The common practice of using basement dirt t o level Irregular places on the lawn site may cause injury, and eventually the death of the established trees, says Karl H. Dreseel, of the Michigan State col-lege forestry depar tment The rea-son for the In jury Is that nature has placd the roota of a tree a t a point where there is the proper bal-ance between air and water, l^ie placing of additional dirt over the tree roots disturbs this relationship and the tree suffers.

By hiring a tree specialist a t the same time the contractor la en-gaged, the tree man Is able to work out plans tha t may save the lives pt valuable trees.

Even though trees survive build-ing operations, many die in drought years because of lack of available moisture. During such times, soak-ing the ground with water and, In extreme cases, using a mulch are advisable, Dressel says.

The Important things to remem-ber In watering trees Is to be patient and give the tree plenty of water. Let the water run Into the ground slowly and for a conlsderable per-iod of time. To check on the depth to which water has penetrated, Dressel suggests that a small hole be dug. Moat of the tree roota are In an area from 8 to 12 Inches be-low the surface, and the water must reach this area If It Is to benefit the tree. In watering, begin about 6 or more feet f rom the tip of the branches and work towards the trunk. Remember that a large-sized shade tree on a hot day may

FIFTY-THIRD YEAR LOWELL, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 16,1945 NUMBER 15

War Over Japs Quit

AM all the world knows by this time, Japan has officially sur-

rendered to the allied nations without reservations and In full

accord with the Potsdam ulti-matum.

Arrangements still must be completed for the signing of formal surrender terms. Oeneral 'Douglas MacArthur has been ap-pointed supreme Allied com-mander to receive the surrender. Then V-J day will be proclaimed.

President Truman released the stirring news a t 6:00 p. m. Tues-day Lowell time. History's most destructive war is over.

Japan 's surrender was oele-brated throughout the country from coast to coast and from border to border, with cheers, singing, dancing and noise. Lowell had its share in the joyous occa-sion. In fact, due to a false rumor, celebrating began early Tuesday morning and except for a lull during the day, was re-sumed at 6.00 p. m. and con-tinued throughout the night

Throughout the land the occa-sion also tempered with other thoughts—a grateful nation Is today giving thought to the 250,000 homes wherein the Blue Star has turned to Gold.

On the day Cpl. Duthler visited the cemetery the white cross, bear-ing Gerald's name and rank, was erected over his grave. Before going to the cemetery to pay his last re-specta to a friend, Cpl. Duthler called at the camp and talked with officers and buddies, who held the deepest liking and respect, for one who had been a good buddy and courageous soldier, one who though wishing to live, had willingly given his life in the line of duty.

Pharmacist's Mate On Sub Is 'Doctor' For Whole Crew

He's Warner Scott, of Lowell Editor's Note—The following ar-

ticle, written by Martin Sheridan, tells the story of a Lowell boy, Pharmaclfit 's Mate Warner Scott. We are Informed that the article appeared recently la a Georgia nswapaper. Sorry that wc a re not able to give the name of the paper.

ABOARD THE U. S. S, BULL-HEAD IN T H E CHINA SEA, July 5—One day, af ter Inveallgatlng a group of Ohineee Junk* which eventually passed scrutiny, a Jap-anese twin-engine seaplane was spotted several miles away, and we dived. The plane remained in the vicinity so we waited several hours before resurfacing a t nightfall.

The next day brought typical China sea weather—cold, with a atlff breese whipping spray from white cape Wa were rolling badly in the deep swells and everyono came off watch reduced and w e t Evidently the plane sighted the day before had been clearing the way for ship*, tor a dtepatcli inforrru-d us of a J a p convoy heading north about 70 roHks from our position. Comdr. Walter T. Griff i th decided to go a f t e r t t and we walkrwed for seven hours through heavy seas in an unsuccessful effort to t rack it down. Our planes reported tha t the convoy had headed dose to shore, where we would be un-able to continue the chase.

The rolling of the boat led nw to have a chat with tall, blond Warner H. Scott, chief pharmao-ist's mate f rom Lswefl, Mich., on seasickness and medidna in gen-eral. A submarine is the only war-ship sailing on 'rmg patrols with-out a full-fledged medical officer, but pharmacist 's mates have serv-ed commendably aboard submar-ines, and i t is amazing how many Injuries and ailments they can t reat succeecfully.

Scott, whom the boys call "Doc" and other names ("But "Qaack" cuts me to the quick," he said), reported that there are many cases of seasickness when a new crew comes aboard. "We had them when we aalled on this patraL There really Isn't much otflS can do for them."

Submarines as a group are a healthy l o t The Navy medics are careful in their choice of men for undersea* c raf t ; h e a r t lungs, ears, nose, throat and teeth are especi-ally checked and men with defects or aliments likely to recur a t w a are rejected and assigned to sur-face c raf t which carry physloian<i. Mental stability is also considered.

In the early day* of the war, a pharmacist 's mate performed a crude wardroom appendectomy on a crew member with the aid of his skipper. (I believe it was pictured in "Destination Tokyo") Fortun-ately for everyone concerned, the operation was successful and the patient survived, but since that In-cident, the Navy Bureau of Medi-cine has issued an inflexible direc-tive b a n n i n g appendectomies aboard cube.

I was particularly intoristcd. My appendix had been paining me not long before I sailed, though a hod-pltal ship aurgeon had Informed me af ter an examination tha t It wasn't quite ready for removal, wasn't too keen about being a principal in a submarine "opening and Scott said he wouldn't try one anyway. He would freeze an acute case until the patrol was com-pleted.

NEWS OP OUR MENwWOMEN IN UNIFORM.

Pointing out 'hat Secretary of Agriculture Clinton F. Anderson has promised American farmers and consumers a "policy of plenty" on foods, Mr. Hoien said that produc-tion from the current potato crop is exceeding all expectations, and needs earnest cooperation from all consumers to prevent waste.

U3DA July 1 estimates place the 1945 potato crop at over 408 million bushels, and this figure could be ex-ceeded by favorable growing weath-er between now and digging of the late crop this fall. Mr. Hoien, said. The July 1 estimate compares with slightly less than 380 million bush-els a year ago and a 10-year average production of 375 million bushels.

The early and Intermediate crop now coming to market in constant-ly increasing volume is expected to account for 63>4 million bushels, or nearly 6 million bushels more than last year, and 17 million bushels over the 10-year average for this crop.

In urging greater consumption of potatoes, Mr. Hoien said that a large crop always Indicates ex-cellent quality, hut that the inter-mediate crop must be consumed since it does not store well over long periods. Housewives, restaurants and other public eating places, schools (where open) and summer camps, and Institutions are asked to

However, they do be-lieve that those listed will serve as convincing Illustrations that Amer-ican business is not only Interested In promoting full employment, but that its research and technological developments hold out real promise that general employment is a n at" talnable goal.

One can be confident t h a t the l a t t e r view is correct, and tha t 50 years f r o m now the present world will seem about a s back-ward a s 1895 seema now. Pe rhaps the greates t dlacoverles will come In the field of h u m a n relations, In new methods a n d a t t i tudes and hab i t s tha t will avoid w a r between na t ions and conflict between the d i f f e ren t elements In the popula-tion.

F A C T O R S I N P R O G R E S S

w h a t A R E T H E condit ions which enable some communi-

ties to go ahead and m a k e pro-g re s s? The following migh t be mentioned a s conditions t h a t have helped many towns to go ahead :

1—The possession of a group of public spirited people w h o are will-ing to give considerable t ime to promoting good causes and busi-ness growth. 2—A general willingness to cooi»-ere*8 on the par t of the public, and help on good and progressive projects .

3—The absence of the ca rp ing and knocking spirit t h a t makes f u n of progressive movements, and chil ls the enthusiasm of the peo-ple fo r good plana.

I t takes considerable power and energy and leadership t o produce developments and get th ings don3. If everybody sits a round and saya t h a t someone else should do the work for the public good, it la not l ikely to ge t done.

They a re likely t o be be t te r t han they ever were a f t e r the war . because of the enormous demand for goods which could no t be pro-duced In war t ime.

NEAT TRICK

Booth Tarklngton strolled into his favorite club one afternoon wearing a derby hat which evoked jeers from his friends. Leaving the room, the author returned in a moment Ad-dressing one of the men, he asked politely:

"Don't you like my hat?" The man shook his head. Tark-

lngton took off his derby, dropped it on the floor and Jumped upon it with both feet. Then, nonchalantly he pro-duced another derby from inside his loose fitting coat. With an air of tri-umph he left the room.

"Say, that 's quite a trick," said the man admiringly when Tarklng-ton once again made his entrance, derby in hand. "Would you mind doing it again?"

"Not at all," replied the author obligingly.

Several times he repeated the per-formance, leaving the room Imme-diately after he had produced the derby from his coa t His friends, delighted by this feat of magic, watched with mingled awe and ad-miration.

When, they entered the cloakroom later In tho day, however, their ad-miration turned to anger. The hnt racks were empty. Tarkington's "trick" xhad consisted of nothing more than stamping on his friends' derbies!

Gen. Pat Ion Writes Poem ^Fear"

While Dashing Across Reich

Lieut Gen. George S. Pr.tton, one of the best known and moat courageous commanders in the armed forces of the United Nations, today was revealed as the author of a itoem "Fear."

Written while the forces in his command were sweeping irresistably across Germany, General Patton's poem appears in print for the first time in the May issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. The poem follows:

FEAR I am that dreadM. bUghUng tUag.

Like rathsles te the Hood.

Like rest that gnaws the faaltlcss

L i k e mic robes to t h e blood. .

I know no mercy and no rath, The yeang I blight the eld I slay. Regret stalks darkly in my wake ^nd Ignominy dogs say way.

Sometimes in virinoat garb I rove With Xadlo talk of eader way. Bedaoiag, where I dare net rape, Yoong manhood from its boner's

sway..

Again In awesome guise I rash

Stapendons, throngh the ranks of

war.

Turning io water with my gaze

Hearts that before no foe eoald awe.

The maiden whv has strayed from r i g h t

To me must pay the meed of shame,

The patriot ^ho betrayed his trast, Te me mast own his tarnished name.

1 spare no class, or cult er creed. My ooarse is endless throngh the

I bow aU heads, and break all hearts, Ail owe aae homage—I am FEAR!

CHAPTER XXI

01 course, no riding; and there was a new outdoor couch with wheels on the terrace under the pergola where she lay !or many hours, not doing anything, her hands clasped behind her neck, her eyes on the sky or the distant hills. Often the hair of her bang was darkened with sweat, and there were tiny beads on her upper lip, and her hands were not steady.

Their father had called both boys to him soon after they' got home and had said with his harshest voice and his fiercest eyes, "Don't do any-thing this summer that will cause your mother trouble or pain or the least anxiety!

"No, sir," he and Howard had answered instantly. Afterwards, they had looked at each other with a long thoughtful look. This was serious. It mustn't be forgotten. Their father sure meant what he said.

Howard's coming home had been another excitement, because How-ard was changed. At least he was changed when Ken first saw him getting off the train and riding home in the car telling his mother and father things about the school in a deep voice that never slipped up any more. He was in his gray tweed suit, and the Fedora didn't look funny on his i a c e now.

When he got into a shirt and blue-Jeans with a bandana hanging out of his hind pocket. Ken began to feel more easy with him. And next day Howard stopped sitting gravely with his mother and father and began to devil Ken and wrestle with him. And on the third day they sUrted to tell each other things. Ken made the acquaintance of Howard's two best friends a t school, Jake who was a football star, and Bugs. And in turn he told Howard afl about his t r ip to the Valley of the Eagles, and promised io take Howard there as soon as there was a chance, and undid his belt and pulled up his shirt, and showed him the scar from the eagle's talons. I t was still im-pressive.

M A R Y O M A R A W.N.U. FfATUR**"**

'Vou know, Howard! Gee! Some-times I Just can't believe it."

"Can't believe what?" "That it's all turning out to be

real about Thunderhead." "Real? Why you dope—what fun

would it be if it wasn't real?" "Well, I dunno—" "Were you Just pretending about

it all?" "Oh, of course not!" Ken was

puzzled about that. How you can be planning a thing in a real way thinking about it nearly ail the time, and yet it is more of a dream than a reality, so that when it suddenly comes true and has to be geared In with actual events, hours and dates and weighing scales, and entrance fees and shipping arrangements. It is Just as much of a shock as If you never really expected It to happen.

Howard was squinting one eye, and then the other, making a hawk that was floating high up move from one end of a cloud to the other.

"When we get to Saginaw Falls and change these heavy shoes he's wearing to light aluminum shoes they'll feel so light on his feet he'll go like the wind."

Howard held a finger in the air above his face and looked to one side of It and then the other.

"And if Charley Sargent buys Dad's surplus hay and sends it down to Saginaw Falls for the race, then Thunderhead won't have to change to a different kind of hay from what he's used to. Besides, Charley can sell It down there for fifty dollars a ton. He said so. Mountain hay is the best, and down there they'll pay anything If they think it will give their nags a better chance. But nobody can beat Thunderhead!" Ken went off suddenly into one of his wild bursts of Joy, rolling over back-wards and trying to stand on his head.

"Can't you do that?" said Howard contemptuously. He got up slowly, stood on his head with ease and nonchalance, then lay down and stretched out again.

'Gee, Howard! Do you know something?"

"What?" "I think so much about Thunder-

head that when I see my own face in the mirror I 'm surprised!"

"Hah! You goof! Do you expect to look like him?"

Ken giggled. "Sure. I see him in my head all the time—that long fierce face and his nostrils going in and out snorting, and the red lining to them, and those white-ringed eyes rolling at you, and when I pass the mirror, if I saw his f a t e In It, I don't think I'd even notice It, but when I see my own face I'm sur-prised and for a second I wonder who It Is!"

Howard sniffed at such childish-ness. "Say! When shall we go down there—to the Valley of the Eagles?"

"Let's go soon. Golly, I hope that one-legged eagle Is there! I'd like to pay him back for what he did to me."

"Maybe we could go this week-end."

"We won't say a thing about where we're going," said Howard. "It might worry mother."

'No. Just for a camping trip." 'Yes. But I bet dad won't give

us any time off till we've finished this draw." Howard looked at his Vatch. "Hour's up. We'd better hop to it ."

They removed the nose-bags from Big Joe and Tommy, hitched them up to the sledge, and left them by the fence. The two horses had got used to the blasts of dynamite and

watched the proceedings with Inter-est.

Ken held the rock drill and How-ard swung the sledge hammer until a deep enough hole had been drilled in the rock. Then they stuck the fuse Into the stick of dynamite, tamped It Into the hole with mud; then lit the end of the fuse and re-treated to the far edge of the draw beside the horses and waited to hear the explosion and see the pieces of rock fiy. Then they put on their heavy leather gloves, drove the team down into the center of the draw, loaded the broken rock onto the sledge and hauled it away.

By night the boys were so groggy with sleep they staggered to bed at eight o'clock.

But it was not until that draw was finished and another one as well, and all the hay put up, that Rob Mc-Laughlin said the boys could have the rest of the summer to do as they pleased in.

Rest? There wasn't any re s t September was here, and there were only four days before the date for which Howard's return accommo-dations had been taken.

But four days was twice as much as they would need. So they an-nounced that they were off for a camping trip, and Nell put up pro-visions for them, and Thunderhead and FUcka were hung with bags, rifles, slickers, frying pans, and the boys rode away up the Saddle Back.

Under their feet the bare rolling hills and soft burned grass—beyond.

excitement and freedom, galloping south with yells and shouts and pounding hoofs, and their faces cold in a wind that was sharp and sweei with snow.

From the moment of leivlng the ranch Thunderhead was In a slate of Intense excitement. And when they had climbed the Saddle Back and headed south, his wild eyes and his nostrils and his pricked ears never ceased exploring those moun-tains ahead of them. His mountains! His valley!—from whioh high fences and stern masters had kept him for a year.

He was nard to hold when the smell of the rlvwr reached them. Ken let him go and he galloped on the little trail he bad made himself until they roundctf <be hill and the Silver Plume river came ieto view. While the horses watered, the boys debated whether th jy should stop and fish, or try to complete the trip that night; and because of Howard's umited time decided on the latter.

Thunderhead took the lead and they plunged Into the mauntalns. He was filled with a fiery and masterful energy. He had never forgotten; and now that the way was open to his Inherited destiny, he was ready

and eager for I t His stallion's con-sciousness had come of age at last.

It was already twilight In the gorge; and under some of the over-hanging cliffs and great trees the trail led into darkness. But Thun-derhead went swiftly; and when the boys stopped to pause and look and exclaim at the plunge of the great waterfalls or the foaming cauldrons of whltewater, his Iron shoe struck the rock impatiently, and his stri-dent neigh tore the thunderous roar of the river.

The scent was getting stronger, and it maddened him with Joy. It was the scent of a destiny, of a life, of an overwhelming emotion. For not under the saddle or running obe-Hiently around a track, but here In these mountains lay his whole exist-ence and he had carried the flame of it in his consciousness for a year.

That evening they pitched camp in the park-like grounds not far from the base of the valley rampart.

Picketed with FUcka below the camp Thunderhead did not lie down and sleep as a young horae should. Only older horses, who no longer have growing pains, sleep standing on their feet. But Thunderhead stood

all night long, his body quivering, turned to that rampart and the pass into the valley, his ears pricked to catch the faintest sound.

He knew it immediately when, in the early dawn, a group of mares and colts drifted through the pass to graze in the park here below the r a m p a r t He nickered and started to run to them, but was pulled up by bis picket rope and stood there paw-ing Impatiently, nickering again and again.

Flicka woke up and was also seized by the excitement of meeting stranger. Thunderhead ran-around the circle allowed him by his picket rope. He backed away, lowered his head and gave it a few shakes, pull-ing at the rope. But his training had been thorough. It was now al-most a physical impossibility for him to fight a head rope. He plunged a b i t and then reared up, pawing the air. When he came down he whirled and looked at those mares again—Just dark shadows in the vague gray dawn—then he dropped his muzzle to earth, placed one forefoot on the rope, with a little fiing of his head got it between his teeth and bit It through as neatly as he had bitten off the leg of the eagle.

With an eager neigh he trotted off toward the mares, leaving Flicka Impatient and unhappy, nickering lonesomely, but too docile to at-tempt escape.

Ken had been dreaming all night of the playful nickering of horses. He dreamed he was riding Thunder-head on the range In a band of yearlings, but why did they keep nlcnering so? What was attracting their attention? There came aa un-easiness Into the dream. The nick

the Buckhorn Mounlains, a wilder- ^ persisted but, as if attempting ness of forests and peaks. And an infinite distance away and above, as if bom up on tbe lower crests, a giaaming shape misted In clouds— the Thunderer—beckoning to them!

—

to present a plausible explanation, the dream changed rapidly. Now he was riding Flicka in the brood mare bunch. And now he was rid-ing in the corrals on the day of the ——-r—:

weaning, for that was surely ^he nickering of young c o l t s -

Ken's dreams became still nyirt uneasy, and he sat up suddenly ind saw the dawn and knew where he was and could not understand why the nickering continued even now that the dream was ended.

There was one dazed minute in which he sat there, collecting his wits, brushing the sleep and the hair out of his eyes, and then he realized that off near the rampart was a group of mares and colts with a white horse among them, and that the nickering came from them.

It was Just what he had seen on his former visit to the valley except that this was only a small number of mares; and the Albino, for some reason or other, was not* behaVing like a sensible stallion but was rear-ing, squealing, whirling around to face first this one then the other, in fact was a living coil of move-ment and excitement.

But there was nickering closer at hand too, and suddenly Ken became anxious lest Thunderhead and FUcka should be excited by the proximity of strange mares and break away from their picket lines. He fiung back his blankets, leaped out of them and ran down stream. It brought him up sharp to see only, one hofse there, FUcka hardly paid any attention to his arrival. Her ears were pricked toward those strange mares, and she pawed the ground, and it was her nickering that had aroused him.

In • daze. Ken picked up the sec-ond picket rope and looked at the end of i t Bitten clean through. 'He dropped it and rubbed his hand through his hair. That was Thun-derhead over there with the mares tiien, not the Albino! No wonder he had behaved peculiarly. Thun-derhead with mares at lastl

Ken's mind began to labor. He must be got away from them im-mediately! The Albino might come out through the pass, looking for those mares. And suddenly near-panic seized Ken. The race so nearl And the least Injury to Thunderhead at this late date might make It im-possible for him to run.

Now he thought fast. He picked up a nose-bag half fuU of oats and walked very quietly over toward the mares.

As he drew near, he caUed Thun-derhead softly and held out the bag and shook I t The oats a rustling sound. That was enou] as a rule, to draw twenty horses at a run. But Thunderhead merely turned his head to glance at him, then gave his attention to the mares again. Now and then he would drop his nose to the ground and half-circle the mares—plunging at them —turning, dodging, snaking them. It looked as If he were going to round them up! Ken became more alarmed. If he rounded them up, he'd get them going and he'd go along with them, and it would be stUl harder to catch him!

"Here Boy I Here Thunderhead! Come along, boy. Here's your oats —Oats, Thunderhead! OATS!"

Thunderhead paid no attention. With more determination now, he drove at the mares. He whipped around them, got them moving, drove them toward the cleft In the rampart.

Ken stood still, appaUed by the reallzaUon that the horae had actu-aUy taken possession of the mares. They gave him complete obedience, as if the electric power within him had welded them all into a unit of which he was head and master.

Suddenly Ken ran forward again. "Oh, Thunderhead! Come, boy! Oats! Come get your breakfast!"

"Hey, Ken! Ken!" rang out be-hind him. "What's up?"

Aa Howard came running. Ken looked at him speechlessly. Howard saw Thunderhead driving the mares through the gap, and he too halted,

Battle Jacket

By EDWARD YEWDALL McClura Syndlcala—WNU Featurai.

JOHNNY MULFORD'S first ap-^ proach to the girl was direct He went straight up to her in the sub-way itaUon and said, "Gee, you're the most beautiful thing I ever saw."

'The girl gave him a look that was (1) startled, (2) contemptuous and (3) mad. She said, "On your way."

• Perhaps if she had known John-ny's long build-up before he found the courage to do what he did she would have been a Uttle more re-cepUve. It was like this: He had come back from the wars and gone to work for the Mulcahy Contract-ing Company on his old drawing board, after two months' loafing. He couldn't get through his red head that this building stuff was of the sUghtest moment He couldn't, at first, get back to work. He couldn't get his mind on the beam.

After wandering around the house, worrying Mom to death, picking books out of the bookcase and read-ing a page or two, then putting them face down on the coffee table, the piano, the floor; after whitewashing the ceUar and pruning the trees, he finaUy gave up and went Into the office. The battle Jacket with the shoulder patch embroidered with the "1" and "Guadalcanal" hung In the closet He had never worn it since the day he got home.

He saw the girl the first day he went regularly to work. She board-ed the bus at Poplar Street. She carried herself with a quiet dignity that became her blonde beauty; she was alone always. The girl's eyes reminded Johnny of the deep blue of the Pacific, and It seemed as if this was Die girl he had been wait-ing for aU his life. But the girl appeared to know nothing about that.

1 After a few weeks of long-distance admiration Johnny met IQine Har-kins and, wonder of wonders, Kline knew something about the girl! If Kline had only been acquainted, things might have been settled one way or another right then. But Kline only Uved near the girl, and she wasn't given to distant noddings. But Kline had a lot of dope. Her name was Hermance Taylor, she was twenty two and worked In the Great American Insurance Compa-ny's office; Her father was a dis-patcher for the bus company. There was no boy friend in sight

Six weeks passed. Once Johnny had the opportunity to give Her-mance his seat in the bus. She said a cool "Thank you," and sat down. After that Johnny ceased to exist.

After his rebuff in the subway sta-tion Johnny braced Kline Harking to try to meet the girl through neigh bors on Poplar Street, but Kline was too diffident and bashful himself fur t h a t Anyway, Johnny calculated, Kline would like to meet the girl on his own account. This seemed a cockeyed reversal of t i e "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" Po-cahontas thing.

Johnny Just subsided Into eyeing the girl, drinking in every detail of her appearanco, noting the sweetly grave expression In the deep blue eyes, the Just-right detaUs of her modest dress, the graceful walk and superlaUve carriage.

Things at the office didn;t go so weU. He couldn't concentrate on the layout of the Kilmer Radio Com-pany's machine shop a t a l l Mr. Mulcahy was sweU; he reminded Johnny that Rome was neither buUt nor destroyed in a day. ' T a k e your time," he said. "This stuff wlU seem trivial for a while ye t Work only when you fet l like it, Johnny. We'rls with you—we know what you can do."

"Wait tiU I meet Hermance," he said to himself. "Then I'U atart to go to town. We'U see movies two nights a week, and we'U hold hands In the dark. On Saturday nights we'U go to the American Legion dances, and the boys wlU look at Hermance and gnash their teeth. After about a year I'U touch Dad for a loan and we'U think about buying a house, and from then on it'U be blUs and mortgages and maybe a UtUe Hermance and Johnny. And wlU I love It!"

Early on Johnny's Saturday off, Mr. Mulcahy caUed him up. "John-ny," he said, "Mr. Henderson is here from Milwaukee. He wants to go over the machine ahop layout with U/. and I don't know a thing about it. WlU you come In?"

WeU, Mother bad sent his only c lwy overcoat to the cleaners, and It wouldn't be back untU night—a special concession at tha t Mother said, "Put on the battle Jacket John. It 's mild ou t You ought to be proud of I t " Johnny hated to wear any part of a uniform some-how, but there was nothing else to do. It was too cold for his su i t and as yet he possessed no topcoat He saUIed forth In the battle Jacket

Hermance hopped on the bus at Poplar Street. Her eyes passed Johnny with their cool imperaonaUty and looked out the window. Some-thing brought them back again, and they settled on the shoulder patch of Johnny's Jacket, on the "1" and the "Guadalcanal."

In the subway station she came swiftly up to Johnny and said, "Par-don me, but I always wanted to shake hands with a man from Guad-alcanal I hope you won't think I'm forward."

Johnny grinned and said, "No. I don't think you're forward. I think you're sweU."

Any Japanese who try to ascer-tain the extent of damage caused by the atomic bomb In Hiroshima are committing suicide.

The terrific force of the explo-sion Irradlcates every piece of mat-ter in the area. Investigators will become Infected with secondary ra-diation which breaks up the red corpuscles In the blood. This pre-vents the body from asslmlllaiting oxygen which means that those so exposed will die In the same way victims of leukemia die.

Actually, tests have shown that the radiation in an area exposed to the force of an atomic bomb will not be dissipated for approximate-ly 70 years. Hence, Hiroshima wlll be a devasted area not unlike our conception of the moon for nearly three quarters of a century.

Furthermore, rain falling on the area wlll pick up the lethal rays and wlll carry them down to the

' rivers and the sea. And animal life In these waters will die.

I cite these facts to illustrate the awesome force contained In the atomic bomb. It defies the Im-agination. Flash Gordon looks like a piker compared to it. Yet the physical principle Involved has been known for years. Such scient-ists as Einstein and the Italian, Fermi, were on the threshold of discovering the secret of the bomb, but they did not know It.

I t Is interesting and even a little frightening to recall that Profes-sor Fermi, while he was still In Italy and under the control of the Fascists, conducted one experiment which failed only because a piece of aluminium foil was hanging In the path of the neutrons.

Had It not been there, he would have dlceovered the secret and Italy and Germany would have had the atomic bomb. But Profes-sor Fermi left Italy for this coun-try and rendered great service in the research which ended with our success.

The experiments of Fermi, Ein-stein and the other great physic-ists were concerned with the atom-ic Fission. An atomic Fission oc-curs, we know now, when you hit a 235 atom, say, with a neutron. The neutron Is taken Into the core of the atom and Immediately you have' a new atom of 236 atomic weight.

But the 236 atom Is of unstable configuration and It explodes at once Into two atoms of lighter weight. In this process 200 million electron volts arc given off. This Is the basic secret of the atomic bomb >

The enormous explosion which results from the atomic bomb Is really a series of explosions; a neu-tron hitting an atom and thereby producing two lightweight atoms and a neutron, and this neutron hitting another atom and so on.

Actually the force of the explo-«inn is ' so great that It reduces everything in the area to a gas which In turn explodes. The steel tower used In the army experi-ment In New Mexico disintegrated Into gas and exploded. In other words, everything In the area where the bomb hits explodes.

That Is why the air and the ground In the area hit by the bomb become irradiated. You will recall that the army account of the New Mexico experiment told how Pro-, feasor Fermi made his Investiga-tion of what the bomb had done inside a tank. Undoubtedly the In-side of that tank was lined with lead and paraffin to protect him from the secondary radiation.

Of course, the New Mexico ex-periment was a small scale one compared to what hit the Japs. The Hiroshima area la nothing now but a vast inorganic mass. I t wlll remain tha t way until a geol-ogic process takes place In which the sun and the rain wlll create a now earth.

But I don't want to give the impression tha t there Is any dan-ger In creating the new bomb In this country. Every precaution Is taken. Nobody sees what is being made. Every process Is handled by a system of remote controls. This Is done to protect the workers from the secondary radiation of the uranium because there is little danger that a bomb would explode prematurely.

It can explode only under a def-inite set of conditions which are fully controlled. We know how to make the bombs now and we can

produce them without danger to ourselves, though they wlll oblit-erate the Japanese nation If the Japs try to fight on.

More Important, however than the creation of the bomb—that is, more Important for mankind—Is the fact that we have definitely learned how to use the force with-in the atom. Rs potentialities In peace-time are overwhelming. ' They could, for example, change our whole society. Yet we are not yet wholly out of the woods so f a r as peace-time use la concerned.

The threat of secondary radia-tion Is still with us until we find a satisfactory Insulator.

As now, however, we can use the secret of the atomic bomb to heat a city, for example, or to prp-vlde all the needed power for a city. We can do that without dan-ger to the populace. This Is the way It would work:

Suppose we take a .pound of uranium 235 and Immerse It In water. The 235 wlll be hit with

In fact, this commercial use will be easier than the develop-ment of the bomb Itself.

I n the bomb we wanted to get the positive atoms crowded to-gether. That was harder to do than to keep them separated with neuter atoms between them. But when we have neuter atoms be-tween the positive atoms we can control the force of the explosion because a neutron hitting a neuter atom wlll not produce any energy.

Hence, we can control the amount of heat, or the explosion, If you prefer. In our pound of 236 uranium Immersed In water. We can produce super-heatfed steam which would be the source of our power. Arid we can do It under control.

cess '•ould be used to operate an automobile. A small power plant, consisting, say, of enough uranium 235 to cover the head of a pin Immersed In water, could produce the necessary steam. Our automo-bile would be a private locomotive. I t would have no gears, only a throttle for one forward speed and a reverse.

But how could we protect the occupants from tho effects of sec-ondary radiation? Without the proper insulation anyone umng such an automobile would be dead in a few days. So f a r we have not solved this problem.

Cadmium can be used as an In-sulator. but there Is not enough of It produced as yet and, fur ther-more, we are not certain how thick, the Insulation would have to fte. Cadmium now protects automo-bile fenders from rust, but only one ten-thousands of an Inch on a fender Is needed. We might need several feet of the material to protect us f rom the secondary radiation.

So there 'are still knots to be un-tied before we can get the full peace-time use of the mighty pow-er of tho atom. On the other hand, we can use It at once to provide heat and power for cities and this alone will have an enormous effect on our economy and on our society. .

Wlll this enormous power be pri-vately owned and operated, or will It be government-controlled? If the latter, what wlll happen to our great utility systems? Certain-ly #the TVA power dams and all other waterpower projects wlll be-come worthless. What about tho coal Industry? A pound nr so of uranium 235 will do the work of all the coal mined. And what will happen to the railroads when tlhey no longer haul coal?

These are some of the questions we must begin to think about. For we are on the threshold of an epoch of undreamed-of progress and development.

Use Burlap to Discourage Files

Pieces of old burlap hung across the entrance to the milking shed help to brush off flies as tbe coWs enter, and also tend to dwken the Interior of tbe shed which discour-ages files. Mldhlgan State college dairy speclallata also suggest using burlap or other material to cover windows for further darkening the shed.

TIRE SITUATION

The OPA states that used truck tires, and truck tires requiring major repairs to be made service-able will be removed from rationing along with a few passenger tires made f rom reclaimed rubber that are still unsold.

Frugali ty la good, if liberality be Joined with It The f irst is leav-ing off superfluous expenses; the last bestowing them to the benefit of others that need.—William Penn.

The mother who has searched in vain for the customary mater-ials for the layette or for a toddler need not go home empty banded. Sleeping garments, blankets, robes, snow suits and coats made from sheet blankets, some heavy flan-nels and an occasional small amount of outing flannel and seer-sucker, will be warm and at trac-tive. You c^n still buy blanket binding, ribbon and tape and vari-ous kinds of buttons and fasteners to give your sewing a professional look.
