Rutherford suggested that every atom consisted of
miniature solar system and that the positive cleo
ucity was concentrated in nucleus which took the
place Of the sun in this miniature solar system.
The negative electrons then could be compared to
the earth and other planets which revove around the
For this these negative electronS were
frequently called planetary electrons
There was some doubt, however. as to the exact
arrangement and behavior Of these planetary cleo
irons
Ono theory to account for their arrangement was
suggested by two American scientists DR.. Irving
Langnuir and DR.. G.. N. Lewis.
This theory became known the Langmuir
theory
According to this theory, the electrons were ar
ranged around the nucleus in concentric Shells Each
electron situated in definite place in its she'll
The electrons supposed to be in vibration but
not supposed to sufficiently to destroy the
general confguration of the atom.
This theory worked very nicely means of eX-
planning the reactions which go in chemistry. For
that reason, the Langmuir Lewis theory of the atom
came to be known as the chemists atom"
But physicists found it deficient. 1t did not explain
satisfactorily the emission of light from heated bodies
the origin of X-rays and many other phenomena with
which the physicist must deal
A theory which physicists found more satisfactory
was worked out by Dr. Neils Bohr of Copenhagen In

Crime in Chicago

Defending Chicago as laW-abiding community
States Attorney Grove makes the proud boast that
of every hundred criminal cases tried in Cook County
there is an average Of sixty-flye convictions
The figures look fair enough, if you don't put on
your specs and look bit further An old recipe for
cooking rabbit said, First catch your rabbit" And
before you try a criminal in Cook County or any
where else, you have to catch him. So the number
of criminals caught and tried doesn't give the real
picture of crime and punishment in Chicago
One trouble there is that SO few criminals are in
dicted, caught and tried States Attorney Grove
hasn't even caught the murderer of his assistant Nc
c5Wggen, who was machine gunned into the here

the Knight and his Yeoman and

they love a lusty story, and bear with

Political RottenneSS

The Democrats do not have to de-
pend on the oil and slush fund
scandals for an argument. They
can find rottennesS about anywhere
they look.
The Oil scandal persists, however,
even if the fire which Senator Reed
kindled under Ware and Frank
L. Smith does seem TO be dying
down.
Two more great names were
brought into it by former Secretary
Fall when he said he wrote THAI
false letter stating he had received
100000 from Edward b. Mclean
because Senator Smoot of Utah, ana
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, ad-
vised him to do so.
Both Smoot and Lenroot deny
this They declare that they adj
viscd Fall to tell the truth about
where he got the money, and sup-
posed he was telling the truth when
ne said he got it from Mclean.
All things considered, their word
should be taken in preference to
his.

Crime and Youth

On Monday three youths were
sentenced to death al Brooklyn,
while a fourth was given from ten
to twenty years in Sing Sing. They
we're members of what New York
calls the pants gang" and we're
convicted of killing a policeman.
The oldest was only 80, while the
youngest was II.
On Sunday a girl and three
youths we're arraigned at Mineola,
l.. T., as the bandits who locked
four employees in the icc-box OF
store at Lynnbrook two weeks ago
and stole $3.50 The girl and one
of the boys are only Is, while the
other two are 16 and 10, respec-
lively.
Last Saturday night the "petting
party" bandit was shot to death hy
San Francisco policeman. He
turned out to be boy of 10. His
mother says she does not blame the
policeman, but the latter says over
and over again, It would not have
shot to kill if I had known he was

"a Radiant Nordic Amazon

And we begin to understand why it is that
poet or musician run rings about any other
young man in the business of courtship.
Percy Granger, well-known American pianist, is
engaged to a Swedish girl Miss Ella Poa Strom.
Asked to describe her he declared she is radiant
Nordic Amazon as beautiful as the morning
SO there. When a man can use phrases like that
to describe his beloved what chance has the ordinary
man got? Many girl would rather have man who
could talk that way than less articuate fellow who
had a six figure bank account

Party Dirt in Chicago

Quarreling as TO which gang
should break the law in Chicago
gives place to quarreling as to which
faction should enforce it.
With the city's police out hunting
Federal dry agents and with Federal
dry agents out hunting the city ed
ministrations pet gang leadersS it
looks as though constituted author
ity had about come to an end.
Like the petty graft which sur
rounds Federal patronage in the
South this is another case in which
the Republican party hesitates to
clear up its own dirt.
Mayor William Hale Thompson
and the machine he represents are
abhorrent to every decent Repub-
lican leader from President Coolidge
down, but the mayor and his crowd
carry around just so many votes in
their vest pockets which is factor
not to be lightly disrcgarded.

Petty Graft in South

No one familiar with political
conditions in the south doubt that
lot of petty graft, is tolerated. if not
connived at, by Republican leaders.
Federal patronage in that section
Of the country has become a verita-
BILE trough, to which others besides
those actually holding Office look
for their proyender
There is more than one Repub-
lican politician in the South who
could not put his feet under the
table three times a day, much less
drive around IN high-powered
car, without some invisible means
of support.
Delivery of so many delegates to
the right candidate at the right time
explains why Northern Republican
leaders hesitate to interfere with
the game.
