Age-OId Goal Is Reached
As Science Splits Atom

LONDON, May 2 UN.S0-Cre-
alton of a modern Aladdin's Lamp
was envisioned today with the an
nouncement by Lord Ernest Ruth
erford that the splitting OF the
atom-deScribed as the ultimate
goal Of modern Science-haS been
achieved in his Cambridge Uni
verSity laboratory.
II, the theory is correct, the dis
covery Of the process Of splitting
the atom paves the way for real
ization of such seeming imposSi-
.bilitieS as driving q liner across
the ocean by q glass Of water, or
the transformation Of a bit Of
iron into gold.
According to theory, the dis
covery would mean the complete
revolution Of the physical world
as it always has been known to
man. It would unharness power,
said to be inherent in all matter,
the releasing Of which today Is
no more than q dream.
Lord Rutherford announced the
atom had been split by DrS. J. d.
Cockroft and e. T. s. Walton,
youthful scientists who have
been working upon the great
problem under him in the Cav
endiSh Laboratory. The process,
Lord Rutherford declared, had
been perfected during the past

work.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK?
BY Edison II. Waite

That II you are interested IN the
continued growth and prosperity OF
the home city, you should support the
industries that make your city pos
sible.
A city divided against itself can
never get ahead In many cities q
great lack OF a spirit OF cooperation
can be seen.
Cooperation means working together
In order TO accomplish some definite
aim. Some cities don't seem to UNI
derstand the meaning OF that word.
There also seems 10 be In those
cities lack of understanding between
the selling public and the buying pub
lie.
In order TO obtain better cooperation
the selling public should do more ad-
vertising and the buying public should
read more carefully the advertise lg
columns Of their local paper.
The selling public should place every
inducement they have before the buy
Ing public, and the buying public
show loyalty to the home city by buy
ing at home.
