SCIENTISTS tried many way* of smashing atoms. Knocking l
electrons out of their orbits was easy but the energy released
was small compared to what could be done if the nucleus, which \
contained nearly all the mass of the atom, could be split. In 1932 |
the neutron was discovered and in 1939 it was found that a
neutron, fired like a bullet, could split the nuclei of some atoms. ,
In some other atoms it would lodge in the undivided nuclei and
start a remarkable chain of events. When nuclei in the first type
of atom fly apart, they give off blasts of energy like toy bolloons
popped by a pin, but the atomic force is billions of times greater.

For 1946
By DOROTHY ROE
(/P) Fashion Editor
American women are going fem
inine with a bang after the severe
silhouette of the war years. Real
hoop skirts are in the fashion line
up for spring. 1946, along with
padded hips, sloping shoulders, ac
centuated bustlings and corsets
worn in bathing suits.
After every war there is a
change in the fashionable silhou
ette. The changes in store as the
aftermath of World War II are
predicted by leading American
designers as follows:
Omar Kiam . . . Women are re
laxing mentally after the tense
war years ... It will be a dressy
year . . . Clothes will be designed
to sit and look pretty in.
Adale Simpson ... an era of
vanity is beginning . . . The fash
ion accent will be on bosoms, in
drapery and revealing cut.
Nettie Rosenstein . . . Accentu
ate the bosom, minimize the waist
line.
Samuel Kass . . . Very full
skirts and exaggerated fullness
throughout.
Valentina . . . We are entering
the most honest period of fashion
since Greek times. A woman’s,
clothes will tell the truth about!

it is too bad she will do some
thing about it.
Sophie . . . Soft, fragile draper
ies .. . laces and chiffons.
Fir a Benenson . . . Women who
love sweets will get a break this
year . . . The hips and torso can
look round, but the waist must be
tinier than ever.
Lilly Dache . . . Heads will look
romantic and in the clouds in

(The Outpost, Britain)
What do YOU want to know
about Britain? Americans working
over here don't know all the ans
wers, but what they don't know
they will try to find out. Send
your questions to the American
Outpost, 13. Old Square, Lincoln's
Inn, London. W.C.2.
Does the victory of the Labor
Party in England mean that the
majority of the people are “Red?"
Ans.: It depends on what you
mean by the ternv “Red.” If you
mean Communist, obviously the
answer is no. If you mean a per
son who favors a good deal of so
cial security legislation and social
ism to the extent of nationaliza
tion of the Bank of England and
coal mines the answer is yes.
But we warn you that we do not
think it possible to judge accurate
ly the social revolution which is
taking place in Britain at the mo
ment without allowing for the
complexities in the British way of
life which forever remain inex
plicable to outsiders. For instance,
we watched a group of young peo
ple who while waiting to cheer
the King and Queen at Bucking
ham Palace on VJ day, amused
themselves by singing “When the
Red Revolution Comes.” They
cheered loudly, they sang sincere
ly.

civilian uses.

1946 LIGHTERAGE TARIFFS
#
We are considering no increase in lighterage rates.
0
Increased tonnage volume has enabled us to hold our rates at
prewar levels in spite of increased costs. In 1946 a continued sub
stantial tonnage is anticipated and therefore we expect our 1946
tariffs will average the same as in 1945 unless unlooked-for condi
tions affecting our costs should develop.
Gold mining is the life blood of Seward Peninsula and we
trust that no situation will arise which will so increase our oper
ating costs that increased tariffs become necessary.
Substantial increase in transportation rates would be detri
mental to Alaska business and mining interests and would add to
the already high cost of living.
