But in ways, the details of
which there is not room here to
explain, electrons may escape
from an atom by leaving an
outer orbit, or shell: and also
electrons may be added. When
an atom has its proper number

is electrically neutral. BY losing

The impulses that produce the

Maurice Samuel Addresses Zionists
at Community Center.

Under the auspices Of the Washing
ton Zionist district, Maurice Samuel,
the author, spoke last night TO a large
audience in the Jewish Community
Center, citing the progress the Jews
have made in the past 10 years in the
rebuilding of Palestine. The meeting
was held as a celebration of the tenth
anniversary of the Balfour declara-
ton, which gave the administration of
the Holy Land to the Jewish people,
under the supervision of Great Britain.
Mr. Samuel said that in the last dec
ade the Zionist organization had spent
s3S, 900 900 on upbuilding Palestine
and increased the number of Jews
there from a little over $4,000 to 160,-
900. He stated that either Palestine
would be built by the Jews or it would
never be built. However, he expressed
his opinion that If the Zionist organi-
zation would continue it's work as it
has done in the past 10 years that
Palestine should continue to prosper.

ARMY MEDICAL UNIT
HELD INADEQUATE
Gen. Ireland Sees Urgent Need for
Immediate Increase in
Corps Personnel.
Rv the Assnciated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Increases in Army medical person
mel are again urged by Maj. Gen. M. w.
Ireland surgeon general, in his an
nual report, which declares training
activities must suffer unless the in
creases are granted.
The scope Of training as a prepared
ness measure is modest" Gen. Ire
land said, yet the Medical Department
would be reduced to attending to the
sick and wounded of peace times only,
ito the entire exclusion of major ma
tional defense objectives, If there
were not further authorization of per-
sonnel.
Such contingency Is probable in
the near future" the report said, add
fined strictly to peace-time work lis
certainly not desirable.
Expansion of the Air Corps, now in
progress, demanded additional flight
surgeons, and these could not be sup
piled under existing conditions, Gen.
Ireland said in pointing out increasing
demands upon medical personnel.
The report disclosed the lowest
death rate due to air accidents since
1917. Of 522 deaths in the Army dur
ing the year, those due to air acci-
dents numbered %, making a rate of
n per 900, as compared to .04 in
1917 per 900. There We're 3S air
deaths in 1925, 80 in 1924 and 33 in
1928, the report said. while for the
year covered by the report the %
deaths from air accidents compared
with SO due to accidental drowning
and % resulting from automobile ac-
cidents.
Hospital admission rates for dis
ease for the year in question increa sed
slightly over the preceding year, due
to an influenza epidemic in the early
months.
