Scientists Hear Broadcast' ,*** *** sound That Started When Formation of the World Began Made Audible by Device Sponsored by Dr. Millikan. rv 7- u i ■ ' '•4® JWEr> dfl I'l-U Dr PobertA Mipukan Studying Cosmic Pays Valleys of 'Mars. ify Sounds made by atoms when they were born millions of years ago, and which have been traveling towards •e earth ever since—and even before its creation—have been caught and made audible by the latest miracle of science. Dr, Robert Millikan, of >he California Institute of Technology, w ore «.„-•■ u ves.gating the mysterious cosmic rays has brought him world fame, demonstrated the latest scientific marvel at the annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science at New Drleans, La. The sounds of atomic formation are brought to earth by the cosmic rays and, according to Dr. Millikan, are '■ e , Very j"/** ,ount ' s made nt the beginning of creation. The device whereby they are picked up and made audible is known as a "Greiger counter,” and was devised by the physics department of the Rice Institute at Houston, Texas. It consists of a container filled with electrified gas through which the cosmic rays plunge, setting up an electric impulse which in turn is translated into clicks by a powerful loud Muri r " -A S individual ray makes its own click, the succession resembles the ticking of a clock. Dr Millikan intimated that this activity of the cosmic rays proves that the process of creation is still going en somewhere, although perhaps outside our universe.

i New Orleans, La.—Although radio is now as familiar in American home life as the domestic cat, we still marvel at the miracle of being aide to sit comfortably in any of ou 48 states and listen to music and speeches that are being made in any part of the country. It is wonderful, but beside the latest discovery of science it is I mere child’s play; for even now it , has been made possible to pick up | a broadcast that was "put on the l air" thousands upon thousands of i millions of years ago. when the at- ' oms that compose this world of ■ ! ours were “born." ■ I Dr. Robert A. Millikan, of the I California Institute of Technology is the sponsor for the "messages" from interstellar space, which instead of being brought to the ears of listeners by radio waves are borne to earth by the mysterious ; cosmic rays, about which so little is known and which exist everywhere —even where there is appar.l ently absolute nothingness. This sound is caught and amplified by a machine known as a “Ge- | iger counter’’—devised Qy the phyI j sics department of the Rice Instii ' title at Houston, Texas.

Dr. Millikan displayed the machine here at the annual meeting of the Association for the Advance-j ment o.' Science, and among tiie many wonders exhibited at the con- ' vention of savant's it is the mo:r , wonder, ul. The machine itself consists of a ■ container filled with electrified gas | through which the ever-present cos- ! , mic rays plunge, as they do through I . everything they encounter, with a I ■ power capable of penetrating twen- j . ty feet of lead. In passing through | ( the gas, the rays set in motion elet I , tricai impulses’ which in turn a.e . translated into clicks by means of , a powerful loud speaker. Each individual ray makes its ■: own elick and the succession comes | in rhythtnic regularity like the tick- - ing of a dock.

'I I New York, the distinguished scien- ■ list exhibited photographs which apparently showed the breaking i down of die atom against the impact of the cosmic rays. The piclures were made by D . Carl I). Ah- | derson, Dr. Millikan’s assistant at the Pasadena institution, who had taken two years at the task, making over 1,000 photographs, out of which eleven we;e successful. The theory rega.ding the cosmic rays, championed by Dr. Millikan, I is that they are generated in the spaces between the stars. ThrougI out the universe in these spaces, | elections and p.otons combine to | form hydrogen at ms which gather in balls until some of them become | atoms of helium, iron, silicon oxygen and such lighat elements. Each such step in atom building results in the discharge of a cosmic ray of certain wave length. I Dr. Millikan, a close pe.sonal f. iend 0.

BELCHING Belching Made Hi tn Ait Outcast

He was a clean-cut, clever, likeable chap, but bis friends carefully avoided him. Business associates were not always so tactful. His life was miserable because belch ing, one of the forms of hyperacidity (excess acid) in addition to the physical discomfiture, virtually made him an outcast. Vast numbers of people today, because of the way we live ami the acid-forming foods we eat, are victims of an acid condition of the stomach ami intestipes. Belching, indigestion, gas, heartburn, sick headachbs, biliousness, loss of sleep, pain after eating, peplessness indicate the need of correcting the acid condition of the stomach and intestines. There is no need for anyone to have the offensive habit of belching or any of the rest of these tor-
