Some of these little entities were charged with positive electricity, some with negative; some were electrically neutral or inert. Some were "heavy" or massive in relation to others-the ratio being about that of a ton to a pound. The physicists wound up. for the time being, with a nicely balanced table of discovered and hypothetical basic particles of matter, as follows...

...been proved. But in Chicago last week Physicist Francis R. Shonka of the University of Chicago reported high-altitude cosmic-ray experiments, in which he juggled various arrangements of Geiger-Muller cosmic-ray counters and selective lead shields, obtained evidence of something which he took to be electrically neutral particles of high penetrating power...
...Generalissimo has always tried to avoid costly positional battles with the overpowering, mechanized Japanese forces. At the same time his military advisers have scorned the opposite strategy, guerrilla warfare, as tactics fit only for the Eighth Route (former Communist) Army fighters. Neutral observers report, however, that the Japanese have been slain four to one in their skirmishes with the Communists.

Hong Kong dispatches this week reported Chiang & Advisers about...
