Wider Interest in Market During

BOSTON. September 15.-The Com
mercial Bulletin said today:
"A wider interest in wool is reported
in the market this week, with fairly
heavy sales in a few individual cases.
The trade is still spotty, however, and
prices cannot be said to be stabilized
fully. although there seems to be more
uniformity of ideas on value than for
some time past, and 1t is asserted that
manufacturers do not find it at all their
own way in the matter of prices as they
did a short while back.
Reports from London indicate a well
sustained market, with prices generally
firm at opening rates. Liverpool East
India sales have been 5 to 10 per cent
over the previous sales. The Australian
seasou opens Monday at Sydney.

ASTRONOMERS LOOK
 FOR RAGING COMETS.
Discovered Decades Ago Due Tor Rsapparancs in the Skies

Cambridge. Mass, Sept, go, - As
 tEonomsrs are on the watch for two comets. both discovered many decades sEo. which speeding over their rather
 uncertain courses through the skies are about due for reapnearanes,
 One Of these interesting visitors IS Diyieo's Hong period" comet of ist6, ronuisrly known as the Mexican War comet because just on the outbreak of that conflict. il was observed by Pro lessor ". C. Bond. of the Harvard obs Eeryatory. on Feb. %, ist6. frofes- sof n, Di Nieo. of Rome. also found the comet independently with his telescope two days later. and because he officially recorded its coming. his fellow astronomers have given 1t his name.
 Professor Di yico observed his comet Eodson for two months. when it passed from view. II was reckoned that 1t would appear in 16.7i years. with period Of uncertainty of three years. In 1919 it was within 500. .ooo. .ooo miles of the earth, some where between the orbits Of Mars and Jupiter. and the scientists of the skies decided that 1t might appear to them my time between 1921 and 1925. When 1t does come, it will not he visible to "the man in the street." Harvard college observatory officials say. Comets. they explain may at any time be thrown completely out 0 their accustomed course by getting too near tho sun or planet. these bodies acting so as to give the strang- er sort of kick" to one side or the other.
 The second comet that astronomers are on the lookout for this year is that discovered by and named for D'Arrest, who saw 1t from Leipsic June 27, 1851. It returned in 1857. 1870, 1877, 1890. 1897 and 1910. It was due in 1917 but the telescope failed to find it. Astronomical calcu- lations showed that it might be seen. 'by telescope only" on 25 or 30 dates of 1923 but the astronomers of the world who report their discoveries to the Harvard observatory as clear ing house of information, have not picked 1t up as yet.

 The Harvard observatory does not specialize on investigating comets partly because its location does not lend itself to such observations as we'll l as do those of other astronomical stations in the United States and | Europe. In this country, the observa- tories which may be said to make comets a speciality are Lick observa- tory of the University of California, Yerkes at Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and the naval observatory at Wash ington.

 Dr. Frank E. Gilbreth. q consulting engineer of Montelair.

The saving in time 10 students. however. would he only one or the benefits. he said. de- elaring that the increased speed and fiueney which would follow the elim- ination of uncertainty and hesitation would result in much time-saving in business.
 Additional benefits would immedi. ately follow. Dr. Griffith said. start with standardized spelling and the standardizing of other things will come naturally in sequence" The re- lation of the engineer to the problem Is obvious. he held.
 Standardization is naturally the work of the engineer and he should assist the philoiogists to reform spell Ing standards because he has new units, methods and devices for meas- uring that are particularly important in eyaluatlng present and proposed spellings for standardization. Be- cause spelling will be used by count less generations, the present absurd standards of spelling should be re- formed once and for all by measure ment. Spelling should be super-stand- ardized. It behooyes the engineering profession to lead the way, show the method and go to the limit to find the one best way to do work and to standardize the elements of things and methods that will permit the greatest savings of time and the &C., quiring of the greatest quantities of the durable satisfactions of life." Dr. said.
 Some engineers are already mem- bers of the Simplified Spelling board. pr. Giibreth pointed out. He asserted that modern scientific methods, if ap- I ro.II all forms of mental hesitation and waste motion in writing and in type writer operation. This step, he be- ieves, will be the real beginning of a of everything else.

THIEVES IN VIENNA
Too Few Police, Too Many Crooks
 Are City's Woes.

Vienna, Sept. 2o.-Property of vari- ous kinds. worth about 75o milliard crowns, was stolen in Vienna in the first five months of this year. Burg laries have become a mere common occurrence particularly in the busi- ness sections of the city.
 The result of this has been that there are very few valuable goods such as jewelry or fine dry goods shown in the windows. They remain in the safes and store rooms until they are called for and they are only shown when the dealer is convinced of the intentions of the would-be purchasers.
 The police have been unable to stop these thefts owing to their own rapid ly diminishing ranks which is exactly opposite to what is going on in the ranks of the thieves.
