WATER PROVEN TO
EXIST ON MARS


 FLAGsTAFF, Arlzg Oct 3O-The re. suits of measutements by Professor Very Of spectrograms of Mars and the moon. obtained by Or V M sipher at the Lowell Observatory on the night Of February 6, have just been publish ed They entirely confirm Dr. Slpher's previous spectroscopic proof in 1908 ol water Yapor and of oxygen in the Martlan atmosphere. or the adyan- tages under which the fresh determin- alton was made Professor Very says:
 gFirst-Both Mara and the moon were at higher attitudes, and the path Of teh rays through the air was short ened. while the exposures were 50 nearly simultaneous that there can be no doubt Of the absence of sensible atmospheric change in the short in- teryal between successive exposures.
 "second-Added to this, Q new stain hoB been employed by Dr. SllDher which extends the sensitiyeness of the photographic plate in the red io Q little greater distance on the side of the long wave lengths and gives a bet ter impression Of the water yapor band"
 The fact that more water yapor ex- iated in the earths atmosphere for the night in 1914 has in Professor Verys words rendered certain the fact we are dealing with actual mois- ture in the Martain atmosphere, since the Martain aqueous absorption to terrestrial absorption has been proved to be smaller when the water vapor in the earth's atmosphere is greater, as should be the case if the intensih- cation is truly Martain 4 similar demonstration has resulted for the oxy- gen absorption
 Finally Professor Very says, there is the novel information that the moisture in the atmosphere Of Mars is not uniformly distributed, which we had a right to expect, but also that unlike the earth, whose tropical air is heavily laden with mol sture, but whose temperate and polar regions are comparatively dry Mars hes but little moisture at the equator while the water vapor increases very uargely near the borders of the snow cap.
 "It is therefore the evaporation of moisture from the melting snow which replenishes the dry air of Mars with its aqueous yapor. The poles are the storehouses Of the water supply on Mars. There are no equatorial oceans, and therefore no source of supply by evaporation under a tropical sun. To the polar snows 1t must look for it's water, and this is precisely what Dr.. perclyal Lowell has all along main tained."

 eIt has been impossible protltably to operate vessels lexcept under our ooastwise monopoly under tho Ameri- can flag because the cost Of labor leii no margin of return on the capital invested. Present nayigations laws are designed to maintain wage scale and living conditions. There arc few laborsaving devices in steam nayiga- ton, and, fl there were, the owners could not avail themselves thereon, because our navigation laws stipulate that they must employ more. rather than less, men than required on for eign vessels.
 investment in steamship lines has thus offered little inducement to Amer ican capital. Government ownership of ships would seem open to the same objections urged against ship subsl- dies. Those familiar with this sub- ect therefore contend that the most practical way to create an American merchant marine would be so to mod fly our navigation laws that American ship owners may operate on a labor cost which will enable them to com pete with other nations
