MARS UNINHABITED
ASTRONOMER SAYS

THE only trouble about the
speculations concerning communi
cation with Mars and Venus is that
the best astronomical opinion is
that there are no living beings on
those planets to communicate with,
according to Prof. b. r. Baumgardt.
who lectured yesterday afternoon
and last evening before members
of the National Geographic Society
at the New Masonia Temple.
Juvenile suns" with infant
worlds" in their arms were re-
vealed in photographs. shown here
for the first time, taken through
the new telescope at Mount Wilson.
Should anyone be projected to
the moon, he stated. the traveller
will find a desolate place, with no
air nor water. The new Mount
Wilson instrument has enabled such
close study of the moons surface
that many of the craters and hills.
and dried up ocean beds. resemble
photographs of the earth's surface
taken from an aeroplane. Many of
these craters and mountains have
been named. and soon our knowl-
edge of the moons physiography
will enable a mapping of its sur
face no less accurate than that of
the earth. The height of the hills
and depths of the craters may be
determined from the shadows cast.

delicate task of determining in
scores of instances just how much
service in the way of light. heat
and repairs householders should
have.
At present such cases are being
referred by tniel C Roper. jr..
secretary to We commission. to
Health Officer Fowler. but about
the only powert he can exercise is
to require adeq\ ate water supply
and plumbing re1 airs.

loted for replies.

WILL EDUCATE
WORKERS

Being Tried Out By N.

CBy star corre.podent.,;

Hartford. Conn, Feb. 6.-The United
States Railway Administration. the
State Board Of Education of Connecti-
cut, and Director of Vocational Edu-
cation. OF the same Commonwealth,
have worked out a plan for educat-
ing 200 employees OF the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railway.
Instruction is to be given in FIVE Of
the trade schools supported by the
State. and. to some extent, also in
the railroad shops of East Hartford.
The students will be employees rang
ing in age from 16 to 30 years. and the
training will be obligatory. choice OF
students resting with the railway COM
pany. which also agrees to employ a
trained educational supervisor who
will give his whole time to supervision
Of the work.
Each apprentice or employe will
spend not less than four hours each
week in a designated trade school near
his home. The schools will report to
the vocational director and to the rail-
ways each month as to the record Of
each student. Most OF the supplies
and tools necessary for the courses
will be supplied by the railway.
On the success of this experiment
so significant Of the newer ideals in
education and industry. will depend
extension OF the same opportunities
by educators in other States TO the
great armies Of workers on the rail-
ways. Whatever other changes the re-
turn TO private management of the
railways may bring. IL is to be hoped
that they will not look with coIdness
on this enterprise and others like il.
II has the merit OF being State-sup-
ported and aided and yet at the same
time having its distinct national
bearings.
There is no one involved in rhe
whole process of rsilroading whether
it be the investor. the manager. or the
cmploye. who. is not certain TO gain
by any increased intelligence and ef-
ficiency which may come TO the work
ers. whether they be OF the apprentice
group or whether they are adults.

POMERENE FOE
OF RETIREMENT
Senate Action on Civil
Service Bill Delayed
By Ohioan.
NEW BILL PRESENTED
Fight Centers on Alleged
Excessive Cost to the
Government.

Indefinite postpopement of action by
the Senate on theisterling Civil Sery-
ice Retirement Bill became unaxoid-
able yesterday when the upper house
adjourned without voting on the
measure, to meet again Monday for
resumption of the treaty fight.
Progress on the Sterling Bill prom
ises to be further impeded by intro
duction of a substitute measure by
Senator Pomerene of Ohio. A sharp
debate between the authors of the
two bills occurred yesterday after
noon in which such terms as fraud"
and steal" were freely employed in
reference to Senator Sterling's meas
ure. 1t will be necessary to dispose
of the substitute before the original
bill comes to vote.
The Sterling bill. upon which civil
service employees Of the District and
Federal governments pin their hopes
provides that retirement shall occur
at the age of s., in cases where Is
years have been served. The govern
ment would contribute 62.3 per cent
and employees 81 per cent towards
the retirement fund
Senator POmerene's bill would put
into effect a graduated scale of as
sessment against employees salaries.
rising in proportion to the age Of
entry into service to a maximum of
eight per cent. The retirement age is
fixed at 20.
The contest centered about the re-
liability of the two experts who acted
aS advisers of the Senators. Sterling
asserted this plan would not cost the
government more than S9O0C.OO0 a year.
Pomerene asserted the burden on the
government would be at least $15. .OOO. 600
a year.
Your BILL" said Mr.. Pomerene,
would saddle on the government four
nfthS of the cost of retirement annui-
ties. and is opposed to all sound prin-
ciples of annuity legislation by pro-
NidlnE that one mans annuity shall
be paid out of the contributions of
another. instead of his own contribu-
tions. 1t violates every principle for
the handling OF trust funds, and re-
duces each beneficiary to the position
of d claimant against the government,
and YOU know what that means even
IL the simplest and clearest of cases. -
All efforts to bring the Sterling bill

two weeks seems inevitable.

MISCHA ELMAN
In FINE RECITAL
Violinist Heartily Appre-
ciated at National
Iheater.

Mischa Elman. one of the worlds
greatest violinists. was heard in re-
cital at the National Theater yes
terday afternoon under the manage
ment of Mrs. wilson Greene.
He offered long and varied pro-
gram and one of the most artistic
of the. season. Opening with the
Sonata in d Major" by Handel,
he played this quaint work with
simplicity which brought out all
its sweetness.
In the Symphonic Espagnole," by
Lalo. which followed. the artist
showed a tendency to force his tone.
thus producing a scratchy overtone,
something unusual for him. His
general work in this manner was
spoiled by a constant shifting of the
feet and swaying of the body, which
is apt to destroy the unity between
artist and audience, and is so in
contrast with the quietness and
poise of other leading violinists.
The Faust Fantaisie," by Wien
iawski. is a much more difficult
work than the composition of that
name, by Sarasate which we some
times near, anu tue "dlIZ movement,
with its harmonics and broken
runs and staccato returns, was most
artistically played.
The Mendelssohn. Chaminade.
Grieg and Beethoven numbers
proved the most popular. The
Scarf Dance" was an improve
ment on the original. and 1t is safe
to say that Beethoven would have
enjoyed listening to the "Contre-
Danses." AS an encore to this
group, the violinist responded with
Schubert's AVE Maria" a compo-
sition which needs the interpreta-
ton of a sophisticated artist.
As the program progressed. FL
mans tone, which Fritz Kreisler
has characterized as ''God-given."
seemed to grow more lovely. In
the Bruch arrangement of "Kol
Nidrei." an air more than 5000
years old. il reached it's height.
The closing number. the wonder
full and fascinating "Ziegeuner-
weisen." by Sarasate, was played
in cIean-cut style and with all the
passionate fire which the composer
intended. Many of the accompani-
ments were very difficult. and the
work of Mr.. Josef Bonime at the
piano was superb.
This was the last recital which
will be given by EIman in Wash
ington for several years.
