AKRON, Ohio, March 27.-Col.
leges will have varsity Softball
teams within two years.
That's the prediction of Howard
Red" Blair, footall coach and
athletic director of Akron Uni
versity here, who points out that
the steady growth of interest in
softball in the schools indicates
that within the near future there
will be inter-college competition
among softball teams.
According to Blair, more col
lege students are now participat-
ing in this sport than there ever
we're playing hardball. With the
growth of intromural leagues and
added interest in the game,
varsity teams are just a matter
of a few years of development.
The Akron mentor points out
that the cost of equipping soft
ball team is very low compared
to that for hardball teams. He
said that this is one reason why
it is softball rather than hard.
ball that a number of colleges
are favoring.
Akron has neither a Softball
nor a hardbau team, but the ath.
letic departments stand is def
nitely toward softball if the Uni
versity is to be represented by a
baseball team.

 The Curies, with humanity's suf- fering in mind, concentrated upon trying to produce artificial radium which they hope may be more use ful than real radium. They have named it radiophosphate.
 Radium is too dangerous to take inside the body except in needles or seeds which can be removed, for it's soaring rays continue unabated for hundreds of years.

 After ordinary substances had been bombarded by radium rays, or other powerful rays, there was an after effect" The stuff bombarded continued for a short time to give off radiation. 1t was thought that things just didn't ettle down at once."

THE STORY OF 1884
Fv HOWARD w. BLAKEsLEE

E,y HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE (As ,iatsd Pres Science Editor)
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-To Mime. Culie'5 daughter. Irene Joliot- -Curie, and her young husband goes the palm for 1884 scientific discovery for finding something more as- founding that the elder Curies' dis covery of radium itself
 The public, which has heard vaguely of this discovery under the prosaic name of artificial radio activity, does not realize that it means 99 per cent of the earth and all things in it are different from anything man even dreamed be- fore 1894.
 Artificial radioactivity is the con- version of ordinary inert or stable chemical substances, into some thing different, int o materials which give off powerful rays of several kinds. It is obtained by use of high-power rays that strike the nuclei of atoms.
 99 Per Cent of You
 The nuclei themselves change. These nuclei are 99 per cent of all mass. Ninety-nine per cent, that is, Of you, of your home, your possess sicns and of the most distant stars Thousands of years ago philosoph- CTS dreamed that there must be some unseen power in the universe which could by a touch change the nature and the substance of every thing.
 But the young CurieS have dis covered that man himself has thls power. More-they have put the power into his hands, and the great experiment is on in many labora- tories.
 Linked with the details of the discovery is the story, now told for perhaps the first time outside sci entific circles of how the young Curies caught the scientific ship of fame after twice just missing the boat.
 Their laboratory was one of the first places where strange things began to appear when the light metal zerylium was bombarded with powerful radiation. There was a scintillation which nobody un- derstood. The Curies saw it but failed to realize its significance.
 Ultinlte Particles of Matter
 Chadwick. ill England, recognized the scintillation as neutrons, ulti- mate particles of matter never be- fore known.
 Again little later, the Curies while watching the trails drawn like , sky writing smoke by electrons div ing through the vapor of cloud chamber, saw some tracks curving in the wrong direction.
 These tracks were in a magnetic field, in -lich electrons could not curve in the direction seen. The Curies suspected they were made by some hitherto unknown kind of particle. They wrote one of the foremost scientists asking him whether these strange trails could possibly be made by some foolish sounding things predicted by theory of brilliant young Eng lishman, P. A. M. Dirac. , The theory said there would be "holeS' in electrons, or "anti-elec- irons" The scientist replied it was just theory-not practicable.
 So the Curies remained puzzled Meanwhile Anderson, the American, discovered that the trails were made by positive bits of electricity new particles of matter. Again the Curies had missed.
 Probing the 'After-Effect'
 But all this work was in the same unknown vorid-the peculiar
