Decimal In Theory Cause
Of A Scientific Flurry
ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 31.—C>D—
There's « great battle waging in
the scientific world over the decimal
in a theory that brought Dr. Robert
Millikan a Nobel prize and business
In America some $60,000,000 more
inoome a year.
Tire strangest part about the
struggle is that no matter what the
final conclusion, neither Dr. Mil
likan, nor his Nobel prize nor the
business will be affected in the
slightest.
But that's not the point with
scientists. Back in 1018 or so, Dr.
Millikan determined that the elec
tric charge of an electron was 4.774
times 10 to the minus tenth power.
Now new experiments determine
that the charge is probably 4.81 et
eetera, and arguments are raging
all over the annual convention of
the American assocaltion for the
advancement of scienoe.
It's principle that’s at stake, not
the commercial aspects of the thing
that is all bound up in such com
mercial by-products as gas dis
charge tube (Neon) lights, radio
photo electric cells, x-rays and such.
The details are extremely confus
ing to one who spent four years In
college trying to pass freshman
physics, but the history of the
thing, sketchily, is something like
this:
Dr. Millikan didn’t discover elec
trons and a man named O. T. R.
Wilson actually worked out the
equations, but in 1908 and 1900 Dr.
Millikan and Dr. J. A. Beardon, now
at Johns Hopkins university In Bal
timore, were going over and over an
experiment that caught electrons
momentarily In drops between two
electric grids.
Then along came Dr. Harvey
Fletcher, now head ef the acoustic
experiments at the Bell Telephone
laboratories, and Joined up with Dr.
Millikan in the experiments in Chi
cago.
Dr. Fletcher changed the liquid
they were working with to oil and
almost before they knew it, three
years to be exact, they had electrons
In oil drops where they could exam
ine them for hours and they were
measuring the electric charge of
them, 4.774 times 10 to the minus
10th power.
Aged, Blind, And Needy
Get Social Security Aid
By 8IORID ARNE
WASH1N GTON, Dec. 31.—VP)—
This winter about. 3,000.000 blind
folk, needy old people and depend*
ent children will come under the
•belter of the social security act.
During November, it Is estimated
1,413,615 such unfortunates receiv
ed $33310,000.
The picture changes nearly every
week, both as to the number aided
and the states giving the help, be
cause many state laws have had to
be revised to meet the federal re
quirements. But here’s the Novem
ber outline:
Blind persons in 36 states and
the District of Columbia received
payments averaging $35.80 a month.
Needy old people in 40 states,
Hawaii and the District of Colum
bia received payments averaging
$18.50 a month.
Dependent children In 26 states
and the District of Columbia re
ceived payments averaging $10.80 a
month. ,
States Investigate
Their checks came from the
states rather than directly from
the federal government. The states
are responsible for investigating ap
plicants for such aid. After estab
lishing the number needing help,
the states apply for federal funds.
Their applications and rules are
! passed on by the social security
i board, then the national treasury
sends lump sums to the state
treasuries.
The federal funds must be match
ed by the state funds on a 50-50
basis for the aged and Mind. For
dependent children the federal
government advances $1 to the
state’s $3 up to a maximum of $1$
for the first child and of $13 for
every other child in a family.
In each case the state plans must
meet certain minimum require
ments, including:
1. Until 1940 checks to the needy
* aged may be denied until the in
‘-rf4-*dtiaPik 70. but after 1940 aid
i mu$ begin at 65.
1 No «4tisenshJp restriction ran
be set up to exclude a citizen of the
United States.
3. No state can deny aid to a
needy blind or aged person or
needy child if he has lived in the
state for five of the last nine years
and for one continuous year pre
vious to applying for help.

Fluffy Popcorn
In Bowls Gives
Warm Coziness
By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE
Popcorn on Sunday nights—great
bowls of fluffy, white kernel* and
red apple* give an old-faahioned
ermines* and warmth to Informal
flrealde gathering* of friend* or
member* of the family.
Although popcorn la a winter
favorite it la rapidly becoming an
all-climate tld-blt which Is Just a*
popular In Florida as It is in Maine.
It may be served in a number
of way* — ranging from ordinary
popped variety to cheese popcorn
which may be offered with canape*
and pretsels.
The com may also be coated with
a delicately-colored sugar syrup and
strung Into festoon* used for deco
rating. Or it may be mixed with
molasses and rolled Into old-fash
ioned popcorn balls. If nut* are
added it may be cut Into strips and
served like peanut brittle.
There are several methods of
popping com. I have been most suc
cessful in popping It In a covered
frying pan In butter and lard—or a
lard substitute or an oil. The but
ter gives flavor, but if too much is
used the oom will burn. Cooking
the com in fat allows the fat fla
vor to penetrate the com thor
oughly.
The cooking process is simple.
Put the corn and fat into the pan
and cover it with a lid. Start shak
ing the pan back back and forth as
soon as the popping begins and
continue shaking it until the pop
ping ceases.
If the com does not pop readily
It is probabl loo dry. Cover it with
cold water and let it stand for live
minutes. Then drain it. There may
be some "spitting” when it is put
back on the stove, but If the ltd is
held in place a white fluffy mass
will result.
Upon removing the pan from the
stove let It stand for several min
utes, leaving the lid on, since an
occasional pop may send oom fly
ing In all directions.
Here's a "recipe" giving about
the right proportion of butter and
lard for one cup of com. Following
it Is a suggestion for making pop
corn sweets:
npeern
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons lard
1 cup com
1-8 teaspoon salt
Place butter and lard In frying
pan. When the butter la hot add
oom. Cover the pan and shake un
til corn ts completely popped.
Sprinkle with aalt.
Popcorn Confection
1-3 cup com syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 cups popped com
1 cup shelled roasted peanuts
Boil, without stirring, the syrup,
sugar and water. When a fine
thread forms If portion Is poured
from a spoon, add vanilla and pour
the confection over the rest of the
Ingredients. Mix with a spoon.
Far colored oom add a little fruit
oolorlng to the syrup Just before it
Is poured over the com.

Hollywood

nr ROBIN COONS
HOLLYWOOD^-—Mickey Whalsn
never liked the idee of being a
"dununy musician."
Most screened orchestras are
composer of "dummy musicians."
These can play, but the camera re
quires only that they pretend to
play. The music Is “dubbed In” la
ter.
Mickey got his Idea when, on the
sets between scenes, the dummy or
chestra would get requests for
tunes to brighten things up. Its
members were strangers to each
other, hence the requests could not
bo filled. Mickey decided a little
organisation would help.
He had had his first band In
Arkansas. He had been a soloist
with Oeorge Olsen, had sung In
opera and played the guitar, vio
lin and trumpet, it was his voice
that brought him to movies. He
sang In Jeanette MacDonald's first
picture, "Love Parade," and em
barked on a career as a "dummy
musician." '
Organises Band
Those requests for music on the
sets made him organise an orches
tra that could actually play in
scenes, and between scenes In re
sponse to requests. He chose mu
sician-actors.
In the last four years he has
waved his baton cm screens all over
the world. For one picture he will
wear flowing whiskers, for another
burosldas, van dykss, or handlebar
moustaches. He has been gray
halred, black-haired, red-haired and
baldheaded.
His toughest Job was to "selThli
orchestra to the directors, whose
“yes" or “no"declded whether he
oould entertain the stars between
scenes, w. S. Van Dyke would have
him play a few bars in a scene, but
none afterward. Mickey kept his
ears open and one day heard the
director humming “Night and
Day." After the next scene the or
chestra broke Into that tune—and
broke the Ice.
Mickey's orchestra prides Itself on
Its versatility. Requests range from
hillbilly tunes to opera, and the
gang has a repertory, of 70S musi
cal arrangements.
Fills The BUI
William Wellman, the director,
once thought he would trip the
boys by demanding the Greek na
tional anthem. He did, temporari
ly. A few days later when the studio
golf tournament was In progress,
Wellman stepped out on the. fif
teenth hole and poised his club.
Mickey’s orchestra stepped on the
green, gave forth the Greek an
them and Wellman missed a birdie.
