Scientists Find Moon Off Its
Course and Earth Lagging
DIR. Brown Says Irish Channels Grip Is Responsible,
but Assures Laymen Years Are Only Length
ened One-thousandth of Second

SWARTHMORE, Pa, Dec. 80 BY The
Associated Press .--Something is wrong
with the solar system, DIR. Ernest W.
Brown head of the mathematics de-
partment of Yale University, told mem
bers OF the American Astronomical So
ciety in session to-day at Swarthmore
College. Either the earth S rate of ro-
tation is slowing down or the moon is
moving faster. This conclusion was
reached by Professor Brown when he
observed that the days are becoming
longer
This fact, long suspected and now
verified beyond reasonable doubt, the
Yale mathematician declared, need not
be taken into account in the daily life
OF laymen, because it amounts to less
than one-thousandth of second a year.
However, he declared, it is decidedly
annoying to men of science, who base
their calculations on the regularity Of
the various units Of the solar system
He said that he had spent number of
years mapping the course of the moon
for several hundred years and had COM
piled table of the moons obit. But,
apparently, the moon was not following
the schedule and he threw his mass of
Investigations into the waste basket.
Trouble Not With Moon
The trouble, he added, is not with
the moon, but with the earth, which
scientists use as a clock. Tidal fric-
ton on the earth. particularly in the
Irish Channel and the Bering Sea, is
pulling the moon off it's course, Pro-
fessor Brown believes, thus accounting
