Weights and Measures.

The civic section later became in
terested in honest weights and meas
ures and went through the records of
the Police Court listing violations of
that law. The result OF the research,
though very interesting 10 members
OF the club. was never published One
member Of the committee was sur
prised 10 md that her own coal dealer
bad Just been convicted on nine counts
for short weight.
For three years past .be civic sec
tion has issued milk bulletin. copy
ing the records of the health ofice for
bacteria, colon and streptococci in
milk sold by the prominent dealers.
The objections raised by one or two
dealers rather testified to good ac-
complished by the publication and
rather controverted their statement
that the public cared nothing about
bacteria so long as milk WAS sweet.
There certainly has been marked i'm
provement in most of the records since
the club began publication. and the
public can now choose intelligently
either clean raw milk or contaminated
raw milk. clean pasteurized milk or
what Will surprise many-very con-
taminated pasteurized milk.
Importance Of Continuity.
"of course, the value Of suoh work
lies in its relentless continuity, and the
club intends to keep on with the pub
ncation, and probably will broaden its
scope from time TO time. Possibly a
study of various kinds of ice cream will
be inaugurated In the fall. noting not
only bacterial content, but the Per
centage of cream ard the presence OF
gelatin and adu.terants Possibly q
little investigation win be directed TO
the weight of various makes of bread.
With no law TO cover the case. IL might
interest the public to find from ac-
curate daily weighing that AS bread
averages twelve ounces, BIS fourteen
ounces and Cs sixteen. II the public
once thoroughly realized such fact IL
would not need a law to make A and
j speedily reach Cs standard. and pub
lie opinion would hold them to that
standard far more surely than ex-
p~nsive inspectors and lawsuits.
The popularity of this club seems to
rest on the belief that II is really doing
things, not merely indorsing the more
or less visionary scheme of some en-
thusiastic promoter -philanthropist. The
ideal OF the club is helpfulness. but
helpfulness based on accurate knowl-
edge. and toward that ideal they will
strive with ~ the force Of their 200
members."

Points in Different Directions.

Contrary to the commonly accepted
belief the pole does not keep pointing
ih the same direction. Its axis is nov
ing about constantly in spiral and
describes a path which varies at least
sixty miles from itsl true station. Its
furtherest point will gain thirty feet
one side and the same rate on the
other, but it has not Yet been known
to make any wider swing out of its
standard position.
Its variations are in periods extend
ing over seven years. The pole spends
about three-and-a- half years in swing
ing outward, then the same time in re
tracing it's steps. At the present the
pole is going on it's outward voyage
and will take more than a year to
complete the trip.
One remarkable feature is that these
variations of the pole, especially when
the variations are erratic in character
are generally chara cteriZed by earth
quakes. The theory has been advanced
that this changing of the pole from its
fixed tilt in the heavens is in reality
the cause of many seismic upheavals
Be that it may. there is no chance
now that any of the polar eccentrici-
ties. even should they have escaped the
eyes of DIR. Cook and Rear Admiral
Peary, will ever elude the eagle eve
of the star sharps at the Naval OBJ
servatory.

INSTRUMENT TO RECORD
NORTH POLE VARIATIONS
Intricate Machine Now Being Erect
ed at Naval Observatory for
That Purpose.

The Naval Observatory is now busy
erecting a very curious and interest
ing machine. whose purpose is to see
just how much the north pole falls
from grace. This instrument is in
charge of Prof. +. K. Ross, who is to
make the experiments.
The object of this new work is to find
just what are the variations of the
pole. OF course, to a layman it seems
strange to hear any reflection cast
upon the upright conduct of the north
pole, which was supposed to remain
always an example of unflinching,
steadfast devotion to keeping it's po-
sition. Yet, even Jove may nod,
SO one must accustom ones self to the
sad realization that the pole actually
"wobbles" Prof. Ross does not. how
ever, attribute this popularity to any
irregular ha bits of staying out at
night, but only to the fact that it is
one of the ancient laws of nature
which is now being tested accurately
for perhaps the first time.
The instrument is being put together
in a small house now almost COM
pleted on the observatory grounds. 1t
resembles water tank standing on
end, but is ornamented with scientific
para phe rnalia.

REVIEW Of ITS WORK
At ANNUAL MEETING
Twentieth Century Club to Cele-
brate Twenty-Fifth Anniversary
Thursday.
Organization Open to Women of All
Denominations-Many Applica-
tions for Membership on File.

The Twentieth Century club Will
celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary
of its incorporation Thursday. A meet
ing of the club will be held al the home
of Mrs. William II. Holmes in Rock
willie. Mrs. Edn ard Il. Clark is presi-
dent and Mrs. Gilbert II. Grosvenor is
vice president of this club. which has
taken a leading part in many move
ments for civic Improvement in Wash
ington.
Mrs. Frederick V. Coville. chairman
of the press committee. today made
the following comment upon the club
and i:s activities:
"Organized in 1890 by prominent. in
tellectual women of All Souls Church.
and always having enjoyed the hospi-
tality of that church, the club is,
nevertheless, most cordially open to
women of all denominations whose at
tainments, aspirations and sympathies
insure their acceptab ability to the club.
The long waiting list certifes the eS-
TEEN in which membership therein is
held; in fact, last winter the conStitu-
tional provision admitting only sixteen
new members year was changed to
admit forty, for il was found that 1t
would take about three years for new
applicant to be admitted.
Program Is Varied.
The meetings of the club on the
first Thursday morning of the month
are devoted to general program
varied in character from month to
month and from year to year, and fol-
lowed by luncheon and social hour.

ing to outside talent but OF late years
the tendency is to call on experts in
various lines for the monthly program.
while papers by the members are pre-
sented at the fortnightly meetings of
the various sections. AS these sections
embrace archaeology. art, civics, edu-
cation. French literature. music. par
hamentary Law and travel, the tastes
OF all can be suited
While the work of most of the sec
tons is purely cultural, the education
section is often working on some such
question as colored supplements and
moving pictures and the cviic section
IS generally wrestling with some pub
lie question. In 1909. under the leader
ship of that section. the Twentieth h
Century Club conducted the first clean

peated il in 1910. Since then The
