SCIENCE
Compton's Rise Rapid
BY DAVID DIETz

chelson the Nobel prize. Michel
son measured the speed of light
and invented an apparatus known
as the interferometer.
The interferometer has been put
to many uses. 1t will measure
lengths in terms of light waves,
an accuracy not to be obtained
IN any other way. It was used
IN slightly different form, in the
experiment which laid the foun-
dation for the Einstein theory of
relatively.
In still a different form, it was
attached to the 100-inch tele-
scope at Mt Wilson and used to
measure the diameters of giant
stars.
Compton Effect
NOW the interferometer oper-
L ' ates upon the principle of
the interference of light waves.
What happens in the instrument,
like the original classical interior
ence experiment, can be explained
only upon the assumption that
light consists of waves.
But the Compton effect, for
which Compton received the
Nobel prize can be explained only
upon the assumption that light
does not consist of waves. What
Compton did was to show that
when X-rays were scattered or re-
hected from crystal surfaces, the
frequency Of the waves became
less.
Now this was not to be expected
in the wave theory Of light. There
Is no reason why a reflected wave
should lose energy.
But if you regard light as con-
sisting Of little packets or bullets
Of energy, the so-called quanta
or photons, you can then explain
the Compton effect.
A quantum Of light or photon,
colldes with one Of the atoms
OF the crystal. 1t loses energy
by the collision and therefore
when it bounces off it has less en-
ergy and a lower frequency.
The Compton effect is regarded
as one of the most important
proofs Of the quantum theory of
light.
Needless to say, this puts mod
ern scientists in a difficult posi-
ton. AS one scientific wit said,
physicists are forced to use the
wave theory Of light on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, and
the quantum theory on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays.
DR.. Compton recognized the
difficulty at the time he spoke in
Wooster. He compared the situa-
ton to a football game.
The score, he said, is still
0 to and the ball is in the mid
ole of the field"
The puzzle, to change SMILES,
is still with us. Undoubtedly,
there viii be another Nobel prize
for the man who can reconcile,
the two conflicting sets Of expert
mentS.

new BILL WILL
Be SPONSORED
BY FARM BUREAU

Farm burau directors reaffirmed
their support of the property quail
ification requirement for voters in
irrigation district elections at their
meeting Saturday afternoon in the
court house.
The local farm bureau endorsed
the property qualification bill which
was presented in the last session
Of the legislature and which was
declared unconstitutional by the at
torney general as the bill was linn
tied to one district.
The farm bureau is now endors-
ing a movement for a bill which
will apply to all irrigation districts
and at Saturdays meeting the sec
retary was instructed to take up
the matter with the farm bureaus
of the state and the state officers.
c. o. Hoober of Calipatria and
j. L. Dubois presented their resig-
nations at Saturdays meeting stat
ing as their reasons that they were
both running for the office of ir-
rigation district director. The res
ignationS were laid on the table
by vote of the directors, several of
whom declared that farm bureau
directors should not be debarred
from accepting political offices.

write the local chamber of COM
merce and the Imperial Valley
Press acknowledging the help rem
dered by those two organizations
in the recent financial drive in El

SHANGHAI, Feb. 8. = Fierce
fighting for possession of the
Shanghai area was renewed by the
Chinese and japanese on two
fronts tonight. after failure of a
new attempt by foreign diplomats
to bring about peace.
An artillery battle broke out in
the North Station area on the
border of the International Settle
ment. Twenty miles away, at the
Woosung forts guarding the ap-
proach to the city. the Chinese still
held out stubbornly after hours of
heavy fighting.
The peace effort was instituted
by the British. The Chinese agreed
to withdraw IS miles from the city
if the Japanese would withdraw
also, but the latter refused.
Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura,
who arrived from Japan to take
charge of the fleet operations. re-
ceived the press aboard the flag
ship Idzumo, and expressed hope
the situation could be cleared up
shortly.
The Chinese Kuomin news
agency issued the following sum-
mary of the situation tonight:
AT $50 p. m. monday the Chi
nese were still holding the Woo
sung forts and all sectors, following
the first engagement Sunday night
during which 5000 japanese troops
attacked. The fighting was fierce
and losses by both sides heavy.
AT Monday noon 1000 japanese
troops attacked west of the Pao-
shan road (near Woosung), the en-
gagement lasting two hours and
the japanese suffering heavily
without gain.
"An important appeal was tele-
graphed to Secretary Stimson,
Premier Macdonald, Premier Mus
solini, Premier Laval and Sir Eric
Drummond, secretary general of
the league, from the Shanghai
Bankers association, the chamber
of commerce, native bankers, labor
union and the Universities union,
reiterating that Japan is disre-
