planet Jupiter has become one
OF the most interesting OF as
Economical pursuits.
Jupiter. greatest OF the planets,
is nearly 400 100000 miles from
the earth. II Is over 1000 times
larger than the earth. and, al.

in less than 10 hours.

Foolina the 10000

T>HERE Is something glotesquely hum
i orouS in the seven-column confession
given to the New York Times by Edward
L. Doheny in advance of his coming Grim
inal trial He ''confesSeS" now that his
secret capture Of the navy's oil lands was
dictated by the purest, most fearful pa
triotism. He repudiates his earlier con-
fession that he expected to make $780,
100000 out of the deal.
Doheny's new posture is so outrageous
~ absurd that it takes care of itself-in
the case of those people who read the
whole seven columns.
But only one person in one hundred
thousand will read that long yarn. The
greater part of the public will rely on
brief summaries and editorial interpreta-
tons. What this means is illustrated by
the manner in which the Chicago Tribune
and the Philadelphia Public Ledger dis
cuss the case. The first solemnly takes up
the tale of patriotism where the oil mag
nate lays it down and recites grave
threats of war in the Pacific at the time
Doheny and Fall were making their secret
arrangements. In other words, the Trib-
une seeks to put the stamp of validity on
Doheny's amazing defense.
Cyrus H. X. Curtis Public Ledger goes
even further. After repeating, as fact
various of Doheny's new assertions, this
newspaper declares: IF Mr. Doheny is
right, then there must be q recasting Of
the governments case. If he is right,
then the oil scandal was a fake. 1t will
collapse like punctured balloon and a
good many political regulations with it"
These two newspapers calmly ignore

Jardine and the Wheat "a

'fE>ARMERS in this section of the cCun-
J. try are particularly interested IN
the violent fluctuations of grain prices
during recent months" Secretary of Agri-
culture Jardine told the farmers of North
Dakota in Fourth of July speech.
During the investigation carried on by
the department of agriculture TO determine
the causes of these disastrous price
changes | made certain suggestions to
representatives of the Chicago Board of
Trade and called upon them to consider
constructive measures to prevent a SIM
liar situation in the future.
IF they fail voluntarily to take appro-
pirate action it is my purpose to exercise
to the fullest extent such power as the
existing law gives me to require them to
do so.
The secretary clearly implies that eX-
listing laws have been disregarded; that
the fluctuations were possible only be-
cause of such disregard. And yet he
merely threatens, mildly, to enforce the
law If the board of trade does not put its
own house in order.
Why the delay? Why not exercise to
the fullest extent" the law as it stands
without waiting for the board of trade to
take its own good time to comply
There are two easy answers.
First, to prosecute the men who pune
tured the Standardization without reveal
ing the department of agriculture in the
act of pumping up the balloon during the
last presidential campaign might prove
very difficult.
And. second. the men who punctured
the balloon broke no existing laws.

Your Car Is Needed

THoSE who are planning the big
i Knights Templar convention for July
% TO 81 are having difficulty in getting
the required number of autos donated
for handling the delegates. Fifty thou
sand or more knights will be on deck
when the convention opens. That means
that 5000 cars will be required to show
these visitors the city as they ought to
see it.
It's not a Job for MasonS alone. It's
a job for us all. r. j. Scofield, chairman
of the committee in charge of obtaining
autos, reports that the Knights of Co
lumbus have come to the front with the
promise of 100 cars. Other organizations
also are aiding. But the individual citl-
zens are slow to answer the appeal.
Only about 500 automobiles have been
promised to date Ten times that many
are needed. If YOU can spare YOURS
for one week, one day, or only one eve
ming, get in touch with Harold Stewart
of the committee, either at his office at
40S Collins building or by telephoning
MAin-5530.
Put your shoulder to the wheel, and
let's all help to send the Knights Templar
along singing the praises of Seattle.
Do it today. Plans such as these must
be made in advance.

ADVENTURE SURPRISED
TO READ OF HIS "DEATH"
Richard Halliburton, Princeton
Grad, Admits Failure to Swim
Hellespont, However.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATHENS, September 26-Richard
Halliburton of Memphis, Tenn, and
Princeton graduate, was surprised,
to say the least, when reports reached
him from America recently that he
had been drowned trying to emulate
Leander Of Abydos by swimming
from that place, on the Asiastic shore
of the Hellespont, to Sestos, on the
European side.
Shown an American newspaper
clipping which said friends feared
he had been drowned, Halliburton ad-
mitted he made an unsuccessful at
tempt last month TO perform the feat
which Leander accomplished nightly
to visit his lady love, but was happy
over a recent success in climbing
Mount Olympus. Previous to his un-
successful swim Halliburton swan
the 4-mile strait starting from the
European side, a feat accomplished
by Lord Byron more than 100 years
ago, but failed on the reverse jour-
ney.
Halliburton, Princeton class of '21.
has sought adventure in several parts
of the world. In January, 1928, he
made a Midwinter ascent Of Full
Yama, Japan, alone, a feat accom-
plished by only one or two men be-
fore him.

ALBION ENDORSES
MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Would Help Make Washing
ton a Production Center,
Opera Director Says.

The possibility of Washington be-
coming the great producing center to
which American musicians may come
to launch their works was discussed
Yesterday by Edouard Albion, gen.
eral manager of the Washington
Opera Company, in outlining plans he
has for cooperation in the staging
of a great festival of music in this
city next May as outlined by Com
missioner Rudolph in statement
Some time ago.
With the appointment of a COM
mittee of 200, which, it is understood,
is intended in the next week or SO,
Mr.. Albion will be ready to outline
for the production of two and posi-
bly, three operas during the festival
If such proposal should meet approval.
First, he desires to produce an In
dian opera, written by one of the
foremost composers, an opera so far
never produced but which is declared
by those hearing it in private to be
the greatest work of the composer
The cast of this opera. as well as the
cast of any other to be given, would
be entirely American.
Proposes Outdoor Opera.
The Sylvan Theater is believed to
be almost ideal for the production of
an Indian opera. as the natural set
ting would give just the required at
mosphere for such a story. Should
the Sylvan Theater be used. the opera
there would inaugurate something
new in this city-the outdoor produc-
ton of opera.
Mr.. Albion believes that his COM
pany and the May festival could serve
no greater purpose than to foster
American music and American must
clans. He believes the folk songs of
this country offer as excellent mate
rial for grand opera as those of any
'other country, and that the talent
available in America is sufficiently
gifted, If developed, to put American
music on par with the best any
where in the world

Rehearsals of his company are to
