NEW PHYSICS AXIOM INTERESTS SCIENCE Principle of “Identity” Promises to Explain Paradoxes. By the Assoclated Press. BERKELEY, Calif, September 20. Identity, a new principle of physics, at- | tracted the attention of the National | Academy of Sciences today at its closing session at the University of California. Identity enables pAysicists to cam- pare two particles without use of old- fashioned measuring methofs, It prom- ises to explain some of the paradoxes that have puzzled scientists. The principle was developed by Dr.| Gilbert N. Lewis of the University of California, who recently proposed “two- | way time” and who is a world authority on thermo-dynamics and atomic ‘struc- | ture. He showed that in mathematical | physics time in the sense of future or ast is not necessary. Physics prob- ems work out as correctly running back- ward as forward. Explanation of Identity. Explaining identity, a new concept of many scientists, he sal “In the old physics, if we had to eompare two particles, we could meas- ure with increasing accuracy their masses or electric charges or some such properties and say that the particles are | or are not the same within the limits | of experimenal error. “Now we are becoming aware that we have other methods which even with- out exact measurements tell us some- | times that the two particles are or are | not identical Sameness Is New Problem. | “In the old physics the question was how nearly alike are the two. The new problem is to find whether they are exactly identical or not. “We find, in fact, that certain quite simple phenomena enable us to ascer- tain often without exact measurement this question of identity or non-identity. It has been believed generally, for ex- ample, for & long time that any two electrons are exactly alike intrinsically. The principle of identity draws the con- sequences of this assumption and shows mathematical and physical consequences that have not been hitherto pointed out. “Suppose for example that we have & molecule of two atoms. Let us con- | sider two such molecules and study | their speotrum lines (the lines that | light from them through a prism make en a photographic plate). Twice as Many Lines in One. “We thought them the same, but find that one has twice as many lines | as the other, and the reason, we dis- | cover, is this: The molecule with the smaller number of lines is composed of | two atoms exactly identical, but the | one with double the number of lines | is composed of two atoms which at| first sight appear identical, but prove to be slightly different. “One atom, for example, might have a mass of 16 and the other 17. It is not this difference in mass nor any distinction that can be brought out by ordinary physical measurements, but the absolute identity or non-identity of the atoms determines whether we find a single or double set of spectral lines. $25,000 Gift Is Announced. ‘The academy announced today estab- lishment of the John J. Carty medal and award for the advancement of science. It is & $25,000 trust fund, given the academy by friends of Mr. Carty in the American Telephone & Telegraph | Co. It is given in recognition of his contributions to fundamental and ap- plied science while in telephone work, and is to be used by the academy for advancement of science. | The scientific sessions will be resumed Monday at California Institute of ‘Technology, at Pasadena. . RASKOB DENIES TRUST FUND FIXED FOR SON New. York Newspaper Says Poli- tician Established $2,000,000 Sum | for Son After His Marriage. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 20.—The New York Daily News says today that John J. Raskob has set aside a trust fund of $2,000,000 for his son and bride, to become operative upon their mar- riage. John J. Raskob, jr., son of the chair- man of the Democratic National Com- mittee, and Miss Minerva Aaronson, pecretary for a New Haven byokerage house, will be married next Spring. Formal announcement of the en- gagement is made by Mrs. Elicabeth | Aaronson, mother of the prospective | bride. Miss Aaronson is 19 years old. They met when Raskob attended Yale. He was graduated last June. The New York World satd Mr. Raskob Jaughed away reports of the $2,000,000 | trust fund as “just gossip.” “John, jr., is a working boy,” he | said. “He is employed by a firm near Boston and isn't going to be set up in business.” | | Prizes are being offered by the Incor- | porated Association of Architects and | Surveyors of Britain for designs of & model gasoline service station ___ RESORTS. + | with sawed-off shotguns entered the | States. Couple Reconciled By Wife’s Bullets; Drop Divorce Suits KNOXVILLE, Tenn., September 20 (N. A. N. A).—The course of true love may not run smooth, but it takes more than a few bullet holes to put bumps in it. ‘Two months after his wife had shot him in the abdomen after seeing him with another woman, Henry Hickey, city fireman, stated: “My wife and ¥ are living to- ether. Both our divorce suits | | ave been dropped, and I'm not prosecuting her for shooting me. The other woman is just a memory.” Mrs. Hickey, after showing her husband the light through a bul- let-punctured skin, followed the ambulance to the hospital and re- mained constantly at his bedside i during his convalescence. - Then | | she took him home.

By the Associated Press. PALO ALTO, Calif., September 20.— | § Discoveries of peculiarities in vibration that promise to be useful in adding to safety of buildings during earthquakes were explained to the National Academy of Sciences here today. Dr. Lydik S. Jacobsen, assistant pro- fessor of mechanical engineering, showed how small changes in rates of vibration produce unexpectedly large changes in action of the earth's surface. It hoped from these studies, he said, to be able to classify varlous soils, showing how they differ in transmit- ting vibrations, so buildings may be planned to meet the peculiarities of each loeality. Experiments and theoretical studies show sand 30 feet deep will transmit at the surface 90 per cent of a vibra- tion traveling to and from beneath it at a rate of 60 times a second. Sand 221), feet deep multiplies this percentage to 140, 15-foot sand to 1556 and 74- | foot sand only to 110 per cent. But if the vibrations are increased to 120 n second, the 7%-foot layer jumps to 175 per cent, the 22%-foot layer drops to 80 and the other two drop slightly. ‘The vibration effects are complicated, Dr. Jacobsen said, and working them | out will require much study. | Studies have been undertaken of the | hammer action exerted by water against the face of a dam during an earth- quake. GANGSTERS .TRAIL AND SLAY ENEMY Alleged Builder of Illicit Brew- | eries Found in Cousin's Home and Shot. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich, September 20.— | Camelo Castiglione, builder of illicit | breweries, was shot down last night by two men in the home of his cousin, | where he was “hiding out” after receiv- ing threats of death. It was the gangland killing of the week here. Relatives told lice that two men house as they were seated at the dinner table. Castiglione, they said, grabbed his pistol, which lay under a napkin, shot once and started toward the in- vaders, ‘The two men fired four charges and Castiglione fell dead. Then the as- sassins fled in an automobile. Police said Castiglione had been en- gaged in Setting up breweries and giv- ing instructions in their operaiion. Relatives said he received warning that he was marked for death and re- mained all day yesterday in his cousin's home, his pistol always at JAIL NOTORIOUS CROOK Man Wanted in New York, Palm Beach and France Gets 4 Years. BERLIN, September 20 () —Herbert | Sandowski, notorious international erook and jailbreaker, was sentenced to four yeers' imprisonment for burglary today. Sandowski escaped from Tegel Prison | in Berlin on June 30 of this year while serving a three-and-one-half-year sen- | tence for inciting a prison rebellion pending his extradition to the United He was captured in_ Karlsruhe in July and was charged with breaking into a villa there. Sandowski was said by the German police to have stolen hundreds of thou- sands of dollars’ worth of jewelry in New York, Palm Beach and elsewhere. for which he was wanted in the United States.
