METEOR DISPLAY
IS DUE JUNE q
Collision May Bring Com
ct Pons-Winnecke
To Grief.

London, June 4.-Pons-Winnecke
the short-period comet, which is hur-
ling thru space at a speed of many
thousand miles an hour toward the
earth, will not have the best of the
bump" according to Prof. A. Fow-
Ter, chief lecturer in astronomy at
the Imperial Science College, South
Kensington.
ut is generally accepted" said the
professor. that we shall come in con-
tact with its tail, IL at all. In this
event 1t is possible Pons-Winnecke
may become so disintegrated that 9TH
er self-respecting comets will dis
own him"
Cyclonic Traveller.
One can picture some scientist in
a few weeks time picking up a small
meteor, he mortal remains CT this
cyt'Onic traveller in our space. Ala,
poor PJrs, we know him VIII" will
doubtless be the comment of the as
Economical world.
Professor Fowler was the first
scientist to prove that the tails of
comets have carbonic oxide gas in
stead of the deadly cyanogen gas, as
was previously supposed.
when the tail of Pons comes in
contact with this EARTH" continued
Professor Fowler, vast quantities of
caTbonic oxide, which is an odorless
gas, will be absorbed in the atmos-
phere of this planet. There is no
cause for alarm, since the proportion
of carbonic oxide is so small in rela-
ton TO the immense volume of atmos-
phere round the earth that the effect
will be imperceptible. People do not
realize how many million tons the
atmosphere we breath weighs. AT
ground level the weight is fourteen
pounds to the square inch. In adj
dition to gas the tail will contain
meteoric dust-that is, particles of
iron and nickel. This dust is not
likely TO reach us.
Fascinating Theory.
''As to how a comet is formed
can not tell you, any more than
can tell you, from a scientific point
of view, how the earth was formed.
Perhaps they come from gases thrown
off from the sun, which are gradual
ly cooled. On the other hand, lead
ing authorities on astronomy say
that it is clear that comets can not
have originated within the limits of
the solar system. They PROFOUND the
fascinating theory that comets, such
as Pons-Winnecke, come from a dis
tance in space so great that it is i'm
possible to think or speak of it in
terms of miles"
Professor Fowler added that Jupi-
ter, to whose family Pops-Winnecke |
belongs, may cause a disturbance and
so alter the path of the comet that it
will reach its nearest point to the
earth about June 81, the date on
which it is expected.
when the public interest in Hal
ley's comet became acute l worked |
out the exact date of the arrival"
continued Professor Fowler, "but l
should be involved in laborious cal !
culati0ns for days on end if l were
to ascertain the day on which Pons
will drop his visiting card in the
shape of shower of meteorites."

CREDITS ASKED
FOR CAT1LEMfN
Federal Reserve Head Fa-
vors Big Loan To
Raisers.

Washington, June 5.-Legislation
authorizing Secretary Mellon to make
available TO the War Finance Cor
poration S5O,OOO,OOO to be loaned
cattle raisers was recommended to
Congress by the Federal Reserve
Board in a formal statement issued
tonight by Governor Harding. The
recommendation was made. Governor
Harding explained, with the concur
renee of the secretary, to meet the
peculiar emergency existing in the
livestock industry"
The boards proposal was announc-
ed by the governor before leaving for
a two weeks tour of the cattle-pro-
ducing sections Of the country. He
will stop at Des MOines, Ia, Chey-
enne,, Wyo., Albuquerque, N. NJ, FL
Paso, San Angelo, San Antonio and
Dallas, Tex. Governor Harding has
just completed a similar tour of the
agricultural sections Of the South and
Middle West.
1.-THE board feels" the governor
said, that the financial emergency
which menaced the country during
1920 has definitely passed." How
ever, he added, additional credit IA
cilities are urgently needed by pro-
ducers of some highly essential pro-
ducts, particularly in the stock-rais-
ing industry.
Should Stabilize Credits.
Amendment to the reserve act,
making one and two-year cattle paper
eligible for rediscount, instead of the
existing limit of six months, as a
means of providing the longer term
credit required by the necessities OF
the LIVESTOCK industry is deemed in
advisable by the board, the governor
declared. Such loans, he asserted,
could be made thru reserve banks as
fiscal agents for the War Finance
Corporation rather than as banks of
discount. He suggested that the
time for making these advances to
stockmen~ be limited to three years
from the passage of the enabling
legislation, with a view to having
the funds thus advanced ultimately
returned to the Treasury"
This legislation. in the boards
opinion" he continued. will meet
the present emergency and should
give ample time for the development
of permanent plans for the financing
of the livestock industry. 1t should
also tend to stabilize the credits af-
fecting this industry and serve to
demonstrate the value to those desir-
ing short-time investments, of cattle
paper running longer than six
months. -
Discussing the general credit sit
uation, Governor Harding maintain
ed there was no ground for apprehen-
sion regarding the ability of the
banks to meet the requirements of
both agriculture and industry.
1T is the opinion of the federal
reserve board" he said, that the
country is approaching a crop season
with underlying conditions far sound
er than they were a year ago. 1t
should be understood that, until
there is a broadening of the market
for agricultural products, many farm
ers will have to be granted extensions
on loans already made them, and will
in many cases require additional
credits to member banks for the pro-
ductive requirements of their custom
ers and urged all banks to aid in
easing the situation in the agricul-
tural districts, until normal processes
could be further developed.
