in the sky. 1t is easy to see why
the ancients named 1t Mars, after
the god Of war.
Secondly, the distance between
the earth and Mars varies because
both planets are revolving around
the sun. When the two planets are
closest together, Mars CLOVIS like a
flaming red lamp hung in the sky.
Brightness Cause Panics
In 1719 1t showed so brightly that
1t caused panics. Wars. terrible
disasters and the end of the world
were predicted at the time.
Mars is the fourth planet in order
from the sun. Mercury being the
first, Venus second and our earth
third. It is about half the size of
our earth, having a diameter Of 4 200
miles.
Mars Is 141 900, 900 miles from the
sun. 1t moves around the sun with
a speed OF fifteen miles per second.
Mars has two moons. But they
are exceptionally small The Diane
ter OF the larger one is only about
forty miles. The smaller one is
about ten miles In diameter.
Some astronomers think Mars may
be inhabited. Others. probably a
larger number. disagree.
Schiamangi. the italian astron-
omer. started the discussion IN 1877
when he announced that he had dis
covered that the surface Of Mars
was covered with a network Of dark
streaks.
He called them "canale.' the Ital-
ian word for channel" but the
word became translated as canals"
and the discussion was on.
Mars appears TO have polar caps
Of snow. The theory advanced by
some astronomers is that Mars be-
ing in a later stage Of development
than the earth. has only a little
water and that In summer when
these polar caps melt. the water is
led through these channels over the
planet for irrigation purposes.
Beds Of Vegetation
They believe that the dark streaks
NA24bAC al iApA AiAt +l4tiliiAEA1 kitktl-
selves but the beds of vegetation
on either side of the actual chan
nels.
Other astronomers believe that
due to its position, Mars doesn't get
enough heat from the sun to raise
its temperature above the freezing
point Of water that the polar caps
are frozen carbon dloxide. that the
planets atmosphere is very thin and
that the clouds observed are dust
clouds and not moisture.
These astronomers say that they
cannot see a system Of channels on
Mars and that the other astrono-
mers are misled in their enthua-
asm.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 28.-France's new
president NJ Doumergue, has taken
an early opportunity of abolishing
custom that grew up during the war.
When Presidents Poincare, Deschanel
and Millerand spoke at banquets. it
became the correct thing for the
audiences to remain standing during
the speeches.
It was only during the war that the
custom of standing while the national
anthem was played became general
in France, and from listening to the
Marseillaise 1t became the usual
thing for the hearers to arise on the
occasion of presidential eloquence.
When NJ Doumergue, presiding at
a banquet given this week by the de-
partmental presidents, arose to speak
the audience arose with him, but he
motioned the people to their seats.
With this act, another precedent in
presidential etiquette was over
thrown.
