MADE EXPERIMENTS
ON MOUNTAIN PEAK
Director Abbot Tested Suns
Output of Radiation From
Mount Wilson.

Director Abbot Of the astrophysical OBJ
servatory of the Smithsonian Institution
has returned to Washington after an un-
usually successful season in California:
Daily observations to determine the suns
output of radiation were made from
May until November at the Smithsonian
branch observatory on Mount Wilson,
Cal. These observations are the continue
ton of series which now has been go
ing on for number of years for the pur-
pose Of determining whether the sun is
a steady or a variable star.
Strong evidence now has been collected
by the Smithsonian observers tending to
show that the latter is the case, and that
variations of the solar radiation amount
ing to from 2 to s per cent frequently
occur. These naturally would affect the
earth's temperature, and there is being
collected evidence that they do. Mr.. Abb
bot hopes to make a duplicate series of
solar observations in Mexico next sea-
son, and should these agree with the
Mount Wilson observations they will
prove beyond question the suns varia-
bility.
Two Weeks at Summit.
During August Mr.. Abbot spent two
weeks on the summit Of Mount Whitney,
which is IA, 800 feet high, the highest peak
in the United States, excluding Alaska.
He had good weather and his apparatus
worked so we'll that he accomplished all
that he had planned to do. The results
confirm entirely the accuracy Of the
work at Mount Wilson, for they show
that the effect of the atmosphere can be
correctly estimated. In other words, it
makes no difference whether observations
or three miles elevation. the computed
intensity Of the suns rays outside the at
mosphere is the same.
The Smithsonian observatory now is in
position to announce definitely the mean
value of the ''solar constant" of radiation.
as observed from 1905 to 1910. 1t is a
1893 calOries per square centimeter per
minute. This means that. the suns rays
outside the atmosphere on March q, if
received for one minute at right angles
on a surface one centimeter square about
three-eighths inches square) would suf-
flee to heat one gram of water about
1-450 pounds) 1893 degrees centikrade c}.47
degrees FahrenheiO. This Fundamental
constant of nature was hitherto unknown
within wide limits.
Given Draper Medal.
Great interest in Mr. AbbOt's researches
was shown by the eminent foreign and
American astronomers during the meet
ing of the International Solar Union on
Mount Wilson in September. The appre-
citation of Mr.. Abbots work felt in this
country was further demonstrated by the
award to him last April of the Henry
Draper gold medal by the National Aead-
envy of Sciences. This medal has been
awarded only eight times since it's foun-
dalton, about 1883 namely, to Langley,
Pickering. Rowland, Vogel, Keller. Hug
gins, Hale and Campbell. Six of these
eight previous recipients of the medal
were Americans, and their work has
given to the United States its acknowl-
edged pre-eminence in physical astron-
Omy.

Many argue that in view Of this provision
of the Constitution and because OF the
fact that the ways and means committee
of the House really frames and presents
any tariff bill that is acted on in the
House, a tariff commission is a useless
appendage of government. They main-
tain that regardless OF any facts q tar
iff commission may present. it WILL new
ertheless, be incumbent on the ways and
means committee to obtain facts for it
self and present a bill to the House based
on it's own investigation, not those of any
commission outside of the House of Rep

trade quite naturally hold that there
should be no tariff and, therefore, no need

Lawyer, socialist, dreamer and
fighter is l.. Gutierrez de Lara.
He graduated from the Mexico
City law school, and was appointed
judge of Guerrero. His decisions
were SO just that the rich man
could get no better justice than
the poor man. So de Lara lost
his place and became a leader of
the insurrectos.
Soon after, De Lara came to
Los Angeles as a socialist agitator.
He helped gather the data for an
article on Mexico that created a
sensation in magazine circles, and
then the war came.
De Lara came straight to FL
Paso, shouldered a rifle and eros
sed into Mexico. He was made a
captain and placed in charge OF
the town of Guadalupe.

CONTRACTORS IGNORE
MANUFACTURERS.

Can the courts dictate from
whom you must purchase your
building material If you happen to
be contractor.
That is substantially the issue
that has been raised in legal pro-
.ceedings began In New York state
against 1870 contractors and many
trade union officials by manufac-
turers of nonunion woodworking
materials in the south and middle
west.
The suit was brought for the
manufacturers by the American
Anti-Boycott association, which
fought the Danbury hatters case
and the Bucks stove case against
organized labor, and this latest &C.
ton in New York bids fair to be-
come as famous as either of the
foregoing because employers who
are friendly to unions are being
dragged into the fight.
The carpenters and other build
ing trades in New York claimed
that the woodwork in the south
and middle west is turned out oil
establishments operated on the
Isweatshop principle of long hours
and pauper wages, and that they
would refuse to touch any mater.
ials turned out Of nonunion shops
AS the contractors didn't want
to become embroiled in strikes
they gave no more orders to the
southern and western manufactur.
Iers, although offered materials al
40 per cent less than they could
be purchased In the east.

New York, 1t probably will be car.

for vital principles are involved as
well as large interests.

TOM BISHOP PRES|DES |
At SEYMOUR MEETING

nance was a humbug and a delus-
ion and a snare-just because
Willie Seymour did not like 1t.
With such heavyweights as ora
tors that Old Town meeting was
bound to be a hummer.

mour meetings, a recital of half
truths.

ing for Seymour from Pete Sand
berg down, this does not go any
more. SO they switched back to
the old bridge deal.
H. Alvin Moore said Fawcett
had not kept his word. He said
the railway mems club went to
Fawcett and asked that the bridge
proposition be thrown open for
bids on all kinds of bridges. This
Is what Fawcett had been fight
ing for for weeks.
The only issue on the whole
thing was whether to have plans
made or simply to call for bids
and let bridge companies have
plans made to suit themselves.
Fawcett was for the latter
plan. A majority of the council
was for the plan of getting de-
signs first and then have COM
petition on the construction.
Peder Jensen made his speech
on the theme of protection of
our homes" But somehow he
forgot about protecting the homes
when he voted for the liquor in
terests at Olympia after he had
signed a pledge for the Anti
saloon league. Peder's statement
on the Fern Hill fight was injus-
tice. He said the mayor did not
do thing. He said the whole
thing had been settled by the peo-
pie in conjunction with the street
car company that carried case to
the supreme court.
He did not tell, however, that
the company would not appeal
the case to the supreme court un-
til Fawcett threatened that IL 1t
was not taken up by noon he
would start something on the COM
pany. That made the company
get busy and 1t took the case up.

AN AUSTRALIAN IDEA
MAY BE AMERICANIZED,

1t has been shown In this col
umn that under the arbitration law
of Australia living wages must be
paid, and that employers are fined
whenever they pay less than the
rates decided upon. Now the idea
is to be Americanized. A bill has
been introduced in the Wisconsin
legislature empowering the COM
missioner of labor to decide what
wages are required to supply en-
ployes with the ordinary necessi-
ties of life, and to enforce the
awards. 1t is hoped to kill the
sweating system in this manner.
