MARS VERY STORMY
Astronomers at Lowell Report
Result of Recent Close
Observation.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. July 14.-Members
of the staff Of Lowell Observatory here
are elated over recent studies Of the
planet Mars which, they assert. bear
out the theories of the late PercivaI
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 eighteen years. Observations
have been In progress for the last five
months each hour of every night that
weather conditions would permit. Hun
dreds of photographs and charts have
been made
The seasons on Mars have the same
significance as on our earth and occur
In the same manner. but are about twice
the length OF our own. according to Drs.
E. c. and v. M. Slipher of the dbserva-
tory staff. A statement by them on the
results of the latest observations fol-
lows:
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 veg
citation in conformity with the view held
by Lowell regarding the seasonal
oranges on the planet.
The large winter cap Of white about
the south pole Of Mars, which for some
months has appeared, to consist of only
mist or cloud covering the south polar
regions Of the planet down to latitude
forty degrees. is now dissipating and
disclosing mantle of snow beneath
The spring season for the southern hem
isphere Is now approaching the season
there at present corresponding to our
March FL. and these changes are charac-
teristic of late winter over the south Of
Mars.
I'm the northern hemisphere autumn
Is arriving and the polar cap there has
already become conspicuous having in
creased rapidly during the last few
Martian nights. On the night of June
~ 1t was observed that when the planets
longitude 265 came into Martian gun
rise, and therefore visible to us, that a
vast area there had dr ring the preceding
night been covered by bright canopy
This bright hood faded off toward the
equator, but was discernible down
nearly to fifty degrees north latitude
and veiled the darker markings of the
northern part of the planet. This event
marked the first really big autumn
storm in the northern hemisphere of
Mars so far this year. On that date
the Martian season corresponded to our
September Is. Early indications of
autumr> made their appearance a month
and half ago at q Martian season
to our late August
These observations have been recorded
on photographs
These conditions and changes oc-
curing in unison with the planets
seasons indicate that conditions are
more analogous to those of the earth
than to any Of the other planets"

HARDING PASSES SENATE'S
TROUBLES BACK TO SENATE

yesterday attaches great deal Of inn
portance to the fact that some of the
Republicans who voted to reject the
committee proposals are candidates
for reelection.
According to the construction placed
on the fact these Senators "are re-
spending to home sentiment. which re-
fleets disapproval Of the tariff measure
in whole or in part
Another feature of the Lenroot re-
volt which made a deep impression
on Senators on both sides Of the cham
ber was the apathetic interest dis
played by the party leaders in the
futile efforts of Senator Smoot, acting
as tariff manager, to obtain the ac-
ceptance of the Finance Committee
recommendations.
The Utah Senator, who resigned the
management Of the tariff bill to Mr..
McCumber to-day, was manifestly at
a disadvantage in the one-sided fight
over the cotton yarn rates. He -four
dered continuously and quickly sue
cumbed to the effective crossf1re of
criticism leveled 'at him by, Senators
Of both parties.
The Democrats find the Republican
generalization very much to their lik-
ing. They are completely satisfied
with the results of their efforts to con-
vince the country that the Republican
tariff bill is unsoupd in principle anu
economics. They are also confident
that they have deeply implanted the
impression in the public mind that the
makeshift tariff measure will result in
an advance In living expenses.
Want to End the Row.
The support they received from Re-
publican Senators who have used the
McCumber tariff bill as a punching bag
oD frequent occasions has naturally
strengthened the Democratic position.
The Democrats are therefore in no
hurry to end the turmoil on that side
of the chamber, although good many
OF them would like to wind UP the
night as speedily as possible and finish
it in the Congressional campaigns.
They undoubtedly would agree to
limit the tariff debate If the bonus and
ship subsidy ogres were removed from
the situation. The bonus is highly
priced weapon in the hands of the
Democrats. 1t is valuable at all times
to swing over the heads Of the Repub-
lican majority whenever a row over
the tariff on that side Of the chamber
provides an opening.
Consequently they will do nothing to
remove the perplexities which con-
front the Republican Leaders until the
latter either have succeeded in enlist
ing the help of the President in re-
moving the bonus and ship subsidy
bills or surrendered to Tho continuous
sniping, the object Of which is to shove
the tariff aside and Bring up the bonus
Whether the President will consent
to come to the help of his party is
matter Of supreme Indifference to the
Democrats. They hope he Tets the
Senate majority stew in it's own
grease" as one of the Democratic
Senators put it tonight.

"These three are significantly inter-
