fore- i
see how their discovery can be applied
to the cancer problem, but they re
garded their work as having a definite
bearing on cancer research and are
hopeful that several months more of
experimenting will lead to a conclu
sion one way or another.
Dr. Collip explained that the female
sex hormone has been suspected of
causing metaplasia -for some time.
The McGlU discovery came In the
course of an investigation Into anti
hormone effects.
Create lleblstmice
The scientists round that after re
peated doses of hormone from the
anterior pituitary gland, the body
builds up a resistance to the hor
mone. They are trying to find whe
ther this anti-hormone effect would
also be produced by repeated Injec
tions of the female sex hormone when
they discovered that excess amounts
of the hormone did produce tissue
changes.
Dr. Collip said that dally Injections
of the sex hormones for 19 weeks pro
duced metaplasia In rats.

Seen in Recent Years
By nwiurifl Varitwrn
United Press Staff Correspondent,
PARIS (UP) An active campaign
to recapture the tourist trade, whih
in former years brought 11.000,000.000
annuaily (ttta French poefceta ta cte- i
veloping here as spring approaches.
Critics of the official French bu
reau of tourism assert that although
there has been a great falling nff in
travel during recent years, Spain, ,
Italy. Germany and even Soviet Rus- 1
sla are succeeding In their attempts
to attract thousands of foreigners.
The tmportant afternoon newspaper
'L'lntransigeanf declares Prance has
mucn to learn In this respect from 1
Italy, where Count Galeazzo Clano is
waging an Intensive campaign to
make Italy the most popular country
In the world for travel.
"RftMftfcfe f'.gwre -.eveM the aston
ishing progress being made by Italy,"
says "L'liitranfiigeant," emphaslrlng
the Importance which Premier Musso
lini attaches to attracting foreigners
"In 1930 there were otttf about 320.
000 tourists, while In 1934 tourists In
creased to 3,500,000, or eleven times
as much.
"The head of the Italian govern
ment knows that tourism, abovr
everything else, is the pleasure of
travel. What interferes with this
pleasure more than anything else ia
excessive expenses. Italy, realizing
this, has reduced railroad fares in
many Instances as much as 10 per
cent. Tipping has been done away
with. A limit of 30 lire per tourist
was placed on the Taxe de Sejour.
"Despite the crisis, we see that
