if the star and our sun were the same
size the star would be forty times as
bright as the sun.
But examination of this first spec
trum showed in addition that many OF
the lines due to hydrogen and helium
were not single, as is ordinarily the
case, but were double, the two parts
of each line being displayed one part
to the right and one part to the left
of the normal position. The double
lines are sure indication that the
object analysed consists not of one but
of two stars too close together to be
separated by any telescope. but yet
each showing it's presence by forming
it's individual lines in the spectrum.
The separation of these lines shows
how fast the two stars are moving
and the displacement on each side of
the normal position shows that one is
moving toward us and one away
from us. In this particular case the
strongest lines, those evidently be-
longing to the brighter star of the
two. showed that this star was moving
away from us at the rate of 101 miles
second, while the weaker lines be-
longing to the fainter star showed a
motion toward us at the rate of 116
miles a second.
Stars showing such changing dis
placements of the spectrum lines are
called spectroscopic binaries from
their discovery by the spectroscope
as distinguished from the ordinary
visual binary, which appears double
in the telescope. In most spectroscopic
binaries only one spectrum can be
seen and the binary character is
shown by the varying displacements
of the lines corresponding TO chang
ing velocity. There have been about
500 spectroscopic binaries discovered,
of which this observatory is respon-
sible for nearly one-quarter, but less
than one-fifth of these show doubled
lines and in only very few is the
velocity so great as above.
The very high speed of these two
stars. and it seemed likely that the
first plate would not show the maxi
mum speed. was a certain indication
that we had to do with an exceptional
system, either that the pair were
very massive, or very close to one
another. or both. Consequently spec

Harding Orders Taking Over

GREAT SUMS INVOLVED
Corporation Is Accused Of

Washington. ID. C., July !.
AS a direct outcome Of charges made
on the floor of the Senate that the
Chemical Foundation is being unduly
exploited for personal profit President
Harding to-day directed Thomas w.
Miller. Alien Property Custodian, to
take over the German chemical patent
rights, which were turned over at a
nominal price to the foundation by
the last Administration. Hundreds of
millions Of dollars are involved.
President Harding's action caused a
sensation at the Capitol, as few If any
members of Congress had been taken
into his confidence. Charges involving
high officers of the foundation have
been flying thick and fast concern
ing the alleged manner in which they
have been "cashing in" on the Ger
man property at enormous profit.
So serious were the charges that a
Senate committee was named to make
an investigation at the insistence Of
Senators Moses IN. H, Republican,
and King (Utah), Democrat That
committee made preliminary investiga-
tions. but for some unknown reason It
made no headway.
The Chemical Foundation was formed
during the war to take over German
chemical patents used in the manufac-
ture of dyestuffs, which were seized by
the Alien Property Custodian when
former Attorney-General Palmer held
that office

President Hardings letter to-day to
Alien Property Custodian Miller direct
ing him to take over the Chemical
Foundation follows:
"My attention has been called by the
Department of Justice TO the fact that
a corporation known as the Chemical
Foundation has brought suit against
the Treasurer OF the United states and
certain licensees Of the Federal Trade
Commission for an accounting alleged
to be due to the said Chemical Founda-
tion on royalties due II for the use OF
certain patents originally seized under
the authority OF the Alien Property
Custodian and sold 10 the Chemical
Foundation by the Custodian during
the previous administration.
"On the face OF such action Il becomes
apparent to me that an inquiry should
be made. and I asked for a report by
the Department OF Justice on the sale
Of this enemy property to the Chemical
Foundation. II appears that the sale
was made at so nearly a nominal sum
that there is reason 20 believe that this
Government has not faithfully observed

The walkout of railroad shopmen
hit New York yesterday practically
at the peak of the heaviest holiday
traffic in the history of the city. Vir-

Central and the Pennsylvania ter
minals was jammed when the strike

ing untold confusion at all the i'm

It will be forty eight hours, and
perhaps longer, before the full effect
of the strike will be felt. The large
majority of the men effected or
dinarily would lay off work on Satur-
day afternoon and most OF them can
be calculated on taking a holiday to-
morrow as well. Meantime the
operating heads Of the various roads
assert schedules will be maintained.
But with all that went 10 mar what
TO thousands was 20 have been the be-

kept good natured and neither the
weather nor the strike brought violence
in its wake. About II o'clock in the
morning the New York Central posted
notices In the Grand Central Terminal

the strike. The commuters took. the
news philosophically the excurslonists
went on their way regardless Of how or
when they might get back.
Although strikebreakers were being
recruited at a rate said TO be about

Dublin. July 1.
After n comparative lull in the
fighting throughout the city the Free
State soldiers became more active late
this afternoon, encouraging the belief
that they are preparing tonight to
drive the irregulars out of the nu-
merous hotels and buildings which the
rebels have seized, and from which
snipers are firing intermittently at
guards and passing lorries.
Attacks by Irish troops against po-
sitions Of the irregulars in various
parts of the country have carried the
victory achieved yesterday in the cap
ture of the Four Courts a step nearer
accomplishment. Rebel soldiers were
forced to evacuate barracks in six
towns and from ten to twenty gar
risons were captured. Irregulars were
forced to leave three buildings in
Dublin, but they escaped after setting
fire to them.

NEED FOR MENTAL OUTLET
MAKES WOMEN TALK MORE
Finds Volubity Due to Fact That They
Have No Other Way to Utilize Their Entire
Intellectual Energy.

Women talk more than men, but it is
not just through plain cussedness, as go
many men believe. II Is because passive
and attractive woman never has had to
perform acts that absorbed all of her
intellectual energy, and so she has taken
It out in talk. At least, that Is the ex-
planation offered for the greater volu-
bility of women by DR.. A. A. Brill. pro-
fessor of psychology at New York uni
versity. in an address yesterday before
the delegates TO the convention Of the
National Association of Teachers of
Speech and the Eastern Public Speaking
Conference.
Women of to-day. like their more
primitive ancestors" said DR.. Brill.
''can cook. crochet and talk at the same
time, and giving SO much time to the
child with whom she babbles and teaches
TO talk, she has thus developed her own
speech.
1T has always been asserted that
women are more voluble than men, and

there is no question about il. Jespersop,
the phiiologist. states that the superior
readiness of speech Of women is a con-
comitant OF the fact that their vocabu-
larry Is smaller and more central than
that OF men =. that the highest
linguistic genius and the lowest degree
OF linguistic imbecility are rarely found
among women. The greatest orators,
tho most famous literary artists have
been men,.
This is not slur on women, but L
simply shows that there Is a greater
variability OF the male eek; that
whereas the latter shows the great
orators. It also shows a much greater
number OF men than of women who can
not put two words together intelliglbly,
who stutter and stammer and hesitate
and are unable TO find suitable express
sion for the slightest thoughts.
I'm brief. II may be said that as man
is normally less fluent in his speech
than woman, he shows greater prepon-
derance in speech disturbances"
