Max Won't Fight Again,
He Says, for a Year
Rv IAMES .. KILGALLEN


NEW YORK, June 13 1N.S0
Max Schmeling, Of Germany
newly crowned heavyweight cham.
pion Of the world, will not defend
his title until next June, his
manager, Joe Jacobs, declared in
an interview this afternoon. He
said he would be pleased II
Schmeling's opponent will be
Jack Dempsey.
Schmeling, who was present IN
his suite at the Commodore dur
ing the interview, delegated
Jacobs to do most of the talking.
The new champion was in .
happy mood, said he "felt fine.
and experienced no Ill effects
from the alleged foul blow dealt
by Jack Sharkey in the closing
seconds Of the fourth round OF
their dramatic battle in Yankee
Stadium last night.
Many Good Offers
Numerous offers promising
heavy financial returns, including
an exhibition tour of Europe, will
prevent Schmeling from fighting
again before next summer, &C
cording to Jacobs.
Sharkey, meanwhile, was in Sc.
clusion. He was said to be in.
co1solable over having blown the
title when he had it within his
grasp.
Schmeling went to see the mo-
tion pictures of the fight today
at the Earl Carroll Theater. A
crowd Of 5000 persons assembled
at the house and cheered him as
he entered. He was very demo
cratic, shaking hands with many
of his admirers. He was attired
in a natty gray suit, blue tie and
wore a gray handkerchief in his
breast pocket. In his coat lapel
was the emblem of the German
National Boxing Federation.
Claim Proof BY Film
The motion pictures Of the
bout showed, according to both
Schlneling and Jacobs, that the
low blow--a wild right hook
was struck by Sharkey in the
fatal fourth. They said the film
shows Jack started the hook
from near his hip after ducking
a left lead for the head by Max.
Schmeling had no comment to
make on the report that william
Muldoon, veteran member Of the
New York State Athletic Com
mission, had stated Max would
not be recognized as heavyweight
champion by the committee in
charge of the Muldoon- -Tunney
Trophy. Muldoon was quoted as
saying Schmeling's name would
not be engraved on the trophy.

studies of plant and animal behavior

Plan to Produce Measurements.
Profound effects on the life process
might be expected from splitting up
the spectrum and giving plant and
animal organisms different mixtures OF
wave lengths or subjecting them en-
tirely to light from one color range of
the spectrum. The Smithsonian work
ers, under the direction of DR.. Charles
@. Abbot, secretary of the institution,
plan to produce and make exact meas
urements of these effects.
The tomatoes were grown in ordinary
white light" but the solution-filled
jars were constantly rotated on revolv-
ing platforms In a chamber with re-
hecting walls, so that all parts of the
plants would have constantly uniform
radiation conditions. Later the same
experiments will be conducted in SIM
liar rejecting chambers with different
combinations of light.
One of the first light effects being
studied is the curious phenomenon
known as phototropism, the innate
tendency of plants to lean toward the
sun in their growth. In some plants,
such as sunfiowers, whose blooms follow
roughly the course of the sun through
out the day, this is so conspicuous as to
suggest deliberative behavior.
The explanation generally accepted,
it was explained by DR.. Johnston, ex-

plains the phenomenon by the d1nerenC
degrees of growth stimulation anoroed
by different combinations OF light. Inc
dark" side of the plant Is receiving q
light combination with undue proper
tons of red and infra-red raoiation
which tends to stimulate the growth OF
the cells on that side. The side turned
toward the light is receiving much more
of the blue and violet radiation, which
tend to retard growth. The cells on the
Tight" side grow slower and smaller,
with the result that the plant is bent
over in that direction. &
Reacts to Shorter Light Waves.
Now 1t might be concluded that the
phenomenon was due simply to the fact
that one side received less light than
the other. regardless OF the nature OF
the radiation. The Smithsonian studies
show that this is not true. II plant
leaned only In the direction OF the
greatest intensity of light, regardless OF
quality, it would be expected TO grow
straight if radiation of equal intensity
was directed at both sides, producing
a pull of equal strength in each direc-
ton. This Is not the case. When one
side is placed in the path of red radia-
ton of exactly equal intensity to q
green or blue coming from the opposite
direction, It still leans away from the
red. 1t cannot escape reacting to the
retarding effects Of the shorter light
waves.
The effects of the pull Of different
light combinations are being studied
with extraordinarily delicate mocha

TOMATOES GROWN
WITHOUT EARTH
Smithsonian Experiment Af-
fords Glimpse of AgricuI-
ture of Distant Future.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Big red tomatoes ready for the table
have been grown entirely without soil.
Ripe vegetables produced in the labora-
tory, perhaps affording an initial
glimpse of the synthetic agriculture OF
q distant future, when man will not
depend on the vagaries Of Mother Earth
for food, have resulted from the pre-
liminary work Of division established
at the Smithsonian Institution to study
the obscure and complicated relations
between living things and light.
Extraordinarily delicate instruments
are being set up to study some of the
most subtle processes of the mechanics
of life itself
The tomato plants were literally
Matched In an incubator. The seeds
were first sprouted between two sheets
of moist plotting paper kept at con-
slant temperature. When root growth
started, the tiny plants were inserted
in cork shoppers, through which holes
had been bored approximately the size
of q full-grown tomato stem. They
were so placed that all the root system
was suspended below the cork, while
side. The seedlings were held in place
in the corks by loose cotton packing.
Roots Immersed in Solution.
The corks were then placed in two
quart jars so that the roots were i'm
mersed In solution of calcium nitrate,
magnesium sulphate and nonopotas
stun phosphate, which is approximately
the mixture ordinary plants derive from
the soil. The plant, which feeds
through its roots, can take nothing
from the soil except in solution, it was
explained by DR.. Earl S. Johnston
Smithsonian associate. In the labora-
tory 1t does not have to depend on the
elements, such as rain and sunshine,
to prepare the solution from the chemi-
cal constituents of the soil. It has
q constant and plentiful supply ready
to eat at all times.
The next step is to place the jars
in q constant temperature chamber,
regulate the light supply, and watch
the plants grow. The second Is the i'm
portant step in the Smithsonian pro-
gram. For life on earth Is directly
dependent on three things-the food
which 1t devours and transforms In
part into its own substance, the atmos-
phere it breatheS and the light radia-
ton which makes possible the obscure
complex Of chemical and physical re-
actions known as the process OF living.
Now from the beginning this process
has taken place In sunlight or close
approximations of sunlight Life has
adjusted itself to the fairly constant
combination of wave lengths of light,

during exposure, affecting the thermo-
couple juncture, record indirectly the
intensity of the original light itself.
The varying density of the silver Is re-
corded within extremely narrow linz
its by the record on moving drum
kept in operation In synchronism with
the motion Of the plate being analyzed.
Thus two of the most delicate instru-
ments known to science have been COM
bined in this effort to pry into the in
nermost secrets of the strange phenom-
enon of living"
But DR.. Bracket is going even fur
ther than this In setting up an instru-
ment by which the Photographic plate
will be dispensed with altogether and
the light intensity as 1t comes through
the spectroscope measured, directly re-
corded on a moving drum by gal
vanometer attached to the thermocou-
pie. This will enable him to detect and

ing due to the silver of the silver bro
mide plate Is not sufficiently accurate
for the Smithsonian experimenters So
light Is passed through the photo
graphic plate thence falling upon q
thermocouple, another of modern sci
ences most delicate instruments, by
which 1t has been possible to measure
the exact temperature of planets mil
lions Of miles away in space almost as
accurately as would be possible with a
thermometer placed on the planet It
self. The thermocouple is simply
junction of two rare elements SO sensi-
tive that any change in the heat falling
upon the juncture point sets up meas
urable electric current.
So. in the instrument set up by Dr.
F. S. Bracket of the Smithsonian staff
the heat variations of the light passing
through different thicknesses of silver
which had been piled up by the light
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-16

measure light waves entering into any
combination to which any Photographic
plate yet devised Is insensitive.
The silver-bromide plate is sensitive
to the entire spectrum from the ex-
tremely short invisible X-rays down
through all the ranges of visible light.
But photography can penetrate only q
short way into the invisible infra-red
at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Only within the past year has it been
possible to take photographs at the ex-
treme upper edge of the infra-red spec
trum-that is, in total darkness so far
as the human eye Is concerned.
BY Mr.. Brackets method 1t will be
possible to go nearly 10 times as far.
And infra-red radiation probably has
a very notable relation to the process
of plant life. In this method the light
comes to the thermocouple through rock
salt instead of glass

nisns which will detect the slightest
changes in the direction of growth. !.
Since plant behavior may be anecteo
by extremely slight variations in light
wave Combinations, it has been neces-
sary to set up extremely sensitive ap-
paratus for the detection of such varia-
tons. Ordinarily the structure of light
Is determined by photographing it
through spectroscope, method which
has led TO some Of the most remark
able developments in modern science
enabling astronomers to determine the
element of distant stars and the struc-
ture Of atoms. The color elements en-
tering into any light %ave combinations
are registered by the varying density
OF the silver on specially prepared pho
tographic plates, due to the rearrange-
ment Of the particles by different wave
lengths Of light falling upon them.
