papers relating the latest researches
into the secrets of the universe. The re-
firing presidential address was deliv-
cred by DR.. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel
prize winner in physics, his topic be-
ing Atomic Disintegration and Atomic
Synthesis." He took issue with Sir
James Jeans and others as to the
cheat death of the universe, the de-
bated second law of dynamics, and
from his deep study OF the nature OF
cosmic rays ventured the suggestion
that there is as much reason to think
the universe is constantly being re-
built as that it is running down and
doomed to extinction in some millions
of years.
Doctor Millikan was presented by
the new president, Thomas II. Morgan
of the California Institute of Tech
nology, after welcoming speeches by
DR.. Robert e. Vinson, president OF
Western Reserve university, where
many of the meetings were held, and
DR.. William E. Wickenden, president
of the Case School of Applied Science.

Tended the Baldwin Locomotive Works
in Philadelphia suit brought by Lew
Allen, inventor, in connection with
railway gun mounts of the Navy IA

of the demountable automobile rim,
Louis De F. Munger, in a successful
suit against General Motors Corpora
