Some years ago Professor Langley
gave expression to the idea that the
sun is not white, but blue, its APP
parent whiteness being due principally
to the absorptive action of its own
atmosphere, and partly to that of our
air. After several years of further
research, the professor was able to
show that the sun, although We re-
gard it as white, is blue. or at least
blush.

two miles.
The Maryland public service COM
mission authorized the suspension OF

by residents of that community. The
circuit court Of Prince Georges coun-
ty, Md, has upheld the ruling OF the
Maryland commission. and the com
pany last night operated the last car
over the stretch of track in question.
Officials of the company announced
that the abandonment Of the two miles
of track referred to will make possible
an improved schedule from 18th and II
streets northeast to Bladensburg.
The tracks will not be torn up from
East Riverdale to East Berwyn. and.
discussing the possibility Of resum-
ing service in that section in the fu-
ture. the company issued the follow
ing statement:
THE company hopes that remedial
legislation will be enacted by Con-
gress. that will permit the resump-
tion Of service. The company has al
ways stated that it desired to main
tain the integrity of it's system and
not abandon any service on any of
it's suburban lines, fully realizing the
inconvenience and discomfort that fol-
lows to patrons who have homes in
