B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 17.—Lee Wilson ld, suthor, playwright and assistant Prof. George Pierce Baker in the laywriting courses of the Yale Univer- department of drama, died sud- lenly late yesterday. Dodd, who was visiting the home of Friends here when he died, was to have cceeded Prof. Baker next year. Death pparently was due to heart disease. He was known to theatergoers for his amatizations of “His Majesty Bunker " and “Pals First.” “The Change- s,” & comedy, was one of his most cessful dramatic works.

SCIENTISTS DECIDE NEUTRON EVER TO BE SEEN Particle Estimated at One-Millionth the Size of Smallest * Thing Microscope Can Bring Into View. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif, May 17.—Neu-| trons were the topic of discussion to- day in the conference of famous physi- cists seeking the secrets of life. k. It was the mission of Prof. Charles C. Lauritsen of X-ray tube fame to dis- cuss experimental evidence of the neu- tron. No scientist has ever seen a| neutron and all those who know about | neutrons are confident no person ever .will see one. ‘This is because the neutron is just one of the small mystery particles that are found in the make-up of atoms. In fact, says Dr. Lauritzen, the neutron is estimated to be amout one-millionth the size of the smallest thing that man's most powerful microscope Wwill ever Beyond the Microscope. 1t is about one-millionth the size the | smallest wave length of light, and| physicists say no man will ever see| anything smaller than the smallest wave length of light, simply because there is no light to see it in. | A neutron, says Dr. Lauritsen, is a proton without charge, and it might conceivably be a proton and a negative particle. Evidence of the existence of the neutron was found three years ago in Germany and later confirmed in France, England and in this country. Dr. Lauritsen is engaged in work with | the 900,000-volt X-ray tube here in studying neutron behavior. While these tiny atomic particles, including elec- trons, photons, neutrons, protons and positrons, are all too small ever to be seen, they can be studied by their tracks as they fly with tremendous speeds after atomic collisions. One thing peculiar to the neutron is the tremendous kinetic energy, that is, heat power, with which it is ejected when it takes a flight after an atomic colliston. Find Greater Obstacles. Dr. Niels Bohr, famous Copenhagen physicist, in whose honor this week's symposium on nuclear atomic structure is being held, last night told the physi- cists that while they are making great discoveries they in reality are only dis- covering greater obstacles in their search into the mystery back of the atom. The main difficulty, he explained, is that the units involved in their search are s0 invisibly small and of such tre- mendous energies that it is difficult to separate the effects they have upon the measuring instruments, which, when not known, cloud the result of the prob- lem. In other words, the tools are set in such motions that the motions of the objects studied can be determined only in a relative sense, and until it can be found out just how much mo- tion there is excited in the tools, the problem will not be solved correctly. |DR. DA COSTA, FAMOUS SURGEON-TEACHER, DIES Accompanied President Wilson to Peace Conference and Was Made Naval Commander. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—Dr. John | Chalmers Da Costa, internationally known surgeon and teacner, died yes- terday. He was 70.
