Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

PROFESSOR HARLOW SHAPLEY world famous
i astronomer and director of the Harvard OBJ
servatory. the man who has done as much as any
other one to show the immensely Of the universe
turns from his contemplation of the great to the
small and concludes that never uncover the
smallest thing in the universe.
In his researches of astronomy, Professor Shap-
lev has found that the units of organization are
island gaaXes great clouds of stars each one con-
tanning a couple of billion stars. He finds these
galaxieS organized into super galaXieS and in
measuring them he has found it convenient to use
yardStick of 100000 lghtyearS that is, 100000
times 5000 900 100000 miles.
Turning now to the realm of physics he expresses
the belief that matter is composed OF smaller units
than scientists have yet revealed The things around
us are composed of molecules.
If a drop of water we're magnifed to the size of
the EARTH the moleScueS would be about as large as
oranges.
The diameter of moescues vary ranging from
one ten-millionth of an inch down TO one-hundred
and twenty-five millionth of an inch
Molecules are composed of atoms which are still
smaller The hydrogen atom has a diameter of about
one-half the smallest moecule Atoms in their turn
are composed OF electrons. The electron has
diameter OF about acknowledgements that of
the hydrogen atom.
THE diameter of the electron is about one
Il twenty-five trillonth of an inch. That seems
pretty small But Professor Shapley is not content
to stop there
In addition to the electron. we also have posi-
tive particle in the nuclei of atoms namely. the pro-
ton Atoms appear to be organized somewhat like
the solar system with nucleus of both protons and
electrons around which additional eecrons revolve
a TOMS are no longer listed as utimateS, Pro-
4 lessor Shapley points out. He adds: They
are now among the best known of material systems;
and even their unit componentS can not maintain
the former atomic role of being the ndivsibe stones
OF which the material universe is built Experience
certainly recommends caution in asserting any lower
limit in the organization of the microcoSmoS.
ON the other hand" he continues since we
can know of electrons and protons and the units of
radiation only by using eectronS and protons and
units of radiation in technique of measuring and
comprehending it may be that We have already got
the bottom of measurable units and systems of
tits.
But In a hypothetical sub-eectronc world. where
there may be systems within systems indefinitely our
eoarSe-grained tools longer bring information to
our coarse grained minds.

Wholesale Jail Delivery

TINE conviction then was reversed trial errors
IL and Mr. Stewart took his defense. But he
said to hell with the old mans reputation and in
sisted on proving that he drunk. Moreover, the
heat was off by this time. If shoots another
man while drunk that is mere social error. Be-
ing drunk he can have no responsible intent to do
anything. So Mr.. Stewart got the old man off with
a fine of 500 for simple assault.
The boy then got judgment for $4,000 against
Gilday, but contractor stepped in first with levy
on a $4,000 building which the old man owned and
can't collect his money, you may feel reasonably
sure that Mr.. Stewart got his. Mr.. Stewart is no
amateur mouthpiece
The supreme court verdict outlawing the grand
jurieS may have the effect of a great Jail delivery
for criminals who have been sent away under indict-
ments similarly drawn Nevertheless the law is the
law and though the observance of the law may
Illustrate law enforcement that is something which
will have to attended to by due process of law If
civilization is to be maintained
Otherwise you have lawlessness disorder and
anarchy don't you?
The two young who were lynched in Cali
fornia never will kidnap and murder again because
they are permanently dead, but that seems paltry
boon when you come to think that they did not
have their legal chance to repudiate their con-
therefore without intent parade their sorowing
relatives wearing their lodge buttons for the jury to
See and in the course of years, to emerge from
prison and kidnap and kill somebody else.
I am glad to be put right. 1t would have been
pretty terrible thing for civilization if Roger Touhy
and the boys had been lynched. Lynching degrades
a community But kidnapping is different. 1t sort
of tones up place.

example, by a gigantic maSsed at
tack upon an important munltlon
center? They are also wondering
if such battle might be decisive.
It is significant that Germany.
although it sunk more ships IN
the Battle of Jutland, learned that
it was foolish to attack the British
navy and therefore avoided a de-
cisive battle on the sea. The STU
alton in the air might be some
what similar.
Many authorities think the next
world war will divide itself into
two phases.
First, they think, there will be
the mechanical phase, the tanks
and airplanes against each other
or against modernized forts.
Then when this is over, there
will be the second phase, resem-
bling the last World war, which
extended it's dreary and horrible
days from 1914 to 1918.
They look again for the long
lines Of trenches manned by the
great old-fashioned armies of in
fantry The war will then have
changed in character. 1t will be
again a war of massed man power,
a stalemate.
What will happen then? Will
it drag on until every nation is
exhausted. Or will some new and
unexpected invention end it? The
invention of the tank broke the
Stalemate of the last World war.
What horrible invention, coming
from some scientific or engineer
ing laboratory behind the lines,
will do the trick next time?

a FEW months ago the cables
4 n carried accounts of what
France was doing to meet the
menace of the new kind of
mechanical warface.
Since 1925, so the cables re-
vealed. France has been at work
on Subterranean forts such as the
world has never seen. Included
in them is the so-called "Maginot
Line" named after the late war
minister, Andred Maginot, who
was active in planning and build
ing it.
1t is a 200-mile line Of forts to
protect the vital industrial region
of Briey, north of the VoSges and
opposite the Saar basin.
A tourist wandering in this
neighborhood might be surprised
to suddenly come upon the barred
entrance to some sort of heavy
concrete tunnel disappearing
down into the earth.
Or he might be surprised on a
hilltop, screened by trees and
underbrush, to find a great gray
dome, strange gigantic mush-
room of steel.
No more than this is visible 10
the eye. But buried deep down
under the ground are great sub
terranean halls containing living
quarters, electric power plants,
kitchens, and ammunition maya
zines. The barred tunnels are the
entrance ways to these halls. The
steel mushrooms are the fighting
tops of these underground forts.
They are revolving turretS
equipped with a variety of ma
chine guns, artillery pieces and
anti-aircraft guns.
ZACH steel mushroom is really
IL the top of a buried tower of
steel. Elevators, running in these
towers, bring up the ammunition
to feed the guns. In some cases
the subterranean passages have
been arranged so they can be
sealed tight and the air pressure
kept a little higher than that
above ground. This is to keep out
poison gas.
Not only are military men being
trained to man these forts, so the
cables from France report, but viii
layers near them are being trained
to take their places in them in
the event of an outbreak of hos
tilities.
And France is not the only
country building forts to protect
its frontiers.

Neu Trial Is Granted

TNASMUCH as Touhy and has colleagues were
L indicted by a grand jury which was drawn the
same way similar attack on the legality OF their
sentence will be made by their counsel William Scott
Stewart the hoodums mouthpiece in Chicago Con-
Sistently too they will be purged of their proven
guilt and given third trial under new Indictment
BY time the prosecution can get around to that,
however the heat will be off, as they say around
the criminal courts and the sentence should they
be convicted again. may be less severe. Mr. Stewart
as a practical counselor, recognizes the Importance
of the heat in a criminal For instance, there
was the predcament of a noisy, ornery old hypo-
critic in Chicago who used to go around enforcing
prohibition as free-lance. His name was Daniel
Gilday. One night he got drunk himself and when
a misguided youth with the heart of Boy Scout
went to help him out of his gutter, the old man
hauled off with pistol and shot him through his
digestion.
The heat still was when the old man went to
trial and moreover his counsel made mistake in
attempting to preserve his reputation at the risk of
his freedom. They claimed he just upset, not
drunk, and thought the young Samaritan was try
ing to iackroll him. With the heat still on he was
convicted of assault with intent to kill and sentenced
to prison from one to fourteen years.

RECALLS LAUNCHING
OF EARLY SUBMARINE
OnloOkers Feared for Safety of
Craft, Passenger Relates.

Craft. Passenger Relates.
By United Press
OSHKOSH, Wis, Feb. 27-The
story of the launching of one of
the worlds first navigable Submar-
ines was told to the county archie
illogical society here by C. c. Kon-
rad, Oshkosh, passenger in the
craft.
The submarine was launched on
the Rox river here June 26, 1897, by
the inventor, Richard Raddat3 26, a
graduate of Oshkosh Normal. The
boat was constructed of metal and
was sixty-five feet long and four
feet in diameter. On the first trip
down, after twenty-five minutes be-
meath the surface, watchers on
shore believed disaster had over
taken the boat and were about to
pull it up when the submarine came
to the surface through it's own
power.
Nearly a year later the first sue
cesSful submarine was launched in
the Atlantic ocean.

Germans, to the great surprise of
the allies, had made big guns mo-
bile, guns of a size which it had
been previously supposed could be
fired only from fixed bases. The
German guns pounded the forts
to pieces.
1t is only fair to assume that
the nations have profited by this
lesson. Just as there have been
advances in the building of tanks,
so there have been advances in
the art of fortif1cation. Who can

There are other questions which
