(235 thousand trillions of miles,
distant, Harlow Shapley, the di-
rector of the Harvard Observatory,
has demonstrated that blue and
yellow light differ in their velocity
through space by less than one
part in 10000 millions. That is
virtually the same thing as say
ing that there is no difference in
the velocity with which light of
different colors travels through

Blue light-waves are consider:

in the ratio Of about 8 to IL, but
together with red (still longer

vibrations which, in combination,
produce the effect known as white

And this company, from the
longest legged red down to the
shortest-legged violet, appears to
keep step so perfectly that after
travelling in serried ranks for

late measurable effects, but 1t
would seem unquestionable that
in a race prolonged over a period
of four hundred centuries any
actual difference must certainly
nile up to a perceptible amount.
This experiment with quickly
varying stars in a star-cluster
serving for signal lights furnishes
another example of the happy
chances that nature affords to
the inuuiring mind of man. An.

Naval Flyers Smash
Four World Records
During Single Flight

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Four-
world records for seaplanes, includ-
ing the endurance and distance rec
ords, were supplanted by new ones
by Lieutenants f. w. Wead and j.
D. Price in a flight which ended
early today when their naval craft
was forced down by engine trouble.
The navy filters, who took the air
from the Anacostia naval air sta
ton here at 1910 p. M, yesterday
in a new type of scouting, bombing
and torped plane, made a sustained
flight of 10 hours and % minutes,
and covered a distance of 1850 kilo-
meters. The present recognized en-
durance record is II hours and 16
minutes. and the distance record
1875 Kilometres.
In addition, the flight smashed the
speed record for both the 500 and
1,000kilometer distances, with an
average of 73.41 miles an hour
against the record of 71.9S miles for
the first, and 74.27 miles against
the record of 70.49 miles, for the
second. Fer the ,500-kilometer dis
lance, a record of 74.17 miles an

capacity, his vision and courage are
the real guarantees of the results
which the people today are seeking
in this country. His nomination is,
therefore, positive necessity and
his election in November will be as
sure as the need for these reforms
are now pronounced in the public
mind.
"And as to the accomplishment of
these two things, McAdoo's nomina-

the Republican platform as it now
stands can never carry the west and
south at the polls in November, was
the declaration of Raymond T. Bak-
er, of Nevada, former director of
the mint, and one of the most en-
thusiastic McAdoo boosters.
"McAdoo outstandingly represents
the progressive thought that will
henccforth shape the affairs of this
government" he declared. There
is no under estimating his strength,
for if the fact that he comes to the
convention with the majority of
delegates pledged for him at the out
set is not sufficient evidence Of his
popularity with the electorate, a
canvass of the country and sounding
out of sentiment in sections where
sentiment is made will convince the
me- st skeptical that the McAdoo can
