DAMP BASEMENT;
SUGGESTIONS;
YOUTH BEDS?
(From Mrs. F. H., BetheSdd.J

(From Mrs. F. H., Bethesda
To Mr.. E. S., Washington: We
solved the damp basement prob
lem last summer. There is de-
humidifier, manufactured by the
largest air conditioner company in
the world, which takes all the
moisture out of the air. We
bought the first one to arrive in
Washington and consider it one of
our best investments. 1t is not in
q case as are air-conditioner units,
but merely a machine" mounted
on a metal base. We had car
penter build a high frame in the
basement foyer, the most central
space in the basement and mount
ed this machine on it. For a
while we used a bucket on the floor
under the frame to receive the
water through the tube of the
machine. 1t was surprising to find
that this bucket was completely
filled with water in around 20
hours. On the most humid of
days, last summer. there was no
moisture in the large basement
and 1t was very cool. To solve the
problem of emptying the bucket
we ran the tube through the wall
to an outside window well.
To Mrs. G. F., Takoma Park:
All our bathroom towel racks are
mounted in tile. When we pur-
chased our home we did not like
the placement of some of the racks
and had them moved. Any tile
firm will do it for you and the
expense is not great to install
racks in tile.
Question: am wondering if
every one else has the same trouble
with making up youth beds that 4
have. We purchased two of them
last year and I found they were
practically impossible to make up
smoothly. Lifting the mattress to
tuck the sheets under was no small
chore. We thought we had solved
the problem by having cotton mat
tresses made to- go under the good
mattresses, thus raising the height.
Even this does not work. The
sheets are never smooth enough
and the blankets never tuck in
well.
Ideas-To encourage our two
small daughters cages and A.
to comb and brush their hair. we
built a dressing table out of ply
wood. It is long enough for both
and has a mirror the full length
Of it. The children love to sit
in front Of 1t on their little stools
and comb their hair. They have
taken more pride in their appear
ance and feel very grown up"
having their own dressing table.
We don't have to encourage the
children to brush their teeth now
that they have a musical tooth
brush holder. 1t holds two tooth
brushes and is attached to the wall
by rubber suction cups. When a
toothbrush is taken out of it the
music begins and plays long
enough for teeth to be brushed.
Thank you for the many helpful
suggestions have received.

IRONER?

From Mrs. A. M. p, West
HyattSUille.)
I am contemplating the pur-
chase of an .ironer and am con-
sidering one of the small table
models now on the market. Can
any one tell me her experience
with one and whether they are
anywhere near as satisfactory as
the ones on stands?
Are they too heavy to lift and
do they skid around on the table
while in use? My basement is so
damp I find I must iron in the
kitchen, where I have no room
for an ironer on a stand. I would
like a table model to use for fiat
work and shirts.

Georgetown Unit Hits AMG Fails 10 Return
Report on Segregation Goods Stolen by Nazis,
And Federation Reply Romanians Charge

The Progressive Citizens Asso-
citation of Georgetown last night
charged that both the report by
the National Committee on Segre-
CATION in the Nations Capital and
the reply by the Federation of
Citizens Associations failed to
adhere to a calm. thorough and
honest analysis of the highly con-
troversial subject"
The report of the National Com
mittee on Segregation, which was
issued last December, charged in
part that segregation exists In the
District. particularly In hotels,
restaurants. theaters. churches,
hospitals, schools, housing and en-
ployment.
The reply by the executive
board of the federation, in Febru-
airy. said there were factual errors
In the National Committee report
and charged the whole picture Of
relations between races in the
Capital had been misrepresented.
1t contended segregation had not
resulted in serious inferiority In
treatment for the Negro.
Adopting report by special
committee. the Progressive Citi-
zens OF Georgetown last night &C
cused the National Committee on
Segregation of taking a biased
and unfair approach to the SUBJ
ject." At the same time the
Georgetown group criticized the
Federation fof taking certain spe-
cific allegations in the National
Committees report and trying to
disapprove them.
The Georgetown association
asked that the Federation adopt
D rule compelling 1t to submit to
member groups such problems as
segregation, home rule, taxes and
any other major issues before the
Federation takes action.

U=235Atom Splitting Is Biggest
Energy-Moking Achievement

mary particle OF matter. There
are at least four kinds. The pi
meson weighs approximately 280
times as much as an electron. The
mu meson has 210 times the
electron mass. Either may be
positively or negatively charged.
These mesons make their ap-
pearance when the nucleus OF an
atom is smashed by another
primary particle with enormous
energy. They come out OF the
nucleus, yet within the nucleus
they do not exist as matter but as
binding energy. This energy, re-
leased from it's bonds. becomes
matter for very brief instant.
Changes Into Mu Meson.
First comes the pi meson. 1t
exists as such only a 50th OF a
millionth of a second. Then it
emits hypothetical particle
known as the neutrino and
changes into the longer-lived mu
meson, which remains in existence
for -millionths of a second.
Then it breaks up into two neu-
trinos and an electron. The lie
of a neutrino is too brief for
observation. It's, existence is as
sumed, and generally admitted, to
balance physical formulas.
Nelson's are the hottest subject
in nuclear physics just now. No
body knows just how to interpret
them. Up to year ago. they were
known only in cosmic rays. They
did not actually form part OF this
radiation itself but were created
from the impact of the cosmic
particles with atoms of the earth's
upper atmosphere. One Of the
great triumphs of modern physics
was achieved when they were
created for the first time in the
giant cyclotron of the University
of California.
At first it was possible to pro-
duce only about one meson to 100
protons from the atomic disrup-
lions taking place in the cyclotron.
In a year the technique has been
greatly improved. Here, primarily,
energy is transmitted into mat
ter-the reverse OF the atomic
fission process-but most Of the
matter Immediately becomes ener-
gy again. Just what the implica-

tions are puzzles the best minds in
modern physics.
There are even rumors OF a
meson bomb. AS yet the outermost
frontier of meson physics has
barely been reached. It is some
what difficult to understand how
anybody will handle particles that
exist in material form for less
than millionth of a second.
If any secret process for using
the meson has been found. it is
q deep, dark secret.
