Once Mary called to say that

"Oh, Doc, I'm so sorry! I know

mock-gruffness, p a t t 6 her

DR.. Luke smiled. "Oh, now,

used to all sorts of things. Peo-

was heavily jocoSe. People are

One evening Nurse Kennedy
called. From her own nearby

"A little jumpy, doctor?" she
called as she came in the front
door. will you drink cup of

DR.. Luke halted his pacing, al
most with relief. He regarded the
nurse with a quizzical and humor-

Then how about getting out of

DR.. Luke picked up his black bag

"Good-by, gentlemen" he said

walked out the door with heavy

ITHACA, N. Y, January 13-At a
cost Of $1,000 Cornell University has
machine capable Of making artificial
radium as substitute for the real
stuff, which costs $4,000 a gram.
Completion of this machine, a cy-
clotron. the second of its kind in
existence, was announced here last
night.
The original cyclotron, a machine
which uses 100000 80-ton magnet
to produce 100000 to 100000
volt rays, was made by DR.. E. O..
Lawrence at the University of Cali
fornia.
His assistant in that work, DR.. M.
Stanley Livingston, built and installed
the new Cornell cyclotron. It is a
simplifled. smaller magnet ray ma
chine. Its cheapness promises to
make this new type Of scientific in
strument available for general use in
medicine and atomic investigation.
The great expectations for these
machines are shown by the fact that
independently Columbia University
and the University of Rochester are
both building cyclotrons.
These machines make a good many
different kinds of artificial radium.
The one best known to the public
is radioactive table salt. When this
condiment is placed under the big
magnet ray it becomes temporarily
radioactive. Its radium rays last for
about a day at full strength.

A peculiar manifestation of intantile
