AS a result, he has been able to
knock electrons out of the nuclei of
the atoms of these substances, thus
changing them from one substance
into another.
Rutherford has been able in this
way to disintegrate the atoms Of
boron. fiuorine, sodium, aluminium
and phosphorus.
The disintegration so far, however.
is only a laboratory phenomenon.
The amount of disintegration is
exceedingly minute.
This is because both the atoms of
the substances being bombarded and
the alpha particles which do the
bombarding are so small that TO
microscope could ever reveal their
size.
A marksman would despair II no

CHAPTER 4
Preparing the Layette

I'D z now reach a very critical
WI period in the earth's history.
w 1t was getting ready for the
first life, and so, of course, there
was great preparation and much
speculation.
Let us digress for a moment and
consider how fortunate It was that
the work was not under direction
of q commission. Suppose, in such
an event, the commissioners had
been unable to decide on a location,
or gotten into dispute over laying
the foundation for the first noun
tains, or had shown favoritism In
purchasing supplies and materials,
or that part of the atmosphere had
disappeared, leaving a shortage Of
air. You and 1 might never have
been here today. What a tragedy.
But there was no commission. so
everything went along very nicely.
The hot globe kept spinning
around on schedule. although 1t spun
so fast that the days were much
shorter than at present, and had
there been any paydays then they
would have come much oftener
than is now the case. However, the

The CurfeW and

~lHE curfew law is being enforced in In
dianapols again. Police authorities
found this necessary as a step toward prevent
ing burglary.
That statement has a peculiar sound but
nevertheless it is true.
The other day two 17-year-old boys con-
fessed to a long series of burglaries and high
way robberies. One of the boys admitted he
had been a burglar and bandit since he was a.
So the police have ordered that all children
under 16 years old must be in their homes by
p. m. In this way they hope to reduce the
number of burglaries and robberies.
Such is the precocity of modern youth

Now government experts tell us that there
are 100000 acres Of A No. l rubber land in
the southern part Of the Philippines The
world S present supply is grown on less than
100000 acres SO, under proper conditions.
there is no sound reason why we cannot ar
range to grow all our own tires for years to
come.
Then why don't we do it? The answer is
it takes money to start rubber plantation
and nobody wants to risk money in a country
whose future is shrouded in mystery and
doubt.
Today nobody can say what the Philip
pines will be tomorrow. They may be abso-
lutely free; or an American dependency; or
possessed of Cuban status or serving out
twenty or thirty-year period waiting to de-
eide their future by plebiscite. Or they may
be free, like Belgium, under international
guarantees. Or something altogether differ

us here in the States, to keep us all dangling

Tax Valuations

TIRE tax valuations facts or theorles2
Al The State tax board has just ordered
various townships and cities to make blanket
increases in the valuation of their taxable
property.
The law contemplates valuation OF all
property at it's actual worth. Then the tax
board comes along, under authority OF the
same law. and makes arbitrary blanket IN
creases.
The question arises: Could local assessors
have been so far wrong in so many cases IN the
valuation of property in their own neighbor-
hoods? 1t hardly seems likely.
Of course, it is true, that so long as valu-
ations are raised or lowered given amount,
and all taxpayers in given unit are treated
alike the individual taxpayer pays no more
under a blanket increase that he would under
the old valuation.
The most important feature, from the
viewpoint of the interested politicians is the
fact that the higher the valuation the lower the
tax rate can be placed and the more the admin
stration in power has to crow about
For instance, tax rate of So per $1,000
of taxable property will raise So on piece OF
property valued at $1,000. By the mere ex-
pedient of valuing the property at $1,000 and
cutting the tax rate to $780, the same amount
is obtained and the politicians have something
to which they can point with pride.
We hear a great deal about low tax rates
nd very little about the amount of money ac-
tually passed through the treasurer window
at the courthouse. 1t IS great system.
