TRIPS TO MOON BY
YEAR 2O5O LIKELY
Scientist Sees Possibilities
in Rocket Ship.

New York.--Earth dwellers will
probably be able to travel to the
mooa and to communicate with their
terrestrial home by telephoning over
a beam Of light In another 100 years,
Dr. John Q. Stewart, associate pro.
lessor Of astronomical physics at
Princeton university, declared recent
ly at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
and sciences.
In making what he called an "edu-
Gated guess" about the future Of
rocket travel through interplanetary
space, he predicted that persons
would travel In rocket ship at a
speed Of some $1,000 miles an hour.
Far sooner-and probably by 1850
It Ia likely that a speed Of 1000 miles
an hour will be possible, he said.
Study Of the increase in rate Of
travel Of passenger carrying vehicles
during the last century leads to a
guess that by the year 2050 sufficient
speed will be realized to overcome
the force Of gravity, thus enabling
trips to the moon.
Concentrated Energy.
"Sufiieient energy to create these
speeds may be Forthcoming from sew.
eral sources" he declared. "At pres.
ent In the laboratory minute Quantl-
ties Of very concentrated energy
stores have been obtained, such as
ionized hydrogen, which contains a
hundred times the energy Of coal and
oxygen. Triply ionized lithium con-
tains sixteen times as much energy
again. No one knows as yet how to
make such energies available for en-
cheering purposes
Doctor Stewart declared that the
one theoretically feasible method Of
journeying to the moon that has been
suggested is vehicle propelled on
the principle Of the rocket.
Such ship, he believed. would be
spherical, perhaps 10 feet In diam.
eter. Projecting from It In all direc
lions would be dozen or more can.
mons. When one Of these was fred
the ship would be propelled In the
opposite direction.
Ship Would Be Heavy.
The ship would weigh about 10000
tons, Of which 2s000 tons would be
shot from the guns to give propul-
sion. The crew would number about
sixty and a dozen passengers might
be carried on two months' cruise.
A desert would be the starting place
to prevent damage underneath the
guns.
Once at the moon, Doctor Stewart
declared, Communication by tele-
phone over a beam of light, as the
Kennedy -Heaviside layer might make
radio impossible. To return, the ship
would take on IN the same way that
she left the earth, coasting most Of
the way, because Of the earth's great
Or gravitational attraction. But care
would have to be taken in landing,
for II the ship came down too fast
over city and the rockets were fred
to check the fab it would be disas-
trous to the people below.
After the lecture Doctor Stewart
displayed motion pictures Of sunrise
on the moon which were taken at the
Princeton observatory.

It oil started back in 1928 when he

Hofellch was able to apply first aid.
He cut the wound, sucked the poison

Hofelich thought nothing more Of
the incident until June, 1929, when
he was notified by a New York law
yer that he had been bequeathed &c..
900. which he would receive when he
married.
Sommers, a bachelor himself, had
asked Corporal Hofelich when he In.
tended to marry, after his rescue.
Hofelich had told him some day.
Hofelich had zone best girl" until
February Of this year, when they
'broke or because OF what he terms

The fortunate girl who will share
his $4,000. he said, may be either a
blond or brunette, preferably a bru.
