NOTED ASTRONOMER SAYS
CIVILIZATION NOW IS MOST
TOO GENERAL TO DECAY

Fridays Hiram club program, ar
ranged by Frank M. Gold, chairman
for the day, was of unusual interest,
both because of the beautiful singing
of two solos by Mrs. Frank Wells of
Williams and an informative address
by Dr. C. 0. Lampland Of the staff of
Lowell observatory.
DR.. Lampland, who had been i'll with
the grippe and had just left his home
that morning for the first time in
more than a week, apologlzed for
what he termed his "haphazard'' talk.
But the close attention paid to it and
the many congratulations he received
at its close gave ample evidence that
his auditors did not consider 1t hap
hazard
The speaker with numerous charts
described the methods used and re-
suits achieved in the last few years In
measurements at Lowell observatory
by himself and Dr. CoblentZ of the u.
S. bureau of standards at Washington,
d. c., of the temperature at the sur
face of Mars The delicate instruments
used in this work were shown. The
causes of solar and lunar eclipses and
the path followed by the recent solar
eclipse were illustrated with graphic
devices.
DR.. Lampland made it clear to the
laymen the manifold uses of astron-
omy to mankind, in determining time,
in furnishing of fundamental knoWl-
edge for navigation and surveying and
in development of perfection of tele-
scopes and other optical instruments.
Through the influence of astronomy,
in the perfection of instruments used
on long range guns, the speaker said,
even the fate of nations may be de-
termined.
In concluding, Dr. Lampland spoke
of the decadence of earlier civiliza-
tions and expressed doubt that such
decadence can again occur because
then higher civilization was limited TO
comparatively small areas while now,
through almost instantaneous electrl-
cal communication between all parts
of the world, the dissemination OF
news and fact through the press and
the closer touch between all parts OF
the world with each other through
highly developed transportation, high
er civilization now has become thing
that is or may be shared equally by
every nation on the earth.
Mrs. Margaret Howard Fay played
the piano accompaniment for Mrs.
Wells. DR.. Felix Manning, president
of the club, called the meeting to order
and closed it.
