MANLY STIRRED
|. BY FARM SHIFT

The exodus of more than 4,o00..
900 persons from the American
farm to the city in the past
decade is one Of the major causes
Of unemployment, according to
Basil M. Manly, director of the
Rawleigh foundation, in a state
ment today. He said:
''This movement from farms
to cities, which is without prece-
dent in modern history, has
created . surplus of labor in
the industrial centers and at
the same time has reduced ma.

estimated at 4,342,O0O, repre-
senting q decline in farm pOpu-
lation from 31,614,OOO to 27,'
OO0,OO0."
Mr.. Manly said the invasion
of the cities by farmers was
caused largely by the long-con'
tinued agriculture depression and

PARENTS WANT.
BOYS HEART

Where is the heart of Michael
Callas, 17-year-old youth who
died last August?
That is what his family wants
to know. And they have en-
ployed attorneys to find out. The
youth died of heart disease, and
an autopsy showed that his heart
and other organs were reversed
in their positions.
The heart was removed for
examination and as this had not
been completed at the time of
the funeral, the body was buried
without it.
When the family learned this
they had the body exhumed to
see If it were true, and when
they found no heart demanded
that it be restored. DR.. A.
Magruder Macdonald, deputy
coroner, last night refused to say
where the heart is.

SUNS ATOMS ARE
 MITCHELL TOPIC
Expedition to South Pacific to
 Observe Eclipse

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. fl R-- Dr. Samuel A. Mitchell, scientific leader of the American expedition now in the south Pacific to observe the suns eclipse October 12, made public through his office here today his principal objective.
 He is director of the Leander Mo | Cormlck observatory of the Univer- sity of Virginia.
 Will Study Atoms
 The objective is to study atoms in the Suns flaming atmosphere, 93 million miles distant. These solar atoms are no larger than earthly ones, which means they are so tiny Ethat the biggest is several hundred diameters too small to be visible in the most powerful microscope.
 The almost incredible scientific feat of studying them in the sun, Dr.. Mltchells report says, is not onfy feasible but has been so thoroughly worked out already that the as tronomer knows more about the constitution, temperature and distri- button of gases in the suns at mosphere, even though it is 93 mill lion miles away, than we know at present of our own terrestrial at mosphere 20 miles above our heads ? The solar atoms are studied by use of a spectroscope, a glass prism through which is photographed the light of the suns corona during eclipse. The spectrum picture is merely a series of many dark, verti- cal, parallel lines.
 Lines Look Like Shadows
 The lines look like shadows, and in a peculiar way actually are sha- dows.
 Each line represents the absence on the photogra phic plate of cer- tain wave length of the suns light, missing because it has been absorbed by some, but not all, of the suns atoms lying in view of the camera eye. These atoms change their ways of absorbing light according to tenn pcratures and many other conditions, so that a spectrum is really a photo of what atoms are doing in great masses.
 Astronomers have learned how to interpret these mass photos. For example one set of lines. Dr. Mitchell says, reveals in the suns atmosphere the presence of a layer of iron vapor GOO miles deep.
 Other lines show a different iron vapor only 240 miles deep. The differences are due to the fact that iron does not all vaporize i'll one explosive flash at a single temper ature level Some of the iron atoms get "excited" as the astronomers say, and begin to glow and show lines at one temperature, while others are not fully vaporized until higher temperatures. The lower iron vapor layer on the sun repre- sents higher temperatures.
 This kind of reading of the earth's upper layer is hinnered by the lack of light from terrestrial atmosphere.
