of the universe where the spectrum
of the sun forms an infra-red band
there is a strong absorption band of
ozone exactly at the point where the
earth itself sends out rays into space
which could be seen by inhabitants
of another planet. Those are the rays
which, cooling the earth, maintain
the balance of temperature dependant
on the equality of the rays which the
earth sends out and those which it
receives from the sun.
This band of ozone falls precisely
in the only region Of the infra-red,
where otherwise the atmosphere is
transparent to the rays of the sun.
Hence, according to DR.. Abbott. it
seems likely that there is "a depend
euce on the quantities of atmospheric
ozone with the intensity of the suns
heat.
Very delicate apparatus was set up
at Mount Wilson last summer for the
study of this problem. Time did not
permit any actual measurements and
these will be started this summer.
Experiments also will be continued
at Mount Wilson in measuring the
heat of the stars. The method pur-
sued by DIR. Abbot not only affords
a scale for deducing the intensity of
star heat, but also the diameter of
the stars themselves.

Better Business Bureau Official In
dorses Move.

Endorsement of the What 1 think
of Advertising Week" April to II,
planned by the Advertising Club of
Washington, was given today by the
Better Business Bureau, through
Howard Cool, director of the bureau.
"This is an educational move that
will do much to aid the work of this
bureau for truth in advertising" de-
lciared Mr.. Cool.
at is gratifying to the Better Busi-
ness Bureau, organized over four
years ago by the Advertising Club of
Washington, that it can report at this
time that advertising generally war
rants the confidence and belief of the
public" declared Mr.. Cool, who
pointed out that this was substanti-
ated by Investigations of the bureau
during the past month. He points out
one of the reasons for the reliability
of local advertising is that Washing
ton merchants and Washingtonians
themselves were higher in education
land moral breeding than in most
cities of this size.

HEARTY RECEPTION
ACCORDED PAvLOWA
Gifted Dancer and Company
Greeted by Large Crowd at
National.

Anna PavloWa brought large, eX-
cellently trained ballet corps to the
National Theater yesterday after
noon. These admirably trained dane
ers emphasized the utter "incompara-
bleness" of Pavlowa herself. The
audience, that filled the house to ca
pacity in spite of the bad weather
that made many late and postponed
the opening of the performance so
that it did not end till considerable Y
after Z o'clock, proved that it was
the artist herself to whom they paid
homage.
Her one solo dance, "The California
Poppy" by Tschaikowsky, won thun-
dering applause and more recalls than
any other number. Likewise, the
Pavlowa Gavotte, performed in her
traditional costume OF gold-colored
gown and scoop bonnet, with I4au-
rent Novikon as partner, was heart
lily received, even though it was the
finale of a long program. The ga
Vote was substituted for the GlaZou-
nov "Bacchanale."
The opening number was Gla-
zounoy'S orchestral arrangement of
numerous Chopin waltzes and pre-
ludeS, entitled "Chop1nfana. r. These
dances were gracefully done by the
large company of ballet girls and tai
ented youths, Nine. PavloWa and
Novikoff in misty moonlight effect
with white costumes of traditional
ballet style.
Folklore Presentation Charms.
In startling contrast to this pale,
exquisite group was the Enchanted
Bird Princess" ballet, in which a tale
of Russian folklore was presented
with gay, rainbow-hued costumes and
settings, the weired and pIaintive
Russ melodies by Nicholas Tscherep-
nine. Both Novikoff and Oliverof
gave Pavlowa fine support in the
principal dance, while the girls and
men in the group dances were grace
full and performed difficult steps with

DENIAL BY MRS. SUMNER.
Son Is Not Boarder at Hotels, Says
Manager.

Replying to the charges today, Mrs.
Sumner denied that her son either
lives or works at the government
hotels. She said he is a student at
the University Of Maryland lives in
one of the dormatories at College
Park and once in a while comes to
Washington to visit his mother for
a brief week end. In the summer, she
said, he works in Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and DOGS not come home
at all.
AS to the statement that boarders
at the hotels are allowed but two
meals a day, Mrs. Sumner pointed ont
that the dining rooms are always
open and guests may make what use
of them they choose. No discrimi-
nation is. practiced, she asserted, and
the same menus are served to all per-
sons without exception

GREAT FALLS POWER
DEVELOPMENT URGED
Senator Howell Says It Might
Mean Three-Cent Electricity
for Capital
CLAIMS RATE TOO HIGH
District People Pay Twice Right
Price, He Declares.

Development of the Great Falls
power project by the District and
ownership by the public would reduce
the cost of electricity in this city to
a maximum of cents per kilowatt
hour, said Senator Robert B. Howell OF
Nebraska, in an address before the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
tion, in ST. Stephens parish hall last
might. You are paying a maximum
ate of 10 cents per kilowstt hour
twice as much as you ought TO pay
he said.
Senator Howell said that he was not
in favor of public ownership of utili-
ties except as means toward an end.
Public ownership, however, is the
only way in which to regulate rates y
he continued.
He said that in Omaha, Neb., be-
fore the days of public ownership the
cost of putting electricity on the
switchboard was three-quarters of a
cent per kilowatt hour and that at
ing IA cents per kilowatt hour for
electricity. Since public ownership
the cost of electricity to the consumer
has been reduced to 81. cents per
kllowatt. hour, he said.
Reduction in Price.
He told of public ownership of ice
plants and distribution facilities for
ice, which, he said, has reduced the
price of ice to 80 cents a. hundred
or to one-half of the price now paid
for it in this city.
At a short business session a reso-
luton of regret was adopted on the
death of Daniel W. Edelin. The fol-

Local Scientist to Rer,e,u Efforts
To Cook by Heat Caught From Sun
DR.. 4bbOt Will Rebuild
Apparatus Destroyed
By Its O,cn Fire.
viii Also attempt to Meas
ure AmO.nt of OzOne
in atmosphere.

DR.. G. @. Abbot, head of the astro-
physical observatory OF the Smith
sonian Institution here, plans to re-
new this summer experiments in
cooking by the heat of the sun. He
succeeded last year in raising the
oven temperature of the solar cooker
at Mount Wilson, Calf. to 175 de-
grees centigrade, but the very sue
cess of the experiment proved its un-
doing. The apparatus works through
an oil circulating system. This sprung
leaks, soaked the insulating material,
and this, when the high temperature
was reached, caught fire, destroying
the machine. DR.. Abbot plans to re-
build it on an improved scale in the
hope of making it of practical i'm
portance to American households in
some sections of the country. At pres
ent, although high degree of sue
cess has been reached under ideal
conditions. the apparatus would be
too expensive, too involved and too
certain for the average housewife.
Measurements of Ozone.
DIR. Abbot also plans further eI-
periments in measurement of ozone
in the atmosphere. The word "ozone" is
commonly used as practically inter-
changeable with oxygen, but really
is d family blue gaseous substance
one and a half times as dense as oxy-
gen and with an odor like that of
weak chlorine. 1t is formed by the
action of ultraviolet SunrayS upon
oxygen and is practically absent from
the surface of the earth. 1t occurs
very high up in the atmosphere and,
according to DR.. Abbot, it's study may
be of Importance in heat calculations
based on theories of solar radiation.
Methods of determining the quantity
of ozone in the atmosphere by sys-
tenn of photography have been worked
out by two French scientists, thus
making a more detailed study posi-

attends law school, but who gets three
meals a day, while the 1900 young
women, who pay $50 a month for
board. get only two meals, was made
in the House yesterday by Representa-
tive Larsen of Georgia.
He complained that Mrs. Sarah e.
Sumner, superintendent, previously re-
ceived only s2,500, and that the posi-
ton of superintendent of the dor
mitories does not warrant a $1,000
salary; that the food given to the girl
boarders is not wholesome, and that
doctors have so declared; and that the
young women could get better board
for less money elsewhere.
Chairman Madden of the House ap-
propriations committee, Representative
of the appropriation bill under con-
sideration, and Chairman Smell of the
House rules committee, all engaged in
debate with Representative Larsen.
Representative Wood said that such
charges had been investigated, and
that the young man pays the same as
other boarders, that the superintend-
ent has proved efficient. and has
actually saved the government money.
Previously Representative Ben John
son of Kentucky, who was for eight
years chairman of the House District
committee, had charged that the Bal
tiInore and Ohio railroad is seeking
exorbitant profits on the sale of a
portion of the Union station plaza to
the government. He assailed also the
action of the Washington Terminal
authorities in giving a certain fav-
ored taxicab company exclusive priv

out private automobiles from en-

NO EARLY Return
TO GOLD CURRENCY
Eminent British Authority Says,
However, Gold Standard
Must Be Maintained

LONDON, August 1.-THE fate
of the gold standard is so much de-
pendent upon the British monetary
policy, that England is simgl
bound to take the lead in the re-
storation of the worlds monetary
system. 1t is Impossible for Eng
and to wait and see"
This statement was made by Pro
fessor Gustav easel of Stockholm
University, regarded as one of the
greatest authorities on world none
tary conditions, in the course of a
lecture to the Institute Of Bankers.
If the pound sterling, he asserted
were again put on its old gold basis,
the whole world would feel that the
gold standard had regained some
thing of it's old reliability. and the
doubts as to its trustworthiness
would no longer stand in the way
of a return to it.
Yet England, the speaker said,
hesitated to take the decisive step.
There was a general fear in the
public mind in Europe that thCre
was likely to be new rise of
prices in America. He contended
that this doctrine must be rejected
The conclusion must be that some
rise in prices in America was pos
sible, but by no means necessary.
Professor easel SAID il was very
much against the financial interests
of the United States to allow the
value of gold to be seriously de-
pressed by an internal Initiation and
still more by such violet measure
as the prohibition of gold imports,
If the United States really feel
gold imports a nuisance" Professor
easel added, "the easiest and most
natural means to avoid them is TO
do away with the highly protection
ist tariff which prevents Europe
from paying her debts in commodi-
ties. With free trade, America
would get more of useful commod-
ties and less Of non-useful gold
Treasury authorities here are in
cl;ned to believe there will be nc
return to gold currency 1T least be-
fore 1929. 1t is pointed out there
is a new price level since the war,
far more money is in circulation

quirements of a reintroduced golC
