Gated the explorers into the
realm of microscopy are still
alive.
Whether they have actually
succeeded in getting their sphere
small enough to enter an atom
is, Of course, undetermined. Be-
fore starting on the epoch-mak-
ing voyage" DR.. Kopak told
fellow scientists:
I'VE hope to become so tiny
that an atom will seem as
large as the world does to
normal persons. What we will
Finland whether we can
come back with our discoveries
is another matter"
Will DR.. Kopak and his two
passengers return to the world
of men from their journey into
the Lincoln penny? To find out
is easy. Just follow Brick Brad
ford in the comic pages of The
Washington Times. Turn to the
comic pages now and see what
DR.. Kopak and Bradford have
seen so far in the kingdom Of
the atom.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Faint
impulses received today on the
most sensitive radio apparatus in
the world were believed by scien-
lists to prove that man has sue
ceeded in exploring the atom.
Physicists and biologists stand

the coin, they declared, is o steel

AS soon as the patient is given
permission to try to use his mus
Giles, the reconstruction begins.
The simplest movements afford
exercise for the paralytic. The
main thing, according to William
H. Cranker, who is an authority
on corrective exercise of this type,
Is to encourage the child to do as
many things as possible for him.
Let him move himself from the
chair, pick himself up if he falls.
And all the time be on guard to
see that he does not overdo, for
five minutes exercise on his part
is equal to an hour for the normal
child.
Mr.. Cranker is convinced there
is no case which cannot be helped
by treatment. The object in ex-
ercise is to develop the muscles
which have been weakened by
the disease.
The child who throws his leg
Sideward as he walks is using the
strong muscles and failing to use
the weak, antagoniStic muscles.
For these cases Mr.. Cranker rec
ommendS bicycling as the best
possible exercise.
In pedaling, the legs are forced
to move in correct position and
the weak muscle is put to work.
At first a stationary bicycle is
used and the pedals are rotated
for the child in passive exercise.
Gradually he will be able to turn
the pedals without assistance.
Mr.. Cranker, who recently made
a gift Of bicycles to the patients
at Warm Springs, explains that
pedaling works the same muscles
as walking, and thus helps the
child learn to walk again.
Swimming
Swimming is the universal exer.
else for the paralysis patient. The
buoyancy of the water eliminates
friction and allows free use Of the
limbs.

be as active as the normal child

WITH the great powers totterins
w on the brink of hoStilities to
more lottery extent than usual; with
the Spaniards still willing to fight to
the last Italian from Brother Musso-
lini's loan collection; with China
battered to a bloody hash-meat
in what would closely resemble a
war if only Japan had so declared
it, which must indeed be gratifying
to the ghosts of the thousands al
ready slain and the homeless ref
ugees from ruined cities-this
seems mighty good time for us to
keep our shirt on.
Kindly recall that other historic
occasion when Uncle Sam felt called
upon to hop into mess cooked up
by foreign nations and, as result,
not only lost his shirt, but has never
since been able to collect the laun-
dry bills for washing the said shirt.
This. if you get the drift, is subtle
reference to those defaulted Euro
pean debts.
Let us, therefore, highly resolve
that, no matter how great the pres
sure from within or without-mainly
it'll be, as was the case before from
without-we' keep the old shirt on.
Classifying Bores.
I'VE been classifying bores. Class
L B bores are those still using the
lapel clutch or buttonhole grapple,
whereas a class A bore is one whose
boast is that he never lays finger
on you-just holds the victim by
psychic power.
Lately I've met what should call
a super A type, the same being
gentleman who, in addition to hav-
ing perfect technique otherwise, had
been imbibing garlic to excess-and
didn't care who knew it. When f.
nally rescued, they had to use a
pulmotor on me.
Meeting this champion reminded
me of what I heard the late Wilson
Miner say to a gentleman who in
sisted on boring Wilson while suf-
fused with the afterglow brought on
by combining bourbon whisky and
Bermuda onions in his diet. His
hiccoughs were not only frequent
but had echoes to them.
Finally, when Wilson was practi-
cally ready for artificial respiration
to be applied, he said:
'.Dear sir, your breath would start
the windmills turning in an old
Dutch painting"
Typical Texans.
r USED to think typical Texan
l. was one who said he was going
to send you a ten-gallon hat and
then didn't do it. But he is SUBJ
species.
A really orthodox Texan tells you
he's giving you pair of genuine
Texas steer horns. They'll be along
as soon as he can have them
shipped. But he never ships EN-
that's what makes him typical.
So many typical Texans have vol
unteered to send me sets Of long
horns that, if all these parties were
laid end to end, you'd have one Of
the finest consecutive strings of born
liars ever seen. But they wouldn't
stay that way; they'd rise right up
and start looking for Fasteners to
promise long horns to.
Not that I'm craving any long
horns. They stretch so far from
tip to tip they make you think of a
muskellunge fisherman trying to
show you how much that biggest
one measured. If you hang them
low, they prong people in the eye.
II you hang them high, they're
chiefly useful for cobwebs to drape
on. And no self-respecting wife will
let you hang them anywhere.
