copies of "Uncle Sham," book from India purporting to expose vice and corruption in America. They called is obscene" Efforts were made to explain to he customs serv- ice that even vilification of Amerl- can life didn't constitute "obscen- ity. The point was finally percelVd and the book comes in.
 The last major exploit of the post office solicitor, Horace J. Donnelly' was the trial of Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett in New York for mailing her widely recommended sex hygiene pamphlet. One of Mir. Donneilys s assistants had acted as an agent provocateur by writing to Mrs. Den- nett for copy. When she was kind enough to comply she was plnched
 bv the post office inspectors. Don
 nelly also ruled "The Well of Lono- liness" was unfit for mailing and there is still a feverish demand for
 it at every circulating library in the
 country. Two or three years ago he kicked an issue of the American
 Mercury from the mails because It Icontained the article 'Hatrack. Copies of the magazine promptly advanced to premium. From tlm2
 to time he pounces on some college
 funny magazine for printing 3
 naughty picture, invariably causing an unsuitable news stand demand.
 Last year an Italian newspaper 1T
 New York had an editorial attack
 ing the Fascist Italian representative
 at an aviation conference in Wash
 ington. The post office departmen , promptly banned it.
 Donnelly watches the envelopes closely. When some appeared wit
 stickers inscribed Protest Agains } Marine Rule in Nicaragua he ban | ned them promptly under the law , provision against "libelous, = obscen t and lascvious" matter.
 , The customs boys last burst int
 large type when they banned Gan
 dide" the classic by Voltaire. Flo this they received such unremittin i. raspberries that after few month q they decided "Candide" could com & in. Most bookstores have alway s carried it in stock. On other re |, cent occasions such works as Boo q caccio, Rosseau. Balzac and tn
 Arabian Nights have been denie

 v Of course the people of Washing ,' ton need not worry about the po l. office and customs censorships. TT 0 banned books are almost invarlab '' to be found on the shelves of tf ,.9 library of congress.

SLASH IN ARMY.
AVIATION UNDER
ECONOMY MOVE
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Omitted Press Staff CorreSpondent)

WASHINGTON, July 30.U.R -
Army aviation may bear consider
able portion of the reduction in eX-
penditures of the war department
under the new Hoover economy pro
.ject, it was indicated here today.
Secretary of War Good and gen
eral staff officers who have sur
veyed the situation found that the
air corps cost about 100000 Il year
before the World war. Now If
costs $50,000,00O. Navy aviation
also is receiving a large annual ap-
propriation.
Secretary Good recently went on
record in defense of army reserve
activities, including those of the ma
tional guard, c. Nj. T. c., and r. 0,
T. G. He indicated these activities
the great increase of which is res
ponsible for much of growing ex-
penses, could not be reduced
Remaining possibilities of drastic
reduction include delay in making
expenditures under the army hous-
ing and aviation programs, elimi'
nation OF obsolete branches, and re
duction of military activities at IN
terror posts which are now of lit
tie strategic importance.

PASADENA, Calf, July 30. W.R
AS the result of the fight Actors
Equity Association is making to
force the closed shop in Hollywood
motion picture studios, Paramount
has been denied the use of tourna-
ment park for scenes in q forth

new SPOT ON
SUN STUDIED
BY SCIENTISTS

PASADENA, Calef., July 30.U.P)
A sun spot, strong enough to
cause serious magnetic storms on
earth, is under observation by scien-
fists at the Mount Wilson Obscr-
vatory, it became known here today.
During the past week, according
to DR.. Seth Il. Nicholson, observer,
spots have affected scientific and
telegraph Instruments and caused
brilliant electrical displays in the
earth s atmosphere in some parts of
the world.
The present spot, it was said, is
only about one third as intense as
one which affected instruments on
July I, 1928, but has an unusually
strong magnetic field.
1t was explained that the spots
are caused by masses of hot gases
shooting up from the sun 5 interior,
revolving rapidly while rising to the
surface. The cooling at the surface
OF the sun results in black spots
which are visible to astronomers.
The spot now under observation
is $4,000 miles long and 10000 miles
wide 1t is located l6 degrees south
of the suns equator and has an in
tensity of 1000 gauzzes, the mea-
sure by which magnetic energy is
calculated.
Dr. Nicholson said he expected
the spot to affect the earth's at
mosphere again on August l. after
a lull which now is in force,
