ConductiOn Through Gases
TOnizafiOn

Several weeks ago l explained the
principle of operation of the Raytheon
tube. The action of the Raytheon
tube as a really efficient rectifier for
use in "B" battery eliminators de.
pends on two important principles.
The first Is that of the conducttvity
of a gas between two electrodes under
the application of high potentials
across the electrodes. The second Is
that Of unilateral conductivity Of a low
pressure gas gap between electrodes
of unequal areas.
The first principle depends on the
conductivity of an ionized gas. The
gas used in such rectifiers Is usually
neon or helium. An atom of helium
at low pressure is a rather simple
structure. 1t consists of a positively
charged nucleus and negative elec-
irons revolving around the positive
nucleus. Ordinarily the positive charge
is neutralized by the negative charges
OF the electrons around it,. 1t Is pos
sible, however, through the applica-
tion of high potential of the order
of 20 or more volts to knock off cleo
irons from the helium atom, thus
leaving deficit of electrons and MAX
ing the atom electrically positive.
When this condition of a deficit of
negative electrons exists, the atom is
said to be "ionized." We then have
the atoms split up into two ions-a
positive ion Katiom, containing the
positive nucleus and some negative
electrons. and the enga i've ion (anion),
which is the electron or electrons
knocked off from the atom.
IOnizatiOn Explained.
Under such circumstances the cleo
t..s,. l.,,. IL.
ions Will be drawn toward the neg
atiVe electrode and the negative ions
will be drawn to the positive electrode
(unlikeS attract This movement of
electrodes results in the flow of cur
rent. The initial ionization is brought
about by the application of the high
potential across the electrodes and by

 This portion of tho story Of the western homispherc's first citizens is included In "Thc Vanishing Ameri- can," filmed by Paramount from the story by Zane Grey on the Navajo Indian reservation 1G5 miles from Il railroad.
 This epic of the American Indian, written in the sincere, direct dram atic manner that characterizcs all of Zane Grcy's works, Is not a tragedy but In it he did not gloss over the tranSgr' sSinns of the white man against the red. George E. Srit2 who was entrusted with tho dircct- ing of the picture has followed the story faithfully, both in letter and spirit.
 The bitter. couragcous, detcrmin- ed but hopeless stand of tho Indians against their white enemies, their retreat from the green fields and well watorcd country they had call cd their homo for centuries into the barren desert wastes is powerful episode of The Vanishing .Amori- can," which is at the Capitol today and Wednesday.
