uranium in a terrific explosion. But this did not happen. The results were anything but spectacular. Then Dr. Niels Bohr in Copenhagen and Dr. J. A. Wheeler at Princeton offered an ex- planation. They said a chain reaction might occur if the scientists used pure U-235, the form of uranium that Dr. Dempster at Chicago University had reported upon. Ordinary uranium con tairs U-2S4, form of the metal 234 times heavier than hydrogen: U-238, which is 238 times heavier than hy- drogen, and U.235. U-235 acts as a fuse to light the fire, but the fire is quenched by U-23S and U-2S4.

I never feel right about stafE- ing a new picture until I see Charley come int my dremlue- room with his trowel. his bucket of putty, and his satchel fun Of sandpaper. plastic wood, and no- vocaine. His biggest problem is what the directors call, Doing something about that noser' At first he tried camoufiaging 1t with dead branches and leaves, but the birds flying in and out used to interfere with the sound track. By now he's more or less resigned to it. He slaps a little makeup on the sides and we all just try to pretend that it isn't really there.
 But since the news of the atomic bomb, Charley seems lit- tie happier. I think he's consider ing blasting.
 But he is fairly content with his assignment of making up my face q guess he can use the overtin1e) and, except for occasional mo- ments of weakness when he shows the white feather and runs to his boss, Walt Westmore, yelling, I can't stand it! I can't stand itl" and threatens to turn in his pow der puff, he is a good husband and solid citizer. Charley is fifty-six years old and has been putting goo on actors for the past fourteen. All of which goes to prove that if you go at it right, you can make a pretty good ca- reer out of pan-handling.
