NO. 5-SPEED COPS I
A? Naw%f*otur*s
AFTER scientists found the
atomic bullet they
learned that if it was fired too
rapidly it had less effect on
nervous nuclei than one mov
ing at a slower speed. (Neu
trons con travel at a speed of
several thousand miles per
second.) They learned that if
islands of uranium were
placed in graphite or heavy
water, the neutron lost just
enough speed by the time it
reached another uranium
island to have the desired ef
fect of splitting U-235 nuclei.
The newly split nucleus emits
several neutrons, some of
which hit other U-235 atoms
to continue the splitting proc
ess, while the rest hit U-238
i and converted it into pluto
j nium. The graphite or heavy
water slow - down cops are
called moderators.
Halsey Had War
Orders To Sink
Japanese Ships
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11—UP)—
Adm. Kimmel gave “war orders”
to Adm. Halsey when the latter
sailed with the task force from
Pearl Harbor several days before
the Jap attack. Under those orders
Adm. Halsey “armed everything,
and to sink every Jap ship found.”
Those statements by Kimmel
were made available to members
of the Pearl Harbor committee in
a volume of testimony given by
the former commander of the Pa
cific Fleet before three previous
locked door investigations, con
ducted by the Roberts commission,
and the Army and Navy inquiry
boards.
Adm. Kimmel declared if he
had had the information available
in Washington, he would have sent
the fleet to sea to have been ready
for any eventuality.
Snakes actually smell with their
tongues.

Average Home Lamp
Bums 2V& Years
The average incandescent lamp
in the home burns for two and
one-half years. Living room lamps
are replaced most often, cellar and
attic lamps remain longest in
place, often five years or more.
If all the 10-watt to 1,000-watt

brought together, they would onfy
light two square miles of land with
the brightness of noontime sun
shine.—Current Science and Avia-|
