CHAPTER THREE

DIAN CAUGHT her breath, her
heart in her throat. And then, when
she saw that there wasn't going to
be a wreck after all, she slammed
shut the suitcase, picked 1t up, and
ran down the walk for all she was
worth.
She was sorry she had hurt Joe
and apparently the shoe had hit
him on the back Of the head-bHt
there was no time to lose. Making
him stop had been absolutely nee
essary. She simply had to get away
before Aunt Martha returned.
Aunt Martha was a determined
person, and there would be a scene
and arguments. And she was sick
OF arguments-of going around
and around in circles. saying the
same things over and over, and
getting nowhere at all. Even as she
ran out into the street with the
suitcase, Dian knew that she would
have 10 deal with her Aunt Martha
sooner or later, but she was in no
mood for that sort Of thing now.
The farm was calling! The farm
--peace-quiet-a chance to think
calmly and sanely. And she had to
get out there as quickly as posi-
bic. Everything was set! Here was
good old Joe Algood and his road
ster. She hoped she hadn't hurt him
so badly he couldn't drive. But even
so-she could drive.
She dashed across the street and
stopped, breathless, beside the car
she had forced to come to a stand
still-almost nudging the bark OF
the large elm tree.
Joe Algood" she cried. why
on earth didn't you stop when I
called?"
The man in the car groaned. He
was bent over, one hand pressed
against the back Of his head.
"Oh, did 1 hurt you that badly"
Dian cried solicitously.
Did you?" said the man in the
roadster. What in the devil hap
pened, anyway"
I-I-hit you with my shoe"
said Dian.
WHAT"
The man Strengthened up and
Jaw Dian. He gasped, SO did Dian.
The man in the roadster was a
total stranger. Dian had never In
all her life seen him before.
It took some seconds for either
Dian or the man to recover suffi-
GENTLY from the shock to speak CO.
herently. The man was the first to
locate his voice.
do you mean TO stand there and
tell me you deliberately hit me?"
he demanded.

terribly sorry"
"You should bew the man

"A lot Of good that does" The
young man got out OF the car and
walked about looking it over. "A

EIectrons Shown
in New Microscope

CHICAGO-UP-A new science
will make its debut as some 200
"electron microscopists" convened
for their first national symposium
at the Second Biennial National
Industrial Chemical Conference and
Expedition. More than 40 labora-
tories are now using the electron
microscope, mainly in war work.
Extending mans vision into the
most minute details Of organisms
heretofore considered "submicro-
scopic," this new instrument of sci,
ence permits manifestations of
more than 100000, compared to a
maximum OF 1900 through the

The underlying principle Of the
electron microscope is the produc-
ton of the image by electrons strik-
ing a plate covered by tluorescent
material. Reason for the use of
electrons Is that the miscrocope u.s.
ing light waves is limited by the
fact that no particle is visible in It
il its diameter is less than one-third
the wave length OF light itself
In addition to the electron mi
croscope, several hundred micro
graphs will be on display, revealin

gigantic new Pentagon building in
Arlington has become the vital cen
ter of this country's military and
naval service.
Originally designed as a home

ing houses the major administra-
ton offices OF both combat services
as a result OF Secretary of War
/ Henry l.. Stimson's invitation TO
Secretary Of Navy Frank Knox
for the Navy to share space in the
building.
Stimson's invitation TO Knox was
based on his belief that the heads
OF the two departments ought to
| be physically close together. Slim
son felt there would be a loss Of
personal contact il high Army Of
ticials were in Arlington and high
Navy officials in Washington
across the Potomac. So he asked
Knox to move over. Knox accept
ed.
Planned for Army First
Under the original plan the Army
would have occupied the PentagOn
building exclusively. moving out of
the Munitions building on Consti-
tuition Ave. which has been the
| home of the War Department here
tofore. II had been planned to turn
the Munitions building over to the
Navy, which has been housed in
the Navy Department building ad.
joining The Munitions building
and the Navy Department build,
ing were twin emergency struc-
lures built during the last war.
Under the new arrangements the
Navy Department is given as much
space in the PentagOn building as
it had in the old Constitution Ave.

Navy taking over the old Mum,

it and also takes over the old
Navy Department building.

Overlooks the Potomac
The Navy Department occupies
the entire third floor, and part of
the second and fifth floors of the
Pentagon building.
The new home OF the fighting
services is a huge fve-sided build
ing on the hills OF Arlington over
looking the Potomac and downtown
Washington.
Each of the five outer faces Is
as long as about three ordinary city
blocks, 921 feet The inner court
Of the building is about six acres
in extent, with each side facing
the court 800 feet long.
The building, of reinforced con
crete resting on concrete piles, &c
tually consists OF two concentric
pentagonal rings" OF buildings
separated by a distance Of 40 feet
between the two rings. The inner
ring is FIVE stories high and the
outer ring four stories.
The building Is alr-cooled
throughout. There is bus ter.
minal on the lower floor. and con
veniences include eafeteriss. coffee
stands, bank and railroad ticket

Is said to be the largest in the
world, requiring the services OF 300
