KANSAS CITY. Mo. December "o.-
The collision of TWO enormous bodleS
hurtlinS through space was suggested
as responsible for the solar system by
Col John r. Mills Of Clevela nd. re
tired Army engineer. in paper which
he read here today At a joint meeting
Of the astronomical and mather 4 tica
sections of the American Asso, >.tion
for the advancement Of Science.
Col. Mills unfolded A story of
cataclysms. celestial bombardments
and the birth of the sun and plan
Of the solar system. among them the
earth.
Duaiistic Theory Explained.
In explaining the "dualistic theory,
Col. Mills pictured two bodies, each
something like one-half the size Of the
present sun, coming together, with
velocity not sufficient to cause their
mutual destruction and dissipation, but
such as to form their coalescence into
the sun and probably also producing
sufficient rise in temperature by me
chanical action to account for the
suns present heat
He suggested that when these bodies
crashed together "a few relatively
small fragments were altered out.
These fra gments slowly collected into
various units, now the planets, satel-
lites and smaller bodies OF the solar
system.
The fragmentary matter was pro
jected in one plane. and partook OF the
resultant revolving and rotating mo-
tions. which were naturally all, or
nearly ALL, in the same sense or direc-
ton for the entire system" he said.
Col Mills agreed with proponents
of the 'planetisimal theory that the
earth was gradually built up by the
coming together and coalescence of
smaller bodies. 1t Is believed. how
ever, he added. that the earth was
equipped with oceans, land surfaces,
atmosphere and even with life, when
masses, comparable in size to the
present asteroids revolving around the
sun between the orbits of Mars and
Jupiter, 'zoomed into It,"
Accounts for Earthquakes.
The gradual diffusion of heat shot
into the earth by such bodies results
in readjustments which may account
for earthquakes. he said.

lese OF engineering Of George Wash
voca ted new profession-human en-
gineering-before the engineering sec
ton of the association.
He criticized lawyers and their pro-
fession as "out OF joint as a whole
with the requirements of our present.
day civilization"
1T is so much so that I believe that
half the lawyers in this country are
parasites on society and perform no
useful service.
Part of another old profession. that

controversies over technical matters
and thereby disgusted many potential
leaders with the church and its works.
