Fair and Warmer" is an instan-
taneous hit with audiences for the
very natural reason that It is a
homely idea that reaches homes and
because the situations and the lines
that the actors speak are natural
and everyday. To begin with, the
idea is so ingenious that IL was a
comparatively simple matter TO
create three acts that fairly ooze
with laughter. And not only laugh
ter. but the kind that makes one lit
orally weep with uncomfortable JOY.

Professor w. II. Pickering of Mand-

mers, including some of the best.
The 40-inch lens of the Yerks tel
escope and the 60-inch mirror of
the Mount Wilson telescope fail to
reveal any such details as are drawn
by the devoted disciples of Mars.
The best photographs show nothing
more than a few vague dark spots
and streaks. Probably most astron-
omers would not go so far as Di-

Observatory who says almost GER
tainly there is vegetable life on Mars,
although It is mot actually proved
and that some form of animal life
is probable.
Water is Scarce.
The atmosphere is very thin. Mars
probably has less than a quarter as
much air per aero as the earth and,
even this may not contain the oxy-
gen necessary for life. Water is
scarce. No clouds are observed.
