FIRST OF A SERIES
NEW YORK—Dr. Robert A.
Millikan, of cosmic ray fame, head
of the California Institute of
Technology, foresees 11 new hori
zons in pure and applied science
after the war.
He tells of them in the industrial
publication “Think”. Nearly all
the basic work for the 11 horizons,
he says, was done before Pearl
Harbor. The “new horizons” are:
1.—A short-wave radio develop
ment which cannot be described
on account of
censorship.
2.—Aviation.
The war, says
D r. Millikan,
brought no new
principles, but
poured in enor
mous resources
which have
profoundly in
fluenced the
Dr. Millikan future of avia
tion.
“It is,” he writes, “primarily
the conquest of space by the
power machine and the conquest
of the ether by radio waves that
today are revolutionizing man’s
life on earth much as the steam
engine revolutionized it a century
ago.”
3.—Atomic power. Dr. Millikan
does not expect atomic power to
replace more common sources of

energy, either now or even per
haps in thousands of yars.
“Atomic power,” he says, “is
one of the results that cannot be
seen , through my binoculars be
cause such power cannot be made
available in sufficient quantity to
be a decisive factor in the world’s
power output.
“Man’s great source of avail
able energy in the past, is now
and I think always will be sun
light—bottled up in coal, oil, liv
ing plants, waterfalls and winds,
or else absorbed directly in solar
| heaters. When the oil is gone we
; can make liquid fuel from coal.
When the coal is gone (thousands
of years hence) sunlight-fuel will
cost somewhat more than now,
but that is no ground for worry.”

to overestimate the importance of
th s advance for the economic life
of man, following the war. Dr.
Millikan says, when our airships
will be traversing ali quarters of
the globe in great numbers.
5. —Guayule. Dr. Millikan thinks
oil and the argricultural crops (al
cohol) from which our synthetic
rubber is made, will be needed for
i gasoline and food respectively,
and for making organic products
like plastics.
He foresees guayule rubber as
perhaps developing into one of the
world’s great future industries.
6. —Metallurgy.
7. —Organic solids, such as plas
tics and rubbers.
In both these fields, physicists'
and chemists have been learning
just how atoms and electrons are'
tied together. The knowledge!
surely will be used to accelerate
products both light and heavy to
fit man’s needs.

Russia, China Sign
30-Year Treaty
CHUNGKING, Aug. 27-4/P)—
The Chinese government announc

treaty binding Russia to give aid

Chungking government to the ex

Russian recognition of Chinese
sovereignty in Manchuria.

health, happiness and efficiency,

9. —Public health. Immunology,
water sterilization, infection-de
stroying drugs and banishing of
age-old fears like dying of thirst
af er shipwreck are heralds of
beter living.
10. —International cooperation.
“Many peace-loving people have
known, Dr. Millikan says, “and it
would be difficult to find anyone
who, in the light of Pearl Harbor,
does not now know, that it would
be just as intelligent to try to
eliminate our internal bandits and
maintain peace and order within
our borders without providing a
oolice force as it is to think of
maintaining a peaceful interna
tional world without getting the
peace-loving nations somehow to
join their forces to protest them
selves from the attacks of the ban
dit nations.
11. —Elimination of internal cor
rupting tendencies. “All the fore
going postwar situations depends,”
says Dr. Millikan, “upon the hope
that through our decentralized
public and private American
school systems, our newspapers
and magazines, our radios, our
forums and other of our discussion
groups we have developed in
these United States 51 per cent of
reasonably intelligent voters who
understand the dangers to our fu
ture of centralization. This applies
particularly in education with its
indoctrinating tendencies so ter
ribly illustrated by the recent his
tory of European countries.

Civilian Canned
Salmon Supply
Increased
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—UP)—
The Department of Agriculture
has announced that the civilian
supply of canned salmon from the
1945 pack will be increased seven
and a half million pounds because
reduced military requirements
brought the total civilian alloca*
tion of canned fish to two hundred
eighty-eight million five hundred
thousand pounds from this year’s
pack.
CLOTHES STRAIN
Just in the course of a man's everyday activities
his clothes take such a beating they often become
shapeless and baggy long before they wear out.
Let us restore their original sparkle and shape
liness.
The collar always fits snugly — the lapels al
ways roll softly — the whole garment restored to
its original unbroken smartness.
