Blocking Naval Reduction

Liberal protest here and abroad apparently has
killed the untimely American proposal at the London
naval conference for the United States to build new
battleship.
Perhaps President Hoover was responsible for max
ing the American delegation withdraw the plan
which, especially in view of Britains Willingness to
scrap battleshps violated the Hoover reduction pledge
At any rate is to be hoped that this batleship
struction program viii not be revived by our ad-
mralS
But, with that obstacle TO reduction and economy
temporarily sdetracked, the American delegation
seems to be taking equally sti-necked and danger
Gus attitude on aircraft carrier reduction.
The roiowing London dispatch doubtless IS causing
the President much concern on his return to Wash
ington from a Florida fishing vacation:
The American delegation practically has decided
to ignore President Hoover's declaration that the
United States is willing to reduce low any other
power by opposing the British proposal to reduce air.
plane carriers from $4,000 to 100000 tons
These repeated suggestions from responsible Amer
lean correspondents at London that our delegation is
ignoring the Presidents policy are astounding OBJ
viously such situation not continue. Eventually
the President will assert his responsibility.
1t il rather far cry from the popular American
demand for parity and reduction to the delegations
present position that 100000 tons of aircraft carrier
strength fof Anglo-Amercan parity are not enough.
Why then sudden change in American policy-if
at is the American policy?

The most common cause of these

l. guard leaders that delay on the
tariff bill is upsetting business.
Old guard leaders gladly admit
the fact, but excuse themselves with
the plea that they are unable to do
anything about it because coalition

In SO far as they have spoiled the
iniquitous Smoot-Hawley bill, coaH-

it does want and need the situation
cleared up.
Suspense and uncertainty have
been carried far enough. The coun-

Either these forces know what

What Is the Sentiment

EUST how many people have come
aJ to this conclusion with regard
to prohibition is, after all, the most
important question
Until we know that, how can we
tell what really ais enforcement?
Like any other law, prohibition
is no stronger than the sentiment
behind it.
If it Jacks sufficient sentiment to
give it a reasonable chance to sue
coed, that settles the matter.
Our first problem, therefore, is to
find out whether such a lack exists.
Congress being unable, or unwill-
ing to do this, the Literary Digest
proposes to take a poll, which
promises to throw more light on the
subject than anything our laWmak-
ers have said or done.
AS long as its friends can
claim prohibition is favored by
a substantial majority, and its
opponents can claim the same thing,
we have a setup which permits un-
intelligent efforts at enforcement on
the one hand, and equally unintel-
ligent efforts at Modification on the
other.
The fact that prohibition has been
written into the Constitution means
nothing if the people have turned
against it, while the fact that some
have turned against it means moth
ing if the majority still wants it.
The sine qua non of constructive
action should be curious.
We need a cleancut unadulterated
referendum, and we probably would
have had it long ere this, if dry
politicians we're not afraid to face
the music.
A poll like that proposed by the
Literary Digest can not be regarded
as such a referendum, but if it re-
veals a state of public opinion that
will cause these dry politicians to
abandon their stubborn stand, it
will have served a worthwhile
purpose.

Elements

L n atmosphere are approached

the same as that inside of a So
called vacuum tube, DR.. st. John
continued.
I'VE also know the distribution Of
materials or chemical elements in
the suns atmosphere.
Practically all elements are found
immediately above the surface Of
the sun. At a height of 900 miles
above the suns surface, there are
chiefly hydrogen, helium, and the
vapors of iron, sodium, calcium and
magnesium.
above this, no iron is found, but
the other elements mentioned above
are found to a height Of about $500
miles.
above this point, only the hydro
gen, helium and calcium are found,
but the calcium at this high level
is in an electrified or ionized state.
These three elements rise to height
of 3,400 miles.
Then from this upper layer of

tongues of hydrogen flames darting
out and disappearing into space.

knowledge Of the sun is gained
by studying the suns spectrum, that
is, the rainbow of colors made by
a prism.
The great tower telescopes are
used to form such spectra which are
many feet long.
These spectra are crossed by black
lines, the so-called spectrum lines.
The position of these lines gives the
astronomer the cleW to the elements

pcrature, movements and the like.

SCIENCE
The Heat Of the SIN Is the
Result of Destruction Of
Matter IN the Interior Of
the Great Whirling Ball.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

TINE sun is great whirling ball
l. of gas, 863 900, miles in diam
eter, with a temperature of 5000
degrees at the surface and 10000
900 degrees at the center.
The heat of the sun is the result
of the destruction of matter in the
interior of the sun.
This destruction is at the rate
of 100000 tons Of matter a second.
But so gigantic is the sun that
it will take 100000 times a mil
lion years before the sun will be
reduced to half its present size or
mass.
These are some of the outstand-
ing and amazing facts in a word
picture of the sun, painted by DR..
Charles E. St. John of the Mt Will
son observatory in the light of the
most recent discoveries about the
sun.
DR.. st. John is president of the
solar section of the International
Astronomical Union and one OF the
worlds greatest authorities on the
subject Of the sun.
The greater part OF the present
knowledge concerning the sun has
been unearthed at Mt. Wilson.

Politics Again

A GOOD deal of the barnstorm-
N ing in congress, not only with
regard to the tariff, but with regard
to prohibition and several other
things, amounts to little more than
politics.
Politics admittedly is essential in
a system of government which COM
pels it's officers to run for election
every two years.
No one can quarrel with congress-
men for taking some time out to
build fences and provide campaign
material.
It is their privilege, if not part
of their job, to make speeches
which they can get printed and dis
tributed at government expense for
home consumption.
But, like everything else, the sport
can be carried too far.
II
Take the running prohibition
controversy, which has consumed
so much time during the present
session. What are we getting out
of it, except a lot of ballyhoo, which
centers largely around the question
Of patronage?
Senators Norris, Borah, Brook
hart and Wheeler-au good drys-
want a sweeping investigation, but
chiefly for the purpose Of changing
the personnel.
Other drys, whose friends are
threatened with loss Of their jobs,
oppose the idea.
One can believe that Norris,
Borah, Brookhart and Wheeler are
right, and still see the futility of
their effort.
They are proceeding on the as
sumption that prohibition enforce
ment has failed because the right
men are not in charge.
A lot of other people believe that
it has failed because the task is
hopeless, and that it will continue
to fail, regardless of who is in
charge.

 Traced Through Money Orders
 Assistant District Attorney Dwight Green said records of the money orders showed amounts ranging from s7,000 to s20 were transferred during 1928, most of them between Chica- go and Miami and many of them bearing the names of Capone, his family, and his henchmen.
 One of the names that appeared most frequently on the money orders was "A. Acosta" which the govern ment believes may have been an alias of Capone. Another name signed to many of the telegrams was "P. A. Henderson, Jr., Milwaukee.

Chapter r 4 BEGGAR'S ROMANCE

Before Jacqueline Grey drifted off to sleep at the close of the most adventurous day of her life she re- viewed the events that were climax ed by the glorious carefree mo- ments she had spent with Teddy Montrose.
 He obscured everything else in her thoughts which in itself was a compliment to that young man for Jacqueline had never thought about men, much.
 Neither had desired to end their adventure at the door of the Majcs- tic and Jacqueline had agreed that Teddy might call again.
 Now for the first time she real ized what 1t might lead to and it seemed that only one course was open to her. The adventure must end. He was Teddy Montrose, scion of Franklin Montrose of the Mont rose Shipping Line and it was ob- yious that he belonged to a different class of society.
 In her sojourn among the wealthy she was not averse to bluffing those she met but she did not intend 10 let herself drift into the affections of any young man under false pre- lenses. ..e-
 A great gulf stretched betw .en them and it seemed a very dreary expanses. Nevertheless it existed and she must face the fact.
 The depressing thoughts of the night were temporarily forgotten in the joy of the moment when Teddy Montrose very punctually appeared the next day and took her to a dainty little tea shop in the west end.
 There they found a cozy little corner where they might enjoy their tete-a-tete.
 At first Teddy was rather inclined to be serious. Jacqueline liked him just as much by daylight as she had at night in his evening clothes
