integration of Body.

In making the announcement, DR.
Kyler said:
'"The cathods ray is so powerful
that, turned on a mouse for frac-
ton of second, it causes the body
to disintegrate-to fall apart, although
it does not seem to char the body"
He explained that the Millikan ray,
discovered by DR.. r. A. Millikan
while he was professor Of physics at
the University of Chicago, was merely
known by scientists to exist, but had
not been controlled.
He said DR.. Coolidge had made his
discovery in connection with his work
on the X-ray tube. He had found the
new ray within the tube and long
had been engaged in an effort to
extract it from the X-ray tube, which
he had finally accomplished.

Todays proceedings were concerned
merely with the formalities Of the
opening. Prior to the Downing Street
meeting all attended an impressive
ceremony in Westminster Abbey, at
which the Prince Of Wales unveiled a
tablet to the memory of the million
men Of the empire who lost their lives
in the World War
The days program was arranged to
conclude with a great state dinner In
Lancaster House, with Premier Bald
win presiding.
The conference is the first to be held
in three years, and many questions are
on the agenda, including the usual
problems Of trade, immigration, de-
fense and communications arising
out of the growth of the empire.
The outstanding question, however,
is the treatymaking status Of the
dominions in foreign affairs.
The Locarno security pact, with
Great Britain as one of the sigma
tories, brought a new departure in
British diplomacy, separating England
from her dominions by a treaty for
the first time in history.
