Wednesday morning. The first
number on the program was a plano
selection from the opera "Rigoletto, ="
played by the French pianist Cortot.
Journet. the French bass. gave the
next selection, "The Two Grena-
diers." The last record was violin
solo by Mischa Elman. For this
record he has taken the music Of
some OF the Jewish religious festivals
and made II into a violin solo. Miss
Dora Wilcox who is always concert
master at these concerts, reminded
the girls Of the concert to be given
by Rachmaninoff in Wilmington.
Many OF the girls are planning to
hear the great pianist. The class in
music appreciation will probably go
to Philadelphia to hear Mary Gar
den in opera.
Miss Marian Rodney 20, the
leader OF the Glee Club, called a very
important meeting on Wednesday
evening. There was a large attend

decided to give a concert in Wolf

Or. Abram Harter was the chapel
speaker on Thursday morning. DR.
Harter spoke on Astronomy. He be-
gan by saying that astronomy is now
neglected by most people. In ancient
times the common people knew
something OF the stars. We read
references to the stars and their
supposed influence in the Bible. The
sun is the nearest star to the earth.
IL is a very small star. but because
OF its nearness it gives such a great
light that we seldom see the other
stars when it is shining. We can.
however, see the moon and Venus
when the sun is shining. You can
see the stars in the daytime II you
are at the bottom Of a we'll. Astron-
omers have telescopes by means Of
which they can study the stars in
the daytime. The constellation OF
Orion is a very interesting group Of
stars. one OF these stars has dl-
ameter OF three million miles. Cirens,
the dog star, has a very bad reputa-
ton. IL was supposed to have caused
dog days when 1t rises with the
sun in July. Arturus is a well-known
star II is mentioned in the book OF
Job. Neptune. Jupiter, Saturn, Mer-
curry and Venus are important stars.

life ON MARS?
SCIENCE DOUBTS
Prof. Frome Thinks Geo.
logic Conditions Favor
Belief
SNEEZES FATAL
MANY YEARS AGO

That age-old question; Ills Mars In
habited? ?" was answered last night
by John Henry Frome, well-known
scientist of New York. in a lecture
at the New Century Club, with a
declaration that any planet may be
inhabited II it has reached a geo
logic condition such as will support
life, and that Mars appears to have
reached that stage.
Mr.. Frome's subject was "Our Re-
lation to the Universe" He illus
trated it with numerous lantern
slides. many of which we're highly
effective. He held that the entire
universe, so far as construction and
composition is concerned, is abso-
lutely known to science through the
application OF the spectrum analy-
sis. Chemical changes now going on
in the sun and distant stars are ac-
tually recorded in the scientific
laboratories, he said, and all sorts
OF things once deemed mysterious
and contrary to natural laws have
become plain and easily explainable
through the increased knowledge Of
chemistry.
Mr.. Frome told OF the story re-
lated by an ancient monk who said
people sneezed themselves to death
at one time hundreds OF years ago.
when the earth was supposed to have
passed through the tail of comet.
This story was always regarded as
fable. Modern Investigations have
shown that this earth has passed
through the tails Of comets, and that
the tails OF some comets do actually
contain enough "sneezing gas" TO
cause something pretty close to what
the ancient monk claimed. The story
is not proved, of course. he said. but
1t may have had considerable basis
in fact.
The atomic theory. once laughed
at. and lately partially abandoned
has become more recently thorough
ly established. Now the shadows OF
molecules have actually been photo
graphed, he said. In a sense a
molecule is like our universe, with
the same processes OF concentration
evolution. development and decay
going on constantly in a small way
Just as in the universe.
In expousding his theory that
Mars may be inhabited, Mr.. Frome
said there was no reason to be
/ lieve that development OF life
forms may have taken the same
direction in that planet that
they have here. however. Mr.
Frome explained in considerable de
tail the we'll known theory OF Pro
fessor Lowell the astronomer, whS
thinks the so-called canals OF Mars
are really strips OF land along
certain irrigation systems which
4 blossom with vegetation when th'
melting ice at the poles flow
through the canals and provide
water for the plants along the cana
borders.
Mars. he said. has a thin atmos
phere, so that it probably nevei
rains there. 1t is possible, OF course
that some such theory as that ad
vanced by DR.. Lowell may be true
Venus. on the other hand, is sur
rounded by an atmosphere so thicl
that it probably constantly raini
there. and the inhabitants. II ther'
are any, never see the sunshine. Th'
planet probably is in a state similai
to this earth cons and cons ago.

Oh dear father, how we missed you,
In the year that has gone by.

For two years or more.
Until God called him home.

Sadly missed by his Wife and Children.
