Hope to Complete
Report on Highway Com
mission Soon,

State board of accounts examiners
are rushing work on the examina-
ton of the disposal Of war materials
by the State highway commission
in order to complete their report by
end of this month.
The investigation consists, chiefly,
ii is understood, in checking the COM
missions records against those of
the War Department to determine If
possible how the material was dis
posed of by the local commission and
at what prices. M L. Goldberg
Son bought most of the material.
Purchase records of this firm were
subpoenaed by the examiners, but
Victor Goldberg, member of the
partnership. refused to turn over the
sales records.
Meanwhile, firm of public &C
countants is examining the records
Of transactions between the COM
mission and o. F. Schelnsker, auto
parts dealer. who turned $4,000
back to the commission as the result
Of the examiners report on the high
way garage.
They are expected to complete the
audit this week.
Charles Jewett, Schelnsker's attor-
ney. insists the money was merely
deposit to show good faith and was
for the purpose of making such res
titutions as were found to be neces-
sary. An attempt will be made to
recover a part Of it, Jewett says.

VEGETATION ON
MARS IS STUDIED
BYASTRONOMERS
Growth of Dark Areas on
Planet Seen by Lowell
Observers.

written for the United Press)


LOWELL OBSERVATORY. Flag
staff. Ariz., Aug. 20.-Tremendous
growth Of two dark areas near the
equator Of Mars that a month ago
were comparatively faint was noted
in Tuesday nights observations at
Lowell Observatory.
Astronomers here. in conjunction
with others in all parts of the coun-
try, are making nightly observations
of Mars. which this month IS closer
TO the earth than it has been for
several hundred years. Friday the
planet viii be approximately $4,000
600 miles distant.
The regions. studied by the OBJ
servers Tuesday night, have been on
the back Of the planet until the last
few days and therefore were not OBJ
servable in their entirety
Glowing a faint blue green. in
spite Of shimmering atmospheric con-
6etions. which temporarily ham
pered observations, they suggest
what the Lowell School Of Marian
astronomers believes to be possibly
an expanse of vegetation.
100000 Square Miles
On-hand estimates showed their
combined areas to be more than 100
600 square miles. They averaged
about $40 miles across and reached
nearly three-fourths of the way
across the disc of the planet. Scien-
tifcauv the regions are known as
mare sirenum" and mare cimmor-
iunn." The name mare" Latin for
sea" was applied before it vas dis
covered that Mars has no seas or
oceans.
Reduced to more understandable
forms. the combined areas cover
more than zoo. 600 600 acres. This
would raise more than 21,000. 100000
bushels of wheat even if the crops

This is only a fantastic illustra-

Since first noted this year the

increased from about fourteen and

Seasonal Change
On the earth this action brings
about seasonal change causing
growth of vegetation and melting to

It is believed at Lowell observatory
that this probably is what Is taking

regions. the southern Polar snow cap
