According to the publishers of "Mad Hatter's Village," by Mary Cavendish Gore, the authoress' first published novel, she were out three different typewriters composing twelve earlier ones. Different publishers asked Miss Gore, or sometimes the pseudonymous persons she pretended to be, to revise five of these novels but she spurned such requests. However, she completely rewrote "Mad Hatter's Village" which was a conversation in its original form...
...Columbia University has baptized the isotope of heavy hydrogen he discovered two years ago deuterium (Greek deuteros, second). He wants deuteron or deuton to be the name of its atomic nucleus. Discussing the matter last December before the Royal Society, Lord Rutherford, head of Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, said: "While we all realize that the first discoverer has a strong claim in suggesting an appropriate name ...[I and my colleagues favor] the name diplogen (Greek diploos, double) for heavy hydrogen, and diplon for the nucleus." Last fortnight in the British scientific journal Nature was printed a letter entitled...
...cannot be said that the young Curie-Joliots discovered neutrons, elusive, electrically inert particles 1,845 times as heavy as electrons. Neutrons were produced incognito by them and other researchers. Dr. James Chadwick of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory first proclaimed neutrons for what they were (TIME, March 7, 1932). The Curie-Joliot work on radiation was a stout prop for Dr. Chadwick, and his proclamation was confirmed by the French couple who experimentally showed that neutrons behaved as only electrically dead particles could (TIME, Aug. 1, 1932). Hailed in every physical journal...
...Curie-Joliot report stirred Lord Rutherford, director of Cavendish Laboratory, to begin confirming experiments. Said he, "It is remarkable that the life of the unstable atom produced is as long as it is. We do not know whether the atoms so far made artificially radioactive are typical or whether other unstable atoms which may be produced will have a longer or shorter life. The discovery of the Joliots shows how little we really know about radioactivity...
...forward in his seat, Queen Mary raised her lorgnette with approving interest. On the stage of the Drury Lane Theatre at a command performance for the King's pension fund for British stage folk, blonde U. S. Actress Claire Luce and Dancer Fred Astaire. brother of Lady Charles Cavendish, were doing their light-footed, rubber-hipped dance from the musicomedy Gay Divorce. ¶Arrested three weeks ago for "uttering, knowing the contents thereof to be false, a letter demanding money from the King, with menaces," one Clarence Guy Gordon-Haddon, 43, unemployed engineer and War veteran, was committed...
