Plato. One-Cent Rail Fare for Soldiers A young soldier, one of the first to be called for military mili-tary training, was home from camp during a recent weekend. week-end. He was getting along fine in the Army, he said, but it certainly was good to be home and see his family and his friends. "I wish that I could come home oftener it means so much to my folks," he added. That wish finds an echo in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of men training in camps throughout the country, and in the desires of the millions "back home." Standing in the way of its fulfillment is only the cost of railroad transportation. At $21 a month or even $30 soldiers now cannot afford train rides of any distance as often as they would like or as often as relatives and .friends would choose. Obtaining leave is not difficult, for the Army seems liberal in that respect. But military regulations regu-lations forbid soldiers from soliciting rides with motorists and thus make men in service more dependent upon railroad rail-road transportation. A special penny-a-mile rate for soldiers in uniform would be a just and deserved concession by the railroads to young men who, in many instances, are making sacrifices sacri-fices to prepare themselves for the defense of our country. During the World War, when the standard passenger rate was 3 cents a mil, railroads sold round-trip tickets to officers and men on furlough for 1 cent a mile. Today, while no such general reduction is in effect, railroads are selling round-trm tickets for "weekend periods in specific cases" at than the 2-cent rate. The railroads now should revive the World War policy of a penny-a-mile, and apply it to all soldiers in uniform traveling letven their encampments and, thrir homes. By doing so, the railroads would contribute much to the happiness and contentment of the soldiers in whom the yearning for home is strong. This should be done. And it can be done if the people urge it.

That's unfortunate, because they would probably learn American ways and establish themselves far more quickly in small towns. But most of them, being involuntarv and not voluntary immigrants, immi-grants, still hope to set back to Europe some day. Those who really want to stay in America after the war having established themselves, will stay; many will return. But in the meantime, until the United States has provided refuge for 10 times as many homeless people as have now found it here, there wouldn't seem to be any reason to worry about American life being engulfed by a foreign tide. errors which ancea nt la s- "What Else Can a Small Nation Do?"

Lawrence Smashes Atoms to Release Vast Power This is the sixtn of a series of 12 articles introducing you to America's foremost scientists. BY WATSON DAVIS Director, Science Service Written for NEA Service A modern scientific Jove who is planning to attack the citadel cita-del of tha atom wiln a nundred million volts is Nobeiist Ernest Orlando Lawrence. ' He may unlock un-lock the door to fabulous atomic riches. In the side of a California mountain there is being built one of science's most amazing machines, a mighty battering-ram with which to attack the atom in the hope of releasing ihe pent-up power that exists there. It is a giant cyclotron, a device for imparting im-parting high energies to bits of matter. It will be completed probably prob-ably in 1942. Young Professor ' Lawrenfte is the inventor of this kind of apparatus, ap-paratus, an achievement that has brought him world fame. The latest and largest model is now building and will be completed in three years. It is costing $1,500,-000. $1,500,-000. Its magnet will weign 9,800,-000 9,800,-000 pounds 4900 tons. It. is a scientific achievement in the same class with the 200-inch telescope.' MANY CYCLOTRONS IN OPERATION Professor Lawrence has two smaller cyclotrons in operation at Berkeley, one of them the present world's largest. There are nearly a score of lesser cyclotrons cyclo-trons in universities ana research laboratories throughout the world. These are all offspring of a little lit-tle device that young Lawrence exhibited to the National Academy Acad-emy of Sciences when it met at Berkeley in the fall of 1930. It looks like a glass rrying pan. He could generate high voltage particles parti-cles with his electrical nierry-go-round, a sort of magnetic slingshot sling-shot that whirls particles around and around spirally by shifting1 electrical fields. The trick Avas to gives pushes to the atomic frag-, ments at just the right time to build up their energies. High energies, measured in electron-volts by the millions, were achieved without the use of high voltage "artificial lighting" dangerous dan-gerous to handle ana difucult to generate. New radioactive chemical elements ele-ments have been made in Professor Profes-sor Lawrence's cyclotrons. The firmest bonds within the atom have been wrenched. In the exciting quest for atomic power the cyclotron is a major uranium atom and releases power. Only minute amounts of uranium-237 uranium-237 have been isolated as yet, but the release of energy within the atom, long a scientiiic dream, does seem to be around the corner of the next decade or century. Nobeiist No-beiist Lawrence is one of the tool-makers tool-makers who are building this dream into reality. NEUTRONS AID MEDICOS Most beneficial to the human race may be the cyclotron's contribution con-tribution to medicine. High energy en-ergy neutrons neutral atomic particles may prove more useful in treating cancer than X-rays and radium. j These neutrons are the product of the cyclotron. The artifically j radioactive substances created by the cyclotron can be used as tracers trac-ers by which physiologists can follow the course of food or drugs through the human or animal body. The atoms of the radioactive radio-active substances explode and signal sig-nal their presence ,like a signal locket at sea. They may give us ciews to the cause and cure of many diseases. Professor Lawrence is not yet 41. He was 3S when he received the Nobel prize in physics in 1938. He was only 29 when he invented in-vented the cyclotron. He is one of the outstanding products of the SUNDAY, MARCH 30, by Williams vy Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence super-postgraduate training that is made possible by the fellowships fellow-ships of the National Research Council given to promising young scientists who have already earned their Ph.D.'s. He was a National Research fellow at Yale for two years after he received his graduate gradu-ate degree there in 1925. Since 1927, he has worked at the University of California which under his influence has become one of the strongest centers for physics research in the world. NEXT: Synthetic mica.

A. C.'s annual poetry reading festival, held Thursday on the beautiful Logan college campus, featured Provo poets as guest readers. Unfortunately, few cf our poets were able to attend. Dr. Carlton Culmsee, Elsie C. Carroll, Stella P. Rich and Anna Prince Redd representing our district, and, with the exception of one Ogden writer, Blanche Kendall Ken-dall McKay, the only guest readers read-ers from arty part of the state. The morning meeting leaturea high school students from various nearby schools, including Ogden, Weber, Cache and Davis, Lincoln and Provo high schools and South Idaho schools; ;then followed the Agricultural College group and those reading original verse. This last group gave us a distinct surprise. sur-prise. Little eix-year old Anna Beth Nielsen, whose mother, Ven-tta Ven-tta L. Nielsen, Is a frequent poetry prize winner, was to be expected; but the number of boys participating two to one over the girls was a distinct addition. Much of this original verse was as sophisticated as modern verse calls forth, none of it was trite and sentimental as such verse usually is. All of it was stimulating stim-ulating an dwholesome. In the minds of the judges this La one of the measurable results of the festival a heightened appreciation appreci-ation of quality and content of poetry. Poetry volumes were awarded the prize winners in all groups. In the 'experienced readers' group, the judges declined giving a decision, suggesting that since the readers did such a uniform job, they be permitted to draw lots. The 2 o'clock session presented pre-sented the same students in impromptu im-promptu readings, selected from the syllabus of poems compiled by the college from poems read at other festivals, each drawing his poem from a box, given a few minutes to become acquainted with it and then reading it to the group. At 11 o'clock, Channing Pollock, International 1 y fa mous playwright, play-wright, talked before the student body and townspeople. "WAKE UP AMERICA!" was his subject. At least the part of America that was his audience for that electric hour will never be quite so much asleep again.

Anthony's eyes avoided hers. His lips tightened, and he answered an-swered hurriedly, "Oh, I heard it somewhere." But Beatrice wasn't satisfied. 'Where could you possibly have heard it?" she persisted. "It isn't the sort of thing "that would be mentioned in the papers. At least" she caught herself "at least, I didn't see it in any gossip column, or anything like that." Anthony said uncomfortably, "I don't remember where I heard it. Maybe she didn't buy him polo ponies. What earthly difference does it make to us?" "None, of course." She lifted her coffee cup. "What time do you have to be in class?" "Eighty-thirty. We still have an hour." He leaned across the table, and the fleeting uneasiness between be-tween them was gone. "Listen, Bee, I had a brainstorm today. It was so busy, I kept hearing the girls saying 'I wish she'd make up her mind!' and suddenly, out of he blue, I got this idea." "What idea?" "Well, you remember those things you said about helping customers cus-tomers choose the proper clothes? Today, one after another, I heard women saying, 'But I don't know if it'll go with my hat!' things like that. I never really paid a great deal of attention to the selling sell-ing angle before, but since that talking-to you gave me about customers cus-tomers benefiting by a salesgirl's opinion ..." "You're just trying to ring me in on this idea of yours. You're trying to give me some credit for it, beforehand, if it's good." "No, I'm not. I'm trying to get some help from you. Because we'll both have to work on this." "Tell me about it, quickly." tirPHE departments upstairs A the College Shops and Young Sophisticate and the Little Shop and even the Salon have a stylist, don't they? That sort of service comes much too high for a base need said: "America, the unchal-j lenged peer in crime, money ium ; and idleness, needs to get down to work with its hands." He challenged our smug self satisfaction and the prevailing discontent with our democratic system of government. "It isn't the system that won't work" he said, "but the people! We must have a mental, spiritual and moral awakening, and return to industrial life hard labor and clear thinking." "But don't" he pleaded, "make up your minds as you do your beds to go to sleep on!" America In "white collar" is jeopardizing its own defense program pro-gram with her lack of mechanical and industrial tradesmen. Education, Educa-tion, says this writer, has been too easy to come by. "There is no lack of thinking in America, but certainly no epidemic of it." At the close of his talk he paid Utah this tribute: "The proudest thing in Utah is the limited number num-ber who have accepted relief. I bow to my former state. . . " In the afternoon, Mr. Tollock read several of his poems reluctantly, reluc-tantly, since he is not best known as a verse writer delighting his audience with his friendliness and wit. The highlight of the' festival for Provo writers, however, was the ride home from Logan wlt Mr. Pollock in our car, en route to Price for his next lecture engagement; en-gagement; dinner in Salt Lake, and the three hours of intimate talk with this fascinating, lovable writer, who kissed the ladies goodbye good-bye and promised to bring Mrs. Pollock to see us. Said he deplores de-plores so-called realism in our present books and the flood of "Nt smellers'' that is sweeping the country. He loves simple, affectionate af-fectionate things, and proves it in his WTitings. After this present scourge, "America," he says, "shall have a new birth of freedom, and that go-ernment of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

But suppose, Bee here s the big idea, so listen suppose in Budget Fashions we had ready-assembled costumes? "I don't mean simply display ing a hat, some gloves and a hand bag together, near a dress, the way things are displayed in show windows. I mean that we could have a regular accessory section. Eacfi item would be keyed to a dress, or to several dresses, in StOCk. . "Instead of a salesgirl advising the customer, as you tried to do, all. sales would be co-ordinated. In other words, automatically, as a matter of policy, a salesgirl would show hat, bag, extra belts, collars whatever it happened to be every time she showed a dress. There could be some line about, 'Of course you're not obliged to buy these, but it does give you an idea of how much you can do with this one dress.' "I think it would make sales easier to close, and certainly the customer who isn't god on seeing see-ing the possibilities of a dress would find shopping easier." He was talking rapidly and enthusiastically, en-thusiastically, his whole face animated. ani-mated. ."From the merchandising angle, we'd turn over double or triple the accessory goods we do now. Of course, we'd have to see that items from different manufacturers were all keyed in color and style to harmonize or complement each other. We'd have to co-crdinate our buying in some way to have every item fit in with every other as far as style, quality and finish go. "And the prices, too. You can't sell a $5 hat to match a $4 dress. But all that's pure mechanics. The idea of ensembled sales, ensem-bled ensem-bled showing, ensembled fitting and an ensembled technique throughout Budget Fashions is the thing. Bee, I'm sure, if they'd let us experiment in a small way, we could prove the idea's valuable!" "Anthony, it sounds wonderful!" She remembered all the fretful customers whom she hadn't been able to convince simply by telling them about the collars and belts that would liven up a basically good dress. "It's so practical, too, because it's simple. You show a woman a dress. You get the hat, the belt, the collar and show her that That's demonstration. She can see the effect for herself. Why, it's marvellous! I'm sure sales will simply soar. "And you know what else, An-tcny? An-tcny?
