less about sun spots than the office
cat. When he began his work with
sun spots and weather, most as
tronomers said he vas a fool. Here
Is what IS meant by the scientific
observation of sun spots:
The sun is divided into a north
zone and south zone. These zones
are swept by storms which are
caused by the position Of other
planets in relation TO the sun.
When two or three planets get into
a certain position their magnetic
powers draw in cooperation. This
pull Of their converging magnetic
power causes storms on the sun,
gusts Of flaming gases. Father Rio
ard noticed one popularity, how
ever. The sun storms, known as Jul
spots, in the northern hemisphere
Of the sun always travel from west
to east like the hands Of a clock.
Travelling in the same direction as
the earth travels, they start the
earth currents moving which pro-
vide storms in our world.
In the southern sun hemispheres,
storms travel in the opposite direc-
ton. The magnetic power Of these.
since they are directed to the earth
in the opposition to its motion, halt
the earth current and cause fair
weather.
Because Of the regularity of these
movements, Father Ricard says it is
possible to predict weather for years
in advance.
Predictions could be made al
most without limit" he says. Our
weather is a part Of the illimitable
system of the universe. BY mathe-
MATES we can predict the position
of the planets in relation to the
sun. From that we can predict sun
storms. From the sun storms or
spots we can foretell the earth
storms or at least we will be able
to do so some day.
Predictions sometimes are wrong
because We do not yet understand
the magnetic power of the different
planets. We know these sun spots
have a certain effect, but we do not
know about the effect of the moon,
for instance. The moon has power
enough TO life the weight Of the sea
waters six or sever feet and to
make the tides. 1t must have a
great influence on storm currents.
What this is we do not yet know.
Storms Get Tired
ALSO we have not learned to for
see just which storms will spend
their energy. Storms get tired. This
is. of course, specially interesting TO
the Pacific coast. Storms develop in
the Pacific near the Aleutian is
lands. Some of them apparently
will head toward southern Califor-
MIA and eXpend themselves before
they reach that area.
Local storms, as they strike the
earth are influenced by circum-
stances and special local condi-
tons"
The Father, who was born in Pro-
vence, sits in his cheerful office,
whose shelves are filled with books
on astronomy. He seldom under
takes mathematical calculations as
his strength no longer meets these
demands. He is training two young
Jesuit priests TO do the mechanics
Of his observations.

Soviet Russia Shows
Softening Tendency

MOSCOW, March 15-R-
Sweeping new orders against ar X
cess Of zeal III the collectivization OF
farms, determination Of the rich
peasants and the closing Of churches
have led foreign observers in Mos
COW to believe a more moderate era
In Soviet Russia is at hand.
The Soviet government appears to
have turned toward a less drastic
campaign in bringing about its ul-
innate goal OF socialism, and OBJ
servers look upon this as almost as
important and decisive as the eco
nomic, political and social policies
instituted last year.
They attribute the governments
more lenient attitude toward the
churches to resistance on the part
Of the peasants.
Tension among the non-proleta-
rian elements has eased. In addi-
ton. peasants, street vendors and
small traders who vanished after
the governments previous drive
against private trade are back in
the streets with their slender wares.

Heavy payments came as usual to-

citizens and corporations met the

It's March income tax receipts since
last fall, when an estimate Of $3.50
100000 to cover the total was laid
down In the makeup of the gov
eminent budget. This allowed for
the reduction Of S160. 900 900 in the
corporation and personal income
levy. which congress made at Pres
dent Hoover's suggestion. The out
look was seriously clouded by the
reaction fro mthe stock market coll
lapse of November. which officials
concede may radically alter the
governments revenue. Last years
March installment Of corporate and
personal income tax ran 70 S60i.-
