The great remotenesS and eX-
cessive smallness of the new
celestial object, as we'll as the
extreme elongation of its orbit,
makes it extremely difficult, If
not impossible, at present to de-
termine whether it really is a
planet.
The theory upon which the
late Perciva Lowell proceeded
was that the new planet which
he predicted would appear at
one or the other of two posi-
tions in the heavens, because of
the perturbation it caused in
the orbit of Uranus.
Not only is the new object
excessively faint, but is far too
small to cause the perturbation
in the orbit. Even were it twice
the mass of the earth. this would
not account for any apprecia-
BILE disturbance in the path OF
Uranus.
Radio waves travel at the rate
of some 5,876, 386,704. 900 miles
in year. 1t would take a
radio wave about six hours and
fourteen minutes to reach the
new planet, which is said to be
about 4,000,OO0.000 miles away
from the earth.
1t is an extremely dim object,
beyond doubt, and Slipper has
estimated that, in order to be
visible to the naked eye, it
would have to be 1000 times as
bright.
1t will have to be observed sys-
tematlcally for years IN order to

AIR HISTORY IS

LAKEHURST, n. j., Jan. 81. U.p)
A glider piloted by Lieutenan,
Ralph s. Barnaby slipped away from
the navy dirigible Los Angeles to-
day at an altitude of 1900 feet and
made successful flight over the
naval air station here.
Barnaby is the only licensed glid.

The flight was the first of its
Kind in history Shortly before II
q. IN. the Los Angeles rose from the
field, accompanied by the entire
fleet of the lighter than air craft
at the l.akehurst station. Weather
conditions were ideal.
About three quarters of an hour
later, the Los Angeles had nosed its
way to an altitude of 5000 feet,
while the rest of the fleet flew in
formation. Barnaby clambered into
the glider which was suspended from
the Los Angeles keel amidships and
the plane was released by mechan-
ism similar to that used in bomb
dropping.
The glider, which has wing span
of only 33 feet, slipped from the
great bag and Barnaby put it into
series of - wide circles over the
field as he descended.
He made perfect landing on the
snowcovered field, l3 minutes after
leaving the dirigible.

JONES DlSPELLS ANY DOUBT AS

were many who predicted that the
strain at Interlachem would prove
too great for him. The competition
in last weeks championship was
considered vastly stronger than
that overcome by Jones at lloylake,

they took his dust.

Except for Mae Donald Smith, the

which none in the future will equal
unless new BOBBY Jones is

The goal ahead is the national

only man who ever held four major
titles in single year Records

suspect. He was disgruntlcd after

hadn't made 66. He was annoyed
when he turned in a total of PSI
for his four championship rounds
because that was one stroke behind
the record of 2S6 hung up by Chick
