EXPLAINS BELTS ON JUPITER
Rapid Rotation of the Planet Is the
Cause, According to Those Learned
in Astronomy.

It has been suggested by Lau that
the reason Jupiter has belts instead
of zones of spots is to be found in
its rapid rotation. The material
forced upward from the lower strata
of the planet, bringing with it a
smaller linear velocity than that of
the surface, streams eastward and
assumes the appearance of elongated
streaks. If the centers of eruption
are sufficiently numerous, belts are
formed, and it is suggested that,
were the suns rotation much more
rapid than it is, the solar surface
at spot maximum would also present
dark streaks or belts. In accordance
with this theory of belt formation
it will be remembered that the great
revival of Jupiter's north equatorial
belt in 1928 began with the out
break of few isolated spots, which
quickly spread out around the plan

HAVE HOSPITALS FOR HORSES
Animals Wounded at the Front Are
Given as Much Care as Circum-
stances Will Permit.

At the front horses are treated
with just the same care and skill as
is shown to the soldiers and are given
chloroform and other anesthetics be-
fore being operated upon by skilled
officers. To every division and cav
airy brigade is attached mobile
veterinary section, each consisting of
one officer and 20 trained men of the
A. V. G.
The mobile section is divided into
two subsections, one employed in col
lecting sick and wounded horses
from the firing line and other places,
while the other branch conveys the
patients to the nearest rail head.
Thence they are sent by train to the
nearest base veterinary hospital,
where they are treated according to
the nature Of their wounds or sick
ness.
Each hospital has accommodation
for some thousand or more cases, and
is equipped with every requisite for
medical and surgical use. When suf-
fciently recovered the horses are
drafted to the convalescent farm,
where the cure is completed.

LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE
Cultivation of Optimism Will Always
Be Found to Pay Big
Dividends.

Optimism is a virtue which every
one should cultivate. 1t not only
makes us much happier and brighter,
but also more popular, for everyone
loves to be with an optimist. Even
pessimists are stirred out of their
constant gloom if surrounded for a
time by a number of persons who
persistently look on the sunny side
of life, no'matter how dark the out
look.
After all, optimism or pessimism
is all frame of mind. Both words
simply describe mental conditions,
and, since this is so, why not choose
the one which will make us happy?
Optimism means looking on the
sunny side Of life, seeing only the
good in all things. We can easily
cultivate this viewpoint if we will
only try, and it makes such differ
ence in what we see. We can look
at the same persons and see quite
different traits. We also see other
more beautiful things in whatever
direction we look.
Why should we walk through life
looking down at the mud of the
StrpptS when wn could ha lOOkin0 nm
at the blue of the skies? AS one of
the characters in a popular drama
now running says, ''The pig spends
his whole time roofing around with
his nose in the dirt, but | never
heard of anyone wanting to be a
pig" And again the same charac.
ter says, ''Why should anyone search
all over the big, blue sky for cloud
when he can enjoy the sunshine?"

is WONDERFUL AIR MACHINE
German Zeppelin Can Carry Heavy
Load and Still Attain Speed
That 10 Remarkable

Possibly your impression of Zep-
pelin is that it is cigar-shaped bal
loon with propelling apparatus
added. The large envelope Of Yep
pelin dirigible is not entirely filled
with gas, but contains instead sixteen
separate "balloonets,'' each of which
is filed with hydrogen. Thus shot
may pierce the envelope without
bringing the airship to earth. Half
of the balloonets must be punctured
before a Zeppelin can be brought
down. A Zeppelin of the latest
known type measures 400 feet in
length and so in diameter. The
frame which supports the envelope
is constructed of aluminium. Re
cause of this rigid construction it is
possible to mount the propellers on
the envelope. In the nonrigid diri-
gibles used by other European pow
ers the propeller is more usually
mounted near the car. The Yep
pelin has two cars, mounted close
under the main body, each of which
has a gasoline motor of 500 horse
power. When carrying a full crew of
25 men and five tons of bombs and
other equipment, Zeppelin is cap
able of speed Of so miles an hour.

WALKER IS HELD UP ON SECOND AVENUE Relieved of SIS at Point of Revolver by Unmasked
 White Man

H. E. Walker, 1123 Third avenue, north, was held up and robbed at the point of a revolver last night at o'clock on Second avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, north. The highwayman secured SIS from his victim and disappeared down Twelfth street after warning Walker he would be killed If he attempted to follow him. Walker called headquarters immedi- ately after he was robbed and Detectives Smith and Williams rushed to the scene to investigate. The highwayman was a white man and from the manner in which he went about his work it is thought he is professional.
 In a statement made by Walker to the detectives, he said:
 T was walking down Second avenue towards Twelfth street on my way home and had reached the middle of the block when white man stepped from behind a nearby building and commanded me to hold up hands and to do it d. quick. He was not masked and appeared to be very calm and deliberate in his work. He carefully searched my pockets took what money I had on my person and backed away a few yards, saying: Now, look here, stranger there aint no use in you following me cause you are liable to get hurt, see.

Submarine Commander Followed
 Instructions In Sinking the Arabic

Washington, October 29.-A memor- andum from the German government explaining the unsuccessful attempt of a submarine to torpedo the Cunard liner Orduna was made public here tonight for the first time. It reveals that as early as July g, last, more than a month before the attack on the Arabic, German commanders had in- structions not to sink large passenger steamers" without warning
 The document also contains the statement that the submarine that at tackled the Orduna halted the Ameri- can bark Normadie and, though find ing her carrying contraband, allowed her to proceed unmolsted because there was no guarantee that the crew would be rescued if left to their fate in small boats.
 The Orduna memorandum. dated in Berlin. September g. was given out with other correspondence supplementary to the second installment of the so-called white book issued yesterday by the state department. It's text follows:
 At about 7:15 on the morning of July g, last, German submarine sighted steamer from three to five miles away and a sailing vessel about a mile away. The steamer was pro- ceeding without any flag or neutral markings and was taken for small enemy steamer by the commander of the submarine on account of the diff culty of observation caused by the un-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-30

favorable weather. The commander decided first to attack the steamer submerged and fired a torepdo at the vessel which missed it's mark.
 Hoping to catch the steamer above the water, the submarine rose and chased the setamer on the surface. The steamer did not stop when a shot of warning was fired and therefore several shells were fired at her which did not strike her as the submarine was pitching about and the distance was great. The submarine then pro- ceeded to the sailing vessel which was shown to be the American bark Nor mandie, bound from New York to Liv- erpool with a cargo of lumber. AL though the cargo contained contra band, the sailing vessel was permitted to continue her voyage unhindered as it was impossible to guarantee that the crew would be surely rescued. in the small boats if the ship were sunk
 The first attack on the Orduna by a torpedo was not in accordance with the existing instructions, which pro vided that large passenger steamers are only to be torpedoed after previous warning and after the rescuing of pas sengers and crew. The failure to ob- serve the instructions were based on an error which is at any rate, com prehensible and the repetition of which appears to be out of the question, in view of the more explicit instructions Issued in the meantime. Moreover. the commanders of the submarines have been reminded that it is their duty to exercise greater care and to observe carefully the orders issued'

Montgomery, October 29.-(Special.) ) Alex b. Walker, state bank superin- tendent. returned today from Calera, where he made an extensive examina- tion of the affairs of the Citizens bank of Calera. According to Superintendent Walker the banks affairs are in de- plorable condition and there is little hope that the institution will again open its doors for business.
 It is. declared that all efforts to save the bank by bringing new capital into it failed. Superintendent Walker de- clared that the banks coalition was brought about by the accumulation of bad paper and mismanagement of the banks affairs.
 The president of the bank at the time the banking department took it over was H. c. Nichols, who had served in that capacity only a short time. R. E. Bowen was the former pres- ident of the institution.
