Those COsmic Rays
By Archibald Henderson, Phi. d., LII. D.

NEW problems concerning the
~ nature and mechanism of
the outer realms Of space have
been raised in recent years by
the discovery of what are
known as cosmic rays. This
radiation penetrates the outer
atmosphere of the earth; and is
believed, with little chance of
doubt, to emanate from the
great spiral nebulae. It is
now regarded as the most
fundamental physical phe-
nomenon of the universe. It is
at work. with tremendous force,
all the time. So powerful has
il been discovered to be that it
breaks up several millions
atoms in each of our bodies
every second. While the hard
est terrestrial radiation pene-
trates only few inches Of lead,
the cosnlC radiation penetrates
as much as ITS to 100 inches
of lead. The voltage of the
COSrnlC rays Is hundreds OF
times the voltage of the hard
est terrestrial rays.
One of the questions which
naturally arises is: Is there not
danger of this radiation grad
ually increasing until it be-
comes insupportable and so
destroys all life?
Calculation shows that the
capacity of space for radiation
is practically infinite. The uni
verse will not become saturated
with radiation until it's tenn
perature has been raised seven
tr1lllon five hundred billion de-
Erees-which would require the
dissolution Of many, many
times a universe the size of
ours.

EMERGENCY CREWS
FIGHT LEVEE BREAK
Clear Weather Cheers Home
less Fearing Further Red
River Rise.

ALEXANDRIA, La, May 31.-With
several thousand persons already suf-
fering from effects of a food, emergency
crews fought today to keep the Red
River from washing over valuable farm
lands and homes on the outskirts OF
this city.
The danger spot was at the Junction
Of Bayou Rapides and Saline Bayou,
near Lamonthe. A crevasse Is feet wide
and feet deep was washed out and 1t
was feared another break would over
flow homes and cultivated acres.
Workers drove piling and heaped
sandbags in the opening today in the
belief that If the weak place could be
held for another AZ hours the danger
would be past. Continuance of clear
weather was expected to aid materially.
The several thousand flood sufferers
were scattered along the Red River,
Natchitoches and Grant Parishes. Red
Cross officials said response to appeals
for aid was heartening, but that unless
food was provided Immediately many
would suffer from hunger.
In an appeal yesterday James l..
Fisher, national director of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in Washington, said that
crops were completely DESTROYED" and
that IAN extensive farm rehabilitation
program" was necessary.
The Red River stage as last recorded
here was 1873 feet, or 2.6 feet above
Hood level, with q predicted stage of
1871 feet between June and 3.

stoical and weakened after holding her
redoubtable opponent even through the
first four games of the match.

HOOVER OUT EARLY
TO WHIP STREAMS
President Greatly Refreshed
After Long Ride and Strain
of Gettysburg Speech.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.


WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, May 31.-At-
tired in old, rough clothes, rubber boots
buckled high above the knee, and
SLOUGH hat pulled we'll down in front,
President Hoover today is fishing for
trout in Larrys Greek, upon the pri-
vate estate of Jay Cooke, 3rd, of Phila-
delphia, which is located in a wild
picturesque section about 20 miles from
here.
Mr.. Hoover rose earlier than his usual
custom and almost Immediately after
breakfast he and his host and the
others of the week end fishing party
were out whipping the stream.
! the Presidents face was bearning in
smiles as he headed for the fishing
ground. He appeared greatly refreshed
after the long, hard ride from Wash
ington, and the strain of making the
grafton yesterday afternoon at the
Memorial day ceremonies in the Ma
tional Cemetery on the Gettysburg bat
tlefield, The speech upon this occasion
was not lengthy one, but it was totally
unlike. in its nature, anything he has
uttered since entering Office. Moreover,
he spoke with more than ordinary feel
ing, making it plainly evident that he
was deeply impressed with his hallowed
and historic surroundings and the spirit
OF the occasion.
Conscious Of HalIowed Spot.
The rostrum upon which he stood as
he delivered this address, was only
short distance from the spot where
Abraham Lincoln delivered his i'm
mortal Gettysburg address in Novem-
Der, 1868, dedicating that national
cemetery, and Mr.. Hoover seemed very
conscious of this fact.
More than 1000 persons were as
sembled to see and hear the President.
Amplifiers made 1t possible for those
who were not close to the rostrum to
catch every word. Besides that, a radio
hook-up carried the ceremonies into
many thousands of homes throughout
the country. The sun was shining
brightly throughout the services The
scene was serene and colorful one
when the President concluded he was
greeted with q great outburst of ap-
plause.
Since then the President has received
no end Of praise for his remarks. Con-
gratulatory messages were wired to the
Cooke camp from far distant points.
Mr.. Hoover purposely avoided discus
sion OF the problems of Government or
the issues of the day. There was no
mistaking the fact that he received
his inspiration for his address from
Lincoln's address and from the char
acter and ideals OF the martyred
President.
Asks Emulation Of Lincoln.
He seemed to invoke the spirit of
Lincoln and asked his fellow country
men to emulate Lincoln's patience,
vision, humility and courage in their
strivings for a life filled with the 10y
of creative effort.
While on the scene Of that decisive
battle Of the Civil War, which is TODAY
a quiet sanctuary of heroic dead, he
reminded the people Of this nation that
they will do well to follow the counsels
OF Lincoln and to ponder over his
precious wealth Of contributions to
government and mankind. In this con-
