B—14 RAY TRANSMISSION TOMARSPOSSBLE Scientist Believes Short Enough Waves Could Penetrate Barrier. By the Associated Press BERKELEY, Cali, Novembx An inhabitant of Mars, looking & powerful telescope, some da 8 ray of light transmitted from t earth Dr. R. B. Brode physics at the Uni asserted yesterday to broadcast red light short-wave length, a Martian through a telesc the right time and in the p 1 n, probably would detect its gleam from the earth 35,000,000 miles awa Discusses Atmospheric The sclentist made the statement Ir discussing the announcement from London Saturday that Prof. E. V. Appleton had located what was believed to be the atmospheric layer abc he earth which ordinary radio waves can- not penetrate. Prof. Appleton found this layer 130 miles above the earth Previously a reflectl layer had been found about 60 mile ¥ This was called the “heaviside I There is slight dist radio and light waves, “The more the waves are shortened the more they become similar to visible light Visible light, of the sun msses readily through th jayers above the earth tremely t waves theoretically could reach Mars Barrier tion between said Dr. Brode Students Work on Subject. “A radio wave length would have to be about one one-thousandth of an inch to_be identical with light L. E. Reukema, associate professor of clectrical engineering at the unie versity, disclased that students had been working on the same general sub- Ject as that discussed by Prof. Appleton Reukema sald the investigators hoped to_learn how the atmospheric layers reflected radio waves in the belief that 1t might be possible to construct equip- ment that they would not affect Such a result would permit the use of television across oceans or over other Jong distances, Reukema said The transmission of images now is confined to short distances because of the reflection or refraction in the upper stmosphere. Prof. Reukema said the effective radius was “200 to 300 miles." ASSOCIATION TO HOLD FALL DANCE TONIGHT Americanization Group Event to Benefit Work on 1931-32 Program.

H Copyright, 1981) | TESTS REVEAL NEW SYNTHETIC RUBBER Salt, Water and Acetylene | Used to Manufacture Sup- plemental Product. By the Associated Press. AKRON, Ohio, November 3. —A mnfhl of salt. some water and acetylene are made into a new artificial rubber an- nounced last night to the rubber divis- ion of the American Chemical Society here. The synthetic rubber differs from the natural product and js announced as a | supplement rather than a substitute. The authors cf the report, three Du Pont Co. chemists, said that X-ray nearly like real rubber than artificial rubbers heretofore produced. The report was made by F. B. Down- prene, which is converted from watery state into a rubbery consistency by what chemists call polymerization. The new rubber was described as having certain important differences in properties fitting it for supplement- ing many of the thousands of uses of real rubber. It was claimed to be more resistant of kerosene, gasoline and other solvents, and more resistant to oxygen, ozane and It vuleanizes with heat alone instead of with heat and sulphur combined as in natural Tubber vulcanization. The synthetic rubber is a milk-white latex, resembling the white fluid of real rubber. The artificial fluid is com- posed of vulcanized synthetic rubber particles in water. This mixture dries into a sheet of fully vulcanized rubber, according to the scientific paper. It | was stated also that many porous articles which resist impregnation of natural rubber absorb the new syn- thetic kind. Two Killed in Church Panic.
