Scientists Discover
Two Lost Elements
atomic Barrage Produces Missing
Factors.

BERKELEY, CALF. - Two ra-
dioactive elements that existed two
billion years ago were reported re-
discovered by cyclotronic lombard
ment.
Elements IS and 81, the missing
links" in the periodic table of ele-
ments, have been created syntheti-
cally by cyclotron and atomic oven
transmutation for the first time.
The discoveries end a 75-year
search for the key to one of the
fundamental mysteries of science.
DR.. Glenn T. Seaborg and DR.. AL
bert Ghiorso of the University of
California said the two missing"
elements, now called astatine and
francium, existed in nature more
than two billion years ago but de-
cayed into other elements.
Research that went into the dis
covery of the missing elements,
carried out independently by two
groups of scientists, was reported
in the current issue of Physical
Review.
ONoCOAS OdAo lllC SJC4OIlO Qio-
covery accounted for the missing
fourth series of heavy radioactive
elements in the periodic table,
which has been named the 'nep-
tunium" series since it has the long
est period of radioactivity of any Of
the other elements in the series.
The other series contain elements
in the uranium, thorium and actin
ium groupings-all found previous
ly in nature or in the laboratory.
Seaborg said the inability of sci
entists to find elements IS and 81
had been n of sciences mysteries
since the table of elements was es-
tablished in 1871. The table lists
elements in the order of their
atomic weight" determined by
the number of protons in the nuclei.
He explained the neptunium was
the father" of the series and of the
two elements. Like all radioactive
elements, they decayed at a fixed
rate which in the course of millions
of years wiped them out of exist
ence, he said.

LEGION AUXILIARY WOMEN

their work for the welfare of dis
abled war veterans during the past
year, according to Mrs. Minnie Fen

Mobilization chairmen of the local
Auxiliary unit.
Aid was extended to 242,96S vet
Grams of both wars and to 12,42S
families of veterans.
Through 1853 training courses con
Quoted in As states, the Auxiliary
trained more than 5000 of its men,
bers for special volunteer work in
veterans hospitals. These women
gave a total of 3S2,35S hours of
service in the hospitals, performing
a wide variety of services for the
disabled men not provided for by
the government.
At Christmas time, gift shops were
operated by the Auxiliary in Ill
veterans hospitals. These shops
gave the hospitalized veterans oppor-
tunity to select gifts for their fam
lilies even though they have no
money. All gifts were provided free
by the Auxiliary, and were wrapped
and mailed by Auxiliary workers.
Ir addition to enabling the hospital
patients to share in the joy of
Christmas giving, the Auxiliary join
ed with the American Legion in
providing Christmas gifts for all
veterans forced to spend the holt
days in a hospital.
A total of $121, 366.86 was realiz-
ed by disabled veterans from handi-
craft articles made by them in craft
and hobby shops and sold by the
Auxiliary.
The A~uxiliary's entire program
for the welfare of the disabled vet

improved this year, said Mrs. Minnie
