nine months of the year it was
bound to happen. Just why human
beings will leave a comfortable

of getting tangled up with long
wooden runners attached to their

and it one wants to get it down his

be allowed to do so, This is de-
mocracy and a man should be per-
mitted his idiosyncracies if they
do not crate too harshly on the

The General Electric Company
has demonstrated that snow can
be produced by tossing carbon do
Xide into the atmosphere. Storm
clouds can be bombarded before
they reach great cities and the
snow dropped on the country areas;
perhaps it is only a step to pre-
cipitating rain in drought times

His first big job is the forthcoming Big
Four conference on Germany in Moscow,

AS he has declared his intention TO fol-

cessor, James F. Byrnes, he is counting
on Senator Vandenberg and Senator Con-
nally, who were al Mr.. Byrnes right hand

Senator Vandenberg is a leader in the

TOO MANY STRIKES

Coal Age has published an extremely
revealing popular opinion poll conducted
among miners in the Middle West, East
ern and Southern coal regions by an ex-
pert from the McGraw-Hill research or
ganization. According 10 this poll, S.
per cent Of the miners queried felt that
union members should vote secretly on
future strike calls. The majority Of miners
were not in favor Of government domino
lion Of contract settlements. And 60 per
cent said there have been too many work
~stoppages in the past five years.
The most Interesting fact developed by
these expressions Of opinion is that the
miners, by and large, are not as favorable
to continued one-man dictatorship Of their
union as many people have believed. Their
opinion on the vital subject Of work STOP
pages is especially significant. The in
dividual miner, when he adds up the
wages lost by strikes, has every right
to wonder if they were northumberland
il The wiser course is moi 10 continue pro.

heads and management goes on.
This poll also provides the seeds fol

ATOMIC AND VETO ISSUE

Despite rumors TO the contrary, the
United States has not agreed TO a com
promise on the veto issue, particularly as
il applies TO atomic energy control. In
dispatch from Lake Success. a Christian
Science Monitor correspondent declares
the chief obstacle 10 substantial modifica-
ton of the United States control plan is
the altitude of the Senate" We quote:
"A considerable majority Of the Senate's
members, il is reported by sources close TO
the American delegation 10 the United Ma
lions, have indicated in private CONVEX
saiion that they still are not disposed TO
accept any scheme that does not abolish
the Security Councils veto over punish
ment for violators Of the control treaty. as
first proposed by Bernard M Baruch."
The effort, therefore. is 10 devise a
formula acceptable 10 Russia which will
call for killing the veto power without
saying so in so many words. The Ameri-
can delegation is said 10 be seeking a way
10 change the form Of its plan while still
clinqing 10 its substance. Meanwhile, says
The dispatch, current reports that the
United States has agreed 10 modify its
plan are considered premature.
Certainly il is premature, as we'll as
foolish, TO count on Russia yielding a point
il worked so hard 10 get into the United
Nations Charter. If any member Of the
American group in the United Nations
organization believes the Soviet Union
would accept a vague change in form
while the substance was maintained he
is sadly mistaken. Russia put the veto
across and cannot be tricked into aban-
doning il. If the veto is 10 be eliminated
the effort must have the undivided sup
port of all other nations. Russia is strong,
but not strong enough 10 stand against
the rest Of the world.
Mr.. Baruch, though no longer on the
Atomic Energy Control Commission, is re-
ported 10 be holding fast to his original
position, 10 will, that the veto over punish
ment must be abolished by name as we'll
as by Implication.

ODD MAN OUT, by F. L. Green
Reynal & Hitchcock. STD.
When Pat stops the car outside
the mill in Belfast, Johnny,
Murphy and Nolan get out, climt
the steps talking earnestly and
cheerfuuy together, enter the
main door and disappear. That
leaves Pat alone, thinking of his
job, remembering with what in
finite pains they had planned for
this, wondering there in his lone
illness whether something has
gone wrong, then finally being
overcome by horror and despair
like a spasm of sickness" and
imagining the raid has failed.
Cashier killed in desperate
struggle" and Thieves make big
haul" the newspapers announce.
But they are not ordinary
thieves; members of a Revolu-
tionary Organization, of which
Johnny is chief, they were get
ting money for the cause.
Johnny. badly wounded, is
separated from his companions,
who report back to their head
quarters. There it is decided,
though the murder has brought
out every policeman in the
aroused city, to send rescue par
ties for the missing leader.
The story develops grippingly
and at lightning speed as Green
guides us out into the darkened
dangerous streets on the heels of
Johnny's three associates, follow
ing Dennis and his do : or : die
%searchers, and Johnny himself,
and principally on the trail OF
Agnes.
Johnny loves only the organi-
cation, but Agnes loves Johnny.
Like all the rest of them, she
fears his situation is hopeless;
he'll die of wounds before cap
ture, OF after capture, Or be
healed only to be hanged. She
intends, if she can find him. to
claim his last hours for herself;
they will be all the more precious
for coming at the end of a young
life spent in struggle against a
society which, whatever its weak
nesses, is strong enough to crush
rebellion.
Green comes remarkably close
to achieving the t%enseness which
| characterizes the writings OF
other British islanders. Liam
IO'Flaherty and Graham Greene.
On every page the interest
heightens, on every other page
there are combat, bloodshed and
death. Underlying it all are the
questions of the sanctity of the
great loves which inspires Agnes,
and the wisdom of the extreme
idealism which inspires Johnny.

called a chemical element. Famll-
lar chemical elements are iron,
copper and aluminium, which are
metals; oxygen, hydrogen and
helium, which are gases; carbon,
sulphur and phosphorus, which are
solids, but not metals; mercury
is a liquid.
Some chemical elements can be
told by their appearance, although
appearance alone is not reliable
as a final test. Copper is reddish,
aluminium is greyish, sulphur is
yellow, carbon is sometimes black,
sometimes colorless. These special
colors of some chemical elements
must not, however, be thought OF
as the colors of the individual
atoms of which they are COM
posed. The particular reddish color
of a chunk of copper is not due to
any color of the individual copper
atoms, but is caused by the special
way in which the atoms are put
together TO make the solid piece.

READY TO DIE
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Three time I have gone through
the physical experience of dying
Once, as a boy, when gored by a
dull, and lying undiscovered IN a
remote field. After I was found, a
merciful blackness enveloped me.
Years later I was caught in the
undertow at Virginia Beach when
completely spent and sure OF
drowning, John Callenbach and
two other strong swimmers res
cued me. The third time was
when I was wheeled into the op-
Grating room of a Puerto Rlcan
Hospital with an extreme attack
of mastoditis, convinced that !
would not emerge alive.
Other hairbreadth escapes I have
had = as when riding down to
Bagdad On a kelek, OR goatskin
raft, we were caught in an oft
deadly whirlpool, expecting our
frail craft to disintergrate al
every revolution. Again, during
the Graeco-Turkish war, when
Lester Briggle and I were in q
box-car in a runaway train head
ed for a precipice. Other narrow
escapes I have had, as when am
pushed by hostile Arabs in the
desert; and when fired upon by g
bandit; and when poisoned in
Kerbe1a, the Shah Moslem sacred
city in Mesopotamia.
So I have lost all fear Of death,
and have acquired a serenity OF
life. The parting of spirit from
body is nothing to dread: usually
it is painless. And to the Christian
the experience is glorified by the
faith that he is but entering upon
an eternal life, and reunion with
dear ones who have gone before,
and with Christ Himself.

it by the wonderful electron micro
scope.
We call this tiny piece of any
thing a molecule. Now the mole
cule itself is made up Of even
timer parts. In most cases, how
ever, the parts are not the same
as the matter we started with.
The parts of a carrot molecule are
mot carrot, for instance.
These parts that combine to form
molecules are called atoms. The
molecules Of some things (Water
for instance) have just two kinds
of atoms locked together. Other
materials have many different
kinds of atoms, combined accord
ing to rules of nature. We have
not yet discovered all these rules,
but we know some of them.
New molecules are continually
being discovered by chemists to
add to the thousands we already
know. But in all the woodland in
the sun. the moon and the stars
only about a hundred different
kinds of atoms have been found.
It is the way in which these atoms
form into groups that make the
great, wide, varied world we see,
and everything in it.
Now let us consider the diff
ferent kinds of atoms. Some are
very familiar to as. Every day
we see materials made up OF only
one kind of atom. The atoms OF
mercury in a thermometer are all
of one kind; they are mecury
atoms. Silver, gold and lead are

AUSTRIA AND THE FUTURE

Second in world interest only TO the
peace treaty for Germany is the treaty be-
ing drafted for Austria which, in some
three decades, has seen some Of historY's
greatest physical, political and economic
changes.
No one who has followed the disn.nl-
berment Of the Austro-H Hungarian mon
archy since World War | and the desperate
plight in which IFS people were left in
by Hitler can fail TO hope thai some Of
its former prosperity and cultural advan-
tages will be restored by action of the
Big Four.
Before World War I, the monarchy
stretched from north-central Europe to
the Adriatic, from the Swiss Alps on the
west TO the Carpathians at the border Of
Romania. More than 100000 people,
including Germans, Slavs, and Maqyars,
were joined under the House of Haps-
burg, a ruling dynasty since the 18th
century.
The treaty of Saint-Germain, which fol-
lowed defeat Of The Central Powers, left
Austria a head without a body" Paris
Of the old empire went TO the new states
Of Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Yugo-
slavia. Italy gained the Alpine region Of
the South Tyrol, bringing its boundaries
north TO the strategic Bremen pass. Hun
gary became a separate state. Around
Vienna, with its industrial concentration
and two-million population, there remain
ed a rugged, landlocked country only a
little larger than Maine. It's inhabitants,
aside from the capital, numbered about
4.5OO,OOO. Less than 9 per cent Of the new
Austria was made up Of lowland and
plain. In spite Of widespread farming the
often poor soil forced reliance on imports
for much Of the food supply.
Austria's chief resources were in the
mountains, which cover nearly three
fourths Of the total area. Hydro-electri(
power, timber, iron, magnesite, coal
copper, and zinc were factors on tht
credit side Of the economic ledger. 81
