You know the story of the old Prussian King chasing the
small boys with his cane getting them in corner AND
striking them with his and saying II will make you

He was very angry that they away when they saw
him, as that showed lack of affection
Some good and Wemeanng ladies of Paterson New JERSEY
seem to have borrowed idea from the Prussian King
They going to make everybody Paterson patriotic
even II they have to use VIOLENCE to do it.
1t seems that sometimes when procession goes along car
yng an American flag people the sidewalks fail to
take their hats off.
is pleasant custom undoubtedly off your hat
when the flag although there occasions when the
great number OF flags in sight would make you look though
you had St. Vitus dance you tried take your hat off to
all of them
Nevertheless the Paterson ladies determined to impan
patriotism in the minds especially of FOREIGNERS Some Of
them it. not American born lacking in respect for
the flag the ladies imagine.
The ladies have decided quite sony that whenever thew
see who fails to take his hat off, sight of the FLAG
they will knock his hat from his head.
Presumably, they hurt the HEAD little while knocking
off the HAT will make the patriotism all the more valuable
The ladies with the patriotic plan be admired for
their energy But it fair to tell them there are two
ways Of nstng patriotism One way perhaps to knock
mans hat off because he won't do what you think he ought
to do. Another way is to act like selfrespecng woman
and be content to set good example without hitting any
body on the head or the hat -

Ty HE case for the Availability
of Mars seems to have been
n considerably strengthened
by various observations and in.
yestigations carried out during
the recent near approach OF that
puzzling planet to the eartn,
Among the most interesting
facts gained are the results re-
ported by Messra. Cobientz and
Lampland from their measure
ments of the radiation from Mars,
made at the Lowell Observatory.
They show that Mars, instead
# being-as some have assumed
AN excessively cold planet, has
temperature quite comparable
With that of the earth. As a
whole, their measurements indi-
cate that the temperature OF the
brightly illuminated surface of
Mars is not unlike that of a cool,
bright day on this earth. with
temperature ranging from de-
grees to Is degrees Centigrade,
or 45 degrees to IS degrees Fahr-
enheit.
As far as temperature is con-
cerned, then. Mars ought to be
a very comfortable and, indeed,
delightful place of abode, not
withstanding its great distance
from the sun. But, Of course,
there are other things besides
temperature to be taken into &C
count.
For instance, the same investi'
gators say that "a large proper
ton of the surface of Mars IS
evidently Saharan - dry and
dusty.
CIearness of Air.
Then, too, the atmosphere of
Mars is relatively thin. A visi-
tor from the earth would probably
have to carry along an ample sup
ply of oxygen or other breathing
material. But simple rarity of
the air should not be fatal OBJ
stacle to the existence of life, since
it is reasonable TO suppose that
that I. could be compensated by
conformable physiological consti-
tuition.
There must, however, be a cor
responding paucity of water on,
Mars. One striking indication OF
this is the relative clearness of
the. Marian atmosphere and the
absence of great cloud blankets
like those with which We are
overlooked during much of the
time. Still, observations of what
appear to be temporarily clouded
areas on Mars are not lacking, to
say nothing of the polar SHOWS.
With regard to the clearness
of the Marian air, Messrs. Cob
lentz and Lampland say: Except
at certain seasons. in comparative
The Washington times., 1924-12-12

; ~ limited regions, the observed
transparency of the atmosphere
is very pronounced, as shown by
the clearness with which the sur
face markings are seen near the
edge of the planets disk.
Our observations are doubtless
concerned chiefly with the radi-
alton emitted by the solid sur
face. In the case of a cloud COW
cred planet like the earth, radia-
ton from the solid surface could
not be so readily observed, owing
to the observation by mist and
cloud, and the absorption of long
wave energy by the water vapor
of the atmosphere But in dry
desert regions the radiation from
the earth's surface should be
readily measured from space"
Solar Radiation.
The question Of albedo comes in
here. By "albedo'' is meant the
proportion of the suns radiation
that is reflected from a planets
surface. 1t varies with the con
stitution OF the surface and other
circumstances. The Lowell OBJ.
servatory observations show that
the albedo of Mars is lower than
that of the earth. Taking the
earth's albedo at AS that Is 10
say As per cent of the solar radia.
ton is reflected 'from the earth,
while SIS per cent is absorbed the
albedo Of Mars is found to be only
one-third as great, viz. 15, so
e that it's surface absorbs per
cent Of the suns radiation. On
this basis, Coblentz and Lamp
land say:
THE intensity OF. the solar rad'il-
ton incident upon the outer at
mosphere of Mars is, near peri.
helion, about 10-19.7 that upon the
EARTH" lSay, for round numbers,
~ "but Mars reflects only Is per
cent /. e., it absorbs more than
one and one-half times as much
of the incident solar energy as the
earth, per unit area. with the sun
near the zenith.
''The albedo Of .15 for Mars Is
mean value. and many Of the
dark regions must reflect even
less than Is per cent. TIL tenn
perature of the solid surface
should. therefore, be expected TO
, rise about as high as the eartils
In fact, with much clearer skies,
and with less air convection, on
Mars the temperature should in
places be considerably higher than
observed on the surface of the
earth"
AS far as this increases the
probability of the existence Of life
on Mars it is cheering news.
Wherever man goes. even in imagi-
nation, he naturally desires to find
his like.

CHAPTER xvI-continued.

The name Of Phyllis Bruce came to
him with almost a shock. He had
been so occupied with his farm and
with Zen that he had thought but little
Of her of late. As he turned the mat
ter over in his mind now he felt that
he had used Phyllis rather shabbily.
Grant lit cigar and sat down to
smoke and think. The matter of
Phyllis needed prompt settlement. 1t
afforded a means to burn his bridges
behind him, and Grant felt that 1t
would be just as well to cut OFF all
possibility of retreat. Fortunately the
situation was one that could be ex-
plalned-to Phyllis.
He had told himself, back in those
days In the East. that II would not be
fair to marry Phyllis Bruce while his
heart was snother's. He had be
IIeved that then; now he knew the
real reason was that he had allowed
himself to hope. against all reason,
that Zen Transley might yet be his.
He had harbored an unworthy desire,
and called 1t virtue: Well-the die
was cast. He had definitely given Zen
up. He would tell Phyllis everything.
That is, everything she needed
to know
1t would be best 10 settle 1t at once
the sooner the better. He went to
his desk and took out writing paper.
He addressed note to Phyllis, pom
dered a minute in 4 great hush in the
storm, and wrote:
"I am sure now. May l come? Den
ulson'
This done he turned to the tele-
phone, hurrylng as one who fears for
the duration of his good resolutions.
He gave the number of Linders
rooms In town; It was likely Linder
had remained in town. but 1t was
question whether the telephone bell
would waken him. He had recollec-
tions of Llnder as a sound sleeper
But even MS this possibility entered
his mind he heard LInder's phlegmatic
voice in his ear.
"Oh. LInder! I'm so glad l got you
I've a message want delivered to Miss
Bruce. Linder? -. Lin
derr'
There was no answer. Nothing but
n hollow empty sound on the wire, as
though 1t led merely into the universe
In general. He tried to call the oper-
ator. but without success. Tile wire
was down.
He turned from It with sense of
acute impatience. Was this an omen
of obstacles to bar him now from
Phyllis Bruce?
Suddenly came a quick knock at the
door; the handle turned. and u
drenched, hatless figure, with dlshev-
eled, wet hair, and white, drawn face
burst in upon him. 1t was Zen

the valley. or the circle of blue sky
above, and her thoughts could rove at
Will without prospect of being inter-
rupted. The road by which she en-
tered the cup was the road by which
any intruder must enter it. 1t was
also, as Zen was suddenly to discover,
the only road by which one could es-
cape.
1t was upon the afternoon when
Truth confronted Dennison Grant in
his furrow that Zen made that discoy-
cry. Her self-imposed tasks com
pleted for the day. she secured the
fruit stains from her hands. changed
her frock, and took the now familiar
trail up to the quarry. "rll be back
in an hour" she told Sarah; I'm go
ing to the quarry just TO loaf and in
vite my SOUL" The quotation was
lost upon Sarah, who took refuge in
her gift Of silence.
At point where the rond rose high
enough to command u view of the sur
rounding valley she stopped and swung
a slow. half-guilty glance to the SOUTH
ward. There, sure enough, was the
plow team of Dennlson Grant, warplng
Its slow shuttle back and forth across
the brown prairie. For long minute
she fed her eyes and her heart; then
resumed her slow course to the quarry,
Inside the great cup she was con-
scious of sense of security.
Zen seated herself In half reclln-
ing position on great slab of rock
and fell into a day-dream. watching
the while with unseeing eyes the pro-
cession of white clouds which drove
across the disc of blue sky above her.
Perhaps 1t was because of the posi.
tion which she had taken, or her un.
conscious study of the sky, that she
caught no hint of the presence of a
man at the point where the road en-.
tered the quarry. From an ambush of
willow scrub he had seen her stop and
survey the fields where Dennison
Grant was at work, and had followed
her stealthily down the trail which led
to her trap. Now he had her.
"How do. Zen7' he said, suddenly
