Professor Ernest Lawrence of the
University of California. While I
was there his huge cyclotron was
hurting billions Of neutrons at ire
mendous voltage into a flask con-
tanning sodium. AS result of the
collision between atoms, the sodium
was becoming radioactive. When
such sodium, or any other artifi-
cially produced radioactive atom,
is injected into an animal or into a
man, it is the easiest thing to fol-
low the tagged molecules about
through the body and to measure
the amounts in the urine and the
blood and the sweat. I believe that
tremendous advances are going to
come now in the field of biochem-
istry, and this new knowledge is
bound to be of great use to us in
medicine.
1T is hard to answer your second
question. To my patients, prob
ably the most appreciated drug

Contract Bridge

On the two good diamonds in dunn
my, East let go two added spades,
and so did declarer.
The Q Of hearts was led. East's
K covered. Declarer's Ace won,
making the tenth straight trick.
The 5 of hearts was returned.
Vests 9 covered. Dummy's 10
lost to East's ~ for the first de-
fensive trick.
BY that time East held only the
lone Q of spades and the losing z
of hearts. He led the spade. De-
clarer's lone Ace won the twelfth
trick and his good 8 of hearts
yielded him the small slam for
which he had contracted. Certain
ly there was more luck than skill
in both bidding and play.
In many circles there are play
ers who enjoy that kind of sporty
bidding. They love to see how far
out on a limb they can go safely.
1t is surprising to note how con-
sentative some of these players be-
come when they are opposed by
dangerous opponents. They know
when to apply the brakes.

1t is that elusive but dynamic ele-
ment that rises in the soul of
man when he faces a mighty physic-
al or moral obstacle, an obstacle
that challenges him to action by
its very presence. 1t has been I'M
der the spell of this motivating
power that men and women have
faced the menace of the sum, the
inso1ence of those who have ex-
plotted children in labor, and the
economic cruelty of social warfare.
1t is the spirit that refuses to be
awed by odds.
No man, however talented, no
woman, however brilliant, has ever
reached the highest pinnacle
success without complete self-giv-
ing, without losing self in worthy
task. That which takes less than
complete surrender Of the life
seems small and craven. That which
fully captures mind and soul is of
such a quality that, however humble
the personality, that personality is
sanctified, enlarged, and destined
to become a world ministry.
There are those from whom
great things have been expected,
but they merely survive, they never
achieve. They disappoint h r
friends, they defeat their own des-
tiny, because they never find a
fed wide enough to extend them
morally and intellectually; or they
find the field, only to turn back in
to less exacting places. Others who
never led their college classes, who
never received the honors, are num-
bered with the good and great be-
cause they heard a cal, because
they gave answer to a summons
that demanded nothing less than
their noblest and best. In an un-
couth, unframed individual who is
