MOON CHANGES
 AFFECT RADIO COMMUNICATION

PARIS, Jan. 27 (by Associated Press) The changes of the moon have been found by the radio officers of the small American fleet in the Adriatic sea to have a striking effect upon the efficiency of the atmosphere for transmitting radio communica- tions. The officers have succeeded in drawing curves and other diagrams; based upon months of observation, which, they assert, reliably serve to indicate what atmospheric and celes- tial conditions affecting radio service will be met at any particular date in the future.
 The discovery apparently has spe- cial application to the vicinity of the Adriatic, for there the changes in the atmospheric conditions caused by the change in the worlds relation to the moon are much more marked than anywhere else in the world, so far as yet discovered
 The Adriatic fleet under Admiral Andrews depends almost entirely for it's communications upon radio service, and having only receiving and send ing apparatus of moderate efficiency it has specially benefited from the dis coveries. Tn powerful land wireless stations, such as the new Lafayette station near Bordeaux manage to overcome unfavorable conditions by using great power and so are not con. cerned about which way the moon turns.

TURN SECT TEMPLE
 INTO JAM FACTORY

CHATHAM, Eng, Jan. 27 (by Asso- ciated Press) .-Jezreers Temple, the former headquarters of the sect known as New and Later House of Israel near here, has been sold and is to be turned into a jam factory.
 The temple, a great gaunt building stands on Chatham Hill and is land mark of Kent. It was erected 30 years ago by James White, the founder of the sect, who claimed to possess a roll of the 144,OO0 faithful to be caught up to heaven on the day of judgment, according to the Revela- tions.
 After Whites death, the temple was occupied for some time by an Ameri- can Jezreelite who styled himself Prince Michael"

WOMEN PROVE THEIR ABILITY
 AT MENpS WORK

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S (by Associated Press) ).-Only part of the women en- gagged in industry during the war period have lost their place through the return of men from the war and the lack of employment, Miss Mary Anderson, director of the women's bu- reau of the United States department of labor, reports.
 statements to the bureau from hundreds of industry heads who em- ployed only women during the war show they have retained their female help, while others state they have re- placed their women with male work CTS" Miss Anderson said.
 Because of the volume of unem- ployment throughout the country to- day no accurate figures as to the number Of women employed in indus tries at present as compared with the war period are obtainable.
 Il believe that when figures of the 1920 census are available, they will show more than 12,00OOO0 women in gainful occupation. The census, how ever, will not set forth the present situation because unemployment has increased by leaps and bounds since it was taken.
 "Women won the admiration of en- ployers during the war period by their ability to fill in on mems jobs. Take for instance lathe operators. Thous- ands of women became very efficient and still retain their places beside men operators. The war gave Ameri- can women a new opportunity in in- dusCry and they grasped it."
 There are two factors needed to in- sure women their place in Industry, Miss Anderson said. Protective legis- lation for the eight hour day is badly needed, she declared, and added that the women must organize within the next few years"
 With the return of prosperity, in dustIies will cIamor for women work CTS, in the opinion of Miss Mary E. Mcdowell of the University of Chi cago settlement house, who is chair man of the women in industry com- mittee of ahe national league of wo- men voters.

CLIFF HOUSE SAN FRANCISCO
 AGAIN OPENED

SAN RANCISCO, Jan. 27. - The Cliff House, San Francisco's wonder spot and historical landmark, re- nowned the world over, was reopened recently with all pomp and splendor. Situated on a commanding bluff over- Joking the approach to the Golden Gate and with a commanding view of the World-famOus seal rocks. where bask several score of seals and sea lions during most months of the year, this institution will again take rank as one of the greatest restaurants of the world, Owing to wartime prohi- bitiOn measures the Cliff House was closed on account of its proximity to military reservations and forts. Thous- ands of visitors from all over the world have inquired for it during the last two years, only to learn of it's closed doors. Through the efforts of a well known restauranteur and cafe owner of San Francisco, its doors have again opened with brilliant ef- fleets and decorations as never before seen. So is the history of the original Cliff House sustained, for it was built in the middle of the last century from the wreck of ship passing through the Golden Gate, that ships that pass to and fro in the night may see its glow from the heads.

MIDDLETON BURNING sT1Rs.
Seven Homes Destroyed as Result
of Ambush of Police.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 3.-Public opinion
received shock when the details
of the burning Of the Irish town of
Middleton on Saturday were made
public yesterday. This shock was
particularly felt in quarters where it
had been supposed that martial law
in southwestern Ireland would put
an end to such reprisals.
Nowhere is there outSpoken ap-
prevail if the punishment meted out to
the Irish village by Maj Gen. Sir Ed :
ward Strickland. and there evidently is
some reluctance to indorse this method
of keeping order.
Furniture Is Burned.
In official statements it is declared
that seven dwellings in Middleton
were destroyed as a result Of an am
bush of police near that town last
Wednesday. Declaration is made
that the authorities had decided that
the people living in certain houses
in the vicinity of the outrage must
have known of the plot to ambush
of the houses selected for destruc-
ton had been warned to leave. the
buildings were set on fire. The oc-
cupants were permitted to remove
their valuables but had to leave their
furniture behind.
Wnlle OoCunlnS TO question the ACT
of burning the houses, on the ground
that it was a drastic measure, the
London Times questions the adequacy
of the explanation that the inhabi-
tants of the burned dwellings were
bound to have known Of the ambush.
"Official reprisal," the newspaper
continues. may be a rough form of
justice, but, despite the roughness.
the element of justice should be al
ways beyond question"
3sReveals State of War"
The Daily Express. granting that
the action was legal. and presumably
necessary, adds: But it is horrible,
as it reveals an absolute state of war
in Ireland, and it is impossible to
withhold sympathy from Irishmen
who find themselves between the ham
mer of Sim Fein murderers and the
anvil Of the British troops
The radical press. on the other
hand, is Mortified. the Daily News

party to put an end to the campaign
of ambushes and general disorder now

The arrest Of Griffith and MacNeill
