1t is hard to believe that the cleo
irons, atoms and molecules of the sub
stance of which a pencil Is made or
any of the hundreds of articles such
as paper, glass, cloth, wood, etc.,
which we see at rest without motion
are not at rest. Such, however, is the
case. In effect the electrons are
travelling In their orbits about their
nuclei at inconceivable speeds. These
orbits, of course, are so minute that
the movements cannot be seen even by
the most powerful microscopes.
1t Is rather easy to see how even
comparatively large movement can
become almost imperceptible when
afar. A movement of several hun
dred feet at high speed over open
country would be imperceptible to 'an
aviator thousands of feet high. Con.
versely an aeroplane speeding along
at 200 miles an hour hardly seems to
be moving when 1t is at great altt-
tude and viewed from the ground.
If we refer back again to the SINH
larity in organization which exists be-
tween matter and an army, the pic
ture can be made very clear. An army
is considered at rest when 1t is en-
camped In this state of affairs an
army is neither moving forward nor
retreating, but it is far from being in
active or really "at rest" The men

MAKES STUDY
OF CRYSTAL. DETECTOR
Hopes Thereby to Have Better Un-
derstanding of Behavior of
Electrons in Metals.
BY the Associated Press.


ITHACA, n. Y, April 23.-The mys-
terry of the crystal detector now is
being subjected to an intensive study
by Prof. Ernest Merritt, head of the
Cornell physcs department, who be
lieves important results hinge upon
the solution.
Familiar to all radio enthusia SITS,
this simple little device has been
known to physicists for 20 years, but
no one has been able to explain its
action satisfactorily.
Most crystal detectors." said Prof.
Merritt, ARE natural minerals of
rather complicated compositions and
very likely to be impure. In my
study of the subject am trying to
simplify the problem by using ele,
ments which are as nearly as possible
chemically pure. instead of compli.
Gated compounds.
II have found that selenium and
germanium are excellent detectors.
and confidently expect that several
other elements will show similar ac-
ton. The most promising theory of
the crystals action now seems to be
something as follows:
IF current passes from germanium
to a metal contact the electrons must
cross the minute space that separates
the element from the other metal,
and in order to do this the electrons
must be pulled out of the germanium.
"If a current goes the other way
they must be pulled from the other
metal. 1t may be that it is harder to
pull them out of one metal than the
other SD that the current flows more
readily in one direction than in the
other.
the correct one 1t may prove that a
study of this simple little device may
help very materially In giving us a
better understanding of the behavior
of electrons in metals and of the struc-
ture Of crystalline materials"

Easier to take

CHILDREN really need not endure the unpleasant
ness that once inescapable companion of
all castor OIL The tasteless and odorless castor
oil that is available is much easier to take.
Mothers find that children who are given
Squibbs Castor Oil (Tasteless) do not form the
violent dislike of it that the usual oil always
awoke. Without unpleasant taste odor, this
castor oil has become boon to thousands of chill

1t goes without saying that Squibbs Castor Oil
does not sacrifice any beneficial properties in the
special process which eliminates the repellent
taste and odor. Its therapeutic property is re-

The process of removing taste and odor was
developed and perfected in the Squibb Laboratories
in the never-ending search for improvement of all
Squibb Products. Mothers everywhere know that
each Squibb Product they represents the final

That is why intelligent and careful choice of

MANY REASONS OFFERED
FOR VARYING RECEPTION
Sunspots, Temperature Changes
and Increased Number of Radio
Users Among Group.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 23.-The period of
Winter reception, touted in the past
as a paradise for long-distance seek.
ers, has reversed itself. The season,
which closed with the official advent
OF Spring, was marked by listening
hours as erratic as those in the Sum-
mer.
Numerous theories have been ad-
yanced, one of the latest attributing
reception difficulties to sun spots.
However, such things as the aurora
borealis, unstable barometric condi-
tions, quickly rising and falling tenn
peratures and storms, all have taken
a certain part in the discussion.
Scientists explain sun spots as due
to whirling storms upon the sun.
These storms are believed to make
themselves felt upon the earth in the
form of magnetic disturbances,
which show their effect through in
fuence upon the earth's magnetism.
These sun storms continued inter
mittently throughout the Winter, IN
creasing to their greatest intensity al
the time of the international tests in
January. At other times, with the
spots more noticeable than usual, OBJ
servers experienced drop in the
quality of distance radio signals.
Some expert amateurs have Sug
gested that the lack of signals was
entirely due to the increased number
of receivers. An explanation is thai

of energy from the emitted wave
from the transmitter. causing droT

"Kation" and "AniOn" Explained.
Similarly body or matter may
seem at rest, but there is no let-up in
the activity of the electrons and
atoms. Ordinarily this activity~does
not manifest itself electrically because
the positive and negative forces neu-
tralize each other and maintain
perfect electrical balance. 1t is posi-
BILE, however, by various means, such
as the application of high potentials
acr0ss the ends of a conductor, by
friction, etc, to cause an atom. to lose
a negative electron or to cause a mega
tive electror to be added to an atom.
In the first case the loss of a negative
electron causes a preponderance OF
positive electrification in the atom and
| the atom is said to be charged posi-
lively. In the latter cause case the
addition of negative electron causes
the atom to be negatively charged.
When an electron Is added to or re-
moved from an atom it is said to be
| ionized and called an ion. To differ
entiate between positive and negative
electrification the positive jon is called
a "kation" and the negative ion is
called an "ahion.." o..
The seemingly difhcultto under
stand term "ionization" merely means
| the process of adding or removing
negative electron to a normal atom.
Restores Electrical Balance.
Only negative electrons can be added
to or removed from normal atoms. 1t
| follows. then. that atoms which have
lost negative electrons and are there
fore positively charged will attract
negative electrons. If one atom has
an excess of negative electrons and
another has a deficit of negative elec-
irons, then the first Is negatively
| charged. while the other is positively
| charged, and they will attract each
other and tend TO restore the electrical
| balance. In all cases the flow Of cleo
| irons is from the negative to the posi-
| tive, so that the flow of the electron
