MIRCONI TO INTERVIEW MARS

Marconi, the pioneer wizard OF
wireless, is coming to America in a
further effort to learn the source OF
signals which he believes may be sent
from Mars. Two years ago Marconi
operators at several stations receiv-
ed signals which were of no traceable
origin. Each message consisted Of
three SIS in the Morse code These
mysterious signals. apparently due to
electromagnetic waves Of extraordi-
nary length, are thought By Marconi
to be an attempted communication
from another planet. Radio, he re-
minds us. gave science its first real
hope of interplanetary communica-
ton. All previous methods suggest
ed were exploded without the neces-
sity of a practical demonstration.
Prof Todd, who is now supervising
the scientific work on gigantic tele-
scope which will bring Mars within a
mile and half of the earth optical
ly, made many tests to get into COM
municatiGn with the planet. but with
no success. Mars is just nov unusu-
ally near to the earth, so that the
scientists are making a special study
of it. 1t will be stiH nearer in 1924
and then swe may really expect
some results.
The obstacles in the way OF Sstab-
fishing such communication are so
great that any feasible method OF
casting electric waves across inter-
stellar space is not yet in sight. II
has been estimated that wireless
plant powerful enough to cast wave
length capable of reaching Mars
would require the concentration Of
all the electric power in the country
would have cost $1,000, 100000 and
would require the concentration Of
all the electric power in the country
in one great sending station. Owing
TO the impracticability of building
towers thousands of feet high. metal
balloons filled with helium gas have
been suggested to take their place.
Undoubtedly from such sending sta
ton, could it be constructed, an cleo
trio wave could be produced of vast
length. But when Mars reaches its
closest point to the earth it will
still be 35.OOO,OOO miles away and
the longest waves so far cast have
not exceeded 500, though under I'M
usual circumstances signals have
been sent 10000 miles.

made in the "interferometer," the de-
vice invented by Prof. Nicholson for
finding out the size of the fixed"
stars. The first star to be thus mea-
sured was Bselguese. in the constei-
lation Orion :, it was found to be $780,
100000 milss in diameter, or $50
times as big as our sun. The second
star to be measured was Arcturus,
and it is 100000 miles. Now
they have added Vega to the list.
Vega is the beautiful silvery white
star, in the constellation of the Harp.

able, triangle of stars high up in the
eastern sky during the evening at this
season of the year
Vega, it is found. is only little
over 100000 miles in diameter, or
only seven times the size of our sun
1t is very great distance away, and
the reason it shines SO bright is that
it is a white or young" sun, much
younger than ours, and its fires have
not begun to- die down yet. Our sun
is a middle-ased sun and it is of the
yellow order. The older suns show
a reddish hue. like Aldebaran, in the
Bull. They are at work measuring
AIdebaran now.
Our sun s. atmosphere consists of
flaming hydrogen heavily charged
with glowing vapors of metals, such
as iron, tin, zinc, aluminium, sodium,
titanium etc. Vega is such a bright
sun that it shows almost nothing but
pure hydrogen; the metals in It's in
terror have not yet begun to manifest
themselves much. If the earth were
represented by pea, our sun would
make a ball two feet in diameter. On
this basis Vega would be about IA
feet in diameter, Arcturus would be
As feet, and Betelguese would be 700
f?.t. So you can see that our sun
Is rather small potatoes, though it
can make things hot for us when it
wants to. h

War. OFFICIALS
ARE UNDER PROBE
Wilson Men Next On Slate
In Investigation Of AL
legged Frauds.
BY Cole +. Morgan.

Washington, June 23.-Two high
officials of the Wilson administra-
ton will be the next ones proceeded
againsts according to plans of the De-
partment of Justices war fraud in
vestigators.
1t is known that the department
has completed the preparation OF
cases against these officials and their
associates involving numerous trans
action running into millions in which
gross frauds, conspiracies and irregu-
larities are alleged to have been
practiced. The preparation of these
cas.s has been in progress for weeks
with large force of special agents of
the Bureau of Invetigation gathering
evidence and special attorneys whip
ping it into shape for grand jury &C
ton.
At the same time those against
whom the government is prepared to
proceed have bean at work preparing
for their defense, assembling evidence
to controvart the governments anti
cipated accusations and arranging to
retain some of the ablest legal talent
to be had in Washington.
The principals in these cases are
themselves lawyers who have attain
ed high rank. One is now practicing
in Washington and the other in New
York.
Strong influences in both Repub-
ican and Democratic party circles
have been brought to bear. it is I'M
derstood, to halt these cases, but the
department has turned deaf ear to
all Suggestions that they be dropped.
An attorney who stands high in
Republican councils and is known
turnout the country for his ability as
a pleader, is reported to have been
approached to accept a retainer &c
represent at last one of these princi'
nails. Before giving his answer he Ii
said to have undertaken private in
yestigation at the Department Of JUS
tice on his own account, with the re-
suit that he declined to become
identified with the defense.

WASHINGTON. Nov 4.-Congress
will remain Republican this year. The
momentum the Republican party
achieved in 1920 will carry it success
fully through the coming elections.
The dissatisfaction with the Harding
administration and congress is partly
offset by the fact that the Democratic
party has offered no constructive alterna-
tive.
There are in fact no issues to awaken
the voter in California to the same
sense of interest as the voter in Massa-
chusetts.
The entire political situation is local

politician who argues that the tariff will
not be source of great worry to the
Republican party in 1924. 1t Is so
complex a question that the side which
has 70 defend q tariff is always at dis
advantage against the fiaw-picking often
siye of the opposite party. Undoubtedly
certain states have been helped already
by the tariff and wages have been in
creased in localities where the manufac-
turers feel secure IN raising their own
prices to consumers. The farmers are
hoping the tariff will help them and
they wonder why it isn't of avail today,
But farm prices are low and the farmer
finds a rising cost of things he is buying.
Most of the agricultural states are nor
mally Republican. Their protest against
low farm prices and bad economic condl-
tons was expressed in the primaries.
The feeling against the Harding admin
istration in some of these states is bitter.
1t is not as bad today as it was six
months ago and the Harding followers
are hoping the improvement will con-
tinue. But unless all signs fail the ia
nous farm bloc Will be more powerful IN
the next congress and kick up greater
fuss than it ever did before The farmer
feels that he has been patted on the
back but not helped. He wants some
thing more than promises. He wants n
definite system of agricultural finance
that viii put him on a parity in the
money market with the manufacturer
and the producer elsewhere. He wants
lower freight rates. He IS against a
ship subsidy. not because he has thought
it out carefully but because he objects 20
anything being done until he is taken
care of first.
Low Prices Anger Farmers.
| Crops have been good but prices have

Seething with insurgency. Relatively

I the signs of normalcy are beginning "a
shine, where confidence in the future is
being gradually substituted for the uncer-
tainty of a year ago. Except for the
! agricultural belt the discomfort is not
widespread. Politically, however, il is
no eNaggeration to say that the records

to develop a mood of Impotence that will
ultimately demand a change.
