MORE CARE IN

Pan-American Congress Scru.
tinizes Movies as They
Paint Latin America

Havana, Jan. 24-(AP)-The mo.
tion picture as it paints Latin Amer.
ica today was under the scrutiny oi
the Pan-American congress.
Apparently voicing the feelings Of
other delegates, the delegation from
Salvador presented a resolution deal
ing with the silver screen to the
committee on intellectual coopera-
tion. The resolution asks that more
care be exercised in making films
for Latin American consumption SO
that they will not offend.
Hector Castro, of Salvador, in pre-
senting the resolution, urged the
members to support it not only to
safeguard their own interests and
feelings, but also to bring about
production Of pictures which would
more truly typify the Latin Amer
icas.
U. S. Would Amend Treaty
Interest was alse focused today on
the meeting Of the communications
committee by an announcement that
the United States delegation would
have amendments to introduce to the
draft treaty regarding commercial
aviation.
Henry p. Fletcher, ambassador to
Italy and a delegate, said the amend
ments would protect the right Of the
United States to determine what for
eign commercial planes should fly
over the Panama Canal, the Guam
tanamo, Cuba. naval base and other
fortified zones. He did not think
the suggested amendments material
" affected the general sense Of the
treaty.
The draft treaty as prepared by
the inter-American commercial avia-
tion commission in Washington last
May, contains provision declaring
that countries are allowed to enter
into special agreements with other
countries regarding international
aviation. It also provides that, al
though all countries may prohibit
flying over definite zones for mill
tary or other reasons. this provision
shall be applied equally to national
and foreign planes.
One United States amendment was
to the effect that countries be also
allowed to enter into agreements
with others as to what zones shall
be considered fortified and therefore
prohibited to aviation.
Much Interest Shown
Great interest has been aroused by
reports current since the treaty was
discussed in Washington that the
United States is determined to place
reservations regarding the clause
applying the prohibition to flying
over fortified zones equally 70 ma
tional and foreign planes. Many
American delegates hold that e the

defended 30 heartily last May, name

SCIENCE attributes tempests to

tached masses of aerial projectiles which
traverse the general mass of the
atmosphere like the discharge from
mitrailleuSe. Even in time of calm the
movements of the air may be complex.
During periods of excessive heat pulls
of air hot as from a furnace strike the
exposed portions of the human body.
The air mass at a normal temperature
holds heat as the organism holds the
cell Such phenomena as the pro-
jectiles of heat are frequently produced
several times within the period OF
the air is not at all like the surround
ing atmospherical strata. The heated
air is sent out in projectilelike pro-
pulsions. These are produced not IN
high regions alone.

The word wind" signifies something
very simple, an approximately uniform
displacement of air The word may be
considered as the generic name of a
series of remarkably complex phe-
nomena, of which little is known. One
authority characterizes wind as "the

fact, but its possibilities are beyond the

lawyer.
Mata Hari dressed. She dressed as
if for a soiree. She used the full re-
sources of her toilette, put on her gay

this woman know she was going to her
death?
1t was a question that many we're
to ask after her execution. For WSsn
she faced the firing squad before the
moat in Vincennes ner airy good-nv

Sational rumor after the firing squad

the point of view-fooled as to her
death. Some one had whispered to
her went the report, that blank cart
ridges instead of real ones would be
used by the firing squad and that later
her body would be smuggled out of
the country. And that was why she
could face those leveled rifles so gayly
Pierre de Mortissac, one of her most
influential adorers and others were
named in the plot to rescue Mata Hari.
But when she lay inert on the ground

Does any one claim this body?" there
was no response.

at the time of Mata Harris trial:
"a member of the cabinet who
signed himself Ny wrote many
love letters to Mata Hari."
Gen. Nivelle and his colleagues
needed badly an alibi for the collapse
of the offensive of Champagne. They
picked on Louis Malvy, minister Of the
interior, as the scapegoat.
HE is the only Ny in the cabi-
nett" was the cry they raised. He
has betrayed us to the Germans through
the dancer spy!"
Malvy was put on trial Four French
premiers testified to his loyalty to
France. But the military clique cried
for his condemnation. They won. The
Senate sentenced him to seven years
Punishment from France.
When the war came to an end Malvy
was amnestied by Premier Herriot and
given a place in his cabinet
But when Malvy faced the Chamber
of Deputies a rhythmic chant came
from the opposition benches.
"Mata Haril Mata Hari! Mata Harl! y
Malvy tried in vain to deny that he
had ever had anything to do with Mata
Hari. But the chant drowned him out.
Seven years of disgrace and suffering
had sapped Malvy's strength and sud-
denly he fell to the floor of the rostrum
in a faint and was carried off.
In despair he finally resigned from
the cabinet.
Several years later woman Jour-
nalist wormed a confession out of one
of the military clique who had driven
Malvy from public life. 1t was Gen.
Messimy, minister of war at the time
the war broke out.
Messimy confessed that he was the

"Water" Telescope.

NORWEGIAN fishermen use the
water" telescope to aid them in
seeing things under water. 1t consists
of water-tight tube, or 6 inches in
diameter fitted at one end with a piece
of plain glass The purpose is to get
rid of ripples and reflections and have
an area Of smooth water through which
to look
1t is easy to make a simple water
telescope from a length of stovepipe,
piece of glass to fit one end and enough
adhesive tape to hold the glass and to
make the joints water-tight A handle
makes the instrument easier to use.
The black color of the stovepipe re-
duceS the amount of reflection and
makes the instrument more effective.
If you have no piece of stovepipe, you
can get the frame of a telescope by
making a box about 18 inches long
with ends of the right size to hold a
small pane of glass. To make the
joints water-tight paint the edges CT
them with white lead before you nail
the boards together, and to improve
the optical qualities of the telescope
paint the inside of 1t black
With such an instrument you can
watch fish and examine the bottom to
a considerable depth of water.

Several nights later the Bay of Bis
cay was in lather Of storm through
which q freighter out of Barcelona was
poking along, her lights blanketed A
sharp lookout was being maintained.
But the sky was fury of wind-piled
clouds, and visibility was bad.
The lookout on the freighter did not
note, therefore, that almost straight in
the path of the boat the snout of a
periscope poked up barely above the
waves. BY this time the freighter was
so near that torpedo would have been
waste; direct fire is cheaper.
From the depths of the bay rose

Speed of Trains.
.IHFN railway beds have Been

WHEN railway beds have been made
w as nearly perfect as possible;
when the lines have been Strengthened
and as far as practicable leveled, and
when the best types of locomotives and
cars have been devised, how fast viii
steam be able to carry us?
An answer to this question, based on
scientific examination of the condi-
tions involved, is furnished by an au-
thority on facts relating to railroads.
One hundred miles an hour is about the
limit Of speed suggested.
Another very important question grow
ing out Of the first Is: Within what dis
tance can train running 100 miles an
hour, or but little less than $50 feet a
second, be stopped? The reply is that
under the most favorable conditions .
distance OF nearly half a mile would be
required A train running mile min
ute can be stopped, 1t is estimated
within a distance of 900 feet. BY ad-
ding only two-thirds to the speed,
therefore. the distance required for
bringing the train to standStill would
be increased almost three times.
1t Is evident that when we are whirled
across the country at the rate of 100
miles an hour "a clear track" VIII be-
come far more important necessity
even than 1t Is today.

And not one but at least 10 such

One of the axiomS in espionage is
that woman cannot very long be
trusted as a spy. This d1Strust is based
not so much on belief in feminine
dishonesty-spy masters have none TOO
much faith in anybody'S integrity-aS
on the fact that woman is more
prone to fall in love with the man she
! is supposed to exploit only for her SUI
periorS. Mata Harris chiefs had no such
uneasinesS on her score. AS said
earlier in this account, she had not
much heart. She got no particular
pleasure out of sending men to their
death; but neither did she feel any
horror.
Occasionally, however, she took a
fancy to man. Such man was a
Russian who at the outbreak OF the
war had enlisted in the French Foreign
Legion and was blinded in one OF the
first engagements, BY some caprice,
Mata Hari developed real tenderness
for him. She wrote him many letters
when they were apart.
But when she followed him to Vittel,
where he was sent to a hospital, her
action was determined less by love
than by the fact that an important
aviation base was developing there.

There will be one exception to this.
Under no consideration are you to ask
the cabinet minister anything in the
way of information. Is this clear?"
He meant was the order clear. 1t
was. What was not so clear to her was
the motive behind it.
Mata Hari had retained throughout
her Dutch citizenship. She found no
difficulty, therefore, in getting into
Paris She was no stranger In that
city, and already a number OF men
powerful with political influence were
impatiently awaiting her promised ar
rival An apartment was ready for her
in Neuilly, and soon court began to
form about Mata Hari, with courtiers
competing for her favor.
It was a member of the French cabi-
net who became court favorite-though
the fact was very little advertised.
Mata Hari obeyed her chiefs order
which she still did not quite under
Standard did not ask her distin-
guiShed favorite anything about the
war.
She made up for this, however, with
her other lovers. She favored the
' fighting branches of the allied forces,
because my husband was q British
officer" she told them. They found
little suspicious, therefore, about her
keen interest in military and naval af-
fairs. She asked questions with an
adroitness taught her in the best spy
schools in the world; and they talked to
her as war worn men on leave so often
talk to seductive women who question
them.
The problem of sending on what
she found out was not hers. For in
stance, one evening she was dining at
Marguery's with an offlcial of the
merchant marine. They were to go on
to a benefit performance later, and
Mata' Hari was in gorgeous decollete.
She was languidly playing with her
closed fan, an opulent creation of
ostrich plumes.
Her partner had found her rather
difficult to please that evening. Then
