TINE ordinary spectrum 0 I the
Il sun is like a rainbow-a band
of continuous colors. 1t is crossed
however, with many dark lines.
The spectrum of the chrome
sphere, however, is a series of iso-
lated bright lines. Because this
spectrum of bright lines flashes into
view only at the moments before or
after totality, it is known as the
flash spectrum"
DR.. Mitchell has succeeded in OBJ
tanning finer pictures of the flash
spectrum than had been made in the
past.
And when he came to measure
the positions of the lines in these
photos, he found many of them
shifted out of the exact position
which scientists, on the basis of lab
oratory experiments, would expect
to find them.
This shift was toward the red
end of the spectrum.
Now such a shift, which can not
be explained on the basis of older
theories, is demanded by the Elm
stein theory of relatively.
According to Einstein's thory, light
is influenced by gravitation, or, to
state it more exactly, the so-called
gravitational field of an object like
the sun is warping of space around
it. Consequently. light behaves diff
ferently when it comes through this
warped space.
Einstein's theory, it will be re-
membered, came into prominence ir
1919 when the study of photographs
of eclipses revealed a shift Of star
images.
During an eclipse the sky grows
dark and the brighter stars become
visible. Einstein predicted that these
star images would be shifted out OF
place as a result of the bending OF
their rays as they came through the
warped" space around the sun.
Evidence
THE shift toward the red of the
Il lines in the flash spectrum
means that the frequency or rate of
vibration of the light causing these
waves has been slowed up.
The position Of a line in the
spectrum depends upon the rate of
vibration of the waves. Those of
highest frequency are at the violet
end of the rainbow Those of low
est frequency are at the red end.
A shift Of solar spectrum lines to-
ward the red has previously been
found in other types of observations
upon the sun by DR.. Charles S. st.
John of the Mt. Wilson Observatory
The one result which scientists
have not yet been able to reconcile
with the Einstein theory is the
ether drift experiment performed by
DR.. Dayton c. Miller of Case School
Of Applied Science.
DR.. Miller, using an instrument
patterned after the original Michel
SON Morley apparatus, continues to
get evidence of a drift of the solar
system through the ether of space
evidence of a sort which, according
to the Einstein theory, ought not tc
exist.

UphoIdS Digest Poll

A REPUBLICAN convention at
L n Seattle votes for modification
of the prohibition law by 811 to 81.
The verdict is made doubly i'm
presSive by the size Of the majority.
1t furnishes convincing evidence
that the Literary Digest poll, which
showed the state of Washington
wet by two to one was conservative.
Only unintelligent people refuse
to admit that change N sentiment
is sweeping the country.
No recent effort to test public
opinion has resulted in favor of the
dryS.
Magazine polls. newspaper polls,
college pOlls-each and every one
indicate a rising tide CT opposition
to the eighteenth amendment and
Volstead act.
Fanatical drys regard the change
in sentiment as forecasting a break
down of morality.
Others construe it as a sign that
the American people still are SEN
sible enough to recognize a blunder,
even though it was made with the
best Of intentions.
Politicians, misiudging the atti-
tude of their constituents have done
more to keep up the prohibition il
lusionment than any one else.
For four or five years nothing has
prevented many political conven-
tons from going on record against
the dry Law eXcent the stupid fright
Of those in control.

GONE months ago, Senator Smoot
~ produced an armful of naughty
books to convince the senate that
censorship was necessary.
Half of them have disappeared
and the senator is much perturbed.
Instead of becoming the instru-

himself an unconscious agent of
their wider distribution.
Bishop Cannon appears to have
jumped from the frying pan into
the fire when he abSented himself
from the prohibition quiz at Wash
ington to attend the southern
Methodist conference in Dallas,

At all events, he finds himself
facing the possibility of a church
trial for dabbling in stocks.
Most people will find it easier
to excuse the bishop for his dry
proclivities than his flirtations with
Wall Street.

on Irregularities Reported
In Charles Bob's Accounts

NEW YORK, Oct. l6 QNS).
Charges were threatened today
against Charles v. Bob, missing
New York financier. and his bust
ness associate, Frederick c. Rus
sell, by Watson Washburn, as-.
sistant attorney general IN
charge of the State bureau Of Sc
curities. Washburn claimed he
had evidence on which he would
base his charges.
Washburn charged irregularities
in connection with the affairs of
the Metal and Mining Shares,
Inc, an investment trust which
Washburn said was controlled BY
Bob.
Both Bob and Russell were be-
lieved to be in seclusion in Chi
cago.
Belief that the two men were
in Chicago, where Bob disap-
peared more than a week ago
after planning to return to New
York by plane, was strengthened
when Louis A. Jubien, treasurer
of the Metal and Mining Shares,
Inc, told the attorney generals
office here last Sunday. Accord
ing to Jubien's story to the au-
thorities, the speaker on the tele-
phone in Chicago said he was

Religious difficulties In regard
to the union were solved with
announcement from the Vati-

a dispensation allowing the mar
riage. The fact that the pro-

a stumbling block in the arrange

WET AND DRY
STATE TIL IS
STUDIED
Course Of Republican Party
to Be Shaped by Results
In New York, Pennsylvania
BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES
fTnternafinnaI Newa aervicel

tInEefm&uOWMA NGW@s SbhNhC1y
While. national political leaders
here are naturally more inter
ested in the congressional aspect
Of the coming election than they
are in purely State contests
there are two notable exceptions
to that rule-the gOvernorShip
fights in New York and Penn
sylvania.
The politicians interest in
these two battles might be said
to exceed that of any senatorial
or congressional fight, no matter
how outstanding. The reason
therefore, is not far to seek-it
Is 1892.
In New York the Republican
party has gone wet after 10
years of allegiance with the drys,
nominating in Charles H. Tuttle,
q wet candidate, on a platform
calling for repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment. The Republi-
can drys have bolted and put
up a third ticket.
Republicans Bolt
In Pennsylvania, a large sec
tion of the Republican party has
bolted the dry candidacy Of
Clifford Pinchot and served no
tice Of its intention of support
ing John M. Hemphill, who
styles himself a Democratic-Lib-
eral running on a platform that
calls for repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Hence the Republican party in
these two large and politically
powerful States Is split as it has
not been since 1912. The same
Is more or less true of Massa-
chusetts, where wet Republicans
are boiling the. dry senatorial
candidacy of former Senator
William M. Butler.
Should Tuttle be elected COVER
nor of New York In November, and
Pinchot be defeated in Pennsylva.
nia-which many ShreWd observers
believe posSible-it probably means
that the New York and Pennsyl-
vania delegations will go to the
Republican convention Of 1882
prepared to battle for wet plank
In the national platform. The
Republicans of New Jersey al
ready are wet, in both candidate
and platform Massachusetts, is
teetering on the edge, and If But
ler loses it probably means the
Bay State delegation would fall
into line.
But 10 Days Away
Consequently, the election now
,ut 10 days away is considered in
! tvashington as much wet-or-dry
eferendum within the Republican
party in the East as it is anything
lse.
If the vets win in New York
pennsylvania and Massachusetts
tbey have already won in New
er ,ey-then it is assumed here
ssss t the convention delegations
y lrt1rn these States cannot do other
wise than to battle in 1882. for the
inclusion in the national platform
of that year Of a prohibition re
form plank.
The outcome is being watched
with intense interest In Washing
ton, the White House included
Mr.. Hoover has kept himself metz
culously aloof from each Of these
contests. He has not gone neal
New York, New Jersey or Pennsyt
vania in this campaign, and he
has no intention Of doing so.

FARMERS HUR 7
BY BIC CROPS

GRANT CITY, Mo-, Oct. 10
0N.SJ American farmers have
gone far in production and lead
the world in their ability to pro-
duce, but the nation has come
to where the abundance of its
production is working an eco
nomic injustice, c. B. DenmarI,
live stock farmer Of the Federal
Farm Board, told the annual
meeting Of the Missouri Farmers
Union here yesterday:
Certainly the best controlled
division Of American industrial
life today is labor, and the
record Of the history of the
American Federation of Labor
is that they work fewer hours,
and i'm many instances fewer
days. And receive immeasur.
ably greater return. The manu-.
facturer gauges his production
to meet his demand, and to o
large degree shares q greater
prosperity.
''WOuId I pull either of these
down to the level of agricul.
ture? Not at aIIS Low prices
in the past have done exactly
what they are doing now to
agriculture, and, that is, they
have meant hard times. Co
operative organization means
for agriculture exactly what
corporate control means for
other industries"
