THIRTY DAY STAY FOR
 HRS. RUTH SNYDER ASKED
Her Lawyer Sends Lengthy Appeal to Governor Smith, Explaining
 Reasons, ..E

New York, Jan. (UP) - The problem of deciding whether Ruth Snyder shall go to the electric chair with Henry Judd Gray as scheduled on Jan. l2 was put up to Governor Smith today. in advance of the elem ency hearing set for tomorrow.
 Edgar F. Hazleton. attorney for Mrs. Snyder. has applied for 30 days stay of execution so he can have doctors of the newer school" of psy- chology demonstrate she is insane.
 Haxleton mailed a ten-page letter to tho governor last night and it should be on his desk in Albany to- day.
 Hazleton pleaded that Mrs. sny- der is % emotionally diseased that. although ''she can comprehend the nature and consequences of her acts, her will is powerless to deter her from courses of conduct that have their roots in her emotional abnor- maities."
 Neither Mrs. Snyder nor Gray. who helped her kill her husband, is normal. Hazleton said. He argued that the four alienists who pronunc- cd Gray mot insane" had compro- missed with their convictions and did not believe him fully responsible.
 Theirs was a crime of two" Hazleton wrote. If Gas I am in- formed the alienists discovered), Gray's association so impaired his

Appropriation of Steo,oe My
 Be Available in Spring
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

BY GEORGE H. MANNING
 Washington Bureau of the N. D. HsralAl
 Washington. D. C., Jan. 4.-Money
 for purchase of land and beginning the extension and remodeling of the
 New Britain post office building will
 doubtless be available early in the spring.
 The appropriations bill for the treasury department. in which an
 appropriation Of $100.O00 will probably be included to start work on the New Britain post office ex- tension, will be reported to the house of representatives the first week in February, it was learned here today. It should not take more than a month for the tbill to pass both houses of Congress, and be ap- proved by the president.
 The bureau of the budget has al- ready asked that $100,000 be appro- priated for the New Britain project in the first line of public buildings appropriations. This puts New Brit ain in the first years program. The total cost of the extension and re- modelling will be $260,000. While the appropriation bill for the treasury department Is intended 1 to provide money for the fiscal year 1929. beginning July 1. 1928, money for public buildings becomes avail- able as soon as 1t Is appropriated. Consequently it is possible that work on the New Britain post office build ing can be started this spring. This means that the senate's talk ativeness in the final days of the sixty-ninth congress postponed ex- tension of the New Britain post of- flee building just one year. Had the senate passed the urgent deficiency bill passed by the house of repre- sentatives toward the end of last session, the work would already be well started in New Britain, as the bill contained an appropriation of $So,000 for New Britain.
 But the determination of Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania to prevent further investigatNus of the Pennsylvania primaries, by which William s. Ware was nominated for the Senate, and the determination of his cousin, Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. to have the senate ex- tend the life of his committee to al- low for the<continuance of these in- vestigations during the summer, caused the deficiency appropriations hill fn hn talked fo death
 The workroom of the New Britain post office is seriously congested. There is only fl square feet of floor space in the workroom for each em- ploye. and the government believes that 100 square feet should be pro- vided for each employe in every post office. The rented space now used will be given up when the extension is completed. and the lobby will be enlarged.

By ROBERT H. BAKER
 Professor of Astronomy, University
 of Illinois,
 Urbana, H., Jan. 2 Rt-Sirius, the Dog Star. brightest of the stars, is now visible throughout the night. On Jan. l 1t rises about ' o'clock in the evening in the southeast, slightly to the left of the point where the sun rises.
 It is readily located by following the line of Orions belt downward. With Betelgeuse. the bright red star in Orion, and Procyon. the Little Dog Star to the left. Sirius completes a conspicuous equilateral triangle.
 When it k near the horizon the Dog Star is specially spectacular object; for as it wrinkles. it flashes prismatic colors. This effect, more noticeable some nights than others, is produced by our atmosphere.
 The Dog Star derives it's name from the constellation Canis Major. the Great Dog. whose stars are mostly below Sirius. Dog days oc- cur at the time of the year, about August in our attitudes, when this bright star rises at sunrise.
 Venus. Jupiter and sometimes Mars are more conspicuous than Sirius. They are planets, not stars at all; they are brighter because they are nearer. Jupiter is now In the southwest in the evening. while Venus may be seen in the east be- fore dawn.
 If all the stars were brought as close to us as the sun, Sirius would appear 26 times brighter than the sun, but it would be outshone by some of the other stars. Its super ority in our skies is owing to its nearness.
 Sirius is in fact one of the nearest stars. Its light requires only eight years to reach the earth. In miles the distance amounts to 47 millions of millions. But there are things in the heavens a mill lion times more remote.
 Sirius is attended by a faint tele- scopic companion at a distance from it 20 times our distance from the sun. and revolving about it once in 50 years. It was discovered. be- fore 1t was seen by the wavy motion it gave to Sirius.
 This companion star recently be- came famous. for it proved to be 1000 times more dense than plati-

mum. Although 1t contains as much material as the sun, it is no larger than one of the planets.
 Matter ordinarily could not be compressed to such density. But at the very high temperature of this star the atoms, which resemble minute solar systems, are torn 10 pieces. so that nothing but a chaotic mass of electrons and protons re- mains; and these are so small that the tremendous compression is pos sible. At least. this is the current idea.
 This unusual star provides one Of the very few available tests of Fin stein's theory. A noticeable displace- ment of it's spectrum toward the red. which the theory predicts in this case, is actually observed. Many astronomers regard it as striking evidence in favor of relativity prin- ciples.

Ml0UVCE VAR, IS
 PEA BY KELLOGG
knaicll Pm lbf World Ptlct : Sdt to FrlDN

Washington. Jan. { M - France has been asked by the state depart msnt to share with tho United States . mission to unite all princi- pal nations in "renouncing war as an instrument of national policy"
 The proposal for joint leadership, springing from tho suggestion of Foreign Minister Briand for a Franco-American treaty outlawing war. is put forward by Secretary Kellogg as offering opportunity for q ''more signal contribution to world peace by joining in an effort to obtain the adherence of all of the principal powers of the world" in . renunciation of war.
 With the offer to France went a draft treaty to replace the Root ar bitration treaty which expires next February e7. Its preamble includes a proposed declaration against re- sort to war. and copies of it have been sent to the British and Jap anese governments. It will be sent to all other powers with which this country has Root treaties and will serve as a model on which the state department hopes to base multi lateral pacts of perpetual friend ship.
 Mr. kellogg's offer is in the na- ture of a counter suggestion to the npin Apaf otSy xnrh tn1, that France and America condemn recourse to war and agree to set clement by pacific means of all dis putes between them. Offering the substitute proposal in a note to the French government. Secretary Kel- iogg said the two governments, in- stead of contending themselves with bi-lateral declaration against war, might better serve world peace by uniting all other powers in the same cause with similar treaties.
 ''Tf the government of France is willing to join with the government of the United States in this en- deavor," MT. Kellogg wrote, and to enter with the United States and other principal powers of the world into an appropriate multi-lateral treaty, l shall be happy to engage at once in conversations looking 10 the preparation of a draft treaty following the lines suggested by M. Briand for submission by France and the United States jointly to other nations of the world"
 Ambassador Claudel has dis cuMed the peace treaty suggestions with Secretary Kellogg and at fu- ture conferences doubtless will be able to quickly clear up questions raised in Paris concerning phases of the substitute offered for the Root arbitration pact These ques- tions are understood to concern the future status of the treaty in the event the American senate would refuse to ratify an arbitration award. and the exact consequences of the American reservation which would exclude from arbitration dis putes involving third party.
