The Life of the sun


The reason why the sun retains its
heat in spite of the quantity that it
gives out is explained by the fact that
heat is generated by the fall of parti-
cles toward It's center. The diameter
Of the sun diminishes annually by $50
meters, little more than the ten mil
lionth part of its total.
According to estimates made, thirty
thousand years will pass before the
solar radius diminishes enough to pro
duce an effect appreciate by the most
delicate always suppos-
Ing that the astronomical instruments
of the future will be similar to the
instruments of the present. By like
calculations it is estimated that the
run will send heat to the earth be-
tween six millions and eight millions
Of years longer.
Radium, which emits heat spontan-
eously and without cessation, is pres
ent in the sun. One gram OF radium
frees enough heat in one hour to raise
a grain of water from the temperature
Of ice to the temperature Of boiling
water. Hence the presence OF this ele-
ment assists in the preservation of the
SUMS heat. The spectroscope reveals
great quantities of helium in the sun;
quantities great in proportion to the
sEn's other elements. The presence OF
hellum is due to the disaggregatlon OF
radium. Two grams of radium per ton
o. the suns elements would be enough
for the entire regeneration OF all the
heat ever lost by the sun.

Typewriter Taboo.

Paris, April 13.-If you are a gentle
man you will not write letters to a
lady on a typewriter.
So says Andre de Fouquieres, su.
preme arbiter of male elegance in
France.
Between men," says Andre. "even
personal letters may be written on a
typewriter. But when writing to a
woman pen and ink only should be
used.
''Typewriting is a stark thing, with
out life or soulfulness. Handwriting
on the other hand, breathes the very
individuality of the writer. 1t is
something tangible OF and from him
1t is personal-the next best thing
to hearing him speak.
"And then the typewriter. by in.
creasing the speed and facility of
thought, tempts one to artificiality.
The very mechanical motion of press
ing the keys destroys in part the
sensitiveness of the thought that is
being set down."

Greater Demand
for Oats Seen
by US. Expert
Carry Over Likely to Be Small
and 7 Per Cent Planting
Increase Expected.

Lincoln, April 13-The carry-over
Of oats this year will be small. II
consumption continues at the present
rate. in spite of somewhat larger
stocks March /, A. L. Anderson, head
of the federal crops and livestock
estimates bureau. said in his third
Of weeks series of crop surveys.
A 7 per cent increase in planting
intentions is shown in the govern
ment's survey. 1t declares that In
creased demand for oats is probable.
The remainder of the survey issued
by Mr.. Anderson follows:
THE plan to increase oats Z per
cent seems to be in harmony with
the increase in dairy cows. Further.
more. the trend of oats acreage has
been upward for the last Is years
The consumption Of the crop to date
has been much larger than last year
and IL 1t continues at the same rate
the carry.over is apt to be small.
Lots Of Winter Killed Oats.
much OF the oats In southeastern
states have winter killed badly The
planting survey as of February Is
indicated a decrease of IA per cent
II Is doubtful IL spring planting will
replace this. Both tho 1922 and 1928
acreages were low compared with the
acreage seemingly required for the
increase of livestock. In 1928 the
acreage in north Atlantic and in the
"a et p0rf n. .caufra1 cfatas xra. ,Ii1b tty
low. In the west.north-central and In
south-centra1 states the acreage has
fallen considerably behind the in
crease in livestock and the increase
OF 8 per cent and 20 per cent for
these regions seemed to be justified.
Last year world production Of oats
was the largest of any year since
the war and about 250.000. 900 bushels
more than the pre.war average. For.
eign demand for oats Is being re-
duced gradually. due to recovery of
agricultural industry In those coun.
tries.
Increase Proper.
I'm conclusion, 1t appears that the
intended increase In acreage OF oats
seems proper. In view OF the increased
livestock production. particularly
dairying. Not only has there been
a gradual upward trend in acreage
for several years. but certain sections
have fallen below the feeding require
