ST. LOUIS, Dec. 28.-Microbe
hunters, using a new instrument
that weighs half a ton, now are
able to look into a whole new world
of organisms and check up on what
sight unseen-they had only
suspected it must be like.
1t is the world of the ultra
microscopic"-such as the living
particles" which cause the infec-
tions classified as virus diseases.
To expose this hidden world
scientists are using something else
they can't see-the electron.
Scientists Were Right.
DR.. Sturart Mudd, professor OF
bacteriology at the University OF
Pennsylvania, told the convention
OF American psychologists today
that photographs" taken with the
electron miscroscope prove scientists
were right in many of their reason
ings about the formerly invisible
cell structures.
He predicted the new instrument
would have a place in the advance
ment OF industry as well as science
and medicine.
The machine, which looks some
thing like a heavy punch press, was
developed in an Eastern radio lab
oratory less than a year ago.
Instead of the light source for the
ordinary microscope, it has a
vacuum tube producing a stream OF
electrons. Instead of lenses, it has

the rather common mineral uran-
1um, the heaviest of the elements
Recent studies show, DR.. Urry said
that uranium remains in solution in
sea water like salt until it blows up
Then the uranium which Is formed
sinks to the bottom.
Half of all the radium in the
world blows up and thus degenerates
into lead in 1,700 years. Due to this
fact the age of the ocean bottoms
can be calculated.
Earthquake Studies Made.
The heavy core of the earth, 1900

solid liquid, according to the evil
dence from recent earthquake stud
les presented to the association by
DR.. L. Don Leet of Harvard Uni
versity.
1t has been assumed, DR.. Leet
said, that this core must be liquid
because of the. almost complete lack
OF rigidity required at the earth's
center to account for earthquake
waves.
Recently it has been found, he
said, that when a great deal of ny.
drogen gas is absorbed into various
metals, as they would be by the tre-
mendous pressures existing at the
| heart of the planet. the metal com
pletely loses its rigidity. Iron could
be about as non-rigid as water and
yet remain iron.
If some such condition is assumed
for the center of the earth, DR.
Leet said, it will explain various
anomalies observed in earthquake

New Paralysis Evidence.
Evidence that infantile paralysis
can be compared to dysentery and
typhoid fever, in that it similarly
enters and leaves the body through
the alimentary canal, was offered
in paper by DR.. Albert B. Sabin
of the University of Cincinnati COL
lege of Medicine.
Previous theories that the virus
OF the disease enters the body
through the respiratory tract and
may be transmitted by means of
excretions from the nose and mouth
were not borne out by DR.. Sabin's
research.
Whether 1t is a water-borne dis
ease as typhoid, or is spread by flies
as dysentery, will be some OF the
lines of research in the future, DR..
Sabin said
There is every pobability," he
added, that humans may be car
riers Of the virus without showing
any evidence OF the disease"

Army 10 Farm Out
Contracts 10 Spread
Load Of Rearming
Firms to Be Encouraged
To Sublet Substantial
Ports of Their Work
By the Associated Press.

Borrowing from British expe-
rience, the War Department an
nounced yesterday that the policy
of farming out" arms contracts to
small firms would be applied vigor-
ously in this country to distribute
the defense load as widely as pos
Sible.
Holders Of defense contracts will
be encouraged, the announcement
said, to sublet substantial parts of
the work, and each will be expected
to select his own subcontractors.
- Announcing the appointment of
Joseph L. and Francis Trecker of
Milwaukee as special advisers on
farming out" methods, Robert P.
Patterson, Undersecretary of War,
said the policy would be employed
more and more" as the burden on
larger firms increases.
The British government first
turned to the farming OUT prin-
ciple, known in England as the "bits
and pieces policy, late in the sum-
mer of 1888, when the aircraft in
dustry there was asked to Sublet a
minimum of 35 per cent of its work
on government orders. Previously,
the British had placed their re-
lance for aircraft production on
the construction of new plane fac
tories together with expansion of
existing plants.
The German System.
Certain companies already had
adopted the subcontracting prin-
clple when the British government
turned to 1t. The Vickers Co., for
example, the department said, was
Utilizing about TOO small machine
shops in many parts of the country.
The announcement said Germany
80 has been applying the for
.ula with even more intensive
oroughness."
This explanation was given of the
orman system.
In connection with its rural cleo
'lhcatlon program, the German
)Vernment stimulated the sale of
ortable electric motors of / to
0 horsepower, ostensibly to pro-
lde means for the electric utiliza-
non OF feed grinders, milking ma
chimes, and other farm appliances.
AS far back as 1887, sealed crates
OF machinery were delivered to
these electrified farms, the owners
OF which were told to hold the
crates in storage as they contained
machinery for making toys or some
other similar product.
When War Began.
When the march into Poland be-
gan, instructions came to unpack
the crates and to set up the ma
cfunery. The machines turned out
to be drill press, or a punch press,
or a drop forge fooled up to pro-
duce some small product needed for
armament.
Next, supplies Of semi-finished
materials arrived at the farm and
the farmer was taught how to make
a rivet for use in airplane as
sembly. or how to punch rivet holes
IN plate for tank armor.
A War Department spokesman
said adoption Of the farming out"
principle in this country was i'm
portant as a means of bringing into
use reserves of idle equipment. In
addition, he said it was hoped it
would have the effect of preventing
me migration of workers from their
homes to the great industrial CEN
ers, thus forestalling serious hous-
1g shortages.
Discussing the Trecker appoint
tents, officials said the brothers
ould serve as dollar-a-year men

have the best farming-out rec

After those games the two
leaders will have only four games
left between them. The men of
Mckechnie can knock the race
into a cooked hat by sweeping the
series or winning two out of
three.
As far as the Cubs. Giants, Pr

they can be written out of the
