...late there has been talk of a third isotope of hydrogen whose atomic weight should be approximately 3 as against deuterium's 2 and hydrogen's 1. Two members of Dean Lewis's staff reported finding it last autumn (TIME, Nov. 20). But they used the same magneto-optic method by which Professor Allison predicted deuterium, and among scientists the worth of this procedure is debatable. In England Lord Rutherford (who calls deuterium diplogen and its nucleus the diplon) bounced deutons against deutons. Each collision produced a proton and something new of atomic weight 3. But cautious...
...teams which had been training in Florida, California, Louisiana and Mississippi since early March, had started north, playing exhibition games on the way. The season was scheduled to begin April 16, at Washington, with President Roosevelt as a spectator. Major developments since the Giants won the World Series last autumn: a uniform ball for both leagues, like the one used by the American League; new managers for five of the 16 major-league teams...
...Second act of NRA was to supervise an election for the employes of Philadelphia's Budd Manufacturing Co.-an election to supersede two previous elections which resulted in the choice of a company union. All of Budd's 6,000 employes and 800 more who struck last autumn and have not been reinstated were invited to vote outside the plant under NRA auspices. First notices were posted in the plant telling employes they did not need to vote; then the A. F. of L. union told its members to boycott the election. Result: only 30 votes were cast...
...snatched from an undistinguished career as a clinical pathologist to guard Pittsburgh's health. Around him last week swirled the same charges of suppression which were piled on Chicago's Health President Bundesen after he made his long-delayed announcement of the amebic dysentery epidemic last autumn. It seemed evident that Pittsburgh's Health Department had suspected something wrong since mid-January, when McCreery's and another pet shop received dead and dying birds in shipments from California. The Department quarantined all the birds for ten days, then allowed them to be put on sale, even...
...geological disturbances, dense vegetation, frequent droughts and lack of modern machinery kept the infant industry of the Philippines from rapid development. Not until last year did Philippine business men really begin to discover how much balatoc there was in the bantay and what it was worth. One day last autumn an old man strode down the streets of Manila waving a bottle. Men buttonholed him on the sidewalks. "They all want to give me money," yipped Old Tom Leonard. Old Tom, Spanish-American War veteran, onetime Philippine policeman, had been digging in the Camarine mountains for 15 years. Waving...
