To us commoners the actions OF

SCIENCE
English Scientists, Father
and Son, Haze Perfected q
Method to Use X-Rdys IN
the Study of Atoms and
Molecules.
BY DAVID DIETZ

lnNE of the worlds greatest
~ scientists is guest in the
United States. He is Sir william
Bragg, director of the Royal Insti-
tuition Of Great Britain.
Bragg recently was given the
gold medal of the Franklin Insti-
tute of Philadelphia. He is to make
addresses, while in this country, at
Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
Bragg and his son, Prof. w. l..
Bragg, have devoted their lives to
the study of X-rays. In that study,
they did pioneer work of the first
magnitude, perfecting a method by
which X-rays could be used as an
instrument of research into the
structure of molecules.
The microscope has a limit which
is dictated chiefly by the wave
length of visible light. 1t is obvious
that the microscope can not reveal
details smaller than the length of
ray of light.
A certain excursion into this field
of the ultra-small can be made with
a special type of microscope en-
ploying ultraviolet light instead of
visible light.
X-rays, however, are still shorter
than ultraviolet light. They are
short enough to penetrate matter,
finding their way between the atoms
and molecules.
The BraggS perfected method to
utilize X-rays in the study of atoms
and molecules.

TIME, so it seems, hangs heavy
l. upon the hands of social lead
ers. At any rate Mrs. Ruth G. K.
Strawbridge has taken to writing
letters again. Mrs. Strawbridge, you
may remember as the lady from
Philadelphia who went to Washing
ton some months ago to inform a
senate committee that prohibition
could be solved if only persons in
the Social Register would refrain
from serving cocktails.
The announcement of this novel
idea put Mrs. Strawbridge on the
front page. After resting on her
laurels for a little while she has
decided to venture forth again, and
in her quiet and genteel way she
has begun sending several thousand
letters to the better people here in
New York.
Her communication, I am in
formed. reads in part as follows:
MRS. STRAWBRIDGE TAKES
PEN IN HAND.
my Dear Mrs.
"I am taking the liberty of adj
dressing myself to you as a repre-
sentative New York woman to in
ouire quite conf1dentially whether
in your judgment it would be posi-
BILE to constitute a committee OF
women of your own standing in the
social world who would interest
themselves in creating sentiment for
the observance of the prohibition
law within their own circles.
There has no doubt recently come
to your attention the noticeable ex-
ample set by Mrs. Edward B. Nc
Lean of Washington in this re-
spect. I am sending you herewith
a photostat copy of the newspaper
article which was published about
Mrs. McLean's Easter breakfast
party.
ct have every reason to believe
that her courage in making this
innovation in washington society
met with the hearty approval OF
President Hoover and Of others like
himself, who are trying to inculcate
in our people at this time more
lively sense of their individual OBJ
legations as American citizens.
my thought is simply that II peo-
pie whose wealth and position clothe
them with the power Of example can
be Of inestimable aid to the Presl-
dent in carrying out his program
for law enforcement by the people
themselves. P. 81 sent this let
ter to 1000 important families IN

Just a FantaSy
Ruth:

~ Thanks for reminding me
about the law and the duties of lis
social leaders. 1t is so kind of you
to think of John (Poodles) j. and
myself as important. I did see the
newspaper account of the boozelesS
breakfast.
"At least, my secretary called my
attention to the article and the pic
lures buried away there on the
front page. I hope you agree with
me that it was a vulgar display Of
passion for publicity.
can older woman like yourself
probably can remember back to a
day when we important people did
not think it necessary to call up all
the local city editors at such times
as we decided not to take a drink.
There was a day when even social
leaders regarded that and similar
subjects as strictly their own bust
ness.
Incidentally, my dear, want to
make suggestion to you, and I
trust you will receive it in the same
spirit in which received yours.
Where in heavens name do you get
your scrapple? I was talking it over
with one of the Biddies only last
week and we both agreed that some
body ought to have the courage to
tell you about it.
"of course, maybe it isn't the
scrapple itself. It could be your
cook. Several of us have been
meaning to speak to you about her.

Lace

ELECTRONS, the fundamental
H particles of matter, form the 90
different kinds Of atoms composing
the 90 chemical elements. These
atoms combine with one another in
various ways to form the various
chemical compounds.
But Bragg has shown us that we
must take notice Of one more step
in natures plan of organization.
Molecules unite with one another to
form crystals.
A small number of molecules, two
or three as rule, unite to form
pattern. This pattern is repeated
time and time again to form the
crystals.
Braggs has compared crystals to
lace work of three dimensions. He
points out that this crystal structure
Of most things was overlooked in the
past because the crystals are very
small and thrown together in such
heller SHELTER fashion that their ex-
istence is missed when matter is
studied in the gross.
Bragg'S work already is finding
applications in industry. It is real
lied that the properties. of many
alloys depend upon the kind of
crystals formed their shape and
size, and the way they are thrown
together in the alloy.
1t is realized that such properties
as weight, tensile strength, electrical
conductivity, elasticity and others,
can be explained in this fashion.
Consequently with the passage of
years, the work of Sir William Bragg
and his son will become of greater
and greater Importance to the
world.

The life of the man is an in

Owe to Past Generations


TTENRY FORD says that we owe
L i much Of our prosperity to the
inventions of Edison, but to what
or to whom does Edison owe his
inventions?
How could he have produced an
electric light, a graphophone, or a
motion picture machine If thou
sands of men had not prepared the
way?
Much as individual genius has
done for this age, accumulated
knowledge has done more, because
accumulated knowledge makes it
possible for genius to start on
high level.
After 100 years of virtually unin-
terrupted conflict, Greece and Tur-
key sign peace pact.
Since one thing leads to another,
it is not surprising that this should
be followed by the suggestion for a
Balkan federation.
If the League of Nations needs
United States of Europe, it is posi-
BILE that a United States of Europe
needs a Balkan union.
With Carol on the throne Of
Rumania, however, and with France
angling for Yugoslavia's goodwill
in her tussle with Mussolini, the
present situation does not seem en-
tirely suspicious.

Keep Firm, Princess

CPEAKING of Carol, whose own
- carices are equaled only by
those Of inscrutable fate, and whose
present popularity with the people
warrants doubt as to whether some
countries are quite ready for
democratic rule, there still is one
shining light of steadfastness amid
the whimsical swirl Of events which
landed him back in power, and that
is the Princess Helene.
So the episode may not be en-
tirely without a moral. Let us hope
that she sticks by her first impulse
and continues to turn him down.

CRYSTALS
THE method perfected by tn

THE method perfected by the
Il Braggs is known as crystal
analysis by x-rays.
Perhaps the chief point of interest
in the study has been the realization
of the Importance of crystals in
nature.
Nature, as Bragg points out, tries
to build everything into crystals. His
work even has revealed the exist
ence of crystals in liquids.
Scientists long have been i'm
pressed by mineral crystals. Every
one knows that crystals are objects
of great beauty and sometimes of
great value-precious stones, for ex-
ample.
But scientists were impressed by
the properties of crystals, for ex-
ample, their effect on light waves.
With the advance of atomic
theory, it occurred to scientists that
the regularity of crystal structure
might extend down to the atoms
themselves and be due 10 a regular
pattern of atomic arrangement.
A German scientist, Laue, showed
that when beam of x-rays was
shot through crystal and allowed
to fail upon Photographic plate, a
pattern of light and dark spots ap-
peared upon the plate. This pat
tern, it was shown, depended upon
arrangement of the atoms in the
crystal.
Bragg developed a method in
which the beam of X-rays was
reflected from the face of crystal.
He showed how the angle OF ref1ec-
ton was dependent upon the loca-
ton of the atoms and the distances
between them. Consequently, it is
possible to measure the exact po-
sition of the atoms of a crystal by
the Bragg method.

Much as Individual Genius
Has Done for This Age, Ac-
cumulated Knowledge Has
Done More.
SAYS:

A CCORDING to a decision just
IA handed down by Judge James
w. Renick, arbiter of war claims,
the United States must pay German
owners $74,00o,000 for the ninety
four ships seized during the war.
OF this amount, $13,620, 900 will be
for the Leviathan, formerly the Va
terland.
After ten years of wrestling with
the reparations problem, nine coun-
tries agree to form a world bank
for Germany's benefit. Six of the
nine countries were her enemies.
The bank will be capitalized at
$500, 900 900, of which the United
States is expected to contribute
nearly one-third, and of which Ger
many will be given one-third as a
direct loan.
Such incidents make us wonder
as to who won the war.

To read the thunderous editorials
appearing in about every paper, you
would think that Chicago had dis
covered something, but she hasn't.
She merely found a dead reporter
where she found a dead district at
torney five years ago. and where she
found 200 or 300 lesser lights be-
tween whites.
Gangland is no more of a chal-
lenge to the Windy City now than it
has been for decade. The only
question this latest uproar raises is
whether Chicago means business or
whether she merely is talking to
make herself and others believe that
the rum-runners and racketeers
haven't acquired a Stranglehold on
civic authority.
