EEW will pretend that the, naval
Il treaty marks any great adj
vance toward actual limitation OF
armament. And yet its defeat well
might have been tragic, since the
chief opposition has come in all
countries from the jingoeS and
built.to- men.
Here and there a sincere pacl-
fist joins forces with adn1irals. In
ternational politics has made few
stranger partnerships than this CO.
operation between those who felt
that the treaty went too far and the
reformers who Thought it was not
even beginning in limitation.
But the fight for curtailment OF
naval preparation need not end now.
The field still is open for a con-
certed drive toward sweeping re-
duction on our part, no matter what
other nations may do. This is the
very time for pacifistS to begin to
fight.
It is mistake to assume that
all who favor peace at any price are
humble folk who shudder even at
the violence of verbal controversy.
But it must be admitted that in
the past too much humility has been
mixed up in this drive against war.

SnoWfIakeS

Il ANGLEY, one of the famous
IL earlier American students of
the sun, described the appearance of
the photosphere as resembling
"snowflakes on gray cloth"
Astronomers frequently refer to
the nodules as rice grains" because
Of the similarity in appearance.
These "rice grains" range from
400 to 800 miles in diameter. But
when conditions for observation are
particularly good, a high-powered
telescope will show that they are
composed in their turn of smaller
grains.
The grains are not permanent,
but continually change in appear
ance, old ones disappearing and new
ones taking their place. They bare
testimony to the fact that the sur
face of the sun is not a quiet region,
but a great seething cauldron of
gases.
This is what we would expect,
since other studies have revealed
that the surface of the sun is
10000 degrees on the Fahrenheit or
ordinary thermometer.
In addition to the "rice grains, 4"
the philosophers exhibits bright
streaks and patches known as
"faculae." 1t is difficult to see the
faculae near the center of the suns
disc, but they are prominent near
the edges.
Like the "rice grains" faculae are
subject to change, old ones dis
appearing and new ones appearing.
The faculae are likely to be espe-
cially prominent in the neighbor-
hood of sun spots.

The South Is Just About as
Solid as 1t EUer Was.
SAYS:

THE Texas primary proves very
Il little, except the ability of Pa
and Ma to come back.
The comparatively small vote
polled by Tom Love, who led the
bolt against AL Smith, and the COM
paratively small vote polled by
Young, who managed the Smith
campaign two years ago, only serves
to show how completely that flare
up has died down.
Those familiar with the situation
are not surprised.
The southern detection from
Smith never was anything more
than a passing wave of anger, a
leftover Of the 1924 row.
1t was not case of boiling the
party, but of refusing to support a
candidate, and that candidate was
the victim Of circumstances, rather
than any inherent ill-will, and he
probably would get the normal
Democratic vote If he ran again.

THE assistant sanitary engineer
Il of the Detroit department, of
health has made available an analy-
sis of swimming pool standards
throughout the country, with view
to protecting the public health in
this connection.
He points out in the first place
that it is desirable to keep the tenn
perature of the water in pool
within range where the growth of
germs will not be rapid, and still
have the water warm enough so
that bathers who are not actively
moving will not be unduly chilled
The proper temperature for this
purpose is between 70 and 70 de-
greeS Fahrenheit.
Pools that are used mostly by
good swimmers can be kept nearer
the lower temperature and those
used for teaching purposes are kept
nearer the higher temperature.
In the Detroit pools, as in most
other well-regulated pools through

SCIENCE
The Gaseous Surface of the
Sun Is Not Smooth, as the
hmcients Pictured 1t, but
Is Notified.
BY DAVID DIETZ'

fDAzzLED by the suns brilliance,
- noa human eye can catch a
glimpse of the suns appearance.
The ancients imagined that it was
brightly polished like the faultless
surface of a shield.
After Calico built his first tele-
scope, 1t became possible to study
the sun. One method was to use
the telescope to cast an image Of
the sun upon screen.
The other was to equip the tele-
scope with dark glass which made
it possible to look through the tele-
scope at the sun. Amateur astrono-
mers never should turn opera
glasses or binoculars upon the sun.
(The experiment might result in
permanent blindness)
These early students Of the sun
discovered that the surface of the
sun was not perfect, but marked
with spots. This fact was resented
greatly by many Of the philosophers
of the middle ages, who held that
since the sun was a celestial OBJ
ject, it must of necessity be fault
less.
Modern study has revealed that
the gaseous surface of the sun,
known technically as the photo
sphere, is not smooth, as the
ancients pictured it, but mottled,
looking very much like rough draw
ing paper.
A. powered telescope reveals
that Ele surface is made up of a
rather darkish background, over
which are scattered bright grains,
or nodules.

Farmer jim Has Power

r OCALLY, and from a human
~ interest standpoint, the Texas
primary is worth more than pass
ing thought. For one thing, it res
veals the effect of opinions and in
f1uences which go deeper than party
affiliations, and which, though hard
to gauge, are likely to play a ma
jor role in shaping our political flu
ture.
Not only outsiders, but Texans
themselves, find it difficult to ex-
plain the hold Of Fergusonism.
Farmer Jim they called him when
he broke into politics sixteen years
ago, in spite of the fact that he
had become a banker and was re-
puted to be worth 100000.
He never had taken any promi-
nent part in politics before, and was
regarded as an easy victim for the
old war horse, Colonel Thomas Ball.
So, too, prohibition was regarded
as the paramount issue on which
these two would fight it cut. But
Farmer Jim chose to make his cam
paign on new rent law for tenant
farmers.
The rent law never has been put
into effect, but Farmer Jim won
on it.

Miniature radios grace the living rooms, mo-

doll babies and porch floor lamps.
Some of the doll homes have pent-houses,

These marvellous circus outfits include not
only the big tent and the sawdust ring. but side
shows, menageries, clowns, equeStrians and
other performers trapeze sets, wagons, stoves
cook tents and arenas for the animals.
Looking over the construction toys, a grown

the electrical and mechanical kind, have been
turned out in big lots by the manufacturers
who are always alert to respond to the magma
ton and yearning of youth.
Anything and everything that boys and girls
can take apart and put together again is in
great demand this year. Not only will these
toys tax the youngsters ingenuity and skill
but they are complicated enough to keep even
daddy plugging away at their intricate parts
noisy enough to drive mother into visions of a
noiseproof door on the nursery.

ter the grueling Kentucky game
the v. M. /. suadron will have
the usual rest period of 10 days
before facing the V. p I. Gobblers
at Roanoke in the Thanksgiving
Day climax Of the season for both
teams. Although the Cadets are
not scheduled to play, they will
have a busy time, with Coaches
Bill Raftery, Ed Hess and Stag"
Binish putting on final drive
to bring Captain Roy Dunn and
his mates to the top of their
form.
For the third time in four years
v. M. I. is rated as the underdog
in the Cadet-Tech classic. but
members of the Flying Squadron
point to three straight victories
as evidence that the Flying
Squadron cannot be counted out
of a Thanksgiving Day battle un-
I'll the 1lnal WnlSCIe.
In 1927 and 1928 v. M. I.
victories were decided upsetS,
and even last year many fans
and experts preferred the
chances Of the GObblers to
those Of the Cadets.
Again this season the Gobblers
have the better seasons record,
but the Cadets believe that their
goal of four straight wins is
not out Of their reach even If
they have to play far over their
heads to reach it.
Before seeing their varsity in
action at Roanoke the members
of the v. M. I. corps will have
an opportunity Saturday to
watch the Gobbler and Cadet
Freshmen in action on Alumni
field.
The young Cadets have won
from Maryland and N. C. State,
while the Tech youngsters are
undefeated. The Virginia and

both turned in victories over V.
