CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 25.-
P)-A breach in the big Cooper
River bridge, caused when a 49,

Children'S Books

Buying books for their youngsters
often presents a bewildering prob
lem to parents. There are so many
and such varied kinds on display in

lists have come to the rescue and
suggest something like this: For a
tw~o-year-old get picture books about
objects he knows, such as a%irplanes,
engines, cars and other children.
Four-year-olds generally like stories
about things that are happening
around them every day. Fairy tales

SALT LAKE CITY. - An ordi-

but when it contains not just
lunch but the teeth to eat it with,
that's catastrophy.
And that's precisely what hap
pened to Andrew Bennion of Muir

ly with Deputy Sheriff German
Dean to help recover his loss. The
hunt persisted for three hours,
and when recovery was made it
was only partial. The lunch had
reused the appetite of the teen-age

SOap-Soak for Deep Soil

1t can't be said too often-the best
way to remove soil streaks on
seams of underwear and girdles,
and the inside of neckbands and COL
lars, is to dampen the fabric and rub
soap directly on the soiled places,
allowing it to remain awhile before
popping into the tub. For especial
ly stubborn soil, gentle rubbing with
a brush is easier on the fabric than
a washboard. And, of course, fire.
quent washing will prevent soil from
becoming too deeply imbedded in
the fibres.

Atom Aid to
Cooperation
Compton Says Brotherhood
Is Necessary to Survival
In This New Age.

NEW YORK. - The development
of atomic energy has accelerated
certain human trends" toward in
creased cooperation, education in
understanding others and seeking OF
common detectives for all mankind,
DR.. Arthur H. Compton, atomic
physicist and co-chairman of the
national conference of Christian and
Jews declared here.
DR.. Compton stressed the impor-
lance of recognizing these trends
and adjusting to them, adding that
brotherhood is a necessary con-
comitant to survival in the atomic
age" He spoke at a luncheon held
in the Hotel Biltmore for the cab
met and executive committee of the
conference.
Sees Wide Use of Atom.
No nation can afford to be with
out atomic energy, since it will
probably eventually become an ex-
tremely cheap source of power, Dr..
Compton asserted. Already atomic
energy in controlled form has been
used to produce plutonium 10000
times more efficiently than any
electrical method devised before"
Noting possibilities for medical
and scientific research through the
artificial radiation of matter, DR..
Compton said that every important
nation must, for its economic de-
velopment and welfare, exploit
atomic energy on a controlled basis.
"As we consider then the needs
of the atomic world, it is clear that
our need is that of cooperation"
he declared. "a society that is be-
coming more and more COM
pick needs specialists, and those
specialists have to work together
That is the direction in which mod
ern society is evolving"
Defines detectives.
In such a society the develop
ment of antagonism has as a corol-
larry the development of tragic
weaknesses" he held. Therefore, he
added, the second trend toward
learning to live together involves
learning to understand n another,
and leads directly to the third trend,
the discovery of united detectives
toward which all mankind can work.
In wartime these detectives were
obvious, he said, but in peacetime
they are harder to find. He defined
them as detectives that will enable
the individual to contribute most eff
~fciently to the common welfare,
with the most important being elimi-
nation of war.
"You cannot have freedom unless
you know what the values are that
you want, and unless you know
how to work effectively to secur
them," he said. THAT is the task
both of religion and of the national
conference of Christians and Jews"
