Standing on a site of vantage he per-nonally directed his armies, often against great odds, to win consistent, will make victories. Adolph Hitler on the other hand is not a great general, has none of the forceful and powerful characteri. associated with leaders, and most eer— tuinly does not have the pe sonality that makes him popular with his associates.

It seems that the biology depart- ment at the University of Texas was in a quandry. An onion root that had been nurtured carefully in a salt solution was generating an elec tric current, and sending it in all dir i-ections through its bath. A puzzling question arose: How much power did the onion root develop? The electri~ cal engineering and mathematics (th partment were called in. For weeks they worked on the problem. Reams of paper were mated, heads turned gray, nervous breakdowns resulted. But finally a solution was obtained. Assuming the onion root to be an elongated ellipsoid of revolution, uucceusive integrations were per- formed between the limits of hither and yon. Before long a Fourier's series was brought into plu); this was enough to subdue any onion root. With a weak “scrunch" the onion root succumbed, and lay helpr~ lcss,~—caug‘ht in the net of higher mathematics.
