THE apparatus used by physicists at the Univer-
sity of Columbia to measure the size of the
neutron and various atomic nuclei, is considered
the most sensitive apparatus of the kind ever built
Readers, therefore may be interested in detailed
account of its construction and operation.
As previously told. the experiments showed that
the neutron had diameter of one ten trilionth of
an lnch that the lighter atoms, ranging from hydro
gen to carbon. had nuclei approximately one five
trillonth of inch in diameter and that the atom
OF lead. heavy atom, had nucleus three f1ve-tr-
honths Of an inch in diameter.
In the Columbia experiments neutrons the cleo
trically neutral particles of sub-atomic SIZE were
used TO lombard the atoms of other substances. The
heart of the apparatus therefore is device for pro-
viding a supply of neutrons
Beryllium powder is used the source of neu-
irons The powder is placed in small glass bulb
which is then filled with radon. Radon sometimes
called radum emanation is gas which is given off
by radium in the course of its transformation.
changes into other members of the radium family,
becoming, in turn, Radium A. Radium B and
Radium c.
DURING each of these transformations. except
L. that from Radium B to Radium c. alpha par
ticles are emitted. The beryllium powder there
fore is subjected TO a triple bombardment of alpha
particles This bombardment skaters the atoms of
beryllium causing them TO emit neutrons.
Professor George B. Pegram of the Columbia de-
partment Of physics says that at times as much as
1900 millicures Of radon used. This was the
equivalent OF nearly two grams of radum. In SINH
lar experiments in Europe in which polonium was
used instead of radon, only $50 micuries of polon
ium we're required.
In addition, Professor Pegram points out that
radon furnished so many more alpha particles than
polonium that 1900 micuries of radon were equiva-
lent to $500 millicuries of poonium.
The production of neutrons from the berylium
powder ran into millions of neutrons a second, he
says.
The glass bulb in which the neutrons are pro-
duced is enclosed within platinum capsule and hung
in the center Of large The room must be
large enough that the reflection of neutrons from
its walls VIII not interfere with the expen nent.

My pretty little startled Dora!
Her only association with the

something Of that kind; and she

ID ECENT disclosures concerning various cases of
N test tube babies" have aroused considerable
popular interest in the processes of artificial insem-
nation but few persons seem to realize that the idea
of test tube babies is at least $50 years old and
was considered by physicians even before then.
The practice has been common for many years
in breeding animals.
AS far back as $780, artificial dissemination was
practiced on dogs and in 1799 John Hunter an emf
nent scientist performed partially successful ex-
pertinent with human beings.
Objections to such births on moral social and
even legal grounds prevented further experiments
for some time.
Nevertheless, III recent years, instances have
occurred in which physical conditions existing in the
mother or in the father have made artificial insemi
nation desirable.
ORDINARILY, married persons who discover
" they can not become natural parents adopt
children from the institutions which have
them available.
Lack of ability to give birth to a child may be
due to the fact that the tube through which the
egg cell of the mother should pass to the organ
where the child is held previous to birth may be OBJ
structed; or it may be that similar obstruction
prevents the product of the father from entering
this organ TO ferJilize the mothers egg CELL that
the father may be altogether unable to produce the
vital cells necessary for fertilization.
Furthermore, obstruction in the father may
prevent his cells from passing
When any of these difficulties arises it is a sim
pie matter for the physician to overcome any OBJ
struction by obtaining of the vital cells of the
father and with a syringe, injecting these directly
into the birth organs of the prospective mother
OF course, the physician first makes a scientific
" examination to determine whether the father
produce the vital cells necessary for such in
semination
Where this is impossible, the paternal seed can
be obtained from a male outsider, as was reported
to have been the case in some recent instances.
The G2nor may not have actual knowledge Of how
his cells are to be u or in what case.

The effect of this was to con-
fuse the minds of the peoples on
both sides of the Atlantic. BY
the Europeans all the money they
had borrowed was regarded as
spent to win the war. BY the
Americans a very large part was
regarded as spent for reconstruc-
ton. So the matter was in tan
gle from the start.
The European allies, having
fixed it in their minds that they
had borrowed to fight Germany,
then decided that Germany must
make good the loans. On that
theory the reparation bill was in
f1ated to point far beyond Ger
many's capacity to pay. For a few
years Germany paid by borrow
ing the money from private in
vestors in London, America, Hol-
land and Switzerland. When, in
1881, Germany could borrow no
more, she could pay no more.
Then President Hoover took a
hand by proclaiming a morato-
rum. This move, which was
made without consulting France,
ended for all time Germanys
willingness to pay reparations.
France was, therefor, in the po-
sition where she still owed her
debt to America, though Ameri-
can action had destroyed her
chances of collecting from Ger
many.
1t was this that convinced the
French that they had moral
right to have their debt to Ameri-
ca reduced draStically, and when
President Hoover felt he could
not discuss a revision of the debt,
the French nation decided it had
a just grievance, and then re-
fused to pay anything until the
debt was revised.
THIS refusal to pay anything
Il then made the United States
feel it had a just grievance, and
out of that feeling came the
Johnson bill, which closes the
American investment market to
France and all other countries
which do not from now on pay in
full.
But that does not end the COM
plications. If Senator Johnson's
Interpretation of his own bill is
correct. Great Britain and Italy
will be in default after June Is
unless they pay in full, which is
most unlikely, or congress, before
it adjourns. gives the President
power to reduce these debts dras-
tically.
We then shall be in the rather
strange predicament where it is
impossible to sell the securities of
the strongest financial nations in
the world, but perfectly possible
to sell securities of the weakest fl
nancial nations. The American
investor will not be able to buy
new French or British bonds
which are well above par, but he
VIII be able to buy Peruvian bonds
which sell at ten cents on the
dollar.
Politics and international fl
nance make bad mixture. 1t is
VIGOROUSLY bad when private for
elgn loans are backed by diplo-
macy and in the last resort by
armed force. That kind of fl
nance has led to no end of trou-
Die in the past, to military inter
vention, to conquests and TO the
kind OF imperialist rivalry which
has existed in China and in the
Near East and Africa and Central
America.

IT DECLARE I'll make Jip bite
Il you'll" said Dora, shaking her
curls, "if you are so ridiculous"
But I looked so serious that
Dora left off shaking her eurls
and laid her trembling little hand
upon my shoulder, and at first
looked scared and anxious, then
began to cry. That was dread
full. 1 fell upon my knees before
the sofa, caressing her and i'm
ploring her not 10 rend my heart;
but for some time poor little Dora

At last, after an agony of sup
plication and protestation, l got
Dora to look at me with a hor-
rified expression of face, which I
gradually soothed until it was
only loving, and her soft, pretty
cheek was lying against mine.
Then I told her, with my arms
claSped around her, how I loved
her so dearly and so dearly how
I felt it right to offer to release
her from her engagement because
I was now poor; how I never could
bear it, or recover it, if I lost her!
How I had no fears of poverty if
she had none, my arm being
nerved and my heart inspired by
her; how l was already working
with a courage such as none but
lovers knew; how I had begun to
be practical, and look into the flu
ture; how a crust we'll earned was
far better than a feast inherited,
and much more to the same pur-
pose, which I delivered in a burst
of passionate eloquence quite sur
prising to myself, though I had
been thinking about it day and
night, ever since my aunt had

loved-might, could, would or
should ever love as 1 loved Dora.
The more I raved, the more Jip

way, got more mad every moment.

enough, and Jip was lying in her

of perfect rapture. Dora and I
were engaged. I suppose that we
had some notion that it was to
end in marriage. We must have
had some, because Dora stipulated
that we were never to be married
without her Papa's consent. But,
in our youthful ecstasy, don't
think that we really looked before
us or behind us, or had any
aspiration beyond the ignorant
present. We were to keep our
secret from Mr.. Spenlow, but I

Recently George figured his
chance had come.
The new Republican committee
for the congressional campaign
would need a publicity man. AS
an old newspaper man and editor,
George regarded himself as the
perfect choice. He preached the
idea to his old friend Jim. For
the small sum of $4,000 a year,
and a house in Washington,
George was ready and willing to
serve. Ever the expansive prom
User, (major cause of his defeat
was the crop of unfulflled prom
ises which caught up with HIM
Jim readily assured George he
would take care of the matter.
But, alas! The job was not
Jim's to deliver.
When he put the suggestion up
to Senator Dan o. Hastings, lead
ing spirit in the Republican con-
gressional committee, the pudgy
little Delawarian shifted. Dan
doesn't think so much of the caus-
tic Mr.. Moses. Furthermore, he
had his own choice for the job,
Warren Wheaton, then CORE
spondent of the now defunct
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Wheaton got the job-at the
figure George set, but without the
free house.
So George Moses is peeved at
Jim Watson. But he'll get over it.

Johnson's fundamental mistake
was coding. Hundreds of smaller
industries never should have been
coded. Seventy-five per cent of
all the jobs in the country are
covered in only thirty-Six codes.
The remaining Is per cent of Ia
Dor is scattered over thousands
of codes and industries.
The original plan was to ignore
the latter, concentrate the NRA
upon steel, coal, automobiles and
the other big boys, leaving the
little fellows to come last or not
at all.
But Johnson, ambitious, anxious
to make a splurge, overSold the
thing. He tackled big and little
at the same time-with the result
that some of the big fellows still
are not finally coded.
This is one of the great mis-
takes which now is causing so
many to turn sour on the blue
eagle.
DR. LEO ROWE, DIRECTOR gen.
~ eral of the Pan American
Union, is famous for three things,
his rubber overshoes, his baskets
of fruit sent to Latin american
diplomats on their natal days, and
his propensity for writing letters.
Seldom does DR.. Rowe pass up an
opportunity to write a letter.
But now 1t is predicted that his
letter writing activities will be
curtailed. Reason:
The other day Dr. Rowe re-
ceived a copy of book, La Der
nier Epopee" The Last Epic by
the French author, Christian
Couderc. The book was in French,
a language with which DR.. Rowe
is not easily conversant. His pro-
penSity for writing letters, how
ever, plus his kindness of heart,
prompted DR.. Rowe to write let
ter thanking M Couderc. He told
him that his book unquestionably
would be most helpful to friendly

matte corps. For the book tells
the story of an imaginary war
