Tonight.

Scientific data on the stars will

The Application of Interference
Methods to Astronomy"
He will tell of stars that in reality
are suns which are SO far away that
they show no appreciabIe. disc, even in
the most powerful telescopes. The
would reveal such n disc If the diam
eter of the star measured as much
as one-twentieth of = second of arc
and If the atmospheric conditions
were perfect for observation work.
Scientists believe. however. that these
numerous suns could be measured II
a still larger telescope were constructed.
The formation of the image whose
diameter is to be measured is due
to the concentration of the light
waves from the stars at the focus of
the telescope, Such a combination of
light waves can he effected by the
.interferometer" in which the base
line may be much larger than the
diameter of the 100-inch telescope.
The phenomenon of the interference
of light waves will be illustrated and
also the results attained when ap-
piled to astronomical problems, such
as the measurement of double stars
and the diameter of the giant star
Betelgeuse.

him, when he and his party began
their return to Washington after
midnight, a lot of pleasant memories

1t was a diversified day for the
President. Up early. he spent the

addresses that he has planned to
make in his advocacy of American
participation In the world court.
After luncheon with the group or AS

then inspected the new plant or the

LESS RED TAPE DUE.

More Than Activities

More latitude for district managers,
less red tape, and redoubled efforts in
rehabilitation work will result from
the conference OF regional officers in
progress at the Veterans Bureau,
Director Hines said today.
The district managers were unani-
nous. Mr.. Hines said, in deciding that
methods Of supervision OF veterans
being rehabilitated should be modified.
Under plan to be worked out more
time Will be given to the actual prog
ress OF training and less to checking
up and rendering reports on what the
veterans are doing. In many cases,
he said. the paper work had cost the
government more than the expendi-
ture which the records covered.
Greater responsibility for veterans
welfare VIII be placed in the regional
organizations, Mr.. Hines said and the
district managers will be given more
latitude in the adjustment of salaries
JT neld personnel within budget al
lowance. This move, he said, Is ex-
pected to improve the morale and
put the districts on competitive
basis

On the whole, it helped Mr.. Harding
to come here to talk to his fellow

tween employers and bakery sales

bilities for settling the wage dispute,
which is threatening q strike, will
merge into probabilities.
A telegram was received by officials
OF the bakery statesmen today an

PEACHAM, VT, April 25.-This
little town in Caledonia county, FIVE
miles from a railroad, whose popula-
tion Is less than half what it was in
1910, found itself on the map of the
world when Ambassador George Har-
vey, had told the bluebloods Of Eng
land at a banquet in London Monday
night, that Peacham contained no
man, woman or child of other than
English blood.
Since they read this news the few
stores here have been the scene of one

the store court, and Col. Harvey's
speech has been the sole topic OF
heated discussion.

standing, though 1t is probably true
that there is not another town in all
the 24S towns and cities in the state
that is nearer 100 per cent of British

The town was granted charter
by Gov. Benning Wentworth Of New
Hampshire in 1868. The propr1etors
held their first meeting In the Massa-
chusetts town of Hadley year later:

not participate in todays discussions.

DR. d. Percy Hickling. District
alienist. and visiting physician at the

ably typical of the Washington boot
logger of today. A bootlegger ap-
preached customer and solicited his
business. What will you have. old
or new stuff" he asked the prospect"
What do you mean by old or new
stufr?'
why. my old stuff was Yesterday S
run, and the new stuff ] ran off this
morning." the bootlegger answered.
Vile Drinks Sold.
Whatever the facts as to deaths
may be, there is no question among
men charged with enforcing the law
that Washington is being flooded
with intoxicants Of the vilest kind,
tinctured with acids which would
ruin any stomach. While it may be
true that one drink will not harm the
drinker, he is taking long chance
with every drink, with the odds mar
rowing with each one, until one day
he gets some really bad stuff" and
then he drinks no more. On the
other hand. the pathological oondi-
ton of the drinker may put off the
inevitable for months-possibly for
yearS-but in the end there is hardly
a doubt the bootlegger's product will
get him.
The advice of the men who should
know. who have seen in hospitals
the results OF bad booze and have
seen men and women die from al
legged whisky sold by men who care
not Tor the consequences. is to dis
continue its use entirely. A bad cold
may be a good excuse to get a pre-
seription, but it is worth waiting for.

Reinvestment OF the securities

bonds could be made an attractive

Pointing out that Germany would
require credit whatever amount it is
decided she must pay, Mr.. Goode-
nough said that if Great Britain and
America were prepared TO cooperate.
"as a purely commercial proposition" :"
in finding at least portion Of the initial
sums required, satisfactory arrange

He said he felt assured that an
agreement on reparations COULD be
reached and that America and Great
Britain, the two great creditor nations
of the world. could carry the matter
