Human Power Interests us

WE have airplanes that can go
w five miles a minute, but still
get kick out of seeing men go a
mile in five minutes. Human
power still appeals to us, no mat
ter how weak it may be in COM
parison to mechanical power.
The thought of producing stronger,
healthier human beings, even in a
physical sense, still is uppermost in
our minds. That is why we like
sport, why our educational system
tolerstes 50 much of it, why we have
resurrected the Olympics.
The old boys felt much as we do,
in spite of their ignorance about
machinery. They, too, had faith in
men, rather than in the creations of
men.
We just are barking back to fun
damentals which we had forgotten
in our excitement over some new
playthings.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DEFY.

BY DAVID DlEI e
New Viei0 Is Advanced on
the Origin of Gamma Rays
of RGdium.
TODAY, in keeping with the
Il promise I made yesterday, I
am going to summarize the recent
experiments with radium rays which
led Lord Rutherford to suggest that
science may have to give ND the
law of conservation of energy.
This, as I explained yesterday
would be a bigger revolution in sci
ence than any caused by the IA
nous Einstein theory of RELATIVELY.
Radium and other radioactive
substances, as previously explained.
emit three types of rays-alpha rays.
which consist of the nuclei of
helium atoms: beta rays, which are
electrons; and gamma rays, which
are true radiations much shorter
IMAM X-rays. The first two types
are also called alpha particles and
beta particles.)
The new experiments have indi-
Gated that the emission Of a beta
particle from the nucleus of a ra-
dunn atom causes a readiustment
of the energy within the nucleus
This is absorbed in part bv the
alpha particles within the nucleus
One of two things then NAV han
pen, according to Rutherford II
is possible for one of these alma
particles, highly charged with en-
ergy, to escape from the atom.
When this happens, the alpba
particles comes out with greater
speed than usually and consequent
~ travels farther through the air
Such a particle is known as a long
range alpha particle.

placed under government control.
On the western front, American
and French troops continued their
great drive in the Marine sector,
smashing forward more than two

Reports from Russia told of new
