Last Half of Night Best.
The last half of the year and the last
half of the night is the best time to see
meteors The annual arrival of the
very numerous perseids is due about
August II. In mid-November, particu-
larry the 14th, some leonids will appear.
The leonidS are the meteor swarms that
for centuries, about each 80 years, have
furnished a shower like rain of stars.
They missed this earth in 1899. They
are due again in 1882 or 1893, and
astronomers believe the earth already
is near enough to the edges of this
swarm for there to be noticeable in
crease of meteors about November
Astronomers are so few that they miss
most of the meteors, but DR.. Olivier says

MOSCOW, July 20 LP).-Jan E
Rudzutak. acting head Of the Soviet
government, told the Associated Press
today it was not necessary for Secre-
tary Stimson to remind the Moscow

Of the Kellogg anti-war pact.

M. Rudzutak said: Despite China s
present provocative attitude, her viola
ton of the treaty vesting equal control
Of the Chinese Eastern Railway in us,
and her repeated invasions of the rights
of Soviet citizens we shall not take any
military action against her unless China
invades our territory and forces us TO
take defensive measures.
When we solemnly signed the Kellogg
pact Is was not gesture. We believe
intensely in peace. The Kellogg pact is
one OF the best means of enforcing it.
Mr.. Stimson need not remind US of our
adherence to that pact.
Il repeat, unless the Chinese govern
ment commits warlike act we shall
stand loyalty by that treaty"

NEWLABORP PLAN
WEIGHED IN MEXICO
Proposed Reform Regarded

MEXICO CITY, July 20.-The Mex
lean congress meeting today In extraor-
binary session to discuss the projected
labor law drawn up by President Portes
Gil last year when he was secretary OF
the interior, has in its hands one OF
the outstanding works Of the revolution
and what has been described as perhaps
the greatest legislative initiative Of the
late Gen. Aware Obregon.
President Portes Gil disclaims any
major credit for the project, explaining
he merely put into black and white the
ideas of Gen. Obregon, constituting an
innovation calculated to guarantee to
the working classes the living and labor
ing conditions that the revolution has
promised them.
Observers see In the new labor code
an experiment of world interest second
in its radical departures from precedent
only to certain legislative measures
adopted in Communist Russia. OPINION
Is divided as to the results 1t will bring,
but all agree that what ever they may

the present world tendency toward
emancipation of labor.
Some Changes Made.
Several months ago the plan was sub
mitted to a mixed conference Of workers
and employers, undergoing some
changes, which, however, did not In
clude noteworthy alteration of the prin-
cipal chapters.
The project provides for creation OF
a system of labor courts with branches
in all parts of the country, the courts to
be made up of representatives OF en-
ployers and workers and presided over
by especially qualified labor judges"
joint committees of employers and
employed in the individual factories
would endeavor to solve labor disputes
in their particular units of national in
dustry. Upon failure Of these commit
tees, or in cases of disputes involving
the personnel or more than one factory
the matter would come before district
labor court, then state and finally q
national or supreme court OF the kind
Many Provisions.
This is the most salient point set
forth in the initiative to come before
Congress, but there are others also OF
extraordinary importance. For instance
the law would give the government the
right to conscript labor III time of emer-
gency, would oblige every Mexican citi-
zen to learn trade or profession, would
establish compulsory insurance fol
workers, paid partly by the worker out
of his wages and partly by the employer
on a percentage basis as the workers
share in the concerns profits, and
would give protection and care to wom-
an workers on occasion of childbirth
STIMULATING that for a certain period
preceding such an event the woman
employe be given only light work ano
for a certain period afterward she bt
allowed a vacation at full pay.
The new law would give the worker:
a voice in business management through
committees, which would cooperate
with the management in matters con-
nected with the progress and prosperity
of the concern.

volunteers can gather readily valuable

prepared to interpret.
ANY meteor larger than a star Of
first magnitude is worth reporting" says
the invitation to the public. What is
desired most Of all is the meteor's ap-
parent path across the sky. The stars
and consultations serve as ready refer
ence points and the observer should fix
the meteor's course among them with
all the precision at his command. The
hour. minute. and If possible the second
of the meteor'S appearance should be
reported. AS mechanical aid in fixing
the course many observers find a
straight ruler or stick very helpful. The
moment a meteor is seen the ruler is
held at arms length parallel to the ex-
act path among the stars.
If a train is visible, 1t should be re-
ported, with its duration, which some
times amounts to several minutes. Like
wise sounds Of explosion, If any, should
be described and timed. The reports
should be mailed to the American Me-
teor Society, Flower Observatory, Uni
