The theory necpshirated th* belief that the
electrons could only revolve in certain well-
defined orbits This was an unexpected situa-
tion which could not be explained on the basis
-of classical physics.
It was an attempt to explain that, which
led to wave mechanics De Broglie suggested
that each electron had associated with It a
train of waves. The possible orbits for elec-
trons were determined then by the size of their
wave-trains. 1 ..
Schrodinger, the German physicist, went
De Broglie one better and carried wave me-
chanies to its logical conclusion hy suggesting
that the electron be considered as nothing but
•a wave. In other words, while the quantum
theory would consider light as particles and pot
waxes, wave mechanics would consider matter
as waves and not particles.
The exneriment which Prof Denrpster per-
formed and which won him the prize, tends
to support this e treme view of Schrodinger.
In the. experiment, electrons were reflected
from the surface of a calcite crystal. Demp-
ster showed that the reftected etectrons were
distributed in waves and not reflected in the

The President Speeds the
Delegation ’
rHE American delegation to the London naval
I . conference may now be said to be off to
England. ,
True, the George Washington, which has
the honor of bearing the distinguished group
across the Atlantic, will not sail until" Thurs-
day, -but-the real good byes have been said and
final instructions given:
______Yesterday.. President- Hoover grouped the
delegation about him at breakfast. Just, what
he. said to them, in detail, is not a .matter of
public tecord, but that both he and they talked
in a spirit of optimism tinged with caution
is known. - . •'
The President and his delegation feel that
a five-power agreement to reduce the naval
burdens of the-world can be reached. Britain,
Japan, France, Italy and the United States will
each be represented by men whose very char-
acter should assure success, but there are
manifestly, many obstacles to overcome and
doubtless it will take time.
So, President Hoover warns the American
people not to become impatient. Three or four
months may be. required. The sense of secur-
-Uy of each nation must be satisfied, if the
conference is to succeed, and as the needs of
all vary, progress at times must necessarily be
low,
"It is the most important of international
conferences of a great many years, and prob-
ably the most ippgrtant for many years to
come," sald the President. “The progress of
peace fog the world rests in a great measure .
upon the shoulders of the five delegations."
Here, are grave words spoken, as it may
prove at a great moment-in history.
For tfose of us who stay behind, it will
be largely a question pt patience. Nor is it •
always the easiest task-that of -those who,
only stand and wait. Yet it is vastly important
that we should not allow ourselves tPbe swept .
off our feet by sudden, possible surface squalls
thus throwing about the London proceedings
an atmosphere prejudicial to suceess:

of international good will and it is the duty

Perhaps the worst feature from the viewpoint
of the layman is that both are now united in a
puzzle worse than either alone. ,
Thirty years ago scientists had a view of
the universe which was far simpler than that
held today. In general, there was considered
to be a sharp distingtjon between the nature of
matter and the nature of light.
Matter consisted of particles called atoms.
Light consisted of waves. By 1900, it-was
known that the atoms were composed of elec-
trona, but these were merely regarded as small-
er. particles.

NEW YORK—What's new tn
IN New York- D :W. Griffith,
who has been sleuthing about
town disguised ab the three
juggling Ginsbergs, has .finally
pouned upon Walter Huston
for the role, of "Lincoln.,” In
the talkie to.be made under
that title. ...Few character ac-
tors have drawn quite so many
hurrahs in lat* years as this ,
.Huston . ..New Yorkehs first
began getting exeited when he
appeared as Ephraim in. "De-
sire Under the Elms."... When
the films grabbed him, he ap-
"peared as the editor in "Ger-
tlrmen of the Press" . . . Then
.he hopped back on the stage
'to do a particularly fine bit
in "Th* Commodore Marries."
Which'reminds me thay do ‘
whisper about that Eugene :
O'Neil has worked out a
talking picture version of his -
"Desire Under the Elms," .but
unless film producers have
changed tastes -suddenly, I
can't. Imagine a great rush .for
this grjm tragedy of New
England.

self. Reed Smoot of Utah, the canniest among
them,.saved the day.
The fight was over keeping Senator La
Follette off the Senate Finance Committee.
The Issue was being decided in the Republican
Committee on Committees; "*
Four of the old guard—Reed._Mose>s, Bing-
ham and Deneen— were, so bothered by the
possibility of the Progressive La Follette get-
ting a seat on that powerful tarf and revenue
writing committed that-they cast votes-n favor
of a junior Senator and thus violated the .
seniority rule. ' /‛
It will be recalled that the Senate is pretty
well controlled by committees, which in turn
are in most cases controlled by the oldi.guard.
The secret of this old guard control is, of'
course, the unofficial seniority rule undr -
which length of service determines a member's
committee rights. '
The old guard tried to put Senator Thomas
on the Finance Committee, despite the fact
that Thomas had not requested the place and
is junfor to La Follette, who had 'requested it.
Ontythe wily Smoot, apparently, was calm j
enough to realize that altho the Progressives
for once would profit by the seniority rule, to
overthrow that rule would probably end in
complete rout of the old guard. So Smoot re-,
trained from toting, thus deadlocking, the
. Committee on Committee*. , ’
On more legitimate grounds—those of rep-
resentation of the Progressive group and those
of his own personal fitness for Finance Com-
•mittee membership—— La Follette deserves the
place The old gua rd ■ opposition to hi h
therefore , can be understood.
Buf it-will, be interesting to see whether
. the old guard will dare tinker with the senior
ity system which has hitherto perpetuated re-,
actionary power in" the Senate.
