From Earth to Sun

The distance between the earth, and
sun varies from something more than
81 100000 miles to something more
than 94.WOM0. The mean distance Is
calculated to be about 92.SOo,0O0. The
earth is nearest the sun In curly Janu-
airy and farthest away In early July.
That the distance has nothing TO do
with the seasons may be seen from
the fact that while 1t Is winter In the
northern hemisphere, 1t Is summer in
the southern. The real reason for the
seasonal changes Is the fact that the
eurth's axis Is at an angle (23h de-
grees) with relation to its path around
the sun. AT that season of the year
when our northern hemisphere Is
tipped toward the sun. Its rays fall
more directly upon us. and we have
summer.

Radio Idea Old

Radio communication Is not an in
yention,. nor In reality n discovery.
The theory was known long before
anybody was able to apply II In prac'
tice. Numerous inventors were try
ing to devise apparatus thu would
make the theory work. For This rea-
son, several different practical sys-
tens of wireless biography appeared
about the same time. Marconl had
the good fortune 70 he first, but he
distanced his nearest competitors BY
only short time. 1t was only by ac-
cdent that electrical communication
by wire was perfected before electri-
cnl communication without wires. as
both are implied In the electrical
knowledge that preceded them. and In
sentors were working in both fields
for many years before anybody In
either group succeeded.

Humors Are Hormonea

Another belief OF the uldtilne doc
tors has been upheld. What they
called ''humors' III the blood has
proved to be the modern "horInones"
which are secreted from certain duct
less glands and not from the heart
and liver as once believed The old
time dotors claimed the disposition Of
their patients and some Of their Ills
were due to these "humors." Scien-
lists now admit that they were not
far wrong and declare that the "hor-
mones" play an enormously important
part in determining the disposition Of
an individual.

oldest Radio Station
in Virrinia GRAVEYARD

There are many strange radio sta
lions in the world, but one of the
strangest, perhaps. is the station that
is located in graveyard. The re-
deeming feature of the whole thing is
the fact that II is not human but
ship graveyard.
Anchored In the James river near
Fort Eustis, Va, are some 200 ships
Of the Emergency Fleet corporation.
Built for use In the time of the war
and now of no use to the government,
they are tied up awaiting sale, or
death by decay. Tied up In 10 units
of % ships each. they spread out over
this historic river for some five miles.
When the high winds blow down the
river the boats occasionally break
away from their units and 90 drifting
down the river, menace 10 nayiga-
ton. Also, when the high winds blow.
the little land phone line that runs to
Yorktown Is carried away. 1t is In
times like this that the radio station,
which is located on the flagship Of the
fleet. comes into operation. A call is
sent to the navy yard ut Newport
News and tugs are dispatched to re-
turn the refractory boat to the fold.
Even In calm weather the transmit
ter gets an occasional workout by
transmitting messages received by
phone from the Yorktown mine depot
to the navy yard. Fort Eustls, near
which this peculiar little station Is To-
cated, is also the home base Of the
only railway artillery unit In the
United States army.

never given better work to role. It
is shaded SO finely, restrained where
needed and flamboyant where the
characterization demanded express

Dorothy Mackaill is co-starred as
the girl Lou. She plays the part with
just the proper degree of abandon

Washington, Jan. 16.-Chile and

two wrinkles vaguely suggestive of
its operation in some parts of the
United States.

Forms of prohibition exist around
the mines and nitrate fields, theoret-

but only theoretical. The poor roto
population has been inclined to go in
for heavy drinking. resulting in sadly
inefficient Mondays.
The new government has under

American copper companies for curb

IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 16.-Sixth avenue is
the poor relation of two of the worlds
most famous highways. It lives be-
tween them in SecOnd-rate quarters;
its heels are bit run over and its
stockings reveal long runs.
On one side is the aristocratic, high
priced and elegant Fifth avenue. On
the other are the raucous, merry.
theatrical and zestful Seventh avenue
and Broadway.
And like many poor relation,
Sixth avenue lives off the crumbs
that drop from either table. Also it
makes those pretensions which might
be expected of one SO closely related.
c1 one hand, to Fifth avenue and. on
the other, to Seventh avenue or
Broadway. Sometimes it feigns
swankiness and sometimes it attempts
the theatrical. But it lacks the taste
Of the aristocrat and the flair of the
jazzsome. It achieves a splendid
mediocrity.
To be sure, its windows are filled
with fur coats-but they are imita-
tions of it's Fifth avenue kin. The
shop girl who looks wistfully through
the panes feels tha. she can ape her
demonstrating sisters. And the
windows tell her that she can do this
by paying $40 down and mortgaging
her salary for a year.
Even the pawnShops. which are fire.
quent. reveal wares of better cal
iber than most. These pawnshops
are handy to the Fifth avenue and
the Broadway 'fourflushers, as well
as those who have fallen upon evil
days and need few easily achieved
dollars.
Sixth Avenue, of all the midtown
streets Of Manhattan, has most per-
sistently defied the intrusion Of archi-
tectural flourishes and furbelows, typ
ical OF the changing times. It's build
ings are as squat and squalid as any
to be found on a venerable Main
street. Old notion stores can be
found In profusion: clock shops where
persistent birds leap out in intermit-
tent "cuckoos":: green grocers and
handttnted china of the sort one had
forgotten; those cheap art shops
where q forlorn-looking painter sits

Fifth avenue smartness and then an
oyster house; sandwich bars and
hamburger counters: cheap auction
rooms and shooting galleries: penny

gents haberdasheries with clothes cut
IN the ultra Broadway fashion, and
windows showing the most ultra Of
French wax models. So it goes, in an
alluring. fantastic mixture "a sort of
