SCIENCE:
U-235


scientists believe to be vastly more
than any other now known, a newly
discovered natural substance has
been discovered and named-U-235.
Physicists at the University of Min
nesota and Columbia university
are responsible for most of the prog
ress made in the isolation and ex-
traction of the substance.
U-235 is a powerful source of radi-
alton, resembling radium in this re-
spect, but it is tremendously more
powerful than radium. A minute
fraction of a gram of U-235 was OBJ
tanned last February by Prof. Alfred
o. Nier in University of Minnesota
laboratory. He sent this to Column
bia where scientists placed one ten
millionth of gram in their atom
smasher and brought out the sub
stances potentialities.
Biggest difficulty confronting de-
velopment of U-235 is the work and
cost involved in extracting it from
uranium, a rare substance itself,
which first must be extracted from
pitchblende, the dark mineral which
is also the source of radium.
It is reckoned that one pound of
the new substance would be 80, 000,-
00O times as powerful as the same
amount of dynamite. Just what uses
it could be put to depend upon its
development, say engineers who es-
tim ate that il NAV be 10 wears be-
fore 10 pounds of U-235 can be ex-
tracted from its source and put to
practical use.

THE WAR:
Bigger and WOrser

Domestic, presidential politics
were driven, pro tenn, into second
place by the march of Mars. The
Germans added Holland, Bel

victims, which now includes Czechs,
Poles, Morse, and (according to
some) the Austrians.
Against the Dutch and Belgians,
Hitler used much of the Morse blitz-
krieg buildup. This included the big
Junkers air transports go men per
ship, parachute jumpers all armed
to the teeth, aerial bombardment of
enemy" air fields and concentra-
ton centers, and mass movements
of infantry, against the frontiers, by
land. The French came to the as
sistance of Belgium, as in 1914, and
the English crossed the channel to
Holland-that same channel that
Hitler himself would so much like to
cross, for poke at John Bulls mid

Luxembourg did not resist (again
like 1910, but Belgium and Holland
did. The Belgian army was con-

RIGHT ON FOREIGN FORECAST

No matter what they may think
of Roosevelt's domestic policies or
politics, some of his severest critics
give him credit for being absolutely
right on foreign strategy.
Exactly two years ago the Presi-
dent told his cabinet in categoric
terms that he was convinced war
was unacceptable in Europe, and that
the results would be serious in the
extreme for the democracies.
Last summer, also, he informed
congressional leaders that war was
inevitable in. the autumn-and got
scoffed at for his warning.
In view of the Presidents con-
sistent record for accuracy on
things international, his present
views are very much worth record
ing.
BY nature, Roosevelt is an op-
timist. But regarding the present
allied position he is not optimistic.
In fact, he is inclined to think that
the allies are in for a defeat, that
their situation is much more seri-
Gus than the American public re-
allies.
Naturally, the President is not ex-
pressing these views publicly. Also
they are subject to change. But the
close study he is giving to the Mon
roe Doctrine, the defense of the
American continent, and especially
to the possibility of enemy air
bases in Iceland, Mexico, and
around Panama, all indicate that
he is figuring on the distinct pos
sibility of crushing allied defeat.

RED HERRING

One of the weapons of modern
war is the red herring. Honor has
departed from warfare. The Nazis
used subterfuge to get into Norway,
German aviators dressed in Dutch
uniforms to land in Holland. Italy
Unanswered in the Mediterranean
to keep the British from sending too
many ships to Scandinavia. Musso-
lini was the red herring.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable
to figure that if Germany ever want
ed to land troops in the Western
hemisphere, Japan would be the red
herring, would send her fleet to-
ward Hawaii. Probably she would
not land in Hawaii, but merely ma
neuver enough to keep the U. S.
fleet in the Pacific, prevent it from
protecting the Atlantic coast.
At present only four cruisers, plus
one small airplane carrier and some
decrepit destroyers, guard the At
lantic. Before the Pacific fleet could
return through Panama to the At
lantic, Germany could land all the
troops she wanted in Trinidad, or
Puerto Rico, or the northern tip OF
South America.
Military minds calculate that Ger
man troops even could be landed in
Newfoundland, which has, at Bot
wood, one of the best airports in
the world. And from Botwood, they
could land in Maine about as fast
as U. S. forces could concentrate
against them.
Germany, however, is not likely
to bother with New England. Far
weather., far more important are
the oil fields of Venezuela, the tropi-
cal plantations of Brazil, the wheat
fields of Argentina. Here there are
large groups of German and Italian
settlers.
Important fact: The Low Coun-
tries now invaded by Hitler are
among the most densely populated
in the world, have no raw materials.
Outside of Africa, the wealthiest raw
material area in the world, also the
least populated, lies under the Mon
roe Doctrine.

NelU School Meets
Educators Dream
Equipped With All Modern
COnUeniences.

DYERSBURG, TENN.-A far cry
from the little red schoolhouse is the
new $780,, 900 Dyersburg high school
complete with photo-electric cells,
inter-room communications, hospi-
tai clinic and everything else educa-
tors and scientists have dreamed of
for years.
The 46-room building is construct
ed in the latest style, with sound
proof ceilings in classrooms, corri-
doris and the library, glass bricks on
the stairways to give light, and a
75O-seat auditorium, comparable
with the best theaters.
To save students from running
back and forth with notes from the
main office a radio system has been
provided. Through it the principal
can speak to any classroom and can
even tune in to see what lesson is
being taught-or if the students are
throwing books around or tearing
up the streamlined desks. ''Elec-
trio eyes" control lighting in the IL
brary.
The departments for domestic
science and manual training are
fully equipped There is a model
apartment, complete in every re-
spect, seven individual kitchens
with built-in sinks and stoves, and
clinic consisting of two rooms with
standard hospital beds and medical
equipment. The library will accom-
modate 300 pupils at time and the
adjoining music room is sound
PROCEED.
The school, three stories high, is
constructed of reinforced concrete
with a white brick exterior. 1t pro-
vides ample and comfortable ac-
commodations for 1000 students.
Even the interior painting carries
out the ultra-modern note of the
streamlined architectural style.
