KEEP ROAD LIGHT
Protests of Finley Residents Prevail
with County Commissioners

In response to vigorous protests
from large number of Valley tax
payers the county commissioners this
week voted to continue the electric
light at the s., P. & S. railroad cross
ing at Finley.
At their February meeting the COM
missioners ordered the light discon-
tinued~on the grounds that it was the
only crossing light maintained by the
county and if it was justified possibly
others were. Residents of the Finley
district however, argued that they
were willing to have the cost Of the
light deducted from the road money
allotted to their district and the COM
missioners granted the validity of this
argument.

HOW MANY WAFFLES?
Business Gils Put Waffle Day Over
at HoOper's with Big Bang

How many waffles at two-bits per
can be bought for $110? Answer this
question and you know how many
waffles the Business Girls cooked and
served at Hooper's Saturday. The
girls plugged in" on their electric
wafflers early Saturday morning and
they were given no opportunity to
"plug out" until well after dark.
In fact, Waffle Day was novel
idea and great success. It succeed
ed far beyond expectations and the
Girls feel deeply indebted, not only
to the general public for its splendid
patronage, but to the Hoopers, the
Kennewick housewives and others who
so generously assisted them.

PERFECTS RADIOMETER
MEASURING STAR Heat
Instrument Will Detect
Warmth Even to the
Millionth Degree

Washington, Nov. 6--Using a radio
meter based on the same principle as
the little toy of black and silver vanes
which revolves in the opticians win
dow. DR.. c. G. Abbott of the Smith
sonian Institution, has succeeded In
measuring the heat of the stars to the
hundred millionth degree.
The experiments. which were car
ried on at Mount Wilson, CAL, with
the aid of the great 100-inch refiec-
tor there, began in July and the re-
suits are regarded by Smithsonian Of
ficials here as of the highest import
ance to scientists.
Nine stars were observed, Rigei,
Vega, Sirius, Capella, Procyon. Aide
baran, Betelgeuse, Alpha. Herculis
and Beta Pegasi. representing the
principal types from the blue down
to the very red ones.
Astronomers have a very definite
impression" said a statement at the
institution, based on other kinds of
studies. as to what sort of results
might be expected from these heat
spectrum investigations. But the out
come proved great surprise. For
instance, Vega and Sirius are classed
together as both blue-white hydrogen
stars, with few lines showing In their
Photographic spectra and both sup
posedly nearly twice as hot as the
sun.
Judge OF the astonishment Of the
Mount Wilson observers to find Vega
showing its maximum spectral heat
great way further toward the violet
than Sirius, whose maximum heat is
not very much nearer the violet than
that of our sun. still more remark
able Is Rigel. for II shows two max
ina. One occurs. as expected. quite
as far toward the violet as that OF
Vega. But the other, the greater
one, occurs very near that OF the
SUM-"
The new study, astronomers believe,
will give a lever TO attack the diff
cult task OF learning the physical ma
ture of the stars. although II was said
that although the present device can
measure one.hundredth millionth of
a degree, the instrument for next
years work must be able TO measure
a bilionth of degree or better.
The instrument used, known as the
Nichols radiometer. consists OF two
vanes suspended by a thread of two |
