That was all he had time to say, for the officials of Adano left the room quickly. In any case, it was all the Major was able to say. The committee of ng in the entrance hosts stood hall of waiti- Quattroc-chi- s house. Old Bellanca was there, ex officio, and Cacopardo, the only resident of Adano who owned a coat and the only one swallow-ta- il who would wear one if he had it, and the fat Craxi, who appeared to have exceeded his limit of three bottles of wine for dinner, and Signora Carmelina Spinnato, representing as well as she could the fair sex, and the white-haire- d Lojacono, who was included because he had done such a good picture.- The ones - committee who were absent were Tomasino, out of respect for the dead fishermen, and Gargano, who was otherwise engaged. It was ten minutes after starting time, and the guest of honor had not arrived. Giuseppe, who bad arranged the whole thing, hovered in the background, saying over and over: The Mister Major will be here any minute now. The Mister Major was at that min-ute calling for Tina, and Tina, in the way of all women, either was not ready or was not willing to admit that she was ready. Finally, at a quarter to eight, Tina came out of her room. She was dressed in a flimsy white blouse and a huge red taffeta skirt. Major Joppolos slight annoyance at being kept waiting dissolved at once. This was worth waiting all night for, he said. Tina curtsied gravely. She gathered some of her skirt on her left arm and reached with her right hand for Major Joppolos arm. He offered it to her and the couple left, shouting good-byto Tomasino and Rosa, who was beady with perspiration from helping her daughters get '' of the es ready. On berto their way down the Via Umthe First the couple heard two small children crying. In the darkening evening they could just make out two little figures huddled on the curb on the other side of the street. They crossed. They found the ragged little son of Erba and the grandson of Cacopardo sitting with their arms around each other crying hard. Major Joppolo crouched down and Patted the boys backs and asked what the matter was. well-dress- SNAPPY FACTS W.N.U.

I have been looking for 1116 balconies PUi.0 and in all the bedrooms. That was hardly necessary, Giuseppe, the Major said. What did you want? Fat Craxi and your Sergeant, they are misbehaving. I cant do anything with them. The Major said to Tina: "Wait here, and he went off with Giuseppe to find Craxi and Borth. Major Joppolo said sharply: Borth, behave yourself. When tiie Major spoke so angrily, Sraxi tiptoed out of the room, and Giuseppe followed him to keep an eye on him. The Major and Borth were alone. The Major spoke again: Behave yourself or go home. Borth was drunk because of the Major.- He had never been drunk in uniform before. But when the Major spoke so angrily, that streak of contrariness in Borth which made him tease people so much, which made him always laugh at serious people and deflate pompous ones, came out in him. He said thickly: "You cant boss me around. - Sergeant Borth," the Major said, with obvious emphasis on the word Sergeant. Dont Sergeant me, Borth said: you have no thority to boss me. I have just as much authority as I ever had, and if you dont behave Oh no you havent, Borth said. You cant boss anybody, not in Adano. Borth, youre drunk. Now be- have. Joppolo, youre fired. You been relieved. Youre nobody round here. And Borth began to cry again. Borth, I dont know what youre talking about, but I The Major broke off and went over to Borth and took him by the arm, to try to lead him out. Take your hands off me, Borth said. He reached in his pocket and said: Here, read that. Major Joppolo read the order recalling him from Adano. Where did you get this? he asked. Borth was crying again. Your desk. I wanted to keep you from seeing it until after the party. Victor Joppolo put up a beautiful front for the rest of the evening, until the very moment when he was saying good night to Tina just inside her front door. Then he put his arms around her and said miserably: Im so unhappy. Tina pushed back and looked at his face. She put her hands on his shoulders and said: But I thought you were so happy? The Major was in control of himI am, he said, Im self again. sorry. Is it because of your wife? Tina sskcdt No, Tina, its nothing. Then, in the shadow of the stairway of her house, he kissed her tenderly and 'T'wT. - r Till I see you again. Sbe was frightened and she said: , What is the matter? Why did you say good-by- e instead of good night? What is the matter? s ' Nothing, Tina. Good night, Tina." It was the middle of the morning before Major Joppolo could get his papers straightened up and his directions given. The Major called the motor pool and asked for a jeep to take him to Vicinamare. Then he told Borth: I dont want to say good-by- e to anyone, Borth. I dont know whether I could. Borth did not mock this morning. He said: "I am sorry about last night, Major. My intentions were good. I wanted you to have a good last-minu- te time at the party." I know." The Major thought a minute and then said: Borth, try to help whoever takes my place to try to do a good job in Adano. Borth said: Im afraid it will be that awful dope from Pontebasso. The Major said: I hope not. Ada- no needs an understanding man. Borth said: Adano needs you, Major. The Major said: Too late to talk about that. I wonder how Marvin ever found out about the carts. Borth suspected Captain Purvis, but he said: One of his staff must have driven through or something. The Major said: Yes, I guess so. The jeep came. So as not to arouse suspicion, Borth went with the driver to the Majors house and got his baggage. His entire possessions consisted of a bedroll, with his clothes rolled into it. When the jeep got back to the Palazzo, Major Joppolo took his portrait under his arm and went downstairs and got in. i He shook Borths hand but he did not say good-byThe lazy Fatta, standing on the sidewalk, said by way of making conversation: Going somewhere? Major Joppolo tried to sound cheerful as he said: Not far. How is Carmelina this morning? The lazy Fatta said: She is making a rabbit stew. The driver said: Where to. Major? The Major did not want to say Vicinamare, so that Fatta or anyone else could hear it. Perhaps he could not say it. Anyhow, he just said: This way, and he pointed out the Corso Vittorio Emanuele. About four miles outside the town the Major said to the driver: Stop a minute, would you please? The driver stopped the jeep. Listen, the Major said. Do you hear something? It was a fine sound on the summer air. The tone was good and it must have been loud to hear it as far as this. Just a bell, the driver said. Must be eleven oclock. Yes, the Major said. He looked over the hills across the sea, and the day was as clear as the sound of the bell itself, but the Major could not see or think very clearly. Yes, he said, eleven oclock.

Gasoline is rich in hydrogen atoms, and they provide most of the power that drives the car . . . Atomic power is one of the few great discoveries that was the goal of the longest and most difficult series of researches in history. Most momentous discoveries were accidents: The invention of fire, the discovery of America, the discovwere ery of oxygen and the all the result of accident. WNU 4S-4- S X-r- ay In 1905, a young patent office clerk in Switzerland developed a theory which involved the idea that under certain conditions matter could be changed into energy and energy into matter. According to that theory, a very small amount of matter could produce tremendous quantities of energy. This has become the basic principle for atomic power. Yet science ignored this theory for 15 years. The young patent office clerk's name: Albert Einstein.

The peacetime role of atomic energy will depend upon one consideration relative cost. Until a method of producing the energy has been revolutionized and brought down to a low figure, it is likely to provide a source of energy in extremely concentrated form only for highly specialized industrial purposes . . .

Most of the atom is composed of empty space. It is made of an orbit of electrons revolving around the nucleus much as planets revolve about the sun. An electron is merely a particle of electricity . . . The atoms nucleus contains all its colossal energy. It took scientists more than 50 years of research to unlock the nucleus so it could give up that power Uranium has made the atomic bomb the most devastating explosive. Yet the bomb uses only of one per cent of uraniums potential strength . . . Another reason why the United Nations should stick together: They posof the worlds sess uranium supply.
