CLOSE YO
MOON TONIGHT,
NEARING EARTH
(By Jack o.Connor.)

Rising tonight about $3.50 p. M,
q brilliant red. companion, the planei
Mars, and slowly drawing closer to
the "war star" will be separated from
it at midnight by only 1 degree and
3S minutes, or 16 minutes nearer to
it than to Jupiter op the occasion
of their conjunction last Saturday
night.
Mars is of special interest this
season, as on October 27 it will make
one of its biennial close approaches
to the earth, being distant from
us 42,624,OOO miles, which is 1900, 600
miles less than half the distance OF
the sun from the earth. Every twt
years Mars attains q maximum dis
tance of over 2OO,OOO,OOO miles from
us, at which times it appears as a
very faint star, and then gradually
approaches to a minimum distance ol
from SIS to 35 million miles.
The closest approach of Mars in
the past Is years occurred in 1922
when it came within 37000,000 miles
Of us. 1t was then an object o,
intensive study by scientists and mans
valuable observations were made, buN
this years approach, while 100000
miles less close, may possibly afford
even a better opportunity for study
as in 1924 it was located so far south
in the zodiac that there was con-
siderable atmospheric interference tc
contend with, this year it is situated
in the constellation Taurus and thus
will be almost directly overhead late
at night in October and November,
when it will be closest and exceed
ing in brightness all the stars, not
even excepting the splendid Sirius.
Controversy on the possibility OF
Mars being inhabited has existed for
many wears, Professor Lowell, OF
Arizona, having been one of the most
energetic proponents of the theory OF
inhabitability Modern experiments
with the latest instruments, however,
have proven that the Martian tenn
perature is extremely low, varying
from 10 degrees above zero to 70
below, and the consensus of scientific
opinion is now that if Mars is in
habited at all it's denizens must be
totally different beings from orr
selves, capable of existence with
practically no heat and little atmos-
phere, and of withstanding pI o1onged
and intense cold
The diameter of Mars is only 4,210
miles, or about twice the size or the
moon, and not much more than halc
as large as the earth.

TREASURE HUNT
IS ANNOUNCED BY
CLUB

hunt for treasure such as lured
the Spaniard%A to seek the Seven
fCitiesAof Cibola. has been announced
eby the Douglas country club as the
main feature of the entertainment
to be given at the club the night Of
October 2. After a session lasting
more than six hours, the special
committee in charge of arrangements
announced the terms of the treasure
hunt Thursday.
In order to Search for the treasure
! in these parts it will be necessary
for every lady who goes to be ac-
companed by gentleman other than
her own husband and that everyone
so engaged have the use of an auto
mobile. Since there seems to be a
shortage of men and cars, members
without cars should make arrange
ments at onceA to go with someone
who has a car.
While searching for evidence Of
treasure in the environs of Douglas
and the Country club the special
committee arranging the affair has
found important evidence which points
to the fact that no such treasure
and no such treasure hunt has ever
been found anywhere else in the sec
ton west of the Pecos or south OF
the Warren district. Indications are,
says one member of this committee,
that the entire wealth of the state
of Sonora, both in legend and fact.
has been stored somewhere near the
clubhouse Other members of the
committee have no doubt of the truth
| of this statement and will, today
and saturday, make individual investi-
/ cation of the authority and veracity
of this report. If true it will in all
probability revolutionize what has
heretofore been known as club indebt-
edness.
! One of the most interesting and
perhaps most astonishing incidents
Of this preliminary investigation on
the part of the eight individuals who
compose the special committee was
met with yesterday when it was
Learned that numerous unlocked for
Iclues leading to the treasure which
is hidden in some unknown but quite
accessible spot within a few miles
! of the clubhouse have been unearthed
! and will in all probability be shared
with the members who avail them
selves of the opportunity of search
ing on the night of October 2.

PARK GUEST CHAMBER
 OF HOBO PHILOSOPHER
(Continued from First Page)

Spending the winter in New York, Payne started another trip the fol- lowing May. This time a northern route was chosen which took him through New England, the Great Lakes states and westward to Cali tornia. Ten thousand miles was cov- cred in 20 months.
 The fourth trip was of equal length in mileage, but lasted nearly two years. This was largely con- ducted via Canada and often led him into wild country where trails in stead of automobile roads were fol- lowed.
 Although uncommon, such long cross country trips are not unique, as periodically someone gains pub lclty for a coast forecast walking trip. Payne'S uniqueness lies in the fact that he is a university trained man, who has qualified for the Eng fish bar and in spite of his wander lngs has not dcgenerated into a tramp. Like King Arthur's knights, he is on quest for knowledge of life and believes that he can con- tribute to the welfare of human so- ciety by disseminating his phil osophy, which Is unusual.
 Instead of practing law he went 10 farming in England in a small way where he found that he could make q living working 50 days year or one day a week. The re- mainder of his time was spent in pursuing those studies and pursuits which he felt contributed to the de- yelopment of his cultural life.
 Coming 10 America in 1908. he followed construction work for seven years, During these seven years he worked three days a week and lived comfortably. He also saved enough money to provide for his old ago.
 By this time his children had grown Up and his wife died. These circumstances enabled him to free himself from fixed abode and Payne set forth On his quest
 At first he followed the harvest of crops and worked enough to pro- vide money for long trips. A two years' trip was financed by no days of work. Sometimes he did not work at all on these trips but lived on his savings accumulated during the winter
 In the south he has tasted the hospitality of several jails and chair gangs as penalty for being 8, foot tourist, but as q rule he says that he is civilly treated by the police au- thorities in the north and east.
 In his pack he carries cooking utensils sleeping bag, a change of l underclothes, extra blanket, toilet | articles, etc. With food, the whole outfit weighs 4o pounds. He wears a khaki suit and leggings and ap. pears immediately clean both in body and garments.
 The Philosopher figures that he can often live on 80 cents a day for food.
