China was probably the first coun-
try to have any complete musical sys-
tenn, and this is nearly three Thousand
years before Christ. Confucius, him
self was a great promoter of the
musical efforts of his countrymen, the
interest in which had been steadily
declining since 600 B. c.. Chinese
music differs greatly from ours. For
instance. the Chinese scale descends,
while we think of ours as ascending.
Like many other early peoples. the
Chinese were very fond Of combining
music with politics. Japan, Java,
Siam and Burmah have systems
which are similar to .China's. al
though not so ancient.

To the Editor Of The Times
The time is ripe for considering an
improvement in street lighting Many
of the outlying streets are very dimly
lighted and some dangerous places,
such as Capitol Ave. under the ele-
waited tracks a. the Union Station, are
not illuminated a. all.
Unless absolutely necessary lamp
standards should not be changed, when
an improvement is made in the kind
of light bulbs used as was done here
several years ago. The standard used
at that time was artistic but too ex-
pensive for extensive use. Having re-
placed this with a one bulb standard
we should adhere to it. simply using a
more powerful light.

ELECTIONS
ARE CAUSE
OF X-RA VS.
Waves in Ether Also Are
Set Moving by
Radium.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Science Editor of The Times

X-Rays are generated by letting a
stream of electrons strike against a
metal target. AS a result of the i'm
pact of the electrons against the
target, a disturbance is set up in the
atoms composing the target. This dis
turbance causes the generation of the
extremely short waves in space which
have been named X-rays.
The first X-ray tube consisted of a
vacuum tube through which an
electric discharge was allowed to take
place. Since, as we know, an electric
current is a stream Of electrons. the
electric discharge in the Vacuum
tube is merely a rush of electrons
through the tube.
! The tube contained two metal cleo
trodes called the cathode and the
anode
The electrode from which the dis
charge took place was named the
cathode. The target is the anode.
The X-rays originate, therefore, in
the anode.
Tube Complicated
The X-Ray tube most frequently
used today is a more complicated
affair. 1t is known as the Coolidge
tube
Instead of depending upon an
electric discharge for the source Of
stem filament not unlike that in the
ordinary electric light bulb.
This makes use of an interesting
phenomenon first noted by the
American inventor. Thomas Edison,
aid since utilized in the so-calIed
audion tube usd in radio receiving
sets today
This is the fact that when the fila
ment of an electric light bulb reaches
| incandescence it expels electrons from
itself. Scientists have discovered that
/ all incandescent bodies throw off cleo
irons. This is known as the photo
electric effect. 1t is one of the things
now being studied carefully and about
which we shall probably know much
more within the next decade.
It was soon noticed that every
different substance generated X-rays
Of specific wave lengths.
| The specific wave length is known
as the characteristic X-ray Of the ele-
ment.
Definite Relation
| Since Xrays originate in disturb
/ ances within the atom. the arrange
ment Of the electrons in the atoms
must possess a definite relation to the
characteristic X-ray of the substance.
1t is this fact which enables scien.
| lists to understand the arrangement
| OF electrons in the atom.
Moseley. the brilliant young stu
dent, who was killed in the World
War, arrived at his explanation of
atomic arrangement from a study of
characteristic X-rays.
Gamma rays which originate in the
action of radioactive substances are
still shorter than X-rays.
| They are believed to be due to the
disturbances created in the nuclei of
the atoms when the so-called alpha
particles and beta particles are
emitted from the nuclei Of the atoms.

IMPORTANT
Possibility That Vice Presi-
Dental Candidate May Go
10 Mhitnhnncn
to WhitehouSe.
BY LOWELL MELLETT

Every campaign year in America a
lot Of statesmen may be found run
ming for the presidency in the hope
that they may at least land the vice
presidency. This year the reverse is
true. Certain patriots may be found
presently seeking the vice presidency
in the hope that it will turn out to be
the presidency.
The feeling is general that the bust
ness Of selecting a vice president is
more important this year than ordi-
narily. A little of this feeling results
from the fact that the vice president
elected in 1920 did become President
before his term was out The chief
cause for giving thought to the nomi-
nation, however, is the growing belief
that election of the President by Con-
gress, is not an altogether remote
contingency. If the election should
be thrown into the House and the
House proves unable to elect-as
seems not unlikely, on paper-then
the vice president, chosen by the Sen
ate, becomes President And the SEN
ate in choosing must take one Of the
party candidates-not just anybody it
may like. SO, the vice presidential
nominee at Cleveland or at New York
may become President without the
death of a President.
Strong Man Sought
Among Republican politicians the
matter is being discussed great deal.
They want strong running mate for
Calvin Coolidge. as we'll as a man that
will appeal to all possible Republican
votes in the Senate, il the election
should land there.
Names discussed include: Fopmer
Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois,
Senator Watson and Senator Bev.
ertdge of Indiana. Senator Capper Of
Kansas. Governor Dixon of Montana.
Governor Hyde Of Missouri. Governor
Morrow of Kentucky. Senator Willis
Of Ohio, Secretary Work of the De.
partment Of the Interior Charles G..
Dawes of Chicago. and General John
j. Pershing. OF these, none is being
talked about by so many people az
former Governor Iowden. Second.
perhaps. is Charles c. Dawes but the
ieANNNA ~ a NAc9F Al4tAAi Va Low Qt-ll ana,
it is believed would not allow his name
to be used il he thought Lowden de-
sired the place.
LOwden Possibility
The report is that Lowden would &C
cept the place readily. Following his
defeat for the presidential nomination
four years ago. Lowden withdrew from
all connection with public affairs for
some time. declining a diplomatic ap-
pointment by President Harding. as
well as a cabinet berth. This was due
TO the Illness of his wife's mother,
which kept himself and Mrs. Lowden
In close attendance upon her. Her
death has since occurred and Lowden
is said again to Jock favorably on off,
cial life in Washington.
In the past year Lowden has in.
creased his already large acquaint-
ance in the West and Middle West by
a great many speaking trips. These
mostly have been to farmers and live
stock breeders gatherings. He is "A
farmer on a large scale himself. II
is anticipated that much of the for
midable organization built up for his
presidential candidacy in 1920 will be
available for his lesser ambition, II he
desires to use It.

WHEAT MARKET IS UNSETTLED Unfavorable Crop COndi-
 tions In Canada Have Bullish Effect

CHICAGO, July 2-Unfavorable crop conditions in the Canadian north west had distinctly bullish effect to- day on the wheat market here. Large ly as a result, Chicago closing prices for wheat were unsettled, 1s-cent to %- cent net higher, September. $1.16A to 1.17 and December, $1.19B to 1.20. Corn finished at B-cent net lower to 1-cent gain, oats, % cent to 114 down and provisions ranging from 2 cents decline to ( cents advance.
 Sharp upturns in quota tions from Winnipeg and Liverpool were taken as chiefly refleeting news of hot, dry weather in Canada, where rain was much needed. In this connection, talk was current that the Canadian yield might be greatly reduced as compared with the output last year. Bullish Eu- ropean crop estimates and unusual strength of Argentine markets were also a subject of comment, and so were reports from the Dakotas indicating spread of the Hessian fly. On the other hand, weakness of corn and oats today counted at times as weight on the wheat market.
 Improved weather tended to ease down prices of the more distant de- liveries of corn. July delivery, how ever, continued in demand owing to smallness of receipts.
 Oats were depressed by reports that Canadian oats. duty paid, were of fered in New England at cents un- der oats from Chicago.
 Some investment buying of lard gave firmness to the provision market.
