WIRELESS MAY TELL
IF CONTINENTS DRIFT
Theory That Europe and America
Are Moving Farther Apart
May Get Test.
Rv Science Servtce

BY Science Service
SOUTHAMPTON. England. - Are
America and Europe drifting farther
apart? This question. asked in a
geological and not in a political sense,
was set before the meeting Of the
British Association for the Advance
ment Of Science by Prof. j. w.
Gregory, who proposed to answer it hv
the use Of wireless time signals for
the determination of variations IN
longitude. Kept up for a few years,
he said. these would afford z conclu-
vanced by Wegener that the Atlantic
Ocean was produced BY the drifting
apart of the Americas on one side and
Europe and Africa on the other.
The reality of drifting motion Of
whole continents is now seriously &C
cepted by many geclogists. Recent in
vestigations have shown that beneath
the uppermost so miles or so of rocky
crust there is a seni-molten layer Of
magma or lava everything the earth g
solid central core, and on this viscid
mass the continual blocks find more or
less uncertain footing. The idea Of
drift also receives support from the
rather suggestive reciprocity of the
projections and inde1tations of the
Atlantic shores of America and the
Eurafriean Goa astline.
Prof. Gregory was not inclined, how
ever, TO admit the rapidity of drift
postulated by the Wegsner theory, and
il is to get q critical test of this dis
puted question that he proposed the
use Of radio time signals.

II would seem from this survey that
the qualities of distance getting, in
door aerial reception with loop and
considerable volume are by no means
as desirable as the first four qualities
of tone quality, selectivity, appear
ance and price.
Outside Aerial Best.
A little thought will show why
these last three qualities are not 30
desirable. The best programs are
those which are broadcast from sta
tions close ny and within a radius
of 100 to 200 miles. These stations
come in To best advantage without
the troublesome effects of static and
distortion which spoil good programs.
An outside aeria is so easy 10 erect
and gives such better results even
with a comparatively small set that
the loop does not figure as such an
important item.
Lastly. the considerable volume So
desired in the early DAYS of radio
when fans liked TO show off" to the
neiEhbors has given place to receivers
and loud speakers that give volume

OF Interest to the Prospective Radio
Purchaser.

Times certainly do change and with
them many of the treasured ideas of
certain ella sses- also change. Not so
long ago the main requirements of a
radio receiver were volume and the
ability to get distant stations. Now
these two requirements are far from
being the most desira bic Characters
tics of a receiver.
If you are contemplating buying a
new receiver a knowledge of what
others are demanding NAV help you in
your choice. Recently, Radio Retail
ing ma gaZine conducted a survey ask
ing what chara cteristics were most de-
sira BILE in radio receiver.
The most desirable quality that
headed the list was that of tone quail
ity. Radio fans are dema nding more
and more that radio receiver meas
uTe up to the best as n real musical
instrument and faithful reproducer Of
the human voice. The novelty Of
hear ring anything at all over the radio
has worn off and radio receivers must
now compete with each other on the
basis of real tone quality rather tha IN
on the mere novelty of bringing in
stations. When some one is talking
over the radio. fans insist that every
sylla BILE be distinct enough to be un-
derstood without the use of an inter

ears capa BILE of dragging the words
through rumble and jargon.

FINDS SOME STARS SHINE
IN VERITABLE LIMELIGHT
Astronomer Says Clouds of Calcium
Gas at Fiery Heat Wander in
Space of the Heavens.
By Science Service

NORTHFIELD, Minn.-Clouds Of
calcium. the lement responsible for
lime, marble, chalk and a number Of
other familiar things, but blown out
to atomic flneness and fiery heat,
wander in stellar space. In some
places double stars. pairs of twin suns,
rotate about each other in the midst
of such an eddyins celestial linlelight.
DR.. Otto Struve of Yerkes Observatory
discussed them before the meeting Of
the American Astronomical Society
here.
His attention was first drawn TO the
existence Of these calcium clouds. DR..
Struve said. because certain lines
from double stars did not shift when
photographed through the spectre
scopiC telescope as they should have
if the light enanated from the twin
suns of double star as they alter
nately advance and retreat. Further
observations led him to the Conclu-
sion that these lines were due TO the
element calcium. which formed 2 sort
of envelope of glowing stellar mist
about the whole Of the double solar
systems. Further search of the
heavens discovered other calcium
clouds without any stars in them
Such masses lie mostly along the line
of the Milky WAY.

MAY USE PRO PLAN
IN AMATEUR EVENT

PITTSBURGH. September BE
fore the time comes for the holding
of another amateur championship it
is something more than a mere prob
ability that the T.. & c. A will an
nounce a new sectional qualifying
plan similar to the one now used by
the Professional Golfers Association
for its ampionship.
Dne of the officials intimated that
the association was now consid erinE
the adoption of such a plan. Golf
has reached stage in this country"
he said. where it is essential to de-
wise a plan ',lat will admit TO the
cha mpionship only those who are ca =
pable of playing championship golf
and Yet to give golfers in every sec
tion chance TO demonstrate their
fitness without clogging up the
field"
The problem of reducing the cham
pionship field to a worka BILE size
without doing injustice 10 the young
sters on the way up is one that hs
ba fled the eligibility committee for
years.
Formerly there was national eligi-
bility list. and admission TO the
qualifying rounds was based on hand
leap. This did moi work out Sa tis-
factorily. for in spite Of every pre-
caution the field continued To he so
large as 10 he unwieldy. Last year.
a Merton for example. there were
lI1 competitors out of the 1875 who
were eligible.
At the annual meeting this Winter
the associa ton decided 10 abolish the
list and TO base admission solely upon
performance for the last two years.
IT was the general belief that such
a plan would eliminate some of the
usual chaff, but ii hasn't, judging by
what has been shown at Oakmont
What probably will be done next
year is to divide the country into sec
tions. play preliminary qualifying
round in each. and by so doing limit
the championship field to 81 PLAYERS.

SUNDAY CRICKET BARRED
BY SAMOAN PARLIAMENT

APIA, Samoa, September 7 tP).-
The House of Faipule (Samoan Par
hamenD has passed a law prohibiting
the playing of cricket on Sunday. The
measure was adopted at the request
of the New Zealand administrator,
Gen. Sir George s. Richardson.
Recently Rev. q. S. Shingfeld of
the Methodist Mission made a com
plant against children of the Roman
Catholic persuasion. alleging that they
were playing cricket on Sunday. The
secretary of native affairs, who is
clothed with judicial functions and is
n ex-member of the London Mission
ary Society, fined the Catholic Cate
chist and the school children $50.
Bishop Durand of the Catholic Mis-
sion protested and the matter is to be
carried before the high court of west
ern Samoa to determine whether the
fine was justified.
The incident is causing much ex-
element.
