the page, one Of Tony, another

print Of Chris and herself at the

Ragidly Paula scanned the
story, written under Bill jerks

Then, keeping we'll within the
libel laws, jerks managed to
imply that Van Horn was at
fault; that an impartial man in
the presidents chair would soon
settle the quarrel.
Paula threw down the paper
in disgust and fled from the
house to escape an avalanche of
queries from the other girls.
The air was fresh and warm
after the rain. Groups Of students
stood about the campus talking,
and the focal point of each
group was a tabloid newspaper.
In passing, Paula heard q
young man exclaim: I'D like to
come back here next year, but

DR.. Stands was a member of the
American Orthopedic Association, of
which he was president in 1912: the
Southern Surgical Association, the
Virginia State Medical Society, the
Washington Academy of Sciences
and the Cosmos Club. He contrib

China'S newly-appointed Minister
of Foreign Affairs, DR.. Quo Tai-chi,
said today after calls on President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Hull that he was very much en-
couraged over prospects of Chinese
American cooperation.
He told reporters he had thanked
the President for what the United
States has done for us and for ever
increasing measures of assistance" 4"
To a question whether the Presi-
dent appeared interested in helping
China, the foreign minister re-
piled:
"Oh, yes, he has map of the
world before him, and he sees China
must be helped as we'll as Britain. "
DR.. Quo expressed qualification over
a $4,000 900 program of American
aid recently announced.
The Chinese diplomat expressed
the view that the United States
would cooperate in establishing a
rail route into China from Burma,
calling the road a symbol of British,
American and Chinese cooperation
DR.. Quo confidently predicted that
both China and Great Britain would
come through" their present con-
f1icts and said he believed Germany
would not attempt a land invasion
of the British Isles.

MilIkan was essentially as follows:
The principal elements found in
the vast voids between the stars are
helium. carbon and nitrogen.
When an atom of one of these
elements is transformed entirely
into energy-by some as yet un-
known process which cannot be
duplicated on earth-it results in
certain calculable amount of energy
as follows:
Helium, ,90O,000,000 volts; carbon,
5600,000,000 volts; nitrogen, $780,
100000 volts, oxygen, 100000, 900
volts; silicon, sl3, 200 100000 volts.
These voltages are the forces with
which electrons would be impelled
through space after such an atom
humiliation. ElectronS form an in
significant part of the mass of any
atom. DR.. Milliken assumes that a
pair of them are set free with each
explosion with essentially the entire
energy content of the annihilated
atom behind them.
Pierce Magnetic Field.
Now, he points out, the energy Of
incoming cosmic rays approaches
very closely these limits, arriving at
the top of the atmosphere with
forces ranging between 000,000,0 900
and 15.00O0O0,000 electron volts.
But in order to reach the outer
atmosphere they must pass through
the earth's magnetic field Electrons
are tiny particles of negative elec-
tricity which would be strongly de-
flected toward the magnetic poles.
Calculations show, DR.. Milliken
said. that the less the energy the
greater the detection so that there
must be in India between the mag
netic equator and magnetic latitude
20 degrees north plateau of un-
changing cosmic ray intensity with
latitude; another such plateau be-
tween the latitudes of entrance of
the bands due to silicon and oxygen
atoms; third between the great
band produced by the annihilation
of carbon. nitrogen and oxygen
atoms: and a fourth north of Bis
mark, N. Oak, where as the observer
goes northWard the helium band
should first be able to get vertically
through the blocking effect of the
earth'S magnetic field and should
then be able to enter the earth in
full strength at all more northerly
latitudes."
Tests Made in India.
This means, he said, that the cos
mic rays are hitting the earth in a
great five-band spectrum. like a
spectrum of light. All these bands
are found, roughly, at least, in the
predicted ATTITUDES. and of the right
orders of intenSities.
Tests made in India. in co-opera-
ton with the Carnegie Institution
of Washington and the Indian Me-

the hypothesis.

along with it through vast void

the Milky Way galaxy. an aggre-
CATION of stars so vast that 1t re-
quires about 10000 years for light,
moving at 10000 miles second, to
reach this planet. Beyond it in
every direction lies a gulf of empty
space which light crosses in a mil
lion years. Across this gulf are
similar star systems. revolving about
their centers in time periods OF
approximately 100000 years. They
are the spiral nebulae." The Milky
Way system itself is a spiral nebula.
Photographed with a giant tele-
scope from a million light years
away it would look like a Fourth Of
July pin wheel.
Scientists Get Surprise.
Dr. Mayal and his associates were
able to measure the speeds at which
two of the nearest of these pin
wheels were whirling Theoretically
they should revolve fastest where
there is the greatest concentration
of matter and, to judge from the
photographs, this would seem to be
at the center where the bright light,
and hence presumably, the greatest
number of stars, are massed.
Greatly to their surprise the meas
urements showed this assumption
was not true. The nebulae were
whirling very rapidly at their CEN
terS, then slowed down almost to a
Standstill, and then increased in
speed out to their outermost visible
limits Black voids between the
fiery arms of the pin wheel, where
it was assumed there were no stars
at all, proved from the speed of
their revolution to be among the
heaviest portions of the galaxy.
DR.. Mayall and his associates tried
to fit the Milky Way galaxy TO this
model. They found, from what is
known of the speeds of various re-
gionS approaching the eternally in
visible center, that it corresponded
very nicely, but that the solar sys-
tenn fell in region which could
not be detected in the distant star
centers.
Mans Sphere Rather Empty.
From this model it should lie about
as far beyond the visible rim of the
spiral as this rim itself lies beyond
the center. To an observer in some
other star system there would be
only empty blackness in the region
Of space lit by the sun and all the
other stars within a span of about
$4,000 light years. The nearest star
to the sun is about 5 light years
away.
This indicates that man lives in
a relatively empty part of space,
like pioneer in an unsettled con-
tinent. Yet so strong are the bonds
OF gravity tying the solar system to
the galaxy that, from all indications.
they never can be broken.
DR.. Mayall also described expert
ments undertaken jointly by him.

Millions of such galaxies are
known, but out of 1000 studied by
the astronomers only one had the
proper orientation and tilt in the
direction of the earth so that the di-
rection of its movement could be
detected-but since all look alike.
they believe that their conclusions
are valid for all the others, and also
for the Milky Way system. The

r. A. F. Planes Raid
German BattIeships
18th Time in Month

In Brest Horbor
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASsoclated PresS.
- LONDON, April 29.-The r. A. r.
raided the Nazi battleships Scharn-
horst and GneiSenau at Brest last
night for the 18th time in a month,
and well-informed source said the
vessels still were in the French port
because they were so badly damaged
the Germans couldn't move them.
The British officially have claimed
only one hit on one of the 10000
ton memo war, but this source said
their continued presence In a port
so accessible to the r. A. F. was
proof enough that there had been
more.
The likely thing for the Germans
to do, he asserted, would be to move
the two powerful surface raiders the
minute the British showed they
knew where the ships we're. He
recalled that the German cruiser
Hipper disappeared" from Brest
after she was bombed a second time
by the r. A. F. on March 2.
Several Air Ministry communiques
have claimed that British bombs
straddled the warships, one of which
is in drydock and the other tied up
beside a wharf
Military quarters reckoned that a
nearby hit on dock would be al
most as effective as a direct hit.
Or hit on barracks, it was argued,
might wipe out essential crewmen.
Germans Plaster Plymouth.
The German air force. in turn,
concentrated the weight of its night
raiding upon Plymouth with a two
hour attack in which the govern
ment said some fires were started,
but casualties are not believed to
have been heavy"
The German night activities ex-
tended as far north as South Wales
and along the east coast over East
Anglia One invading bomber was
reported destroyed
Thousands of fire and oil bombs
were showered by the Germans on
Plymouth.
Fourth Raid in Seven Nights.
The raid was the fourth on that
southwestern naval base in the last
seven nights. but it was described as
less severe than the preceding ones.
This latest assault came only a
few hours after the victims Of the
three other raids had been buried in
a communal grave.

Defense Production
Described as Miracle
By n. A. N. President
Fuller Says U. S. Will Be
Arsenal of the World
BY End Of 1912
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-Amer-
lean industry has performed mod
ern miracle of defense, declares
President Walter Fuller of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
Through the voluntary co-opera-
hon of free men, we have made more
progress in 10 months than Hitler
did in two and half years with his
much-vaunted dictated economy"
Addressing 500 industrialists from
this heart of the arsenal region
last night, the head of the Curtis
Publishing Co. pointed out that in
dustry had absorbed $4,000 900, 900
In defense orders in less than a year
and placed 80 per cent of them in
production
And our February survey shows
that 86 per cent of the manufactur-
ers expect to deliver on or before
contract delivery date"
Arsenal by 1912 Predicted.
BY the end of 1912, Mr.. Fuller
stated, America will be the unsur-
passed arsenal of the world"
And fortunately so, he continued.
Declarations that there shall be
no war, and no A. E. F. fade into
the distance. Many people are say
ing that the war nobody wants is
upon us. Shooting depends only
upon when some foreign power
wants to pull the trigger,
Does this shock you? America
needs to be shocked. America needs
to be brought up short against the
stark realism of what is going on
about us.
I'VE need to engage in some of
Winston Churchills straight-from-
the shoulder blood, sweat and tears
frankness lest we have no morale
like Italy; or, worse, no preparedness,
like France.
God give us candor to deal with
our faults as we'll as strength to de-
feat our foes"
Defense Strikes Assailed.
Declaring that "propagandlzlng
ourselves into believing that strikes
in defense industries don't amount
to much is to invite national trag-
edy," Mr.. Fuller said strikes in de-
fense plants alone during the first
three months this year lost 1,577,0l6
man-days of production.
TT all depends on what you mean
BY much" he told an N. A. NJ. De-
fense Clinic. Perhaps the mothers
and fathers of draftees will answer
that question for us when they learn
that the time lost has been enough
to equip 1.4O2, ,480 American boys
with the latest Garand rifles or to
provide more than 5,O0O,OOOOOO
rounds of ammunition.
While strikes are admittedly the
major bottleneck in defense con-
tinued the manufacturers head,
I'VE find a disposition, strangely
reminiscent of the entire past dec
ade, to overlook all faults except
those which can be laid at the
doorstep of industry and manage
ment."
Wage Ceiling Urged.
He stated powers of the Once OF
Production Management should be
"revived and extended" to end
confusion of varying regulations that
have caught defense industry in a
squeeze play" and that a ceiling"
must be fixed on wages if industry
was to meet proposed Government
control of prices.
Asserting that the s40,000,0OO,OO
appropriated for defense since last
summer would provide more than
100000 man-years of work, Mr..
Fuller said the defense job cannot
be done on 40-hour week and that
the Navy was pointing the way by
working 45 hours.
