WOMAN SCIENTIST
IS S!|L[ FEMININE
Prof. Winifred Clara Cults
Shows No Traits of
Stage Variety.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 2S.-Prof. Wini
fred Clara Cullis has nothing of the
appearance of woman scientists as
shown on the stage.
She comes Of a scientific family.
Her father and two brothers are dis
tinguished scientists, and she has
spent much of her life in laboratories
and lecture rooms. But there is moth
ing of the old.fashioned or alternating
reclue in the woman professor OF
physiology of London University.
Plays Golf and Dances.
AS president of the British Fedora
ton of University Women and vice
president Of the International Fedora
ton Of University Women, Prof. Cul-
lis finds time to work for the better
ment of women the world over. And
in spite Of her professional and public
service duties, she finds time for walk
ing. golfing. cricket and dancing.
Prof. Cullis, who is we'll known in
the United States. is very enthusiastic
about the attitude of women in North
America toward education.
The great numbers Of all classes
who attend college, whether they in
tend to follow careers or not, appeal
to her very strongly.
U. s. Women Cemplimented.
English women would do well to
initiate the example Of the women in
the New World" she said. More
girls of the upper classes should go
to Oxford or Cambridge, just as their
brothers do, to broaden their outlook
on life"
r. Prof. Cults holds the opinion that
marriage nee1 not interfere with
women's professional work and that
states exceed their authority when
they bar married women from public
service.
II do not believe in the so-called
protective legislation for women for
bidding them to engage in certain in
dustrial occupations on the same
lines as men," said Prof. Cullis.
Restrictive Legislation.
II call that restrictive legislation.
You will remember Huxley's words,
If we think a woman Is handicapped
by nature, for Gods sake don't let
us add to that handicap by mems
laws"
The professor is unmarried at so
and laughinsly says she has more
need for a wife than husband. She
finds it is something of a burden to
keep a household going and attend to
social duties on top of her professional
work.

SUNS HUE IS BLUE,
BUREAU DECLARES
Neither White Nor Red, as
Popularity Believed, Weather
Observer Says.

The sun. which appears white OF
red to an observer on earth, really is
blue.
1t would appear blue disk in a
black sky to human being stand
ing on the moon.
The Weather Bureau has Just is
sued a statement explaining the rea
son for its appearance to an observer
standing beneath the earth's blanket
Of air. The atmospheric gases, &C
cording to this explanation, scatter
most of the rays in the violet end
of the suns spectrum so that the sky
appears blue instead Of the sun.
Text of Explanation.
The text of the explanation fol
lows:
For long time the Weather Blu.
reau has been measuring the intensity
Of the radiant or heat energy received
from the sun at a few of its stations
From these measurements and the
value of the solar constant, or the in
tensity of solar energy outside the
earth's atmosphere. the losses suf-
fered by the solar rays in coming
through the earth's atmosphere be
comes known. There are three prin-
Clpal sources OF loss, namely. aDSOrp-
ton by the gases of the atmosphere,
principally water vapor; scattering by
these gases. and scattering by the
solid particles. or dust, In the atmos-
phere. The rays scattered are not all
lost to the earth. for some of them
come to us as diffuse radiation from
the sky. The intensity of this diffuse
radiation is also measured by the
Weather Bureau and is a considerable
percentage on the whole.
Effect of High Temperature.
"On account of its very high tenn
perature-about 5000 degrees on the
absolute scale-the sun would appear
blue in color if it's rays suffered no
loss in our atmosphere. But the at
mospheric gases scatter most of the
rays in the violet end Of the spectrum.
In consequence the sky is blue and
the sun is white, or even red, when
viewed near the horizon through. a
haZy sky.
"It seems to be we'll established
that short-wave or violet light plays
an important part in the prevension
and cure of certain diseases. Hence
the great importance Of a more de-
tailed study of sunlight. At sea level
comparatively little radiation Of the
short-wave length, which nhyy.@.. 800 :.
consider the most potent germicide, is
found in dirac., sunlight, while sky
liHht - the sky is free from smoke
and dust. Is comparatively rich in
ultraviolet"

High School Probe Next.
Mr.. Lockwood, in his testimony,
stated that his connection with Col.
]. C.. Moller, who was suspended from
his post as traffic engineer of the
District, Thursday, was limited to his
seeking Col. Moller's approval for
certain steps in the installation of
the traffic lights.
Before todays session opened the
committee went into executive ses-
sion for approximately 40 minutes,
during which time it was decided to
break off further investigation into
the traffic lights after today and open
up on the Western High School situa-
ton. Representatives Hammer of
North Carolina, Houston of Delaware,
and Gilbert of Kentucky, attended
the session today.
Says Pepco Kept Check.
Mr.. Lockwood told the committee
that whenever he wanted to get a
light for installation he simply went
TO the storehouse and got it without
any one from the City Government
being there to check up on it or give
It to him. He said he just opened up
packages and took out the material
and that as far as he knew, neither
the District nor the Potomac Power
Co. kept any check on the materials
used for installation as part Of the
traffic light system. Concluding his
testimony. however, he said the
Potomac Power Co. kept a strict check
on whatever of their material was
used.
r.. b. Patterson. superintendent OF
the distribution department of the
Potomac Electric Power Co., the next
witness to be sworn. told the commit.
tee that before the installation of the
lights was made a general conference
had been held, at which Electrical
Engineer Hadley. Traffic Director
a Eldridge and Col. Moller were present,
representing the city.
The questioning was evidently cen.
tered about establishing whether the
District made q check-up at all on the
Installation of lights during the next
flhase Of the examination of this wit
ness, and Mr.. Patterson stated that
inspectors from the electrical depart.
snent had been observed on the job
from time to time.

Suggestion of Procedure.

IF you have a couple of trust
worthy, keen and resourceful young
men in your service" the letter said.
''you could get number of these
fellows, if they go about it in the
right way.
There are several things which
they could do to go about il in the
right way. There are several things
which they can do to get into the
current of the bootlegging activities.
They could come to Albany and by
banging around the Hampton Hotel,
or the Schlitz Hotel, they could get
jim touch with local people who want
somebody to go to the north coun-
try, to get the ale and beer, etc.. and
bring it to Albany, and the Albany
people would tell them where to go
On Clinton County to get the stuff
"I have no doubt the local people
would provide the automobile. They
could go to Clinton County and go
where these local people send them
and get in touch with the proprietors
of these places and make their buy
and come away.
eff they could be arrested it would
not hurt anything, but perhaps would
make it better for their future activi-
ties.
Other Steps Suggested.
"They could also go directly to
Plattsburg and vicinity and hang
around and easily get in touch with
the dealers. I am told you can go
into certain lunchrooms in Plattsburg,
Champlain and Rouses Point and, If
you come up with an automobile. you
will be solicited to buy a load to take
back. 1t might be well for them to
drive up in an automobile rather than
to go up without the automobile"
The letter explained that if the
agents were arrested, they would be
released on Judge Cooper's orders.
Representative Laguardia. Repub-
iican, New York, who seeks the
Judges impeachment. contended that
this letter definitely implicated Judge
Cooper in an illegal plan to trap
liquor law violators. One OF the first
of the new witnesses called was Leo
w. Breed, assistant United States dis
frict attorney at Syracuse, whose
Office is investigating the disappear
ance from Judge Cooper's files of let
ters said to have n bearing on the
Impeachment case.
Chairman Graham said the commit
tee had decided to permit Laguardia
to go more broadly into his charges
with the understanding that the hear
ing would be concluded when his
latest witnesses had been heard.

the Boone B church by DR.. S.
H. Templeman, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Morehead City, and
Rev. A. C. Handy, field worker of
the state mission board. Mr. Handy
explained the purpose of the meeting
as being three-fold: A meeting for
fellowship, inspiration and informa-
ton.
DR.. Temploman gave at length his
plan of financing his church of more
than seven hundred members at
Morehead city. His plan is to pre-
pare at the first of the year a budget
and then put on an every member
canvass, giving an opportunity for
each member to indicate the amount
he or she may wish to contribute for
church expenses and missions during
the year, preferably contributing a
relative part each Sunday.
after the canvass is completed at
the first of January" said DR.. Tenn
pleman, 81 never say any thing fur
ther about it. never take special
collections. AS a result of this sys-
tenn SO per cent of my members con-
tribute regularly and plenty of mon
ey is always in the treasury to meet
all our needs"
DR.. Templeton spoke further with
reference to the oft-repeated charge
that the church is losing its power.
If this be true, said he, it is because
the church is failing to do the thing
for which power was promised by
Christ; that is, to go and make des-
cipes of all nations.
Mr.. Handy spoke fore particularly
of the mission side of church pro-
gram.
The meeting was fairly well attend
ed and very inspirational. Ten or
more churches were represented.
