EXPERT SEES SUN
AS WEATHER KEY
Promise of Success Found in
Study of Connection o.
Two Elements.

MADISON, Wis, November g.
The connection between weather
| changes and variations in the sun is
being studied with considerable prom
Use of success, Prof. Joel Stebbins
said. in an address prepared for de-
livery today before the National
Academy Of Sciences.
Prof Stebbins, who is director OF
Washburn Observatory at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, said that the sun
as q variable star, was subject to a
noticeable change in the amount of
radiation in the form of heat and
light, while some other stars, notably
the red ones, showed light variations
as high as 40 per cent.
1T has been demonstrated by the
work of the Smithsonian Astrophysi
cal Observatory and its stations that
the sun may be called a variable
amount of radiation in the form of
heat and light which the sun emits
is not the same. but changes to the
extent of several per cent on either
side of the average.
The results Of the Smithsonian OBJ
servers are being used to study the
connection between weather changes
and variations in the sun, with con-
siderable promise of success.
Since the SUM only one of many
million stars, the question arises as
to how near this variability of the
sun is typical of the stars in general.
Roughly, the stars may be divided into
those which are white hot, yellow hot
and red hot. The sun is a yellow

TRADE STANDARD
BOARD PROPOSED
Tribunal to Stop Abuses and
Waste to Be Asked at
Conference Here.

Establishment Of a business tribuna
to be known as a joint-trade relations
committee, which would seek to elimi
nate trade abuses and to organize buSi
ness practice standards to counteract
business waste, will be recommended
to the National Distribution Confer
ence, which meets in Washington De
cember Is and 16 under the auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
A committee which has been investi
eating the subject, headed by A. Lin
coin Filene of Boston. has worked
out a plan for the committee calling
for representation of producers, dis.
tributors and consuming interests. Its
functions would be:
ITO act as a clearing house for
charges Of trade abuses and to assist
in the elimination of unethical prac-
tices.
ITO conduct research into existing
trade abuses and existing codes set
up among trades to cure these abuses
and so serve as a gradually expanding
repository for what might be ex-
pressed as the common law of bust,
ness.
ITO stimulate the development of
codes and methods of settling disputes
within trades where they do not al
ready exist.
ITO bring about joint action by
producers and distributors to accom-
plish the elimination of business
wastes for the existence Of which each
has a responsibility"
This proposal is the result Of one of
six surveys made by committees OF
the National Chamber on distribution,
manufacturing. wholesaling and retail
ing, which will report to the distribu-
ton conference.
