FALLscY OF LONG STANDING
IN the Light Of the Moon"
10 4 Wrong Idea.

One Of the most tenacious beliefs
10 that the weather is affected by
the movement of the moon. 1t is gen
orally considered that frost is more
likely to occur in he light Of the
moon" than at any other time. For
this reason crops which the frost Is
likely to destroy are planted at such
time as to be certain to avoid q
full moon.
The moon reflects sunlight to the
earth and produces the tides. 1t has
minor effects, such as changing the po
sition OF the earth and causing min
ute defiections of the magnetic needle:
these last, are, however, 80 small that
they have only effect upon refined in.
struments OF detection, and 1t has
been proved conclusively these two
have no relation to the change of
weather. Regarding the two former
effects named. 1t is quite easy to un-
derstand that reflected sunlight from
the moon cannot affect the weather
In the first place. more light is re-
ccived from the sun in thirty min.
utes than from the moon in one year.
and. moreover. the greatest reflection
is at full moon; from logical point
of view then 1t should be warmer in.
stead of colder at full moon. This
should disprove any argument that
the reflected light makes 1t colder
at full moon.

ELEvATIN0 THE MOVIES

The movie men of the country, the
men who make the initial invest
ments in casts and picture making
and advertising, are gradually arriv.
ing at very sound conclusion.
At q gathering Of fifty Of the
best informed picture men In the
country now being held at Atlantic
City, the decision has been reached
thst Glow brow" pictures, Vampire
dramas, suggestive plays, and nssti'
ness in general doesn't pay in the
moving picture game any more thar
II pays in any other business. They
have arrived at the conclusion tina,
such films are bad investments and
when the element Of profit enters
into morals conversion Is q rather
easy process.
But whatever the determining
cause these men are to be congratu.
lated on the stand they have taker
and the elevation Of the standard o,
movies will be a wholesome thing
for all concerned.
