Colossal Blunder
the Editor Of the Times

To the Editor OF The Times
1t is always a colossal blunder for
any convention to mix religion with
politics. The writer. born and reared
a Catholic, quite frequently attends
services in all churches and has come
out feeling better for having attend
ed. Might 1 respectfully suggest
that these ultra theologians of all
creeds are doing the cause of Chris
tianity harm by their extreme or
thodox teachings. They can put
this in their pipes and smoke it.
1t is the height of folly for two
men to put their party above their
country, thereby dead-locking the
convention. 1t is especially won
derful what political influence Mr..
Bryan, the political jinx of the
century has. The country is fast
becoming Disguised with the tao
tics of both the old parties. indie
pendent voters are hoping and pray
ing that some party will rise above
party and bring this country of ours
back to her original mornings.

NEW YORK, July 12.-New York

Now it's the music. The band with
the reputation for creating the most

A band leader with the name OF

Science

Harvesting the ocean tides for
power is being experimental with
and written about more than at any
previous time, although this is a
centuries-old scientific problem.
For several years the sea has fur
nished power for the city of Asbury
Park, n. j. In France rs, 200, 900
francs has been provided by the gov
eminent for the construction of dams
and electrical machinery on the coast
of Brittany where there is a tidal
difference of twenty-five feet. This
project is expected to develop several
thousand horsepower Of electricity,
and to pay for itself in two years.
A project that is the opposite to
this is the form Of the energy used
to develop the power is the plan to
harness the great Volcano Tatio, in
the mountains between Chile and
Bolivia Engineers plan to convert
into electric power the energy devel-
oped by the boiling lakes in Tatio's
depths, and to use it to conquer the
mountains with electric railways.

less night if you know Polaris. the
north star.
Ancient mariners. before the in
vention of the compass. steered
their craft by the north star.
Go outdoors tonight and face
north. Trace an imaginary line
through the pointers. 1t will bring
you directly to a yellowish-white
star Of considerable brightness. This
is Polaris.
Now, if you will watch the Great
Dipper and Polaris for some time.
keeping in mind some reference OBJ
jects on the ground. such as build
ings or trees, you win soon make
an interesting discovery.
The dipper is slowly making a
great circle in the sky, moving in
circle at the center Of which Is
Polaris. The motion Of the dipper
is from east to west. or more ex.
actly, in the opposite direction Of
that in which the hands of the clock
move.
II you make your observations a
few hours apart. you will see that
the Great Dipper has moved over a
wide area Of the sky.
If you notice the other stars, you
will see that they seem to be cir
cling around the north star also It
is Just as though the whole dome Of
the heavens Were turning on an axis
that passed through the north star.
OF course, the dome OF the sky
isn't turning any more than the sun
is moving across the sky, although it
seems to us each day as though the
sun Travelled through the sky from
East to West.
What is really happening is that
the earth is rotating on its axis from
West to East, and just as this motion
makes it appear to us as though the
sun were moving from East 70 West,
so it makes the stars appear to move
from East to West.
Now if you will observe the posi-
ton Of the Great Dipper at a certain
hour tonight and then watch for it
to reach the same position again to-
morrow evening, you will find that it
reaches the same position four min
utes earlier.
1t takes the stars four minutes less
than twenty-four hours to circle the
sky. In other words, the stars are
four minutes fast" each night
AS a result, if you observed the
dipper at the same hour every night
for a year, you would find it moved
ming until at the end of the year it
would be back where it started.
In the spring, the dipper is above
the North star in the early evening.
In the summer, it is to the left Of the
North star, in the autumn below it.,
and in the winter to the right of it.
This second phase of the motion of
the stars is little hard to under
stand at first, but if you will remem-
Der that the earth is circling around
the sun, making one revolution in a
year. you will see why this change
in the stars takes place.
AS we have said, all the stars ap-
pear to move-a the dipper does. 1t
is difficult to find the consultations
unless we keep these motions in
mind. Consequently, before survey
ing the consultations, let us spend
little time seeing how these mo-
tons work out

Who KnOzOs?
By HAL COCHRAN


A man has 9. white or blue shirt
to don. They both have been laun-
dered with care. And yet he can't
tell just which one to put on, though
it matters rot which he may wear.
He'll go tc' a tie rack and gaze
at his ties; in all sorts. of colors
they're dyed. The black or the
brown or TIE green one? He signs!
It's terribly hard to decide.
His tan shoes. are handy and
shined bright ana new. His black
ones are under the bed. To put on
the tan seems the sane thing to do,
but he'll clean up the black ones in
stead.
One suit that he wears has been
out in the rain; the other is pressed
spick and span. He picks out the
first one, which sounds quite insane,
but-isn't that just like a man?
Just why are the men folks so odd
about dress, and why do they fuss
about clothes? 1t makes little differ
ence what's chosen, I.guess. so why
do they ponder? Who knows?
