Green Light Alters Meter Measurement
 Scientists Change
 Gold 10 Mercury

Berkeley. Cal, April 10-tUP)- The transformation of gold into mercury today promised to give the world a new and more accurate standard for the measurement of length.
 Two scientists disclosed that the mercury produced from this gold yields a neon-like green light ray 10 times as accurate as present scientific "yardsticks."
 The green spectroscopic ray was developed by Dr. Jacob M. Veins, staff engineer of the U. S. Navy Electronics Research Laboratory on the University of California camp us, and pr. Luis Alvarez, professor of physics and a leading atomic scientist.
 Veins and Alvarez used the uni- versity's atom smashing cyclotron to produce the new ray which they assert is accurate to two- -millionths of an inch. They have suggested 1t as replacement for cadmium red" light and other rays heretofore used Io uGIeELllIlC- IellBlu.
 The ray is produced by lombard ing aEout five milligrams of gold about a half cents worth-with neutrons to turn 1t into high-pur- ity mercury. The mercury is then vaporized and excited in a quartz tube by high frequency radio energy,
 The light from the special mer- cury glows green in contrast to the blue-green light given off by or dinary mercury. It emits light waves with very sharp crests little more than -millionths of an inch apart. This difference never varies more than fifty-billionth of an inch.
 About a dozen special quartz lamps have been built and sent to the U. s. Bureau of Standards and the Eastman Kodak Company for experimentation, the scientists said.
 In 1870, the meter was adopted as the international standard of length. Twenty-three years. later, it was decided to measure the meter in terms of cadium light rays and since then the calculation has been the practical basis for measurement.
 The new green light is 10 times as accurate as the red light originally used on the meter, the scientists said,

Sun Gases Disrupt
 Br0adcaSts

Washington, April l0-(UP)-- science found a new explanation today for the tricks that sun spots play on radio communications.
 Three scientists at the Carnegie Institution of Washington announc- ed the discovery of electrically charged gases which speed from the sun into the earths atmosphere and seriously disturb the travel of radio waves.
 The gases originate in or near sun spots and race toward the ionosphere, the upper layer of the earth's atmosphere, at about mile a-second clip, The ionosphere then undergoeS marked changes which result in the fading or disappear ance of radio signals.
 The scientists were H. w. Wells, J. w. Watts and D. E. George. Using new techniques for observing phenomena ill the atmosphere, they made their Investigations at the ionospheric laboratory at Kensing- ton, Md, during the magnetic storms which disturbed radio com munications March 25 and 26.
 They said the disruption begins when the clouds rush into the F. layer of the earth's atmosphere. The Player is layer of E electri- cally charged air which normally is steady enough to bounce radio waves downward toward the earth and thus make long distance broad- casting possible.
 But the on-ruShing clouds cause rapid changes in the height of the layer, thus changing the distances over which broadcast waves must be reflected for transmission from station to station.
 The scientists said the clouds arc not to be confused with cosnnic rays. They are the result of lombard ment of the earth'S atmosphere by bursts of electrically charged cor puscles, which are like streams of "6ust" from the sun.
 The discovery indicates that the ultra violet light coming from the sun is not the only means of pro- ducing the ionozed layers of air whose density and whose height above the earth are fundamental considerations in mans radio un- dertakings," the scientists said.

Mother Pratt" Plans Visit to Waterbury
 Interpreter of Good Will to People
 From All Lands to Speak to Bunker
 Hill Church Women April 17

Down in New York harbor stands great figure holding aloft torch as a symbol of liberty and called by many detained on Ellis Island, "The old lady in green" There is another lady on Ellis Island, an en- ergetic, untiring little person with a great heart and snapping black eyes who is almost as well known to the hundreds who pass through this United States Immigration Center as the Statue of Liberty. She is Mrs. Jennie F. Pratt, Mother Pratt" to thousands, who will speak Wednesday afternoon, April IT, at 2:30 D. m. at a women's meeting in the Bunker Hill Congregational Church.
 For over 20 years, Mrs. Pratt has been helping immigrants by caring for, and teaching their children, conducting English classes, aiding with plans for finding homes friends or work, spreading cheer and councelling in personal prob lerns. During the recent war Ellis Island became closed city. Many If its guests" were civilian aliens, German and Italian, or Chinese seamen and those of other races detained there. not because they were enemies" but for technical reasons. Mrs. Pratt spent as much physical energy as a Stevedor trav- cling among these men and boys in the massive buildings on Ellis Is- land, and tralnping about on shore as she shopped for them.
 A trip through Ellis Island with Mrs. Pratt is an eXl fence to be remembered. She is besieged on all sides by groups of people of many races with dozens of personal re- quests and problems. Tn normal times there are mothers, fathers and children with their myriad problems of broken homes.
 The work on Ellis Island began half century ago under The Board of Home Missions. In the past g years, Mrs. Pratt has been their able representative and an inter- preter of good will to people from all lands.
 Her parents were born in Genoa, Italy. A Bible place in the hands of her father when he arrived led to his conversion to the Protestant faith. She received her training for social work in the Baptist Wom- ems Missionary TYaining School in Chicago and the Boston School of Social Work. She also took a four year course at Rutgers University in mental hygiene. Mrs. Pratt's husband served in World War I and Ter only son in World War II.
