HIRAM INTERNATIONAL TO
MEET NOGALES APRIL e

Plans have been launched actively
for the third annual convention of
Hiram International, which will be
held this year in Nogales on April %.
The convention is expressed to be
the largest held by Hiram Interna-
tional. The Nogales Hiram club viii
be host to the delegates to the con-
vention and to other members of Hi
ram clubs who attend the conven-
ton.
At a recent meeting Of the board of
governors Of Hiram International held
in Phoenix at the call of Barnett r.
Marks, master builder Of the interna-
tional organization, the annual con-
vention was discussed and a tentative
program outlined.
Each of the eight Hiram clubs in
the state will be entitled to send two
delegates to the convention, it was
announced AS many members of the
various clubs as desire, however, may
attend the convention, but in matters
necessary for vote, only the author
lied delegates will be permitted to
vote, according to officers.
1t is expected that one of the inn
portant questions to be discussed at
the convention will be the ways and
means for the future development
and growth of Hiram International,
and the organization of clubs outside
the state.
Reports from various committees of
the organization will be taken up at
the convention and discussed. A re-
IL.
of Hiram International and work of
the Hiram organization from its in
ception about three years ago.
One of the social features of the
convention this year at Nogales will
be the banquet to be given by the No
gales Hiram club in honor of visiting
delegates and Hirams. The banquet
is expected to be one Of the principal
entertainment features of the conven-
tion.
Plans are now being made in No
gales to give a dance following the
banquet to the delegates, visiting Hi
rams and their ladies.
The women who visit the conven-
tion are to be entertained during the
convention by members of the No
SclCo NlAcipL VI bllC AScl0kI1lAf* OtoAs .
During the convention hours, special
program of entertainment will be pro-
vided by the Nogales Eastern Star.
Letters announcing the convention
and asking each Hiram club to select
delegates have been sent out by Bar
nett +. Marks, master builder of the
organization. The letters also extend
an invitation to all Hirams who may
desire to attend the convention to at
tend with heir ladies.
Letters of invitation also have been
sent to each Hiram club by L. r.

Hiram club, on behalf of the NogaIes
club, asking the various clubs to seno
large representations to the conven-
! ton.

OLD MOTHER EARTH
PUT ON SCALES TO
DETERMINE WEIGHT

Old mother earth, who has been
tipping the scientific scales for many
years at around six thousand million,
million, million tons-(six followed
by 21 ciphers )-is having her weight
more accurately determined for pos
terity, but it's lengthy undertaking
and won't be completed for at least
another year and half.
The recent adoption by large oil
companies of the instrument known
as the torsion balance for finding oil
deposits has brought to light the
progress being made here in expert
ments with the same instrument to
weigh the entire earth.
For three years, Dr. Paul r. Heyl
has been carrying on the patience
trying test in small room 35 feet
underground at the bureau of stand
ards. He has, on some occasions,
held himself in one position there for
more than nine hours at a time, so as
not to disturb the sway of his deli
cate instruments. His sub-surface re-
treat was chosen to avoid interfer-
ence by surface forces.
The weight of the earth is looked
upon by DR.. Heyl as only a side issue
in his experiment For 80 years prior
to the start of his work the law of
gravitation had not been investigated,
and what he mainly is seeking is an
other decimal for the 6.6e Newtonian
constant, numerical quantity used
in determining the force of attraction
between two given bodies.
When this figure, which has been
tentatively found now, to be 6.658,
and others, are discovered with a
greater degree of precision, a mathe-
matical computation is expected by
the scientist to reveal this long-hid-
den secret of the earth.
DR.. Heyl believes the earth is con-
stantly gaining weight through the
fall of meteors, but thisN increase is
relatively so light that it will not af-
feet his experiments. In fact the
weight of the earth is so great that
his extremely delicate instruments
would not be stirred if the entire
human race were suddenly to vanish.
The result of the test, Dr. Heyl be-
lives, will provide valuable material
for astronomers, oil prospectors and
students of the earth's interior

Justice of Peace Tom Puliiam the
other day recalled being on jury in
a misdemeanor case in which all the
jurors were agreed, all right, but
some Of them, including Tom, just for
the fun Of the thing, decided to vote
wrong.
They would talk it over and each
agree that the defendant should be
acquitted, then when the ballots were
counted it would be found some had
voted for conviction. And so it went,
time after time.
One of the jurors was Sid Barron,
then tailor here. Sid had press
ing engagement back at his shop to
press a pair of pants and begged the
others to cut out the foolishness and
vote the way they talked. His APP
peals were more or less general, for
he had no idea which were the guilty
ones.
Finally, hope of getting together
seemingly lost, all was cleared up
when someone proposed that Sid
stand treat in case the next ballot
was unanimous. Sid agreed and the
verdict was reached.
Amt got over being mad yet. Had
a dickens of a cold last week and Just
as | met Ed Whipple, the undertaken,
on the street, had to cough, and Ed
says: ''Say, kid, how tall be you ?"

Wanna know what'll make woman

No not three cheers but hail, good
old frozen H2O right out Of blue sky.
A perfect demonstration was given
at the state federation convention in
Phoenix, according to returned dele
gates.
The sessions were in order, reports
were being given. The rain began to
fall. The speakers raised their voices.
Small pellets of hail dropped on the
roof, larger stones began to hammer
persistently. Then hail fell like
everything, the size of hens eggs"
The speakers yelled at the top of
their lungs, the hail continued to fall,
the voices weakened, dwindled to
nothing.
The convention sessions were closed
in silence.
Hundreds of women not talking.
All because of hail.
All hail, hail!-Tucson Star.
