bounces. To me this looks to be the
type of game where q touchdown will

I like the way that Alabama team
handles the ball-handles passes and
kicks. And there Is nothing clumsy
about Stanford in this respect. If
you can tell me which team will get
the breaks then I'll pick the winner"
Howard Jones and Bill Spaulding
feel about the same way. They have
a deep respect for Stanford's potential
power. And that respect moves along
to the Alabama camp.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

VOUR skin is living tissue-not only just an en-
i velope which covers your body. Hence, like the
other living tissue of which the human being is
composed, the skin tends to regulate fairly we'll its
own condition.
Most persons have found that, with a reason
able amount OF cleanliness, the skin gets along quite
well.
Because of this fact, they try to treat their own
diseases of the skin or any damage which may oc-
cur to it, without realizing that neglect sometimes
may be fatal, and without realizing that the medicine
may do more harm than if nothing at all were
applied.
Thus, in older persons a cancer may begin as a
small liberated spot or as a small lump in The
breast. Any attempt to treat such a lesion with an
ointment or salve is a form Of neglect which in most
instances will result fatally.
TNDISCRIMINATE use of ointments or lotions for
l. relief of all sorts of facial blemishes, skin dis
eases. superfluous hair, itching, sweating, burning
and similar symptoms is almost certain to lead to
trouble.
Some OF the common remedies for athletes foot
damage the skin so severely that the condition
spreads instead Of being eliminated.
Although many remedies used for superfluous hair
work for a while, others are strong poisons and can
produce exceedingly serious symptoms. One of the
drugs for superfluous hair has already been reported
as causing cases of paralysis and Inflammation Of the
nerves.
A ONG the substances most frequently used on the
"a skin is cold cream. Certain skins are so dry that
extra cream must be rubbed in to keep them pliable
and be flexible.
Here, however. it is unnecessary to have any
fancy compound. The simple cold cream that is in
cluded in the United States Pharmacopoeia is as
good as any.
Most blemishes Of the skin are not due to some
thing in the skin itself or something coming from
without, but due to the poor condition Of the blood
of the person concerned.
Resistance of the skin is broken down by bad
habits of diet and of cleanliness.
Good hygiene with plenty of fresh air, exer-
else and a reasonable amount of cleanliness will be
as good for pimpleS and blackheads, as almost any
thing that can be rubbed upon the skin

ID the real Broun. Your orders are to win the

After that you pass the last frontier, and if the

Todays Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

DY playing a game of "Sub-atomic billiards., emf
ID nent physicists at Columbia university have shed
new light upon the size of atomic nuclei and other
Sub-atomic particles. They have also discovered new
facts about the behavior of atoms and the forces
which hold their constituent parts together.
Neutrons. the newly discovered particles without
electric charge. were the "cue balls" in this new Co.
lumbia billiard game. They were sent, by the mil
lions. caroming of the nuclei of other atoms. BY
applying the laest equations of atomic theory to
what happened. the Columbia physicists were able TO
calculate the desired data.
Four particularly important results of these ex-
periments. according to DR.. George B. Pegram, pro-
fessor of physics, and DR.. John R.. Dunning, are as
follows:
The diameter of the neutron was measured and
found to be one ten-trillionth of an inch.
By using the neutron as a Sub-atomic measuring
stick. the size of the nuclei of various atoms was
measured.
The energy released during the tranSmutation Of
one type of atom into another was measured. This
was found sufficient to cause neutrons to come hurl-
ing out of atomic nuclei with energies equivalent to
100000 volts and velocities of $4,000 miles a
second.
The transformation of matter into energy, OBJ
served in these experiments indicated that the mass
of the neutron must be very close to the estimates
made by DR.. j. a. Chadwick.
DR. CHADWICK, who is in Lord Rutherfords
- laboratory in the University of Cambridge, is
the diScoverer of the neutron. The chief character
istic of the neutron is its lack of any electrical
charges.
Prior to the discovery of the neutron, there we're
only two sub-atomic particles known, the proton,
positive in charge, and the elctron, negative in
charge.
Then came the discovery by Chadwick of the
neutron. which is electrically neutral. The proton is
about 1850 times as heavy as the ~electron. The mass
of the neutron, ii was apparent at once. was some
what like that of the proton and at first it was Sug-
gested that the neutron might represent a close COM
bination of a proton and an electron. The positive
nature of the one would neutralize the negative
nature of the other.
Next came DR.. Carl D. AnderSon's discovery of
the POSITION in DR.. Millikan'S laboratory in Pasadena.
This increased the completely of the situation since
there seemed to be no place to fit the positron into
the atomic picture.

done by heading the ticket with
a man who voted to override a
Roosevelt veto?

still remembering Louis obStre-
perousness in connection with
the Smoot-Hawley bill, made an
eleventh-hour attempt to center
upon a candidate to oppose Louis
in the congressional nomination.
But the hand-picked opponent
backed down, and Louis will get
the nomination by default.
Hence, Louis is free to work for
the senatorial nomination, and to-
day is as briStly with lightning

this administration so far as
patronage is concerned. Other
Indiana congressman were al

wanted to name the indianapolis
postmaster, but, unluckily for
him. the lot of choosing the In
dianapolis postmaster fell to
Senator Van Mugs, because In
dianapolis is Van Mugs home
town. and it is traditional that a
senator may pick the postmaster
in his home town.
Representative Ludlow's candi-
date was Leroy Reach, and when
he couldn't get the postmaster
ship for Reach, he tried to

lar patronage and have Mr..
Reach appointed head of the

Mr.. Ludlow's district.
A THOUGH Representative
"a Ludlow's record in congress
lacks any tinge of liberalism or
of party regularity, he is widely
considered the "best congress-
man Indianapolis ever had. MI.
Ludlow knows his way around
Washington. He knows govern
mental machinery. He can and
does perform those small chores
that endear a congressman to his
constituents.
Mr.. Ludlow has no equal when
it comes to plugging for a veter-
ans hospital in indianapolis, for
a navy order to name a spank
ing new cruiser after the city, to
helping this or that company in
his district get a government
contract, to helping a constituent
get a pension, to doing any of
the thouSand-odd things that
congressman are asked to do. He
can get things done"
When a constituent wants any,
thing-a constituent to Louis is
any n who lives anywhere in
Indiana-it matters not at all to
Louis whether he ever saw the
constituent before, or whether
the constituent is a Republican
or a Democrat, and it seems to
matter little to him what is the
merit Of the constituents cause.
Mr.. Ludlow is here to serve, and
serve he will as long as his legs
hold out.
A recent example of Mr.. Lud-
lows zeal to serve a constituent

was his championship of the
KeylesS Lock Company's lobby to
prevent the postoffice department
from erecting an equipment fac
tory at Reedsville, w. Va. Louis
won that fight. But it was a
Pyrrhic victory. The department
later disclosed that for years the
indianapolis concern had been
chief beneficiary of a poStoffice
equipment rental business that
cost the government thousands of
dollars and yielded the company
rental profits far in excess of the
value of the equipment. I'm
fortunately, that Reedsville pro-
ject was a particular job of both
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
LoAiS will not be forgiven soon.
T OUIS thrives on hard work,
~ but he can stand work and
criticism. For more than a
quarter century he was a Wash
ington newspaper correspondent,
and had plenty of work to do and
a few worries. Was it his driving
ambition to become a vice-presi-
dent some day that forced him to
take the fatal step? In the Con-
gressional Directory, Louis boasts
that he was the first newspaper
correspondent in the history of
the country to go directly from
the press gallery to a seat in con-
gress."
1t is safe to predict that not
n of Louis former colleagues
of the press-having witnessed his
suffering on the altar of ambi-
tion-ever will try to follow in his
footsteps.

caused a breach between Repre-
