Coarse yarn gray cloth markets

HARVARD DROPS
PRIZE AWARDS
FOR ADS
Income From Box Fund So Cut
BY Corporation Earnings
Loss That Halt Is Called
Bv LEWIS HANEY

Director, New York University's Bu-
reau of Business Research and
Former Economist of Federal Trade
Commission
One of the most striking indi-
cations of changed business condi-
tions that I have seen is the
recent notice that Harvard Uni
versity will discontinue prizes for
the best advertising.
Back in 1928, E. W. Box, the
publisher, established a fund to
provide awards for the best ad-
vertising. Such awards have been
made regularly in recent years.
Why stop them?
The answer is brief but to the
point. A reduction in income
suffered by the fund established
for the awards.
Effect Widespread
This action suggests, first, the
widespread effects of the re-
duced incomes from investments
All this cutting or passing of divi.
dends is beginning to hurt.
Not only are hundreds of thou.
sands, perhaps millions, of invest.
ors missing the dividend check,
but also many institutions are
feeling the pinch. Like the Box
fund, they may be driven to limit
operations.
Among them we might find
some insurance companies, and a
good many universities, to say
nothing of such corporations as
Du Pont and Union Pacific.
In fact, many companies which
put their large .accumulations of
surplus cash into "investments, y
now find that item in their bal
ance sheets cut in half, or worse,
and their income from invest.
mentS nearing the vanishing point
Some Losses Just Paper
Just as paper profits produced
a feeling of exhilaration and
freer spending, SO these huge
paper losses are now causing
mental depression and economy
On the other hand, we may
we'll remember that not all com,
panies have reduced dividends
Moreover, many inves m e n t
stocks were bought years ago,
Present quotations, in such cases,
are much the same as cost, while
in the meanwhile stock dividends,
rights, etc, may have come to
the original purchasers.

In the Face of Unfold Danger to Themselves,
Scientists NozO Are Playing Vim Electric
Current That Produces NeeU Super X-Rays
Nearly as PogOertul as Radium Radiations
Probing the Secrets Of fHealH and Matter:

The three kinds Of radum radiations have
been chriStened with the Greek leater names,
alpha. beta and gamma. Alpha rays are mace
1p Of hearts of helium atoms, positively charged,
rushing along at high speed Beta rays are
electrons that are speeded up. These can be
thought of as gobs of negative electricity,
WeightleSS, but the very essence OF matter.
Gamma rays given on by radium are not
particles at all, but true waves like radio, light
or x-rays. They natures X-rays, with
shorter wavelength5. higher frequencies and
more penetration into solid matter than the
ordinary X-rays used by physicians and scien-
fists The super X-ray tubes, in effect,
create synthetic gamma rays
Others have been In this high voltage race.
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Tuve;s measure
ment Of the speed OF his beta rays and the
penetrating power Of his gamma rays, there
came from Berlin announcement Of similar
feat by DrS. A. Brasche and F. Lange. These
workers have also performed the feat Of giving
to electrons jolts amounting to over 100000
volts
And other workers in their field have not
been idle. Using apparatus like the usual X-ray
tube. Dr.. G. c. Lauritsen and his associates
of the California Institute of Technology, Pasa-
dena. have recently produced X-rays from
electrons Speeded by more than 6O0, 900 volts.
DR.. w. D. Coolidge Of the General Electric Co,
using tube OF his own design called "cas-
cade" tube, has produced 900 900 volt electronS.
Though these latter rays are not so speedy
as DR.. Tuve's. they have much greater total In
tensity Much more elaborate protection 10
required for workers in this case.
Insulation for the apparatus used Is pro-
vided by immersing the coil and its vacuum
tube in a tank OF oil eight feet Deep put under
pressure at high voltsges.
The first achievement of the Carnegie Instt-
tuition experimenters was the production Of fast
moving negative eIectrons, artificial beta rays
identical with one OF the radiaticns from ra-
dunn.
To speed up immensely a wandering electron
it Is simply permitted to fall Only an elec-
trical pull is required instead Of q gravitationaI
pull. It Is to produce this pull that the i'm
menSely high voltages are required.
falling electric is much like q falling brick.
The farther it falls the faster becomes its speed
An electron that has fallen through 100000
volts naturally requires some rather vigorous
stopping.

more than $50 miles an hour That many
miles per second would seem an inconceivable

Millions of volts may explore the neart OF the
atom. They may bring new treatment OF
cancer
In at least four great laboratories, il Berlin,
Pasadena, Schenectady and Washington,
friendly race is in progress to build larger
vacuum tubes that operate at larger voltage
and produce mere intense radiations than ever
before.
Tn the laboratories of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition near one of WaShington's finest resi-
Dental districts there work three physicists
They are at present out in front in this race
for more intensive radiation.
These three musketeers OF physics are Dr.
NJ A. Tuve L. r. Hafstad and Odd Dahl Of
the staff Of the department OF terrestrial mag
netiSm Of the institution
Their tubes have operated at about 100000
volts, they have generated SPARKS az S,zVV,uVV
volts and they have new method that premises
even much higher voltage In the not-distans
future
These three men and their tubes have been
decorated with the 81 900 annual prize Of the
American Association for the Advancement Of
Science.
Out of their tubes come the most penetrating
eadiationS that man has ever made.
These radiationS are more penetrating, more
nowerful, more capable Of harm or good than

gnl weapon under their control.
No wonder scientists in their own quiet way
talk excitedly about the possibilities.
JUDGED by the possible usefulness of the
- radiations, the achievements Of these ex-
perimenters in the forefront Of physics are be-
lieved by many TO be more important than
vrould he the artificial manufacture Of radium
itself. momentous as that would be-
The new tube can duplicate the radiations
from radium and deliver three kinds Of syn
thetic radium radiations just when and where
desired. Radium, the chemical element which
when isolated by the Curies just before the
turn Of the century upset the idea Of the
permAnency of matter, produces its radiationS

speed. Yet that enormous velocity is only one
Soven-hundredth Of the speed that has now
been impaired to electrons in these experiments.
A speed Of $4,000 miles per second, for the
nrSt time within the power OF mankind, Is only
i per cent slower than the fastest speed pos
sible, the speed of light. For Einstein holds
as central point Of his relatively theory that
nothing can surpass the speed Of light.
Speeding electrons have already been pro-
duced in x-ray tubes, but there the electrons
are much shower.
Imagine brick that has fallen from the top
Of great skyscraper. It win make quite .
conrnotion il it hits anything. It win also be
badly smashed. As an electron cannot be
broken up It sets up . very violent vibration
in the atoms OF any target which has been
placed in its path.
These vibrations travelling out through the
ether constitute the X-rays. which have the
power to penetrate ordinarily opaque matter.
The x-rays are thus not material particles
but q wave motion similar to light waves The
ether vibrations produced In these new expert
ments are also similar to light waves but Of
shorter wayelength, Of greater energy and
greater penetrating power than ordinary *
rays. They can pass through three inches Of
lead, the most opaque substance for such radia-
tions. These waves initiate, in all essential re-
spects, the gamma radiation from radium.
For some purposes scientists can think Of the
ether as q sort OF rigid jelly pervading all space.
An electron gives it push at one point and
shlver quickly runs on In all directions
What the new work Of the Carnegie Institu-
ton has done Is to produce more rapidly NOV
ing electrons than ever before and thus give
the Jelly q correspondingIy greater jar when
they hit it. The Shiyer produced Is correspond
ingiy more violent and the effects In other
atoms farther OF more marked.
Innovations In cancer treatment are one DOS
sible outcome Of the new gamma rays. for 1t IS
this constituent Of the radtum radiations that
Is effective in treating tumorS
On the other hand, the gamma rays can do
incalclIable harm. They produce serious burns
in normal flesh exposed too long to their action.
During the early days OF pioneer work with
radum and X-rays many workers lost their
lives because the action Of the rays Is delayed
and fatal doses had been given before the dan
ger was realized.

~ are taking in playing with such danger
