HUMAN FACE AS 4 BEACON
Radiomstsr Able 70 Record the
"shlns" Thrown on, at Z Distance
OF Several Miles. a

Novelists that speak OF q face
sighting up" put down an actual truth
that few Of them are aware Of or In
tend. One Of the most delicate In
struments In the world, q radiometer,
records the 'shine" Of q human face,
and can do 1t, at q distance Of several
miles. So delicate IS the instrument
that it can detect and record the glim-
mel Of q candle half q mile away, and
Il there we're no atmospheric obstruc.
ton It could detect the same candle 16
miles away. The instrument consists
Of two thin glass disks, one polished
and n blackened, suspended by q
quartz thread In a Vacuum Waves of
radiant energy striking this instru-
ment disturb It's balance, because the
bright disk reflects them, while the
black one absorbs them. ).
While the human face to the nor
NAL eye gives out no waves Of radiant
energy, the fact remains that a con-
slant flow of energy Is being, thrown
off, and these waves travel an un-
known distance. Although the radio
meter Is a wonderful and delicate in
strument, there Is q thermal couple
ten times as sensitive as the radiome.
ter and 1t can detect the heat Of q
candle go miles distant.

FEW TAKE UP DADS WORK
Sons Today Seem 70 Avoid occupa'
tons Which Found Favor In
Their Fathers Eyes

Fathers footsteps but rarely now
mark the path for sons career Reed
college, Oregon, determined to find
out how many sons on its student and
alumni roll were choosing vacations
without family bias and discovered
that most Of them were free from
hereditary leanings toward fathers
trade or professions, says the Port
land OregOnian.
Sons Of ministers are preparing to
become engineers. Farmers boys are
studying medicine. Longshoremen's
heirs are looking forward to teaching.
Is 1t dlial perversity? Or are they
profting by fathers unsatisfactory
experience? This is an age of petting
III aptitudes, but where choice is
SO wide and inclination wavers. 1t
may be doubted whether decisions
have been simplified by disregarding
ancestral jobs.
At Reed farming heads the list OF
parental occupations, but all the farm
ers' sons have gone In for higher ed
ucation as a preparation for business
or the professions. Matriculating
farm boys distinguish their dads by
such subtle grades as farmer" Tag
riculturist" and "rancher." A CON-
munity made up Of Reed students
fathers would comprise every type Of
worker needed except q mayor.

japan Sees Need 81 CHANCE,

In consequence Of the e~ver-increas-
ing magnitude Of Japan's economic re-
%lationship with foreign nations it has
been found that the Japanese system
Of weights and measures, which is a
relic Of the feudal regime, gives rise
to considerable difficulty and incon-
venience in trade because Of Its total
difference from any accepted system
of the world measurements. Accord
ingly, the question of radical reforma-
ton of the existing system has long
been considered. 1t Is now reported
that after a careful consideration Of
the subject by a commission, which
was established in the department of
agriculture and commercef0 that pur-
pose, the authorities concerned have
reached a decision that the French
metric system should be universally
adopted.-East and West News.

q group Of Los Angeles men have Or
ganized a company which has for its
purpose the transplanting Of trees,
and the removal Of trees and stumps

The tree and stump company Is a

men travel In automobiles, carrying
their tools and tree-moving machin-
cry In trailers behind the cars. Thus
equipped they are prepared to 60
quickly to any location about the city
wherever their services are required.
The mechanical appliances Of tree
transplanting, and tree and stump 70
moval, are few and simple. There Is
an abundance Of block-and-tackle
equipment for the handling Of large.
heavy trees, and q compact windlass
Of special design Is used for pulling
trees out by the roots.
When q: tree is merely to be re-
moved, q stream Of water played from

of on the busy little teacher. The

asked to stand and use the word in a
sentence. And no one need expect to
go home until the word was fully ex-
planned.

 UPHOLDS DECISION

Notice was received yesterday by Clyde c. Downing. deputy clerk of the United States district court in Arizona that the circuit court of appeals for the ninth district, San Francisco, has sustained the ruling of the district court in favor of the city of Phoenix in the suit brought against it by Julia Mosher Collins William B. Blount and Hattie l.. Mosher to collect damages for the alleged confiscation Of a part of their property on Van Buren street.
 According to the complaint in the case, when the city laid out Van Buren street it included in the street a strip of land 704 feet long and 8 feet wide which was a part of the Lount tract owned by the plaintiffs. This strip it is alleged, is now worth between S4O,O00 and s45,00O, and the plaintiffs asked $6000 damages. The strip runs on the north side of Van Buren street from Central avenue to Second street
 When the suit was brought before the district court here judgment was given the city, whereupon the case was appealed and the ruling of the lower court sustained.
