DRINCE CAROL of Rumania
L should make a good subject
for the psychologists. He is the
best living example of tie perversity
complex. 1t is not on record that
he ever did anything which other
people wanted or expected.
First he showed his contempt for
the royal prerogative by marrying
a morganatic wife. 1t was de-
scribed at the time as a war ro-
nance, and as proving Prince
Carols democratic leanings.
Two years later, he decided that
a morganatic wife was not what
he wanted after all, and, having
put her aside, married Princess
Helene of Greece. This was ac-
cepted as good evidence that he had
sown his wild oats and returned
to normally.
About the time people were
learning to forget Prince Carol as
just an ordinary specimen of the
royal breed, he upset their oalcu-
lations by renouncing his rights to
the throne as well as his wife, and
running away with Nine. Lupescu.
When his father, King Ferdinand
of Rumania died. he concluded
that occupying a throne, with all
expenses paid, might not be SO bad
after all, and let it be known that
he would consider the idea Of
reconciliation with Princess Helene.
He even went so far as to tenn
porarily separate himself from Nine.
Lupescu.
Encouraged by this show Of good
faith, certain Rumanian politicians
started a movement in his behalf,
but only to see it blown up by re-
ports that Prince Carol and the
madame were together again. Then
came the peasant uprising of few
weeks ago, and once more Prince
Carol began to f1irt with the idea
of taking the Rumanian throne
away from his own little son. His
efforts might have proved serious
had the British not asked him to
get out of the country.

Dr. Hale established the magnetic nature Of the
sun-spots by brilliant observational work.
1t had been known for many years that the light
from any source can be spread out into a rainbow
or spectrum by passing it through prism and that
the resulting spectrum would be marked with series
of lines depending upon the nature of the source Of
light.
1t had been shown further that when strong mag
net is brought near the of light the resulting
spectrum lines are all split into double lines. This
effect was called the zeenan effect for the scientists
who first observed it,
Hale showed that when a spectroscope was so ar
ranged as to analyze the light coming from a sun
spot that the lines split into double ones In
other words sun-spots gave the zeeman effect This
could only be interpreted as proving that the sun
spots were magnetic in nature
1t is known that much of the material in the outer
layers of the is in electrified ionized state
The motion of such electrified material in the whirl
pools of the sun-spots would generate a magnetic
field in the way that magnetic field is gener-
ated when an electric current flows through coil
of wire.
Hale also showed that the sun-spots varied in po-
arty, some of them showing north polarity and
others south polarity.
Intense study of the polarity of sun-spots is now
carried on at the Mt. Wilson Observatory and at
other obseryatories expected that this eventually
will throw light the origin of sun-spots and in
turn upon magnetic phenomena on earth.

Race to Span Ocean

The way women are taking the
lead, especially in activities which
call for courage and ability is not
the least remarkable phase Of this
generation.
In spite of the fact that three
have gone down in the Atlantic,
women aviators are undismayed
Two are dancing around on tae
coast right now, waiting for the
weather to clear and give them q
chance to gamble with death for
the honor of Being first of their sex
to cross the ocean.
Is it case OF nerves, or of honest
to-goodness heroism which makes
these women deliberately bold, or
have they come to point where
they cannot think of anything else
to do.
The history of the Friendship and
its indirect ranif1cations leave one
in doubt.

piety. which naturally inclined him
to religious subjects; time and again
he made Madonnas, Alterations,
Holy Families, Immaculate Con-
ceptions and pictures Of the saints;
and he portrayed the infancy of
Christ with a tenderness that makes
him uncongenial to an unsenti-
mental age.
Doubtless there is something naive
in Murillo; his early return to
ecclesiastical Seville shut him out
from the varied influences that
would have strengthened and
deepened him. 1t is the fashion to
scorn him now, because his work is
too even and finished for the mod
ern taste, which loves brusque
bizarreries; but his is the style to
which we revert when the eccentric
attitudes of our day and art have
lost for us that novelty which we
mistake for beauty.

Farm Bill Is Problem

TINE bitter pre-convention Re-
A publican fight over the NC
Nary Haugen farm relief bill, in
which the Lowden-Dawes allies are
trying to knock out Hoover, leaves
the Kansas City convention with
only two choices.
1t can oppose McNary-H augenisr1
as frankly as President Coolidee's
veto message did, and risk throw
ing the farm fringe vote and
election to the Democrats. Or ~
can rewrite the historic farmers
friend" plank without being specific
about the promised panacea.
This compromise plank is the
probable one. According to the
Lowden-Dawes group, the conven-
ton must write frank McNary-
Haugen plank. But that is to
assume that Coolidge will permit
the convention to repudiate his ad-
ministration-which seems almost
impossible.
The Democrats, as the McNary-
Haugen vote in Congress showed.
are also divided on this farm re-
lief issue.

Rivalry Lends Color

The Friendship was bought by the
daughter of a former British air
minister who thought she would like
to fly the ocean with Wilmer Stultz
as pilot, but gave up the venture, as
it is said, because of the i'm
portunities of her friends. leaving
the way open for Amelia Earhart.
Meanwhile, Miss Mabel Boil had
negotiated with Charles A. Levine
for the Columbia, with the idea of
getting Wilmer Stultz as pilot, and
seemed to be much surprised and
shocked when she learned that he
would ride with Miss Earhart.
She found another pilot as well as
a navigator, and now waits anxious
ly for a chance to hop off from
Curtiss Field, while Miss Earhart
endures the same strain at
Trepassey.
The rivalry between these two
women adds spice to a. venture
which contains thrills enough and
risks enough, without the element
of personal competition.

FightS ROYAL Divorce

Having put up with more than
any wife ought to, and more than
most wives would, Princess Helene
decided that it was time to get a
divorce, and instituted proceedings.
In any other country, except Ru-
mania, she would have no trouble.
According to the law Of most coun-
tries, Prince Carol has furnished
her with every conceivable ground
for divorce, but it is not so easy in
Rumania, especially when a royal
husband objects, and that is Prince
Carols latest idea. He is prepared
to fight legal separation, dispatches
say, to the limit, though for what
reacon, except to show his mean
ness, it is hard to saw.

Prohibition Big Issue

DROHIBITION is perhaps the
Il only national issue of the mo-
ment, in the sense that most citi-
zens in all parts of the country feel
strongly about the subject on one
side or the other. 1t is much more
national issue now than four years
ago, or even one year ago, because
alleged failure of enforcement, de-
spite excuses of prohibition officers

poets has increased wet sentiment.
This in turn has rallied the drys in
defense.

Symbolized by Andrew Mellon an
eY-distiller, who, as Secretary of the
treasury for seven years, has been
directly in charge of prohibition en-
forcement.
Mellon and the other party man
ayers, whether wet or dry. are in
the business of getting votes and
therefore are trying to hit upon a
plank acceptable to both sides.
The same is true, of course. of the
much advertised wet and probable
Democratic candidate, AL Smith
Smith is already Ssoft-pedalingp his
wetness in the interest of party har-
many at the Houston convention

Therefore the only likely differ
ence between the Republican and
Democratic prohibition planks IS
that both will declare for law en-
forcement while the Democrats will
deplore the Republican enforcement
record.

KEEPING UP
With
THE NE WIS
BY LUDWELL DENNY


a COLORLESS compromise Re-
n publican platform is in prospect
as result of the gre wing split in
the party gathering at Kansas City.
Not that it matters much. For
better or for worse, the minority of
American people who split tickets
and control elections have come to
vote for persons rather than plat
forms, and the candidate and party
elected usually ignore most of their
pre-convention pledges.
OF all the arguments heard for
and against measures in Congress
during the four-year interims be-
tween national elections, appeals to
the forgotten platforms rarely are
made and almost never acted upon.
Only two kinds. of parties can af-
ford the luxury Of frank platform
"a party that is so weak it has no
chance Of winning a majority vote
anyway, or a party so strong and
United that is victory IS assured.
An example Of the former is the
La Toilette third party of four
years ago. An example Of the lat
ter is the Republican party four and
eight years ago.
Not that the Harding and Cool
ldge platforms were models of
frankness-except compared with
what the Republican planks this
year will be, This year there has
to be more Republican straddling

let and industrial unemployment,

What is the record of Pete Latzo,
the welterweight boxer, and how. did
he get his start?
He was born "a years ago and of
Slavic descent. He has been boxing
for about eight years, and comes of
a family of ring fighters, his
brothers Mike, Joe and steve having
been prize fighters before him, al
though neither of them has been
a champion. Latzo lives in Scran-
ton, Pa, where he formerly worked
in the coal mines. He was married
six months before winning the
championship from Mickey Walker,
May 20, 1926. He got his start in
the ring by accident. He substi-
tuted in a local bout for a fighter
who failed to show up and adopted
the name of Young Clancy for a
time. During the last four years
he has fought about 100 bouts, and
has been knocked out only once.
WHAT Is the distinction between
"gOndOla cars" hopper" cars and
FIAT" cars?
A "gondola" car is one with low
sides secured by stanchions to a
platform body. Sometimes the sides
are hinged to the body. They are
usually employed to transport lum-
Der, etc. A hopper car is specially
designed to carry coal, gravel, sand,
etc. 1t resembles the hopper of a
mill and is built so that the con-
tents will slide down tie sloping
sides when the trap at the bottom
is released. "A fiat" car has merely
platform without sides or top.

very important. No one can dc

After a few plays, Lincoln made
first down. Next play they made
nothing, and were forced to punt.

sent out a new ruling passed by
the Puget Sound League.
1t is as follows: Every school
should check every athlete par

by means of slip sent around TO
each of his classes. If this slip
shows that student is not pass
ing in three subjects at the end OF
la certain week, the student is
allowed to participate that partic-

lowed to play the following week
This does not give any the chance
to make up a failure. If the repor,
shows that he is not passing in
three subjects, he is automatically

where Merritt Corbin recovered il

made Che first touchdown for

This tied the score 6 to 6.
Once more Lincoln chose to re-

few yards. Then Union started an
aerial attack, but the half ended
with Union in possession of the
ball on the II yard line.
In the second half, Union again
