SEASONS ON MARS
AND EARTH ALIKE
Recent Studies Of Planet Bear
Out Theories Of Prof.
Lowell

FLAGSTAFF. ARIZ., July IA
Members of the staff of Lowell Obser-
vatory here are elated over recent
studies of the planet Mars, which,
they assert, bear out the theories of
the late Percival Lowell, founder of
the observatory, as to snowfall and
vegetation on the little red planet.
Mars, nearest neighbor of this world
with the exception OF Venus, is closer
TO the earth now than at any time in
Is years. Observations have been in
progress for the past five months each
hour of every night that weather con-
dltions would permit Hundreds of
photographs and charts have been
made.
Seasons Same As On Earth
The seasons on Mars have the same
significance as on our earth and DC
cur in the same manner, but are
about twice the length of our own, ac-
cording to Doctors E. c. and v. Nj.
Slipher, of the observatory staff. A
statement by them on the results of
the latest observations here follows:
:. Winter has been occurring in the
southern hemisphere of the planet
Mars and the extensive dark areas
there are now faint and have been so
for some time, betokening the dead
season of vegetation in conformity
with the view held by Lowell regard
ing the seasonal changes on the
planet.
THE large winter cap of white
about the south pole of Mars, which
for some month. has appeared to con-
sist of only mist or cloud covering the
south polar regions Of the planet
down to latitude forty degrees, is now
dissipating and disclosing a mantle of
snow beneath. The spring season for
the southern hemisphere is now ap-
preaching, the season there at pres
ent corresponding to our March 81,
and these changes are characteristic
of late winter over the south of Mars

autumn is arriving and the polar cap

the last few Martian nights. On the
night of June IL it was observed that
when the planets longitude 265 came

covered by a bright canopy. This
bright hood faded off toward the
equator but was discernible down
nearly to fifty degrees north latitude

that at a word from the proper au-
thority the entire organization could
be set in motion to meet an emer-

Seaplanes operating from the Naval
Air Station at Pensacola, Fla, could,

ADMINISTRATION HIT

craving and Printing.

Censure of the administration for
continuing to withhold from the public
Information as to the reasons for the
at the bureau of engraving and
printing and answering continued
intimations that the bureau was mis-
managed and the officials were guilty
OF misconduct was made in the House
late yesterday by Representative r.
Walton Moore of Virginia.
He reviewed the bureau case and
. u emphasis on the fact that one of
tne new officials is defendant in a
divorce suit In which shocking
charges" are made
According to recent newspaper
statements" he said. there is to be
further delay in giving the public
information as to the reason for the
executive order of March 80, which
led to the removal of the director and
other responsible officials of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, and
the substitution of others in their
places. Meanwhile. there continue to
be intimations that the bureau was
being mismanaged and that the Off
Cia!s were guilty of misconduct.
The officials who were removed
were rendering faithful service. and
there was no good reason for the
Presidents order" Representative
Moore continued. ne PreSlOent was
the victim of those whose advice
he trusted. chief among whom. have
n" doubt. were the Attorney General
and Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Dover, who seem to be the chief
patronage pilots of the administra-
tion ship. The action which was
taken, besides disregarding the spirit,
if not the letter, of the civil service
law. was gross injustice to COM
petent and honest officials, men and
women, who. SO far as we are up to
this time advised, are beyond re-
proach.
THE government has suffered a
real loss by the removal of some of
the officials. who. in their special line.
were among the most conspicuous
and useful experts in this country.
and evidence of this is found in the
fact that their services are now being
sought by private enterprises.
Il do not mean to say that all of
the newly appointed officials are un-
worthy or disreputable. I would be
most unhappy to think that such is
the case. and would be the last man
to assume it to be the fact without
definite proof. But what I do mean
to say is that some of them are liable
to that criticism"

Universal Grief

According to dispatches. there's
trouble everywhere, and anguish
comes in patches, and statesmen
rend their hair. In China there's
been fighting, to gain the diamond
belt; the Russian rule is blighting,
its evils now are felt. The mon
archists are plotting wherever kings
were canned, palladiumsl are rotting
in every foreign land. Grief, grief!
See Ireland grab it; she now has
freedoms boon, but has the scrap
ping habit, and cannot drop it soon.
Poor France is badly busted, by
Prussian armies wrecked; her
statesmen are disgusted Because
she can't collect. And even stalwart
Britain, that never quailed before.
by grievous. ills is smitten, and
smiles and sings no more. Alas,
the sad dispatches, from groaning
nations sent! The reader sighs and
scratches his head in wonderment.
How can one read such tidings, such
news from DER the foam. and fill
the air with chidings, and beef
around at home? Our sickly little
troubles. DER which the knockers
bray, are evanescent bubbles a
breath will blow away. Why roar
OF income taxes and laws we do not
like. and arm ourselves with axes,
some men of straw to strike? Let's
cease to tear our thatches and rant
OF pipe-dream ills, and read the
grim dispatches from lands where
trouble kills.
