the -Ferdson- High gym Friday
night, instead of making the long
hike to the Michigan State campus.
You can count on it, too, they're
going to dash for seats Friday
night. Melvindale puts an unde-
feated record of IS consecutive
games at stake. st. Theresa

: UNLUCKY IN DRAW

The Tractors have hit the semi
finals II times in - years. Yet
they never have won the state flag.
This year, Fordson again has a
powerhouse. but it was far from
lucky in the regional draw.
Fordson to win honors on its
home grounds must knock off
three teams. The Tractors start
with DeLaSalle Thursday; play
River Rouge, if successful, Friday
and then meet either Ford Trade,
Lincoln Park or Dearborn Satur-
day, providing, of course, they're
still around.
The Class A draw at Ferndale
High also is set. Teams playing
at the North Woodward suburb
will start tomorrow. then lay off
Thursday, finishing Friday and
Saturday.
Top flight games will pit Hazel
Park with Port Huron, Crosse
Pointe with Royal Oak. Mt. Glenn
ems with Ferndale. Pontiac drew
a first round bye.

Discovers
Cousin of
RadiuIHl

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-Discovery
by Finnish chemist of element
237. a new cousin Of radium. which
may open for scientists another
avenue for the search Of atomic
power. was revealed today.
DR.. Walther. VAIL of the Uni
versity of HelSingfors, despite the
serious interference by war in
FinlandS scientific activities, sue
ceeded in reporting his discovery
TO DR.. Alfred c. Lane, chairman
of the national research committee
on measurement of geologic time,
Washington.
Just as the late Madam Curie
discovered radium, and paved the
way forDthe discoveries of thorium
and actinium. so Doctor Vail has
found a totally new substance, but
of akin properties.
Such elements are called radio
active. because like radium they
hurl out rays of powerful energy,
and in doing so change themselves
into other elements. Thus. series
or family-trees of energy produc-
ing chemical elements are formed
in successive steps.
Radium is a family descendent
from a heavier element, uranium,
and after many explosive changes,
ends up by turning into dull lead.
Doctor Vail was sorting out,
by their weights. atoms of some
old rock dust in an apparatus
called mass spccirograph,' - that
separates material particles by
magnetic forces.

Henri Bergson.
Philosopher,
Dies at g
International News Service Cable


VICHY, Jan. 6.-Henri Bergson,
one of the worlds most eminent
philosophers, died in Paris yester-
day at the age Of 81
The famous French SCHOLAR, who
founded a school O. philosophy
that opposes the concept OF me-
chanical evolution and concerns
itself with the question OF eter-
nifty. came into conflict with
Frances new racial laws in the
closing weeks of his life.
He was an honoreds professor
at the College de France, which
had been ordered under the new
laws of the Petain government
TO purge" itself Of its Jewish
faculty members.
The authorities, however. ex-
empted Bergson because OF his
worldwide fame. But the aged
philosopher refused to accept the
exemption and remained in Ger
man-occupied Paris.
Nevertheless, the French educa-
ton minister, who had studied
under Bergson, Sent telegram of
coincidence to his daughters, say
ing;
with grievous pain ! learn
that my master and my elected
friend Ia no more. At the end
OF the sufferings and MORNINGS
of the year just past and on the
eve OF the resurrectio on of
France, we assure you OF our
deep sympathy In remembrance
OF the man who was one OF the
heralds and one of the makers
OF the French resurrection"
