Coaster Derbyists From Virginia
To Get Unofficial Second TY

Youthful coaster car enthusiasts
who live in Virginia will have two
chances to race their gravity
powered vehicles in prize laden
events again this year.
In addition to the eighth an
nual Washington Soap Box Derby,
to be held early In July. a coaster
race will be sponsored by the Ar
lington Optimist Club q month
later.
The Arlington race, while not
an official Soap Box Derby, OBJ
serves the rules of the All-Ameri-
can Derby.
The Optimist- sponsored event.
held for the first time last year. is
scheduled after the Washington
Derby, so unsuccessful contestants
in the District event will have a
second chance" provided they
live in Virginia.
Committee Cooperating.
Sergt. Frank Palmer Of the Ar
lington Police is in charge of the
Virginia race.
Robert Tbren; director of rae
ing for the Washington Derby,
said his committee is "co-operat-
ing in every way" with the Opti-
mist Club in its plans.
I'VE are very happy there is
so great an interest in coaster
car racing in Arlington" Mr..

Sergt. Palmer said boys enter

which is currently being shown at
District schools and civic organi-

Mr.. Thren urged all boys plan
ming to race to register immed-

I'VE feel that the boys will

Lecturer From
Norway Visits
The Northwest

K. B. Bergersen, Norwegian
who arrived in the U. S. from his
native country recently, has the
wisdom and maturity of an old
timer and he certainly has ac-
quired a lot of learning and ex-
perience since he visited the North
west area more than 40 years ago.
Nevertheless, today he is one of
the most ambitious students at the
special classes in Broadway High
School, Seattle.
Bergersen's new educational
urge is a result of his ambition to
learn a little English. He is a trav-
cling representative of religious
organization called The Message
of Efraim and Manasse to Scan
dinavians. Nowadays the Scan
dinavian languages are not used
SO extensively among the Scandi-
navians themselves so Bergersen
naturally has to be prepared to
speak English when he makes his
lectures, of. which the first of
series was held Sunday, October
80, in Normanna Hall, Tacoma.
He discusses religious, social and
historical topics.
Pergesen has Travelled widely
and held countless lectures in Nor
way and Sweden. He is already
acquainted with a lot of Norwe-
gians and Swedes in Everett, Sc
attic, Tacoma and Portland. His
cousin, B. Bergersen, an engineer,
lives in Tacoma. He met many of
his friends back in 1907, when he
visited Seattle and Tacoma for a
period of about five months.
He speaks both Norwegian and
Swedish fluently and plans to give
a number of lectures for the Scan
dinavian population in this area.
His lectures are free of charge
and no offers will be taken.

Swedish SeattIeite Probes Life In Studies,
Finds Science 0utwits Alice In Wonderland

The new world which recent
discoveries of nuclear physicists
have opened up for us is uni
verse in which occur happenings
far more incredible than those
encountered by Alice in Wonder
land.
We now know that what con-
stitutes practically all matter is
empty space: relatively enormous
worlds in which revolve with light
ming velocity infinitesimal parti-
Giles. The existence of these par
ticles has been demonstrated by
mathematical physicists and their
operations determined by ingenious
laboratory experiments.
The matter consists chiefly of
vacant space through which move
at enormous speed tiny particles
of electrically charged matter
Thus the atom is perceived to be
miniature solar system.
This new universe of the SUBJ
atomic teens with wonders no less
dazzling than those that startled
the eyes of Calico as he peered
through his newly made telescope
and discovered that the earth was
not fixed, but one of many planets
revolving about the sun.
The perception of matter which
has emerged from the work of
Thompson, Rutherford, Moseley,
Bohr, Fermi, Millikan, Compton,
Urey and others is this. Matter is
composed of molecules, whose av-
erage diameter is about l 1925 mil
lionth of an inch.
Molecules are composed of atoms
so small that about five million
could be placed on the point of a
needle.

mate, indivisible constituent of

consist roughly of a proton, the
positive electrical element in the
atomic nucleus, surrounded by
electrons, the negative electric ele-
ments, swirling about the proton.
Though the proton is 1,S40 times
heavier than the electron, it seems
to have only about 1 /oO0th the di-
ameter of the latter.

scope, one is impressed, almost

space III WHICH heavenly UOuleS
are tremendous distances apart.
Yet the proportion of empty space
to particles in the atom is far
greater than the proportion of
empty space to planets in the solar
system. Hence empty space con-
stitutes the most startling aspect
of matter as laid bare by science.
Instead of a concrete wall being
a solid mass with no holes between
the particles, it is in reality chock-
full of openings.
The revelation by modern ply
sizes of the world within the atom
is more disturbing than the revela-
ton by astronomy of the immense
world of interstellar space. The
atom is, as porous as the solar sys-
tenn. If we eliminated all the UNI
filled space in a mans body, and
collected his protons and electrons
into one mass, the man would be

with a magnifying glass. Not less
astounding is the velocity with
which the particles travel around
their atomic nucleus. The cleo
irons are shooting around their
atomic orbits more than a thou
sand million million times per Sec
ond."
The speed Of electrons is greater
than that of planets, and is
achieved in spite of the infinitesi-
NAL chamber in which the cleo
irons are imprisoned.
The beta particles, shot off by
radioactive substances, travel with
velocity approaching that of light
which is 10000 miles per second.
If the atomic energy locked up in
a pound of coal could be complete
ly utilized, it would be sufficient
to drive a train from Seattle to
New York.
The findings of nuclear physic-
lists sound the death knell of ma
terialism as an explanation of the
universe and as a philosophy of
life. Moreover, they offer new
and striking confirmation of mans
belief in God. To the real scien-
fist, there is no common clay. Ev-
cry particle of matter is aglow
with miracle and with mystery,
singing a refrain in homage of that
infinite power from whose creative
hands it came.
In the past, the appeal has been
to the star-studded sky as evidence
of supreme being: That appeal
grows stronger with each advance
of astronomy, which deepens our
reference as we gaze upon the
wonders of the armament.
But no less impressive is the
evidence of a supreme intelligence
in the galaxies, solar systems and
island universes floating about
within speck of dust.
In the whirling depths of !
grain of sand there appear to be
more particles than there are plan
cts and stars in all the space in
the universe. The evidence of
mathematical law of a high order,
which atomic researchers encount- !
er at every step, convinces them of

Der of his works.
Born in Sweden, in 1870, his tai
ent for painting was discovered
when he was about Ia years old
by a Norwegian professor, who
was making survey of rune
stones in Sweden. The professor
arranged to send the boy to a
prominent school teacher in Stock
holm, where he was to receive a
good education and training free
of charge. However, this plan did
not materialize. Anderson arrived
in America in 1890 and lived for
many years in the east before he
settled down in Seattle.
Anderson injured his foot in
1914. The injury proved to be
very serious and his right leg had
to be amputated. Many Scandina-
Wan organizations and friends sent
him money and gifts in an effort
to comfort him.
Because of poverty, Anderson
never had a chance to become a
painter in Sweden. Now he is
making up for the loss with all
the wisdom, learning and depth of
perception he has acquired during
the years. His talent and capacity
for work are quite remarkable.

To put on buttons so they

thread strong enough for the
weight of the button; to use tape
or other reinforcement under

perhaps most important, to ar

of over and over stitches.
To make snaps fast, use at
least four or five stitches to
each hole. Buttonhole stitches
hold snaps better than ordinary
stitches. Be careful that the ma
terial is not pulled out of shape
with the stitches.
One of the newest and most
time saving fasteners is the
snap fastener which is ham,
mered on rather than stitched.
These fasteners now come in
light and heavy weight, plain
and in color. These snap fasten-
ers should be used on firm fab
ric and are best suited to sports
or work clothes. On thin or fra.
gile cloth a pounded .on fastener
may strain or break through
and leave a hole. Machine
stitching on both sides of the
row of snap fasteners is recon-.
mended to take part of the pull
