Shakers in All Shapes

MRS. LONA FIGG, 5104 Bay st., never hears the end of it if she accidentally forgets to put salt and pepper shakers on the dinner table. For she has 203 pairs of them and they come in every shape, size and color imaginable. Mrs, Figg has been collecting the salt and pepper sets for the last five years. She keeps most of them just for ornaments. Many of the shakers were bought right here in Indianapolis. In the last two or three years Mrs. Figg started collécting them from other cities and states. So far, she has sets from 18 different states, Washington, D, C, two from Canada and one from Cuba. Mr, Figg, who was discharged from the army just three months ago, bought 11 pairs of the shakers when he was stationed in various states during his army service, 4. . The collection includes all kinds of china anirnals, birds, fish, vegetables and fruits. Some of the shakers are shaped like houses, skulls, bombs, candle holders, trunks and hands.

A NEW chapter in the story of atomic energy may begin with the completion of the huge cyclotron at

the University of California,

As a result, scientists may find it possible to re-

lease atomic energy from a large number of common @

substances and not .merely from such rare elements as uranium and thorium. In this connection, it is well to understand the connection between ‘the cyclotron and the atomic bomb, a subject which apparently was not very well understood by the ‘persons in- the war department who ordered the de‘struction of the Japanese cyclotrons. A cyclotron is not an industrial machine for making atomic bombs. It is a scientific instrument for

investigating the

structure of atomic nuclei. It has the same relationship to the new science of nucleonics that the tele-

scope has _to astronomy or the miscroscope bacteriology.’

Used in Research

Similarly the cyclotron promises to be one of the most

up new chapters in atomic research.

Just as in the case of the telescope, the tendency has been to build bigger and bigger telescopes, so the trend has been toward biggér and bigger cyclotrons.
