B2 = ATOMIC STRUCTURE OF LUTECIUM FOUND Bureau of Standards Physi- cist Obtains Spectra Photo- graphs in Study. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. ‘The world was thrilled two weeks afiewhen astronomers at the Lowell Observatory discovered, about four bil- lon miles away in space, a ninth planet. At about the same time an almost parallel discovery at the opposite end of creation, in the world of the infinite- ly little, was made at the Bureau of Standards here. Dr. William F. Maggers obtained ctra photographs which revealed :fi: atomic structure of lutecium. As a triumph of pure science it was about as important and sensational as the discovery of the planet. Everything on earth, in the final analysis, is composed of atoms. An atom consists of a central body, some- what like the sun in the solar system, with from 1 to 98 other bodies revolv- ing around it. 90 Kinds of Atoms Known. ‘The number of planets, or electrons, distributed about the central nucleus determines the kind of atom. Thus, if there is only one, it is an atom of hydro- gen. If there are 98, it is an atom of uranium. Ninety kinds of atoms are known. The central body increases in size proportionate to the number of its planetary family. Nobody will ever see an atom. But ## has been possible in a roundabout way to photograph them. That is Dr. Maggers' job. e photographs reveal how the atmos are made up. Each ar- rangement of planetary electrons, when made luminous, gives off light of a dif- ferent composition. This is divided in & prism, and the distribution of spectrum lines studied. In this way, it was found, atoms are | built up from the simpler to the more complex, according to a_ definite pat- tern, which seems to hold throughout nature. Electrons are arranged in suc- cessive “shells” around the nucleus. One electron is added to the hydrogen atom, and the first “shell” is completed. ‘The result is a helium atom. : Building-up Continues. ‘Then, by some unexplained increase in the central mass which attracts other electrons, the process of building up the elements goes on. A second shell is built up outside the first. When this is completed, in this case by eight elec- trons, the products is neon. A new shell starts.

Deneen and Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick seem to be having a considerable carnival in Illinols in the course of conducfing this year's most spectacular and nationally noted primary contest. They are now in the managing and promoting their respec- tive aspirations to a seat in the United States Senate shed some light on poli- tics as an American major pastime. The one great impersonal issue at stake between the two candidates seems | to be the permanent court of interna- tional justice at The Hague in the Netherlands. On this issue Mrs. Mc- Cormick has perhaps a certain advan- tage. The State of Illinois is probably only State in the Union during the League of Nations senatorial debate in 1919 and 1920 that had both of its Benators talking and voting on the ir- reconcilably anti-league side. One of those Senators was Mrs. McCormick’s late husband, Medill McCormick, and the other was Lawrence Y. Sherman, who used to boast that he was one of the most valuable legislators in America because he never in the course of & long legislative life had invented any legislative novelties whatsoever but on the other hand had earnestly helped to kill off more legislative novelties than any other American alive. McKinley Favored Court, ‘When Mr. Sherman was succeeded in the Senate from Illinois by the late Wil- liam Brown McKinley, Mr. McKinley | was conscientiously pro-court and c- rificed his political career to conscience | and conviction. At the very moment when he voted for the court in the Senate, he turned to a colleague on the ‘This signs my political death warrant.” It did. Mr. McKinley was beaten for renomination by Mr. Frank Smith, whose only issue of any importance was an opposition to the court. Today in certain quarters in Illinois the recoil from the court as an alleged organ of the League seems to be just as alarmed and indignant as it ever was. Some of the roughest and most realistic sections of the Republican party in Chicago, in the midst of their normal concentrated pursuit of political | pay rolls and political contracts, have yet one mighty lofty principle which | raises them to the heights of impersonal patriotism. They are against the League and the court. They thereupon can and do support Mrs. McCormick against Mr. Deneen in the name of the Stars and Stripes and of the independence of the United States, which gives them a great warming glow of good citizenship. One important deflection in Illinois from the anti-court ranks must, how- ever be noticed. 8. O. Levinson of Chicago, inventor of the outlawry of war, used to be against the court, but now, in consequence of certain s in its constitution which he belleves that he secured from the of Nations last year, he is for it. To counter him, the McCormick forces are lmhflofl-tns into Illinois the eminent Philadelphia lawyer and ex-United States Senator, Mr. George Wharton Pepper, who will meet Mr. Levinson in high debate before a large audience and also before a radio broadcast micro- phone for the purpose of attempting to prove that Mr. Levinson was right the first time and is wrong now.

Plan Proposed in 1923. ‘The proposal to honor the memory and the achievements of Columbus by the erection of a light house on the coast of Santo Domingo, the first city founded in the New World, was given definite form at the fifth Pan American conference,, which met at Santiago. Chile, in 1923. Pursuant to a resolution adopted at that time, recommending| that the monument be erected with the co-operation of the governments and peoples of the American Republics, and of any others who may wish to partici- pate, the governing board of the Pan American Union appointed a perma- nent committee on the Columbus Memorial Light House. The permanent committee engaged the services of Albert Kelsey, F. A. I. A., as technical adviser, and formulated plans for a world-wide architectural competition. In the first stage of the competition, in which the competing architects were allowed the maximum freedom to express their ideas, 455 architects from 46 countries partici- pated.

TIPSY WAITER CROWNS A PEER,. . | WITH A DISH, AT DAWES' DINNER | Servant Who Skids Place, Spilling Si to Be Leon Errol. Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, March 27 (N.AN.A)— An eccentric waiter with collapsible legs first embarrassed and then ap-| palled and angered the guests at a| most exclusive dinner party Ambassador Dawes gave at the embassy, and London is talking about the affair with a cer- tain resentful amusement. The dinner took place some weeks ago, but the story was suppressed in London and has only now reached New York. Among the gpests are said to have been Lady Astor dnd the Span- ish Ambassador, Marquess Merry del Val, who is the most punctilious of persons. Several distinguished and somewhat rigid Britishers were pres- ent also. As the guests took their seats the singular clumsiness of the waiter forced itself upon their unwilling at- tention. He stumbled into the way of his irritated fellows, skidded perilously around corners, and had such a para- lytic grasp on silver and glassware that there were constant sharp crashes. Guests Attempt to Cover Up. Politely, the guests strove by rapid conversation to cover the confusion and spare their host embarassment. They marveled at the patience of the Am- bassador, who flushed, but managed to preserve his self control. Finally an involuntary Tttle cry of annoyance came sharply from one of the guests, a lady, when the waiter spilled the mineral water on her hand instead of pouring it into her glass, and then offered clumsy apologies. A situation even more trying arose a few minutes later when the waiter dropped a handful of knives and forks | flashlight, dived under the table and | fumbled about to retrieve what he had lost. Some of the silver had fallen near the feet of a lady, and from be- neath the table the waiter addressed her in a muffied voice: “Crowns” a Peer. ve over, please!” tions when the waiter committed a fresh and crowning atrocity by letting an entree dish fall with a merry ring upon the distinguished head of an elderly British peer. Ambassador Dawes half rose from his seat, but before he could speak, the waiter took on an alarming list, a list that certainly had no place in | horror. | Abolition of Liquor License Ap- and Staggers Over Iver, Turns Out embassy, and subsided slowly to his| knees, the entire dinner party regard- | ing him in stunned and speechless | It's Only a Comedian. Then Mr. Dawes spoke, and what he sald was in effect as follows: “This theatrical exhibition of drunkenness is | a jest. This isa dry dinner, so | thought we might liven it a little. That man,” and he pointed to the trate | servitor, “is not a waiter, is my close friend, that very 'minent comedian—Leon Errol.” And then—after a moment of quick mental adjustment among the guests| —came laughter. But the laughter was | not entirely spontaneous, and there were & few among the guests who did | not laugh at all. (Copyright, 1930.) .

The industrial areas generally voted strongly in favor of the retention of licenses. When the count closed just before midnight those opj to abolition of the license were 422,581 and those in favor of it were 326,553. There are still about 200,000 votes to be counted.
