NEW STEEL EQUIPMENT
FOR REGISTER OF WILLS
Document Files. Cases and Bookcase
to Meet Needs for Fiji
teen Years.

new steel equipment for the office
of the register of wills. which is ex-
pected to meet the requirements of the
Office for the next fifteen years. is now
being installed The equipment con-
sists of about 1000 document files,
screen with a 14-inch counter for the
main Office, and three medium sized
steel cases for the storage of valua BILE
office papers, also a f1reproof steel
bookcase capables of containing about
500 record books.
The register of wills has recently
completed a card index system con
tanning the names of all the estates
passing through the court from 1901 to
date. 1t is expected that this index
viii render it unnecessary for parties
searching the records of the court to
look through nine volumes of indexes.
The office of the register of wills was
the first Office in the city hall to adopt
the modern steel equipment and also
the first to install the loose-leaf sys-
tenn for the record books. Other labor
saving devices have been adopted to
such an extent that although the work
of the office has increased fully so per
cent the number of employees has prac-
tically remained the same during the
last ten years.
The cost of the steel equipment APP
proximates $4,000.

SMITHSONIAN SCIENTIST
BACK FROM CALIFORNIA
DR.. Abbot Has Been Studying Solar
Heat at Observatory on
Mount Wilson.

DR.. G. G. Abbot, director of the
Smithsonian astrophysical observatory,
has just returned from Mount Wilson,
Cal, where he has been engaged since
May in studies of solar heat. On a
leased plot located on the top of Mount
Wilson the observatory has located a
one-story cement observing structure
and little frame cottage for observers.
Upon the observing shelter there Is a
tower equipped with a telescope for
observing the distribution of radiation
bolometer
The weather there has proved unusu-
ally favorable for solar heat studies
this year. In October almost every
day was cloudless. Preliminary ex-
aminations of the results give the i'm
preston that solar radiation has been
above the normal during most of the
time. This confirms the conclusion
gained from former work that high
values prevail when sun spots and
other forms of solar activity are well
marked, as they have been in 1915. At
the recent meeting of the National
Academy of Sciences in New York DIR.
Abbot described his researches in a
paper entitled THE Solar Radiation
and It's Variability"
The apparatus devised by DIR. Abbot
for measuring the solar heat at enor-
nous attitudes, called the balloon
pyrhellometer, which made success
full measurements at fifteen miles alti-
tude in July, 1914, was exhibited at
the San Francisco exposition and re-
ceived a grand prize.

OYSTER ROAST PLANNED
FOR RIDERS TOMORROW
Back-to-the Saddle Enthusiasts to Be
Entertained by Daniel E. KEEPS
at Takoma.

Washington riders will make merry at
an oyster roast tomorrow afternoon.
Daniel E. KEEPS, who early in the back
to-the- saddle campaign Joined the move
ment, has invited the Washington riders
and their friends who have come back to
the saddle to ride with him through
Rock Creek valley and join In an oyster
roast, with substantial accomplishments,
at his country home at Takoma
The back-to-the-sa movement has
been one of the most successful plans for
drawing people to the great outdoors
which has been promoted in Washington
The idea originated with small group
of veteran horse riders and horsemen who
have not recently become interested in
horses. but who have been riding since
they We're boys. They asked everybody
in Washington who had ever ridden
horse, or who wanted to ride a horse. to
come out with them. They invited them
to get any kind of horse that would not
run away, and that would stand on his
feet. to join in the riding. The response
has been gratifying to the horsemen, and
hundreds of Washington men and women
are enjoying the old-time sport Of horse
back riding, whereas before the invitation
of the Washington riders a man on a
horse was rare spectacle. The move
nlenJ Is gaming recruits, ana the pa ck-tO-
the-saddle people believe that when spring
comes thousands of Washington men and
women and boys and girls will be riding.
Assemble at Pierce Mill.
The riders will assemble in the meadow
at Pierce MILL in Rock Creek Park, to-
morrow. All the leaders in the riding
propa ganda - Messrs. KEEPS. Brands,
Zielinski. Brown, Carrnody and Shannon
and the woman riders who have aided the
men in reinteresting Washington in horse
sports will be there. The riding will be
taken up. and on arriving at Mr.. KEEPS
home, at Takoma Park, tho horses will
be picketed and the oyster roast will be
proceeded with. E.-.
Because of the festival and the fes-
tivities planned for the afternoon the hour
of assembly at Pierce mill has been
moved forward from o'clock to ! O'Clock
This may interfere with the regular din
ner hour of some of the riders, but Mr.
KEEPS expects the riders to eat witt him
There will be tournament riding in Mr.
KEEPS grounds after the oyster roast

Sunday morning riding parties, and these
