LICK OBSERVATORY. Mount Ham
ilton, August 21.-Taking a. slant at
Mars. through the barrel-mouthed
official observatory telescope here, as
that much discussed planet comes
within a paltry 34,640,000 miles OF
mother earth-the nearest it will come
in its present spasm of meandering from
its own celestial fireside-is woefully
lacking in kick to the ordinary layman.
To get a thrill out of such things,
one must be an astronomic savant,
with bent toward highly scientific
six-syllable words, and higher mathe-
matics, that relate mostly to geome-
try and trigonometry. One also must
have trained orbs for. spotting such
things as alleged Martian canals that
might be hair in a telescope, vary
ing atmospheric densities and shift
ing color schemes, which may denote
the scientific solution of any one of
myriad of perplexing astral mysteries.
No Thrill for LaymAn.
To the unlearned and astronomi-
cally unsophisticated low brow, who
just "rubbers" in the remote hope OF
seeing the. mules that pull Marian
canal boats, it is no scenic feast. In
lacking in nerve tingles.
Looking at Mars through regular
astronomers glass" which Is SO feet
long and more than yard at muzzie'
is largely a proposition of seeing red.
For Mars runs mostly to red-a great
big splotch of red-with dashes here
and there of yellow, few -wisps OF
black and an occasional shifting
white.

Martian landscape runs the gamdt
of almost dozen varying. hues.
Where there is yellow it also varies
from ochre t6 German roller canary

building yard-wide telescopes has yet
overcome the ,handicaps Of looking
through a few dozen million miles OF

The first impression on looking at
the red blotch, which astronomers
tell you in advance is Mars. is that
the haze spoils everything. The

overcomes what mans ingenuity has

1t is after the human eye has
proven victorious over the fnterven-

on Mars becomes apparent--alsos that
there are shifting patches of. white

COURT CONTINUES
RECE|VERSH|P CASE
Allows Payment by F. H.
Smith Company While
Hearing Is Pending.

An order continuing until October
8, the hearing of a motion to vacate
the receivership of the Commpnwealth
Finance Corporation of Delaware,
brought by David s. Levy, a stock
holder, was issued. by Justice Hitz of
the District Supreme Court today. All
counsel represented in the case con-
sented to the issuance of the order.
The order stipulates that "the pay
ment of $4,000 by the F. H. Smith
Co. to the Globe Indemnity Co. shall
not be deemed a violation of the in
junction herein. provided. however.
that such payment shall not be
deemed an affirmance, approval, con-
firmation or ratification of the settle
ment agreement between the F. H.
Smith Co. and the Commonwealth
Finance Corporation and the F. H.
Smith Investment Co., dated June s,
1924"
1t was legal wrangle whether
such a payment would constitute con-
tempt of court or provide cause
whereby the stockholders of the Com
monwealth Finance Company might
bring a suit to nullify the transaction
in the future, that held up an agree
ment as to the hearing until October
s Yesterday. IT,.
In the order Justice Hitz recognizes
that doubt existed in the minds of
counsel representing the F. II. Smith
Company and the Globe Indemnity
Company" as to the extent to which
they were bound by the terms of an
injunction previously passed, which
looked toward the conservation of
all resources of the Commonwealth
Finance Corporation, and consequent
ly the order. setting forth the exact
legal status if such transaction was
issued.

Despite the fact that some astron-

SLASH SCHOOL
ITEMS TOMORROW
Commissioners to Resume
Efforts to Hold Budget
to $31,551 SOS.

The public school estimates will
meet their fate on the guillotine to-
morrow morning, when the Board Of
Commissioners resume the task of
slashing the Districts budget for the
next fiscal year to the $31, ,551 sos lin
1t fixed by the Bureau Of the Budget.
Members of the Board of Education
and school authorities will be called
in to witness the shearing process
through which the school estimates
are slated to suffer.
More than 100000 of the $4,000, 900
which the Budget Bureau ordered cut
from the original estimates was de-
leted during the initial pruning to
which the budget was subjected yes
terday. Budgets Of each of the mu-
nicipal departments suffered a cut Of
approximately Is per cent. ~
Reduction Under Is Per Cent.
Commissioner Rudolph explained to-
day that the reduction in the school
estimates will not be quite as large
as Is per cent, although substantial
cut must be made to bring the total
down to the figure set by Gen. Lords
bureau. Nearly 100000 is expected
to be trimmed from the school boards
estimates, Which at the present time
represents about one-third of the
total District budget.
The Commissioners are cognizant of
the needs of the schools, and have
promised to be as lenient as possible.
Virtually all items for new school
buildings. and equipment, it. is be-
lieved, will pass through the. pruning
process unscathed. The reductions
will be made principally In the items
for playground extensions and sites
for future use.
Plans had been made by the Com
missioners to devote some time today
to the work of reducing the esti-
mates, but were prevented, due to q
hearing of the Zoning Commission
and meeting of the Public Utilities
Commission, scheduled this afternoon.
