Presence Of

1,500 Troops

Las Vegas, Nevada, Apr. 22.

A flash of light in the skies north-west of here today signalled the explosion of the atom bomb in the “Operation Big Shot" phase of the Spring Nevada proving grounds tests.

The bomb was dropped from.the air. Within 30 seconds a light orange-coloured cloud began to rise above the desert floor.

The blast was like a giant flash-bulb or the far-off explosion of a phosphorous bomb sending out fiery sparks from its arched top on the "horizon.

THE POPULAR CHOICE

Living Language

Why we say Take L nap.

The word "nap" Is happy combination of two Anglo-Saxon words, both much allke, one of which means to nod and the other to droop or bend oneself. The image brought to mind by these two words is exactly that of one "taking a nap”, or short sleep, in an arm- chair.
