Rev. Nicholson Calls
Ministry "A Poor
Trade" in Sermon

DENTON, Md, June 19.-The
ministry is a high calling but
a poor trade"
Such was the characterization
given by the Rev. r. Y. Nichol-
son, pastor of the Rhode Island
Avenue Church Of Washington
in the annual ordination SER
mon preached yesterday at the
annual Maryland Conference Of
the Methodist Protestant
Church.
The ministry provides for the
necessities of life, DR.. Nichol-
son pointed out to the five can
didates for ordination, but .ex-
cludes the 1uxuries of life.
But, he pointed out, the
clergyman should not enter his
calling with the idea in mind
that he is entering a life of
ease.

ATOMIC ENERGY
USE IS STEP
!. NEARER

CHICAGO, June 10 QN.S0.-
New methods of releasing tremen'
dous atomic energies and the
breakdown Of old barriers be-
tween living and nonliving mat.
ter were announced today at the
opening session Of the Century OF
Progress meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement
OF Science.
Production of alpha-p particle en-
ergies Of 12,600,000 volts by the
bombardment Of lithium atoms
with protons Of only 100000 volts
was announced by Drs. Gilbert N.
Lewis, M. Stanley Livingstone
and Ernest o. Lawrence, OF the
University of California.
IsotOpe Is Used
The explosion of the lithium
atoms was accomplished by use
Of the nuclei of the recently dis
covered heavy hydrogen atom.
:, The nucleus of the new hydro
gen atom or isotope, is about
twicc as heavy as the nucleus OF
the usual hydrogen atom. Use
of the heavier nuclei as projec-
tiles with which to hit and dis
rupt lithium atoms thus brought
about effects similar to those
when a 12.inch gun Is used instead
Of six-inch gun in firing at an
object.
The physicists asserted that all
that now stands in their way OF
making atomic energy available
for human production and distr1-
button use are means OF making
. majority Of direct hits on atoms
With their projectiles.
Old Methods To Go
Once this obstacle is overcome,
AL ] esent-day power production
methods, sucil as those employing
fuels like coal and oil, or the
force of water pressure, will be
discarded as outrageously ineffi-
cient.
For with means Of releasing
atomic energy at hand, a piece
Of coal the size of a walnut would
drive the biggest liner around the
world.
Other important advances in
releasing atomic energies during
the last six months were an
1lounced by a number of investi-
gators. DR.. Robert j. Van De
Graaf, of Massachusetts Insti-
Ntute of Technology, announced
preliminary tests of his huge
electrostatic generator, under con-
struction at Round Hill, Mass,
showed it would develop the pre-
dicted 10000 900 volts that will
be used in atomic studies.
McBain Talks
The description of how new in
StrumentS are breaking down old
distinctions between living and
nonliving matter was given by
Prof. James w. McBain, Of STAN
ford University.
He told how investigators had
found that living organisms had
survived under the terrific pres
sure Of 100000 times the force
exerted by gravity on the earth,
thus demonstrating that life may
exist on such a huge planet as
Neptune if enough heat is felt at
the orb's surface.

EDWARDS |RKED
BYPOL|CE WIT

Policemen who think they have
senses of humor had better cease
practicing their wit over the po-
lice teletype machines, according
to Inspector L. I. H. Edwards.
Inspector Edwards, who some
days ago issued a verbal blast
against the prevailing custom of
sending out scores Of baseball
games between washington and
other teams over the police tele-
type, is also opposed to flippant
comments on events, such as a
recent one:
"Dog reported stolen last p. m.
is o. X. The dear creature has
returned home"
He said:
part of that was entirely
unnecessary in handling that
message"

DEVIL IN EYES
MARKS SINGERS

Boys with "the very devil in
their eyes" really put the kick
and snap into choir singing.
This is the deduction of Prof.
H. Augustine Smith, professor Of
fine arts in religion at Boston
University, who conducted a two
day conference on church music
and painting at the National City
Christian Church.
He feels that boys with strong
temperaments and emotions
make good choir singers when
they have the proper training,
Speaking to choir leaders yester-
day, he declared that new hymns
are frequently much better than
old ones.

D. {. FUND BILL
TOBEPUSHED

Representative Clarence j. NC
Leod (RO of Michigan announced
today that with the opening Of the
regular session of Congress in jan
uary he will push for immediate
consideration of his bill to give
the heads of the District govern
ment the right to spend surplus
funds in the treasury without d.
rect authorization from Congress.
Mcleod has circularized all civic
organizations in the District and
they are expected to endorse his
proposal during the intervening
months before Congress goes into
session again.
The bill was referred to the
House District Committee and was
one of the 49 measures which the
group had under consideration at
the close of the special session.
The bill is predicated on the
idea that the District government
will be controlled by three COM
missionerS, but also contains a
section which would vest the same
authority in one man, if the Presi-
dent decides to change the form
of the local government.
Approximately $2,0O0,000 is ex-
pected to be left in the U. s.
Treasury to the credit Of the Dis
trict at the end of the next fiscal
year and if the Mcleod bill is
passed that money can be ex-
pended on July /, 1884, or there
after. Under the present law the
Commissioners cannot spend any
sums not authorized by direct ap.
preparation.
