WATERLOO

ON June Is, 1915, the battle of
~ Waterloo, the decisive engage
ment which finally ended the power
of Napoleon, was fought in Belgium
about twelve miles south of Brussels.
Just a year before, Napoleon had
abdicated as king France and was
sent into retirement as ruler of
the little Isle of Elba in the
Mediterranean
He escaped, however, gathered up
an army and determined to become
emperor of France once more. He
made the best preparation possible,
gathering a force of about 100000
men.
Opposed to him were the Eng
lish, Dutch, Belgian and Hano-
verian forces, with those of Bruins
wick and Nassau, all commanded
by the Duke Of Wellington, and
those of Prussia, Saxony, and other
smaller German states under the
veteran Butcher.
The French, first to strike, made
five successive attacks. The allies
failed to bulge. Then Napoleon
knowing that the decisive hour had
come, sent forward his Old Guard,
whose motto was THE Old Guard
dies, but never surrenders."
Napoleon was not at the head Of
his men, but in their midst when
Wellington swept them of the field.
Retreating to Paris, Napoleon de-
cided to cast himself on the
generosity of the British govern
ment.
Ultimately, he was sent to st.
Helena. a lonely island 500 miles OF
the coast Of Africa, where he died.

insult Applies CruSher

TUAVING been invited to address
i Il the world power conference in
session at Berlin, Mr.. Sackett, our
ambassador to Germany, wrote out
a nice little speech in which he said
some unkind things relative to the
consumer cost of electricity as COM
pared to the production cost, and he
not only wrote it out, but had his
secretary distribute advance copies
to the press.
Then Samuel insult came to town
and had a conference with the
ambassador for some two hours,
after which the advance copies were
withdrawn and the speech modified.
1t is possible, of course, that the
ambassador merely was mistaken
and that the power magnate merely
showed him the error Of his ways.
But having been president of the
gas company and of lighting COM
pany, the chances are that he knew
what he was talking about
1t is fortunate that Mr.. insult
found nothing to quarrel about in
the address which Albert Einstein
delivered before the same con-
ference, because, if he had, he prob
ably would have found a way to
change it.

Perhaps a KinSnan

IONE of my relatives informed me
~ a little while back that if I
would only take the trouble I could
prove my descent from John Hey
wood, the English playwright of the
sixteenth century. I haven't sue
ceeded yet. In fact, I haven't taken
the trouble because, first of all, I
wanted to find out whether it would
be a good thing for either of us to
be related.
Whatever a genealogical research
may turn up I am convinced that
there is at least certain spiritual
kindship between us. At least, John
Haywood seems to have been at
heart a colurnnist for find that he
wrote a book called 1.-THE Spider and
the Flyt in 1856, and this book has
no less than seventy seven chapters.
At the beginning of every chapter
there is picture of John Haywood.
And this H ;ywood of the six
tenth century seems to have had
no mean opinion of himself for once
when he came to court, the queen
asked him what brought him there
and he replied that he was Blown
by two winds and one was TO see
your majesty" What was the
other?" asked the queen.
1.-THE other" said Haywood, twas
that your majesty might see me"
And my namesake seems to have
had views on prohibition which es-
tab,.sh the blood bond between us.
It is recorded of him that: Dining

Diamond

THIS almost unbelievable regu-
l. larity of nature is one of the
astounding facts revealed by Bragg's
researches.
Mature arranges her atoms in
regular order in millions of mil
lions, and the combined effect is
big enough to affect our instru-
ments," Bragg said.
1T is just as when the wind turns
over all the leaves of the poplar
tree at the same moment and the
whole tree appears siivery grey,
and so we learn what we could not
have observed for the behavior
Of a single leaf.
"a more exact analogy is found
in certain coIorationS of nature, in
the hue of butterflies, for example,
where a regular assemblage of fine
scales make for color, though each
scale is too minute to be visible.
1--WE see, for example, the atoms
of carbon in the diamond and their
perfect alignment according to a
simple plan which gives every atom
four other atoms as neighhors equal
ly and regularly Spaeed about the
first. We begin to understand how
the design gives the diamond its
unique hardness.
1--WE see the carbon atoms rear
ranging themselves according to a
new plan to make the soft and
slinperv graphite.
I'VE see the atoms of oxygen,
which far exceed all others in num-
Der. drawn up in regular order like
pile of shot to ft m the structure
of most of the earth, and held to-
eether by atoms of silicon, nlagne-
SUM, aluminium, and so forth.
THE beautiful forms of the cry
stalls of snow and ice are observed
TO be derived from the underlying
and particular arrangement of the
oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
I'VE began to understand the de-
tails of construction of those long
chains of certain atoms which are
of such tremendous importance in

SCIENCE
X-Ray Can Show Us Details
Which Are Far Finer Than
Light Can Sho1U Us.
BY DAVID DIETZ

Eyes keener than human eyes
II have been supplied mankind by
the X-rayS. When Rontgen, just
before the start of the twentieth
century. announced the discovery OF
these mysterious rays, the world was
electrified.
Here were powerful rays which
would penetrate matter, photo
graphing coins through the leather
Of purse, or the bones within a
persons hand. Medical science was
quick to see the advantages Of these
mysterious rays.
With the passage of time medi-
cal men also have learned to know
the power of these rays, powers
which were revealed by martyrs who
burned themselves seriously in the
early days of X-ray experimentation.
x-rays are used today in the treat
ment of certain types Of cancer and
N certain other diseases.
But the most astounding devel-
opment of all has been the use of
the X-ray as a means of penetrat-
ing the interior structure of matter
to study the formation of molecules
and atoms.
The pioneer in this study was the
famous British physicist, Sir Will
liam Bragg, now a visitor in this
country. In recent address Bragg
told how X-rays have supplemented
human vision, penetrating a region
OF objects so minute that ordinary
light waves are too large to reveal
the details.
Consisting of ether waves, in the
same sense that light so consists,
but being some 10000 times shorter,
X-rays can take note of details
which are far finer than light can
show u.s. Bragg said.

Coast Cities Cut Diphtheria Rate

The highest rate for any group
of cities in the country is that of
the east north central cities, of
which only one, Cincinnati, has
shown a continuous decline since
1890.
The rate for Nashville, Tenn,
was higher for the last five years
than for the previous fifteen years
All cities in the west north central
states, including Duluth, Kansas
City, DeS Moines, st. Paul, Omaha,
st. Louis and Minneapolis. had lower
rates for 1929 than for 1923, and also
lower rates for the last f1ve-year
period than for the previous one.
The rate for San Francisco is
lower than that for Los Angeles or
San Diego, and Seattle, which has
always had low mortality rate
and good health conditions, had the
third lowest rate in the country in
1929 and the lowest average for the
last five years of any of the eighty
one cities of more than 100000
population.

cially needed in Lynn, Fall River
and Springfield, since these cities
have not kept pace with other cities
in the New England states,
Newark, N. j., is the only city
in the middle Atlantic group that
had a higher rate for the period
1925-1929 than the period 1920
1924. The finest improvement was
made in Syracuse, Erie, Reading
and Buffalo among the middle At
lantic cities.
Camden, N. j., has been at or
near the bottom of the list for a
long time and it is recommended
by the Journal that this city par
ticularly request a systematic anti
diphtheria campaign.
Among the South Atlantic cities,
Baltimore made new low record
for 1929, as did also Atlanta. The
South Atlantic group has the low
est average diphtheria rate in the
country, with the exception OF the
rate for the mountain and Pacific
cities.

Regularity
THIS world of the very minute

.THIS world of the very minute is
\ a very important one and the
facts now coming to light in it are
proving Of immense Importance to
chemists, engineers, and metallur-
gists.
ut is very important to realize
that minuteress does not mean in
significance or want of relation to
ourselves" Bragg said.
1.-THE world which X-rays can por-
tray is as full of richness and va
riety, movement and interest as that
which We see normally.
1T is true that our eyes see none
of it, and so it is not associated
with the ideas of beauty in form
and colors. We can not thought
lessly take pleasure in it, as we may
in the other. We must grasp what
the X-lays tell us by means of deli
cate and complicated scientific
methods, and our admiration and
interest are of the mind only.
What sort of things do We now
perceive? We see, if I may use the
word in a broad sense, that ar
rangement of atoms and molecules
in the solid body, of which we have
heen so eager to obtain knowledge
1--WE stand in front of natures
architecture and examine her use
of the elements in her construction
And here must speak of a very
important matter. We should still
be unsuccessful did we not avail
ourselves of one Of natures most
remarkable characteristics, one
which we have not indeed fully ap-
preciated until now. 1t is her ex-
traordinary tendency to regularity
and order.
1.-The effect of single atom upon
x-rays is far too small to detect.
The effect is there, as it would not
be with visible liqht, but it is in
sufficient in quantity"

Chamberlain Not Sold

CIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN is
- not entirely sold on the naval
treaty, as he tells the United Press
in an exclusive interview.
In his opinion, the idea of parity
and proportion plays too big part
in it.
One government can not be bound
by what another is permitted to do,
he thinks, without setting the stage
for spying, pickering, and the de-
velopment of general distrust.
Such a view is plausible only be-
cause it ignores the fact that there
was more spying, more pickering,
and more distrusS under the old
free for-all regime.
Treaty or no treaty, each nation
builds it's battle fleet with an eye to
what other nations are doing.

Delay Might Help

DOSSIBLY, we are going too fast
L in an effort to limit arms by
agreement.
Possibly it would be better to wait
until the thought that orderly adj
justment can be substituted for the
arbitrament Of force has taken
deeper root.
Possibly we are asking too much
of a generation which has been
trained to diplomatic intrigue and
the use Of bullets.
But when all is said and done,
no peace pact, no naval treaty, no
commitment to try different meth
cd, leaves us worse off than we

Falls Pension

Albert B. Fall wants pension from the govern
ment-S72 month for Spanish American service.
The pension bureau says he apparently is eligible.
We hope he gets it.
We can't see any connection between that and the
fact that he has been sentenced properly to year
in prison and fined 100000 for accepting Doheny
oil bride while secretary of the interior.
Now he is an old man, broken, ill and poor What
ever he has done, revenge is not part of justice.
Because he betrayed the government does not justify
the government in taking unfair advantage of him.

TIME Journal of the American
L Medical Association just has
made available its seventh annual
report of deaths from diphtheria
in the large cities of the United
States.
Today the diphtheria rate may
be considered a measure of the way
in which the community is apply
ing the knowledge that science has
provided relative to the diagnosis
and prevention of this disease.
It is significant fact that seven
of the twelve cities in New England
with population of more than 100.-
600 had lower diphtheria rates in
1929 than in 1928, New Haven and
Cambridge making particularly good
showings. Moreover, rates in Hart
ford and in Bridgeport were greatly
improved over those of the previous
year.

VITALITY IS Low
AMONG WORKERS
At FOUR O'CLOCK
Fatigue During This Zero
Hour Can be Overcome by
Sugar

Finishing the days work dead
tired" is neither wise nor necessary.
Everybody knows that a fatigued
system is readily susceptible to the
common ills. To maintain vitality
during the last half of the day is
therefore essential, not only for the
sake Of health but efficient work.
One Of the simplest ways to com
bat fatigue ID eating = food OF
drinking a beverage that contains
refined sugar. Candy, ice cream,
cookies and cakes are ideal in this
respect. Best Of al, they can be
bought readily and cheaply every
where.
Medical men have made many ex-
periments with workers and sugar
foods in mid-afternoon and have
found the results most satisfactory.
The sugar quickly nourishes the
body without taxing the digestive
system. When the body is n0uriAhed
in this way, fatigue disappears.
Such sweet snacks as those pre-
viousIy mentioned can BE- kept in
ones desk and eaten while at work.
For = sweet beverage, a glass Of
water containing sugar -~ the
athletes cocktail - is most in
vigorating. Many famous athletes
drink this prior to a hard game.
Most foods are more delicious with
refined sugar. The Sugar Institute.

15-YEAR JOB

fifteen years will be required to
analyse completely the startling
discoveries made in the pictures
taken Of the SUMS eclipse last
week by the Naval observatory's

cific Ocean.
This was announced yesterday
when Capt. Julius r. Hellweg.
Superintendent of the Naval OBJ

dispatch from c. H. j. Keppler,
head of the expedition.
The message states that nine
plates from the 63.foot camera
show exceptional beauty, detail,
and new discoveries in coroniun1
lines visible in the spectra. The
pictures also show violent motions
In the corona with disturbances
that can be traced TO heights Of
900 miles above the suns sur
face.
Similar phenomena have never
been observed before. The mes
sage adds that members of the
expedition are highly gratified
with results Of their work.
