Evening of Fun Planned by
Democratic Group.

The first roundup of the year
will be staged by the Old Hickory
Club at Tomlinson hall Thursday

Andrew Bruce, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee, and an
evening Of entertainment surprises
is planned by Sidney Jerome, who
is making up the program.
There will be a full evening of
fun, starting at in the evening,
according to Jerome, with scores of
professional entertainers furnishing
diversion of a wide variety. Dane

band Of professional circus clowns

7odaY's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

THE structure of the nucleus of the atom is one
L puzzle which scientists would like to solve in
1894
Perhaps two questions will be answered during
the coming year. First, there POSITIONS in the
nucleus? Second, just what is positron anyway?
The positron is the name given to the positive
electron 1t is sort Of mirror image Of the eecron,
which Is negative 1t apparently has the same mass
and size and the same intensity Of electrical charge
But there are still many essential differences be-
tween the behavior Of the two objects.
For one thing, the existence of the electron has
been known since the beginning of the present
tury whereas the positron only discovered in
1882 and the discovery confirmed in 1888 Widely
divergent views about the postron were expressed
at the Boston meeting Of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science in 1888.
One view, essentially that expressed last June by
Dr. Nels Bohr, was that POSITION and an eectron
were created out of a quantum Of energy when
cosmc ray or gamma ray collided with the nucleus
of an atom. The other view, expressed by DR.. Carl
D. Anderson, the discoverer Of the positron, was
that the positron probably knocked out Of the
nucleus Of the atom by the impact.
EFT us take brief look at the history Of the
IL atomic theory. Until the discovery Of radium
in 1893, it was assumed that the atom indivis-
ibe. The name itself comes from the Greek and
means "uncuttable" or ndivisibe.
But Lord Rutherfords study Of the rays from
radium demonstrated that what took place in the
case of radium was spontaneous disintegration Of
the atom By his experiments he established the
fact that the atom consisted Of central nucleus
surrounded by tiny electrified particles. These par
tices, whose existence had already been shown by
experiments with X-ray tubes by Sir J. J. Thompson
were the electrons
The next great name is that of H G. j. MoseIey,
a student of Rutherford
It was in 1913. the year before the war began,
that Moseley then youth of D. made his great dis
covery. Every chemical element when bombarded
by stream Of electrons or cathode rays gives rise
to x-rays. Moseley showed that there was an
orderly increase in the wave lengths Of these rays
so that the square roots Of these wave lengths
formed perfect SERIES that Of hydrogen the light
est element, being one that for helium, the next
heaviest element, two, and so on, up 70 90 for
uranium, the heaviest known atom.
THE next step taken by Dutch physicist,
Ivan Den Brock, who demonstrated that the
atomic number" as the Moseley number for each
element to be called indicated the value Of the
positive charge on the nucleus Of the atom and
hence the number Of negative electrons associated
with the nucleus.
A theory to account for the distribution Of the
negative eectrons in the atom was advanced in 1916
by two American chemists, DR.. @. n. Lewis and Dr..
Irving Langmur. According to this theory, the
eectrons were arranged around the nucleus in con-
centric shells.

Elmer, private in Company A,

But beans, Of the army variety,

But the twinkle in Helen Lind

few inches of height can take the
JOY out of life. Like most news

laugh-and does.
Almost every woman, Of course,
thinks that the ideal life would
be continual shopping, and Helen,
no different from the rest Of the
fair sex, likes her job Of shopping
for other people and of writing
features on the side.
She likes to discover new things
Of interest to women in the stores
and she sops up the praise from
her readers.
But here's something her read
ers do not know:
Helen is a grand cook. Her
forte is fried chicken, but she is
one of the nations most unsuc-
cessful cake and pie bakers. And
her friends lay it all to her
memory.
For, off duty from office duties,
Helen is like the well-known abb
sent-minded professor.
She baked a cake one Sunday
morning not so many weeks ago.
When the allotted time was up.
Helen opened the stove and pulled
forth her cake.
Good heavens" she cried, "it's
as flat as a pancake!"
No wonder.
She had forgotten the baking
powder.

HOWEVER, some of the statesmen and holders Of
l. L appointive Office had been making racket Of
their flying privilege If they wished to go home
a Weekend even though the government was paying
them excessive railroad mileage to their travel
they would call up the army or navy or the marines
and commander big efficient ships and the services
Of flying officers to take them there.
Sometimes they carried their families with them
on these journeys and there even were occasions
when some Of the boys used government planes and
pilots on social errands Statesmen have plenty Of
gall.
The result that the army, navy and marine
filters couldn't make their allotment of fuel suffice for
their routine flying duties and it decided hence
forth to abolish this traffic altogether except on
special authorization by the President.
In this case however the mission of the states
men was concerned directly with military aviation.
Inasmuch as they are bound to go to Miami any
way at government expense to inspect the field,
flight in army plane seemed to be the best way
Perhaps later they will go by train and spend
thousand dollars the cost of saving 500,
thus proving anew that economy is an expensive
luxury the enjoyment of which ought be restricted
to the President himself.
Mr.. Roosevelt can be relied on not to practice it
to excess. The 500 saving will not ruin the country
to be sure but the cost of these economies mounts up
in geometrical progression

The history of that august body is not wholly
