FINDS RADIO WAVE
SLOWER THAN LIGHT
Navy Astronomer Offers an
Amazing New Theory.

San Francisco, Cal.-The discovery
that the radio wave travels slower
than light was announced by Capt.
]. ]. See, professor of mathematics
In the United States navy, government
astronomer at Mare Island navy yard,
and well known authority on the
theory of ether.
According to Captain See the radio
wave travels around the globe with q
velocity of 165,OO0 miles second.
while light travels $4,000. Captain
See considers that his discovery in
the velocity Of the propagation Of the
radio wave about the earth may prove
the most notable step In the develop
ment Of the wave theory since Roe
mer's original discovery Of the velocity
of light In 1875.
Outline Of Theory.
An outline of the chief conclusions
communicated to the London Times Is
condensed below:
al. The mean velocity Of the wire
less wave was found to be about 17S,.
600 miles per second. This figure 10
about 1900 miles per second less than
that Of light, but ten years ago we did
not suspect the cause.
'2 In March last a wireless signal
was sent from the sending station near
New York to Warsaw, Poland. and re-
fiected back In 0!054 Of a second Of
time. The double distance Is $500
miles, and the transmission comes out
about $4,000 miles per second.
SO. The mean Of the two independ-
ent determinations Of the wireless
wave Is 185,5OO miles per second.
Phenomenon Is Explained.
81. What is the cause of thisf
The aetheron or particle Of ether is
only one-four thOusandth part as
large in diameter as the hydrogen
molecule, so that compared to ordi-
nary molecules of the size of oranges
the aetherons would be like smoke
from cigar, and moving with a We
locity Of $4,000 miles per second.
The wave travels through the solid
earth as well as through the air and
free space above the air. but is much
resisted In the solid globe. AS the
ether Is 1921, 10000 times more
elastic than air In proportion to Its
density-thus almost infinitely elastic
the medium cannot suffer break in
Its continuity. yet the movement above
the earth Is held back by the slower
movement of the wave In the earth.
The resistance in the globe thus acts
as a drag on the wave at Its base.
The result Is that the wave bends
around the earth, as long known yet
heretofore not generally understood.
IS. This bending is quite analogous
to the change Of form Of water waves
as they run ashore-the top Of the
wave gains on the base.
THE results are Of interest in con-
nection with the wave theory Of mag
netism and the cause Of universal
gravitation, because they bear on the
cause Of the fluctuation of the moons
mean motion"

Scientist Says He
Has Weighed Atom

Paris.-The analysis Of the
atom, for which scientists have
been searching vainly for years,
has been achieved, according to
an announcement by Prof.
Camille Matignon to the Society
of Industrial Chemistry.
Although the carbohic atom
weighs a biliionth billionth Of
one hundredth Of a milligram
and Is ten billion times smaller
than the smallest object per-
ceivabie through a microscope.
Matignon showed that 1t was
possible not only to weigh II but
to analyze It's constituents by a
process of "ionizing."
) Through this process, the
atoms are charged with cleo
tricty, which accelerates the
. speed at which they revolve,
thereby permitting an analysis
. of comparative calculations OF
. their speed with respect to their
; weight.
The Importance Of the dis
. covery Is that possession Of the
tiniest particle of any substance
now permits correct analysis of
the whole. In such way Ma
tignon analysed a cubic cent?
meter Of air, proving that II con-
tained one millionth Of a cubic
: centimeter Of helium.

PARCO OILCANS
BEAT OUT u. P.
In 4-3 TUSSLE

Before a crowd of more than
200 bowling rooters, a tight, pretty
game of baseball between Parco's
rolling oilcans and the crack Union
Pacific team from the Rawlins
shops was fought to a 4-3 finish,
with the refinery lads uppermost,
last Sunday at Parco field.
Pitching was OF a very high order
thruout, but the deciding factor in
this first big game was the support
ing teamwork behind Gill and
Spangler, the opposing hurlers.
This game started with a neat
little earned run for Parco in the
first. Followed another in the fifth.
When the dust had settled after a
hot and heavy-hitting rally by the
Rawlins boys in the crucial sixth,
however, U. P. led, 80. The seventh
looks dead in the score column, but

Complete motorization of the
Parco fire department, installation
of a complete foamite system for
fighting oil fires, and fitting out a
new and larger fire station, are some
of the salient features of a compre-
hensive safety program to be carried
out Immediately for the benefit of
Parco community and Parco re-
finery.
The former officials P. & r Buick
Is now being rebuilt into a III ton
combination hose and chemical
truck. This unit Of apparatus will
carry the nucleus Of the fire fighters
personnel, and will also be the main
unit Of their motor fleet. Running
board space for six men. quick
action reels holding six hundred feet
of water and chemical hose, and
two f%orty-gallon tanks for chemicals
are among the items of equipment
to be carried.
New Ford truck is now being OBJ
tanned for use in the Parco town
site. This piece of equipment will
be a combination hose and chemical
fire truck. Carrying a moderate
sized chemical tank to cope with any
ordinary fire at the townsite, 1t pro-
vides protection. And on top OF this
protection this truck will also carry
a full eel Of new hose to enable the
moe effective double attack" OF
gas and water t ODE brought into
play.
Third among the units OF new
motorized fire equipment now de-
cided upon is a One-ton motor pump
of standard design, mounted on a
new Ford ton truck. This big pump

will furnish water pressure sufficient
to cope with all emergencies. These
three units, refinery truck, townsite
truck, and motor pumper, comprise
the new motorized fleet as at present
being organized.
One hundred thousand dollars will
be spent for the installation OF a
complete system Of f1refoam tanks,
pumps, and lines safeguarding each
tank and still at Parca, according to
a rough estimate made by a Parco
official. Several men are now work
ing at this construction project.
Seven mixing chambers are now in
stalled on the big oil storage tanks.
More follow daily. The complete
firefoam installation will consist of
two large storage tanks for the sep
arate foam solutions, a huge double
action pump for the emergency Of
filling the double lines to the tanks
in case of fire, lines and values for
controlling the flow of the foam
chemicals to the mixing chambers
on the tanks where the attack prop
err on the fire will start, and finally
extra apparatus in case of break
down.
Third in the list of enterprises
which are expected to bring the fire
department to a high pitch of ef-
ficiency Is the erection of a new
fire station, for the big Buick COM
bination truck and the various hose
and chemical carts. This building
Is already prepared for the use of
the fire chief and his men.
The whole program of enlarge
ment is now under way. Summer is
expected to see this work finished.

ParcO VS.. Hanna
At Hanna Sunday

Traditional from last year is the
rivalry of Hanna's well-organized
diamond experts and Parco's "Oil-
cans" for the Carbon County cham
pionship. This year several other
fast outfits are in the running and
with the advent Of the Carbon
County League competition becomes
hot.
But the old sportsmanlike rivalry
remains.
Next Sunday at three O'Clock at
Hanna, the first game of the season
between these ancient rivals is on.
Parco has shown strength in Its two
games with the Pen and with the
U. p. team. The game is Hanna's
opener.

FOLKS, when Parco's Diamond Stars-yes we said
il, AMO STARS-put a game on ice the way they
did last Sunday in the last of the eighth, it's an adver-
tisement for our home town. How about sticking with
the team when they make a try for the scalp of Hanna
next Sunday afternoon?
Yes, how about it, Victory depends on the loyal
rooters as much as on the team. Our representatives
at Hanna need our support. They deserve it. They
gave us a treat Sunday, and will give us a treat at
Hanna next Sunday. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO

The least we can do for our team is to shout for it.
For our team, and for ourselves, because what wakes

Cabbage, with market output
of more than 30,0Jc carloads a year,
has become one Of the three most
important, vegetables in the United
States, ranking TO potatoes and
tomatoes. About two.fifths of the
market crop is early southern cab
bage mainly from Florida, Texas,
South Carolina, Virginia and Alaba-

These facts are brought out by
the United States department of
agriculture in a new department
bulletin entitled marketing cab
bage.' Kraut manufacturers take
about one-seventh the commercial
crop, it is said to quantity varying
greatly according to production and

DICED Ham GOOD FOR TOMATO FILLING

With a baked ham in the house,
the housewife is ready for any
emergency. For unexpected guests,
or family meals called for on short
notice, nothing quite takes the place
of this healthful and delicious meat.
A whole ham of average weight
serves sixteen to twenty people.
The usual methods of cooking are
baking or boiling with or without
spinach or cabbage.
To boil ham in the best manner,
soak it in cold water over night,
pour off the water, tie in clean
cloth and cook in boiling water,
allowing twenty minutes to the
pound.
An excellent method of baking
ham is to plunge the ham into boil
ing water for ten minutes and let
simmer slowly for two hours. Then
take out, and remove the skin ex-
cept around the knuckle. Put into
roasting pan with the fat side up
and bake slowly for. one hour, bast-
ing frequently with mixture of 1

which l teaspoon of dry mustard
has been dissolved.
