STARLIGHT HEAT SPECTRUM
Scientist Of Smithsonian institution
Explains How II May es
Determined.

fIy measuring a hundred millionth
degree or temperature and tr'llionth
of IN ampere OF electric current. Or.
C. G. Abbot of the Smithsonian institu-
ton has determined for the first time
the heat spectrum Of starlight. MS he
announced In an address at the Car
negie institution of Washington
Working with the 10O-lnch telescope
ut Mount Wilson observatory this fall.
Doctor Abbot measured the heat ut diff
ferent parts Of the spectrum OF ten
stars and the sun. The rays were dis
persed by a spectroscope in band
similar to the rainbow.
The bright star Capella, which Is
very. similar to our own sun In Its
spectrum, was found TO furnish the
equivalent of one horsepower to an
aren on the earth approximately equal
to the state OF Minnesota. But this
prainineit star Is feeble compared
with our sun. which Is equal TO n
hundred billion Oipellas and sends
down on twenty squire feet heat equal
to a horsepower. On the whole earth
Csue,la's heat equals 500 horsepower,
and as nj, the stars together equal
ZOO Cabellas. this would amount to
one Quarter million horsepower over
the whole earth from the stars alone.

Scottish. Estate. neIna Sold.

Enormous estates In Scotland are
goiug under the hammer, due In many
cases to the tnxes that have followed
the war. As many as BIO square
miles OF forests. grouse moors and
farms. with salmon and trout fishing,
whole rivers and lochs. Islands and
mountains, and comfortable houses
are offered for sale at the present
time, including large part of the
CALIFORNIAN forest. Yacht anchorages
and sea fishing are plentiful.
The briefest statement of the game
bags on some Of the properties, and

fact that, like Scott's "Finnan had

"has a relish of very peculiar and

While Christmas savings clubs orig

The weekly payment system for Lib

Thrift and War Savings stamps and
more or less regular frequent con-
tributions to the war funds got the
average American into the habit Of
putting aside something out of the

FREEDOM FROM

Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them,

Pills and salts give temporary re-

eminent medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way--a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi'
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative
IL cannot grippe. II Is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water 1t Is
harmless and pleasant.

POINTS WAY TO AID
| ARMY RECRUITING
Col. {. w. Tanner Ready to
Assist Reserve Officers in
Enlistment Drive.

Col. T.. w. Tanner, recruiting officer
Of the district of Washington, an
nounced today that he Stands ready
in any way possible" to assist officers
holding commissions in the reserve
corps to secure one recruit for the
Regular Army during the next few
months, as requested by the adjutant
general.
For the benefit of some reserve Of
tlcers who may not be fully, familiar
with all the requirements incident
to enlistment Col. Tanner set forth
the following:
mo applicant under eighteen years
of age can be enlisted under any cir
cumStances.
"A young man between the ages Of
eighteen and twenty-one must pre-
sent written consent from his par
ents, who will also state applicants
age or date of birth. Both parents
should sign, If both are present, but
the written consent OF one is suffi-
cient in the absence of the other. He
cannot enlist If either parent objects.
In case neither parent is living appli-
cant must be informed that he can
not enlist until he has had a guardian
appointed and secures the guardians
written consent.
NO consent is necessary between
Iiic dStS VI w SlllS -Ollo -StIlu lHIl
five. ard any former service man. if
qualified, may be enlisted, verification
of his age. in this case, being taken
from his discharge certificates. In
cast of lost discharge certificate the
recruiting officer will secure a verifi-
cation of service from the adjutant
generals office. which will include a
statement of age. IN case of original
enlistment (no prior servfce) appli-
cant must present proof of age. This
may be either in the form of birth
certificate or the affidavit of two dis
interested witnesses showing appli-
cant to be twenty-one years of age
or over.
IF reserve officers having pro-
spective applicant in view will call up
the local recruiting office. in the old
Ford's Theater building. 500 10th
street northwest Telephone Main
2520, branch 1162, Col Tanner will
send one of his recruiters to inter
view the applicant. have him physi-
cally examined. attend to all the nee
essary paper work, and. If qualified
will enlist him.
This" added Col. Tanner seems
q. very easy way for all reserve Off
GERS to do their Bit In helping to re-
cruit the Army to somewhere near
its authorized strength. And It seems
little enough to ask that each reserve
officer secure only one recruit, par
ticularly in view of the fact that
around 10000 men are due to go out
during the present fiscal year

offer of private employment would
have required either his resignation
from the Army or his transfer to the
Army retired list on his own applica-
tion. He was eligible for retirement
by virtue of his active service of
more than thirty years.
When Col J. +. Bell Corps of En-
gineers. was appointed Engineer Com
missioner of the District in June, Col.
Keller was granted two months leave
of absence by the War Department.
That leave would have expired today,
but at the request of Col. Keller 1t was
extended two months. The effect of
that action is to continue Col. keller's
present status, an officer of the ac-
tive list OF the Army on leave of alb
sence, until October IA next.
At the War Department 1t is said
that Col. Keller has not applied for re-
tirement and has given no official notice
that he intends to do so. The impress
sion is gaining among some of his mill
itary friends in this city that he has
not yet finally concluded to terminate
his active military career and engage in
purely civil pursuits
