NEW LIGHT TESTS

pr. A. A. Nicholson Hopes to
 Better Speed Measure

Washington, July 12 P1Dr. A. A. Nicholson again will measure the incredible speed of light-and this time be hopes to achieve a re- suit in which the probable error is reduced to one part in a million.
 Two years ago. in speed test made between Mount Wilson and Mount Old Badly. the noted Univer- sity of Chicago physicist determined that light in vacuum travelled 1S6, 2S4 miles a second. This means value was held correct within one part in 100000,
 Would Correct Figure
 The famous Nobel prize winner wants to reduce the unvertainty to one-tenth of that figure and the war department has approved an appli- cation of Mount Wilson observatory, Pasadena, Calif.. for permission to ,se part of Ross Flying field for the experiment..
 A straight path. one-half mile long, is available on the field. Along tHe CouISc, tit llSllt VIII De le- flected by mirrors and timed. The resultant speed figure, besides be ing freer from error, will serve as check on previous values.
 Initial steps m the project will be made with the light travelling through air, to test the apparatus, after W hich the plan is to lay down a sheet iron pipe, three feet in length.

RAPS POLICEMEN
 AT SUIT HEARING
Lawyer for Babula Expresses Surprise At Their Testimony

Policemen who testified on behalf of Patrolman James A. Sullivan in city court yesterday in the case Of Sullivan vs Joseph Babula were severely f1ayed by Attorney William M. Harney of Hartford. who int- mated that they were giving testi- mony which was unbelievable.
 The suit grew out of a collision between cars driven by Sullivan ar.I Babula at the corner of Park and Stanley streets on October 19 when both cars were wrecked. several mea slightly injured and the front of a grocery store conducted by l. HOr- witz and known as the New England Market was damaged to such an eX- tent that the court last week award ed Mir Horwitz damages 10 the amount of s171,28 in his suit against Sullivan.
 Sullivan in turn sued Babula for $500 damages, while Babula asked the same amount in a counter ac- tion. Judge Stanley J. Traccski heard the case.
 Sullivan had taken several fellow policemen home after working hours that morning Patrolmen Cotfcy, Bloomquist and McMurray were in the group. McMurray left the group at his home while the others went to the Sullivan home, acCorI- ing to the testimony, for drink Of beer. Sullivan then proceeded to take them home.
 The crash occurred aobut o'clock and the impact was loud enough to awaken sleepers almost a block away. BabuIa's car crashed against an electric pole while Sullivan's smashed into the store window and, according to MT. HorWitz. jared the building.
 Witnesses for both parties swo ? their machines were not going rapid ly. The policemen said they were going l s or 20 miles an hour, while Babula's witnesses said they were in second gear.
 Attorney Harney represented Ra- bula while Attorney l.. J. Colon rep- Resented the policeman.
 Judge Traceski reserved decision.

After three hours of frantic search ing, she had found her child. Shz was crying because she was happy.
 At o'clock last evening. two small boys one nipe and the other five years old, brought young Tommia into the station house. Tommle was lost. He had been trying to cross East Main street at the Elm street intersection. A car had almost run him down. One of the boys snatched him away from the car. Tommie was frightened, 50 frightened that he could not tell the boys where he lived, even if he could talk.
 Small Big Parade" starts
 The boys cogitated. Here was q lost little boy, they thought, Lost little boys are usually taken to ,ha police station. And so they started for the police station.
 Marching bravcly up Commercial street they came, little Tommie' 8 stomach stuck sturdily out in front of him. He was not scared. He only cried once. and that was a very | little bit, Buttsy. the dog belonging to the five year old boy. became loo 1 friendly. Little Tommie does not like friendly dogs-yet
 ! And into the police station they | came. The older hoy, acting as 1 spokesman for the party, told Li"u- i tenant Ramforth all about it. The 1 lad was lost and so they had brought i him 10 the police station. Swelling 1 because of his news, the older boy told all about it.

Dr. MicheIson plans 10 pump the air from the long pipe and have a beam of light reflected back and forth by special mirrors like ball on billiard table.
 A rotating prlsm, operated by a. air turbine and timed by vibrating tuning fork, and series of mir TOTS will cast the beam of light over the accurately measured course. Be- cause the pipe will be evacuated. the errors due to air resistance are expected to be eliminated.
 The prismatic mirror will be eight-sided. When it's rotation is such that the image of the light beam, travelling to the end of the pipe. cast back to one of the facets. and over to the eye of the physicist is stationary. the rays velocity can be calculated from the speed at which the mirror is whirling.
