.BOMbARDED ATOM
FINALLY SPLIT Up
Two Young Cambridge Scien'

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 1.-Two young scien-
lists of Cambridge University were
hailed today as having achieved a goal
physicists have sought to reach for
years. They have broken the atom.
In announcing details of what he
called "a discovery of great scientific
Importance" Lord Rutherford, the
scientist, said Drs. j. D. Cockroft and
E. T. S. Walton accomplished the feat
after several years of work with appa-
ratus erected under his supervision.
DR.. Cockroft said he and his colleague
bombarded hydrogen atoms with a
voltage of 10000 and that under the
bombardment the hydrogen atoms be-
gan to break up into helium, still
rarer gas. The helium atoms, he said,
came out of the bombardment with
particles fired into them.
Only one particle broke up, however,
for every 100000 particles used to
lombard it, he said. Dr. Cockroft, the
older of the two experimenters, is
only "a
Scientists have long hoped to split
an atom, some contending that when
this feat was accomplished, boundless
source of energy would be available.
There have been extremists who feared
the accomplishment would mean the
hurting of the world to destruction.
Asked how his experiments compared
with those Of Drs. Millikan and Ander-
son in the United States, Dr. Cockroft
said he had seen no official confirmation
Of DR.. Millikan's work.

In every presidential campaign there
comes a time when prominent men through
out the country endorse one candidate or
another.
Right at the present moment there are
number of declarations for both Hoover
and Roosevelt, with more coming in every
day.
The Roosevelt campaign managers
seem to be having the better of the ex-
ceive new names with which to work every
day, while the republican managers seem
to be bit short of material.
Public leaders of various brands of political
affiliation have been floeking to Roosevelt
Cutting, Borah (who has practically re-
pudiated Hooyer) and the Farmer-Labor
representatives of the Northwest, have
been supported by various leaders of
thought in the ranks of business and educa-
ton, with the declaration of the Scripps-
Howard chain of newspapers for Roosevelt
coming as a sensational climax.
The endorsers of President Hoover up
to the present time have been familiar
figures Starting with former President
Coolidge, the list has gone down the line
of Republican political leaders, with praa
tically no support from independent
sources.
The names of the few business men
who have declared for Hoover have been
used over and over again, and none of them
have been very impressive.

REAL CRIME PREVENTION

In the days of pioneering in the West
when the Indian was a source of terror to
travelling companies and scattered COM
rnunities, some of the more astute leaders
found that it was cheaper to feed the
natives than to fight them.
Today organized criminals threaten
life and property and order. 1t is hardly
practical to try to appease these enemies
of society by feeding them, but it is prac-
teal to rid the country of habitual criminals
by correction of conditions that school them
in crime.
There is little hope of retaining the
hardened criminal, but it is possible to cut
off the source of supply of habitual crimi-
nails If poverty could be abolished, that
would be big stride toward adjustment
of crime Elimination of the slum, the
alley hovel and the dark tenement would
stamp out the breeding places of crime.
Give boys and girls other outlets than petty
crimes for their excess energy and fewer
of them will commit major crimes in later
life.
Boys clubs, the Boy Scouts, play
grounds, such institutions as the Y. M. c.
A., school athletics and church and Sun
day school activities can provide the inter-
ests which center the minds and bodies OF
the young upon the healthful and bene-
fetal, and divert them from the sordid and
deeadent.

HOOVER THE ALAiRMIST

When President Hoover delivered his
Des Moines speech it was the effort of a
tired and defeated man. It was speech
that evoked sympathy in the heart OF the
average American citizen. While the peo-
ule realized that as an exec dtive Mr..
Hoover had not been a success, it was also
realized that he had done his best. That
his best was not good enough was not the
fault of Mr.. Hoover, but was due to his
limitations.
The people realized what disappomt-
ment his failure must have been to him and
they sympathized with him in his despair
But when President Hoover, IN his
second speech, attempted to show that ne
had been a success and that but Tor INN
the country would have been plunged INTO
bankruptcy and anarchy, the pill was Just
a bit too large to be swallowed. His bitter
aenanciation of those of his political OPP
moments who had aided him in attempting
TO remedy the situation was the last straw.
His policy of claim-everything lost him All
the gain he had made by appealing TO the
public sympathy.
The country was ready to pat the num-
bic Hoover on the back and extend con
dolence. Ii was not ready to stand Tor
Hoover the alarmist. Hoover the claimant
and Hoover the partisan.
The only credit the country is willing
to give to Mr.. Hoover is the credit for the
depression. -

i There are also hunting and medicine
gods After them, although not nee
essarily inferior to them in Importance,
is San Estevan, or Saint Stephen, the
patron saint OF Acoma, whose day,
September 2, is observed with corn
dance and with services in the old
Spanish church. He is regarded as
having some power and as being dis
posed to help the Acoma people. Then
comes YOshthi, Dios, or God, regarded
as supernatural and hence as pos
sessed of some power. He is not held
in much esteem by the Acomas, how
ever, and is considered as not well dis
posed toward the people. because of
the practice attributed to him of pun
fishing after death. None Of the ma
tive gods do this Sometimes prayer
sticks are offered to him. but they al
ways are accompanied with prayer
sticks for the great mother, Iatik.
Christie Is regarded as supernatural,
but not primarily for the Indians, and
has very little following.
y Magic and witchcraft remain very
potent influences with the Acomas, and
youths returning from white schools
have difficulty in remaining free from
superstitions against the testimony of
their own eyes, for the medicine men
are quite skillful and perform some
feats difficult to explain.
Throughout their history, it is re-
counted, the AcOmas have had repu-
tation for vigorous hostility toward
the whites. and their unfriendliness
has been preserved up to the present
time. There has been no violence for
years, but a visitor from outside finds
little welcome among them.
