Actual Measurements of !
Temperature of Planet In

Theories

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Devel-
opment of a PHOTOGRAPHIC film record

about twenty-nine hours while Mars
was closest to the earth has deep.
ened the mystery of the dots and
dashes reported heard at the same
time by widely separated operators
of powerful stations.
G.. Francis jenkins, of Washing
ton inventor of the device, which
he calls the ''radiO-p photo message
continuous transmission machine. :"
was induced by DR.. David Todd, pro-
lessor emeritus of astronomy of AM
herst. and organizer of the interna-
tioanl movement to listen in" for
signals from Mars, to take the rec
ord.
The film, thirty feet long and six
inches wide, diScloses in black and
white, a fairly regular arrangement
of dots and dashes along one side,
but on the other side, at almost
evenly spaced intervals, are curious
ly jumbled groups each taking the
form of crudely drawn face.
Il don't think the results have any
thing to do with Mars says Mr..
Jenkins, quite likely the sounds
recorded are the result of hetero-
dyning, or interference of radio sig
mails.
The film shows a repetition at
intervals of about half hour, Of
what appears to be a mans face.
It's a freak which we can't explain"
DR.. Todd, however, takes a more
serious view of the record. although
admitting he is at a loss to explain
its significance.
I'VE now have a permanent record
which can be studied he points out,
and who knows, until We have
studied it, just what these signals
may have been?"
William f. Friedman, chief of the
code section and chief signal officer
of the army. has been requested by

$39,OOO,OOO Power
Project in Alabama
Authorized by Board

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 81
An order of the Alabama public serv.
ice commission, issued Tuesday,
grants to the Alabama Power com
pany authority to construct on the
TaIlapoosa river the biggest single
hydro-eIectric development project
ever undertaken by private capital
in this state. The project is that
generally known as the Cherokee
Bluffs development. When COM
pleted the cost, including the gen.
Grating system, is estimated at
$50. 600, 900.
Plans for the project call for the
building of six separate dams, a
main dam, $50 feet in height, and
five storage dams, the storage dams
to be erected along the river from
the point where the main dam will
be located, at Cherokee Bluffs. to
the mouth of Crooked creek, dis
lance of about six or eight miles.
The Cherokee Bluffs development
will create a lake which will cover
between 40, 900 and 1000 acres and
will be the largest of it's kind in the
world From l 200 to !, 800 men will
be employed in this work until it is
completed. 1t is expected that the
first electric generating unit will be
in operation sometime during the
fall of 1926

RADIO-PHOTO FILM SHOWS
WEIRD SYMBOLS IN TESTS

The Jenkins device was attached
to a radio receiving set adjusted to
wave lengths of 5000 metres, and
the dots and dasheS are recorded on

NEW RADIO METER
GIVES MARS TEMPERATURE
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 81
The heat problem of the planet Mars
has been successfully attacked by
use of the Coblentz radiometer. an
instrument so delicate that it meas
ures accurately the heat of candle
one hundred miles away, it was re-
Vealed at Lowell Observatory, here.
The measurements of the planet
show an active temperature for Mars
of about eight degrees centigrade, or
fOrty-eight degrees Fahrenheit-in-
ficating the planet is within habit
able limits-and contrary to theOreti-
cal computations that the temporal
ture of Mars is far below the freez-
iRg point of water.
Heat radiation observations of
Mars were conducted at Lowell by
Professor c. O. Lampland of the OBJ
servatory staff, and DR. w. w.
Coblentz, Of the United States bu-
reau of standards, for a long period
prior to proximity of the planet to
earth last Friday midnight
DR.. Coblentz is the inventor of the
radiometer.
THE gist of the extensive series
of measurements on Mars" said
Professor Lampland, 'is that the act
ual heat conditions on the planet. as
revealed by the delicate measuring
instrument, is due to a much higher
temperature of the surface tran de
termined by theoretical calculations,
which methods necessarily involve
imDerfectly known factors in the
computation"
Inc heat measurements through
the radiometer showed:
]. That the equatorial zones are
much warmer than the polar REGIONS
which send out no appreciate
amount of heat
,. The morning side of the planet,
just turning into sunlight is at
lower temperature than the after
noon side which has been longer ex-
posed to the sun s rays.
3. The dark regions are at a high
er temperature than the light ones.
4. The observations bring out the
gradual rise in temperature of the
southern hemisphere where summer
is now advancing.

of this enlargement is undoubtedly
devised also to enlarge profits. But
basically it is all, so far as it is sound
and lasting in accord with changing
methods Of production and devised
to secure economy of production,
volume of production and facility Of

sound. 1t is in response to normal
and natural demand for methods
that fit the requirements Of men

Government Should Help
The proper sphere Of govern
ment in helping toward beneficial
results is to find and furnish infor-
nation, to get art and make known
the facts, to encourage and insist
upon development within industry
Of machinery which will take from
invested wealth its dictatorial power
ever policies of production, employ
ment and public relations. There is
a normal course which must be pur~
sued, just as there always is where
life and its perpetuation are con-
cerned. The government may b,
helpful but it cannot take over the
task, without spelling the whole ef-
fort
The American labor movement
will resist at al times every effort
at governmental coercion, every ef-
fort of government blindly to go
counter to the natural and evolu-
tiOnary forces that are at work where
life has its being and its sustenance.
Labor is concerned with life, while
government too often only sees
formulas.
In this issue there is bound up
the whole contest between govern
mentalism and individual and group
freedom, between free industry and
state socialism. Labor is for free
dom, for the normal rational things,
for the utmost of freedom and full
ness for life and life forces. Let
politicians give heed to these
thoughts -
