 On each occasion, however. they filed back somewhat sheepishly as those toward the rear of the buiid- ing refused to join them. The only casualty was one youngster whose arm was bruised as he was caught In the jam at the gate. The at- tempts of faculty members to halt the continued rushes of the stu dents were futile.
 As the bell rang for the end of the recess, the youngsters were rounded up and herded into the building, a number of them how ever. remaining across the street where they shouted for their companions to join them.
 Harrison s. Allen. principal Oi the school, said following the re- cess that all the pupils had return ed to the building "as far as he knew" although several were seer to walk away from the school, Fol- lowing a meeting at Library Park the strikers were reported to have picketed Wilby High school.
 Inside the school the demonstra' tions continued. Students shouted and whistled in a number of ths class rooms. refusing to come tc order for the classes.
 Reports that several were ex. pelled following yesterdays dis. turbance were denied by MT Allen who characterized newspaper ac. counts of the strike as a "pack oi He's"

locked door Of the inner room. Then,
when Ogle had assured Lamb that the
Congressman could post collateral,
there was a series of hurried trips back

Lamb then invited newspaper men
into the Office. A few seconds later
Shoemaker appeared smiling in the
main Office, laughed and walked out
the door.

CHEMISTRY PRIZE
AWARD IS MADE
Medal Goes PoSt-HumouSIy
to DR.. Washburn for
Heavy Water

The Hillebrand prize of the Chem
ical Society of Washington was
awarded post -humously last night to
DR.. Edward w. Washburn, formerly
chief chemist of the Bureau of Stand
ards. for the discovery of the first
practical method of separating the
isotopes of hydrogen" DR.. Washburn
died last month.
In announcing the award, the So
ciety characterized his work as dis
rovery of the electrolytic method OF
separation, which has made possible
subsequent research into the proper
ties of the isotopes of hydrogen. and
has thus initiated almost new era
in chemistry, consequent upon the
difference in the chemical and physl-
ral properties of the isotopes and
their compounds"
Produced Heavy Water"
This means, 1t was explained, that
DR.. Washburn was the first to pro-
duce the so-called heavy water" in
which the two normal hydrogen
atoms are replaced by isotopes, which
have the same chemical properties as
hydrogen but greater atomic weight
The significance of the discovery
lies In the TACT that water is perhaps
the most fundamental substance in
the universe-basic not only in all
the phenomena of life. but in the
purely physical workings of nature.
Only the peculiar properties OF water
make the world as it is possible.
The possibility of another kind OF
water actually existing in nature, as
demonstrated by Dr. Washburn, al
most involves the theoretical building
up of a new kind Of world on the
basis of the variations Of its prop
critics from those Of ordinary water.
There Is hardly a problem Of organic
chemistry which is not affected IN
some way by the demonstration OF
this new substance.
Announced Last Year.
DR.. Washburn made the first an
nouncement OF his discovery before
the National Academy of Sciences a
wear ago and since then the problems
have been taken up in chemical lab
oratories all over the world. He was
actively at work on improving his
methods of isolating the new sub
stance and watching its biological ef-
fects at the time Of his death.
The award will be presented to Dr.
Washburns family at the annual din
ner of the Chemical Society of Wash
ington next month.

officers. We would provide these
men with adequate housing facili-
ties and adequate peace time sup
plies, with proper procurement IA

urge the modernization of fight
ing material and equipment. More
over, as definite contribution to
the increased morale of our stand
ing army, we would eliminate exist
ing pay cuts and grant the men
who compose our regular army In
creased allowances that will enable
them to meet the increased costs
of living.
Guardsmen Summoned
As a supplement to the regular
army, we feel the vital necessity
OF a National Guard composed of
two. hundred and ten thousand en-
listed men and a sufficient num-
Der of officers to supervise their
activities. We believe that Nation
al Guard troops should be given
the benefit of a. more active course
of training, both on inactive and
active duty. We favor a reserve
corps of one hundred and twenty
thousand officers, and pragrom
that will permit the active training
of at least thirty thousand officers
in 1894 through the medium OF
fifteen days in actual service. We
are heartily in favor Of compulsory
military training in those educa-
tional institutions that have re-
ceived federal land grants from the
government. Training in the Re-
serve officers training corps should
be :available for every qualified
school and college student in the
country. Furthermore, we advo-
cate continuance of the citizens
military training camp idea, with
enlargement on a scale that will
permit at least fifty thousand
youths to receive the benefit OF
this preparation In the event OF
an emergency.
Aims Described

America a full realization and APP

of an adequate national defense
