That-or some version Of that
picture-is w h at motherhood

mean that in many sections of

are places where the vigil OF
motherhood is dark and desper-

heroic efforts of women who risk
their own lives to save their
sisters. Here's another picture

That's the beginning OF the
story. Mary Breckenridge tells
the rest of it in the October 1,
issue of THE SURVEY. She
calls her story-"AN ADVEN-

report of the work being done
by the Kentucky Committee for

for the women and children in the
mountain districts. No drama
ever staged is more dramatic
than this simple story of heroic
aid in desperate need.
For over 375 square miles OF
Kentucky territory there are no
railways. no highways, no bridges,
no automobiles, no physicians,
nothing but mountain wilderness
and the poor homes OF those "old
stock Americans" who have lived
there for generations and suffered
so cruelty in the contest with that
wilderness. Upon the mothers
and the newborn babies the
heaviest toll of suffering has
been laid1 Last year the first
organized attempt was made to
alleviate that suffering by the

SUMS CHANGES
By Garrett P. SerViss

HOW far afield the astronomer
III sometimes goes to obtain his
facts concerning things relatively
near at hand Is illustrated by the
work that Prof. Joel Stebbins,
of the University OF Wisconsin,
has lately been doing at the Lick
Observatory. He has been study
ing the light changes OF Jupiter's
moons in order to determine the
variability Of the suns radiation
with special relation to the effect
of such variability upon the
climates Of the earth.
One might ask: why not study
the sun itself to see how much its
light and heat Vary?"
The reply is: "That is done,
and very carefully, too; but un-
fortunately the state of the earth's
atmosphere is SO variable that it
masks the effects Of changes Of
the solar radiation so that much
difficulty and uncertainty are en-
countered in disentaugling the real
variations from apparent ones.
Here Prof Stebbins method comes
in to avoid the difficulty.
An Example
Suppose YOU are watching
large conflagration from a nearby
boint; the total amount of light
that 1t emits may vary quite
largely without the variation being
evident or measurable to you. But
il you go off to a great distance,
from which the light can be
grasped by the eye as a whole,
the fluctuations of total brightness
are easily noted. Somewhat sim
liar is the effect of viewing the
reflection Of the suns variable
radiation from remote celestial
body. whose angular diameter APP
pears small.
Prof. Stebbins employed a pho
toelectric cell TO receive the light
from the Jovian satellites. the
brightness being measured with
q delicate galvanometer. TO de-
termine the changes in brightness
of a satellite comparison was made
with selected small stars in the
same field. The light Of the
stars being original with them,
while that Of the satellite Is re-
Elected sunlight, which has not
passed through the earth's at
mosphere before being reflected
from the satellite, any chahnge in
the latter's brightness arising from
alteration OF the suns light would
be detected by comparison with
the stars, whose light Is unaffected
by the solar variation.
Check on Results
This method Is not intended as
a substitute for direct study OF
the suns radiation as received on
the earth, but only as a check
those things which she hath never
possessed.

.NEVERS SHOWS
MUCH CLASS

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. March
17.-When Ernie Nevers, celebra-
ted Stanford University athlete and
football hero, made his first appear
ance in major league baseball
uniform there was bit of skepti-
cism about his present and future
pospects as ball player by the
wrinkled and sunburned veteran
members of the st. Louis Browns.
But after he had stepped through
the preliminary training PAGES,
everybody starting with Manager
George Sisler and right down the
entire line, was convinced that an
ether diamond star had arrived.
OF course, it is not forgotten that
1t is quite a hurdle from the col.
legiate fields to the American
League. but nevertheless there is
the unanimous opinion in the
Browns camp that Nevers is going
to make the grade.
AS Nevers strutted from the club
house to the playing field on his
debut all professional eyes followed
him. Their thoughts naturally
were-Nevers, the, sensational full
back on the gridiron and not as
Nevers, the juvenile on the base
ball squad.
