.SAVANTS WEIGH
 CELESTIAL BODIES

WASHINGTON. D. O., Jan. 14.- Ambitious scientists on Uncle Sam's payroll have started out to weigh the earth, sun, moon planets, and stars with two little gold balls, couple ot cylinders and a gallery of mirrors.
 Down in a cave 35 feet under the lowest cellar of the bureau Of stan dards building they are putting the earth on the scales
 It is done by measuring the attrac- ton of the cylinders on the gold balls as they swing in circle from an aluminium beam.
 The attraction is almost immeasur- ably small, but applied to the earth in relation. to the sun and moon it explains the summer and winter, the tides and other natural phenomena of this changing world.
 Almost Correct
 The figure previously determined as representing that universal attraction of all bodies of matter for one an other, called the "gravitational con- stant," and fixed at .O0OOO0OO000OO is only 999S per cent correct, and Dr. Paul Rhyl, with special precautions for accuracy, hopes to obtain a figure which will be 99.9 per cent correct or 90 per cent reduction from the pre- sent error.
 With this figure and other data, in cluring the distance to the center of the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, the business of determining the mass for weight can be accomplished. The astronomers have worked out a formula whereby the mass can be ac- curately computed, the other factors in the equation being correct.
 The Present Estimate
 The present estimate for the earth s weight is 6,OOO,OOO, 900 ,OOO ,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO tons (six sextillion tons). Astrono- mers, admit however, that there is a basic error of One-fftieth of one per cent in this figure, or about one and one-fifth quintillion tons in the total This discrepancy has bothered them in their sidereal computations.
 If the present weighing experiment works this error will be reduced to 1-5OOth of 1 per cent, bringing the earth's weight estimate within 12O quadrillion tons of being right, suffi ciently close for all purposes.
 The suns weight is now computed at 32,000 times that of the earth, an appalling long string of figures. The same errors enter calculation of it's weight and if eliminated for the earth they will be eliminated for the sun

Red Russia Has Become
 a Country of "Joiners''

MOSCOW, Jan. 13.-Soviet Russia has become the country of 'joiners." :" Stroll along any Moscow street, and you will be struck by the numbers of passersby, wearing emblems and badges in their buttonholes.
 Not that Kiwanis, Rotary, Ameri- can lodges and college fraternities have installed Moscow chapters. Closer scrutiny discloses that the insignia displayed in Moscow indi- cate membership in the host of rev olutionary organizations which have sprung up under the soviet regime.
 The joining epidemic has brought soviet society. Membership dues which the ordinary citizen, especial ly the organized workman is obliged to pay in order to keep abreast of these gregarious times, run up to a tidy figure when the "jOiner" draws up his family budget. Moreover, the continual social, political and voca- tional meetings, which the joiner is constrained to attend leave him scant time for family or recreation. Even in soviet Russia, where time was always measured in hours, days and years, but never in minutes, the demands of membership in innumer-- able societies has become serious drain upon the life of the party member.
 A coal miner in the Don basin has written a letter on this subject to the central communist organ, Pray da," which confronts the rulers of the country's destiny with a new puzzle The letter evokes the ques ton of how can the soviet citizen live on a paltry twenty-four hours time for one day.
 The coal miner rightly points out that hundreds of thousands of his party comrades have not become "joiners" because their desire to be come members of this or that club ol society is irresistible, but because party or trade union discipline" re quire that they join. Thus it hap pens that at a general meeting O the trade union the unions presiden proposes that all the workers joi1 the Volunteer Red Air Fleet society It would not be "the right thing" t. refuse such suggestion, and so th' trade unionists unanimously" vot, in favor of joining the society. Sim ilarly, every communist party mem Der or trade unionist (and there arr six and 3 half million of the latte becomes, willy nilly, member of veritahle flock of organizations.
 The coal miner, writing in "Prag da," mentions that in this manne lie has become a member of the Vol unteer Red Air Fleet society, tn Volunteer Society for Chemical Wal fare, the International Society fo Relief of Political Prisoners, tn Homeless Children's Aid Society fo
