SUN CUTS UP

The sun, which supplies us with most of our light and
heat, is SOLDERING up again after several weeks ION the war
path" Terrific cyclones took place on the sun during late De-
cember and early January.
These cyclones were visible to astronomers in the form of
''sunspots.'' Some of these spots were larger than our earth.
Astronomers are blaming these solar cyclones for the severe
and disrupted weather experienced recently in various parts
of the earth, including the high gales and torrential rains in
the British Isles and North Atlantic. They may also be re-
sponsible for uncertain weather elsewhere.
The cyclones on the sun are accompanied by rapidly
whirling electrical charges and they belch out new flaming
material on the suns surface, thus increasing its activity.
Some of the torrent of electric projctiles travel out in space
as far as the earth. These probably produce magnetic storms,
says Sir Oliver Lodge.
The activity of the sun rises and falls with regularity in q
period or cycle of II years. 1t has been steadily declining since
1917, has now almost reached bottom. And the recent big
sunspots may be the turning of the tide'-the start of an
other period Of increased activity by the sun.
Like everything elsa period Of rest is inevitable be-
tween periods of activity. Everything is in cycles, contrasts
Henri Deslandres, director of Paris Physical Astronomical
Observatory, says it is now definitely known that rays of great
penetrating power, including X-rays and radiations of high
frequency, are emitted by the sun and stars.
Deslandres suggests that these rays may make the signals
which are picked up occasionally by the wireless and which
have so far baffled the electrical experts.
The radio messages from people on Mars" may be mere
ly %radiations from the sun.
The more scientists study the sun, the more Of a mystery
it seems. Unquestionably it has something to do with regu-
lating our weather. Without it, life on our earth would be
impossible. 1t is the force that apparently has most to do with
perpetuating life, and some even believe it is the source of life.
We can never control the sun, but we can-as times goes
on-learn more about how it controls us. After all. that's
about all that knowledge is-learning more concerning the
cage we're in. We are like ants imprisoned in a gigantis
building, feverishly rushing around inspecting the building.

CITY MANAGER BILL AGAIN

1t will be interesting TO watch the progress Of Assemblyman
paseoe's bill permitting municipalities to adopt the city manager
plan for municipal government, An attempt has been made before
10 secure such legislation, but the bill has always died in COM
miHee. Evidently, the political bosses do not want the cities to be
conducted in a real businesslike way.
The city manager is proving very successful IN other states
where the people are progressive enough TO try it out. The idea is
Tor the people to elect a commission from the city at large, along
the line of the commission form of government, and then this COM
mission. acting as a board Of directors, so to speak, hires a manager
no take over the running Of the city, just as a board of directors of
any corporation will hire a general manager to run its plant.
Politics are ignored entirely, The manager, who is an expert
in municipal affairs, hires men to do the work of the city, just as
the general manager for the corporation hires men to fill the var
ious offices under him. Each man is engaged according to his
qualifications and fitness for the job, and the same care and
economy is used in running the city as is used in running the cor
poration. just as the idea of the corporation is to make money and
ray dividends to its stockholders, so the idea Of the municipality
Is to pay dividends to the taxpayers in the form OF high class ser
vice at the lowest possible rate of taxation.
\ 1t is strange that any legislature should hesitate to pass such
d bill as Assemblyman Pazeoe has introduced, as it is left entirely
opl0nal with the various municipalities whether they adopt the
city manager form Of government or not. Realizing that municipal
is the greatest problem before the American people to-
~ and that the burden Of taxation under existing systems has be
almost unbearable, the people ought not to be denied the
