The Rome press ministry. however,
said it had no knowledge of the ceS-
sation Of offensive East African oper-
ations.
Italy's position regarding Germanys
broadside at the Locarno pact was
| that she would take no action as q
guarantor of that pact.
1t was unofficially explained that,
first, her position as guarantor had
been impaired by the sanctions the
| other guarantor, Great Britain, had
imposed against her.
Second, Italy did not have as much
interest in the Locarno pact as Great
Britain, since she had never adopted
the British attitude, as expressed by
Prime Minister Baldwin, that Great
Britain's frontier was the Rhine.
Third, any action with regard to
the treaty would have to be taken be-
fore the League of Nations, and Italy's
relations toward the League are

Traditions

Berlin. - Hohenzollern military
tradition is proving stronger than
the new nazi conception of demo-
cracy, as far as the form of ad-
dress is concerned.
The hidebound rule of the army
is that a superior must be address,

may, for instance, not say herr
corporal, are you going home for
your furlough?" He must say, lis
herr corporal going home for his
furlough?"
The rule goes right through the
hierarchy. A lieutenant must ad-
dress a captain in the third person.
a captain a major and so on.
The archaic form of address
which began in the 18th century:
has been abolished in civil life ex-
cept when addressing someone Of
royal rank or someone enjoying
the title of "excellency." Ever
here, however, it is becoming more
and more the custom to use the
second person. In the army alone
the third person form of addres,
is mandatory.
C%uriously enough, the one excep.

Magnesium Eye
Sees Invisible

Chicago-A scientific eye which
is blind to everything but the in
visible rays hat cause sunburn was
set on the trial of the common cold.
Its job will be to measure the
intensity of ultraviolet rays which
produce Vitamin A, one of the
prime factors in the body's resis-
lance to colds.
The 'eye" is a new type of
photo-electric cells, developed by
Prof. Robert eastman, Northwest
ern university physicist. Its new
ness lies in the fact that it uses the
element magnesium.
Electric eyes, developed in the
past were designed like radio tubes,
and coated on the inside with col
loids of alkali metals. They were
sensitive to the entire light spec
trum, 10th the visible range and
the invisible infrared and ultra vio-
let.
! The new ''eye'. looks like a
miniature divers helmet, made of
PURE magnesium with a litsIe round
window in front. Inside the win
dow is a tiny disc of nickel, to at
tract the electrons thrown off by
the magnesium when the ligh,
rays strike.
The magnesium cell is blind tc
everything the human eye Ear see,
1t reacts only to the "therapeu-
tic" band Of invisible ultraviolet
rays. This band, ranging from D.
700 to $500 angstroms, includes
the rays that cause sunburn. The
visible spectrum starts at 1900
angstroms. -,
