Cycles

THE corona never appears ex-
l. actly the same at any two
eclipses. The changes also follow
general cycle which matches the
sun-spot cycle.
The sun-spot cycle Is liz years.
That is, from a time of minimum
sun-spots to the time Of maximum
and back again to minimum, is ap-
proximately liz years.
When an eclipse occurs at a time
of maximum sun-spots, the corona
appears to extend. for about the
same distance all around the sun.
Although the outline is not regular,
the general appearance is about that
of halo.
When an eclipse occurs at a time
of minimum Sun-SpotS the appear
ance is very much different. The
north and south poles Of the sun
are then marked by small tufts Of
light, while great streamers extend
out into space on either side of the
sun from the equatorial region.
There also seems to be some con-
nection between the corona and the
solar prominences. The prominences
are great tongues of flaming gases
extending from the suns atmosphere
or chromosphere. They are COM
posed chiefly of hydrogen and he~
lium and appear bright red during
a solar eclipse.
The exact connection between
proninences and the corona is not
yet known.
Sun-spots are known to be mag
netic in nature and it is thought
that the changes in the shape of the
corona with the frequency of sun
spots may be an electromagnetic
phenomenon.
Shape of the coronal streamers
seems to be somewhat the sort
which magnetic lines of force would
call for.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Doctors Seldom Deceive Patients

In the vast majority of instances
it is believed that patients coop
crate better if they know about their
actual condition, know what Is be-
ing done for them, and what can be
done for them toward benef1ting and
perhaps even curing the disease.
After all, there are but few con-
ditions today in which the outlook
il absolutely hopeless.
Much depends on the way in
which the information is given to
the patient. It is possible for those
who understand something of hui
man psychology to make the mes
sage of information inspirational
and uplifting.
It then will play considerable
part in the steps that may be taken
toward a cure.

by DAVID DIEIL
The Corona Is Visible Only
During a Total Eclipse Of
the Sun, Though Always
Present.

THE corona, the great silver halo
Il around the sun, changes its
shape as the number of sun-spots
change. This is one Of the interest,"
ing facts which the study Of solar
eclpses has revealed.
The corona is visible only during
a total eclipse Of the sun. 1t Is one
of the reasons, therefore, why as
tronomers will travel thousands OF
miles, if necessary. to photograph an
eclipse Of the sun.
The corona is always present
around the sun. But it is invisible
because of the bright glare OF the
suns light. This glare, it should be
understood, is due to the reflection
Of the suns light on the earth's
atmosphere.
If the earth had no atmosphere.
the corona would be visible at all
times. But then as DR.. Henry Nor
riS Russell, dean of American as
tronomers, has observed, there
would be nobody on earth to look
at it.
So perhaps natures arrangement
is just as we'll. The corona becomes
visible only when the disc of the
moon gets between us and the sun
and cuts of the direct rays of the
sun.

Why Bring That Up?

LESS than one-third Of federal prisoners are due
to prohibition says the President in his appeal to
congress for enforcement legislation and relief Of
prison overcrowding.
Hoover's indictment Of prison conditions will be
welcomed by the experts, who have been saying the
same thing and by the public which has been aroused
by the epidemic prison riots and the Columbus fire.
No one can dispute his statement that the overcrowd
ing of the prisons themselves is inhunane and &C
centuates criminal tendencies"
But we wonder whether the President realizes the
full import of his admission that almost one-third
of the federal prisoners are due to prohibition. For
one law that has been the statute books only ten
years. isn't that rather high proportion?
Leaving aside the old dry claim that prohibition
would decrease crime and empty prisons is not the
greatly excessive proportion of prohibition prisoners
proof that there is such wide acceptance and OBJ
servance of the law as the President hitherto has
assumed?
And is there not fairly general agreement that
prohibition crimes can not be limited merely to con-
victions for direct violation of that law but is
fected in the increase of other crimes? Could any
one deny that this "less than one-third Of federal
prisoners only part of the larger army of made
criminals by prohibition?
Something tells us that the drys' attitude toward
the Hoover statement will be: why bring that up?'

Common Type

a LII I have to say" writes K,
IA "is that the victims Of that
catastrophe and the prisoners who
now are confined behind prison
walls easily could have been on the
outside looking in if they would
only have deliberated their impend-
ing actions long enough to realize
the folly Of it all"
This, unfortunately. is not an I'M
common type Of thinking, though
even expressed somewhat more bru-
tally than usual. The theory runs
that callous and savage men can be
made to mend their ways if only
the community will treat them with
a Savagery even more ferocious than
their own. Let them eat smoke.
But this is not the only land
committed on occasion to that an
cient fallacy that out of compul-
sion can come the good life.
A deadlock may be an excellent
grip with which to toss a wrestler
on his back, but never yet found
it sufficient to overthrow the opin-
ion of even the humblest.
1 have small sympathy with those
who would cite Russia as an outlaw
nation because it curtails religious
scope. My dissent comes from an
other quarter. Russia is fair tar
get for criticism because its leaders
have gone mad in the violence of a
fanatical religious revival.
Communism has become in their
hands a creed as tight and harsh
as ever was fashioned by any bigot.

tics if the leader is strong and has
power to do and accomplish the
purpose of their party, the opposi-
ton has nothing to "holler" but
"bossisIn." This is very poor ex-
cuse to yell about, but 1 guess they
must have something. Bossism is
a very small word and easily said,
so, of course, it is the one word that
tickles the ears of those who can't
think Of bigger word. So take it
from me, the opposition is yelling
bossism because it is short and
they can yell it louder.

Mystery

NHE ugnC OF Gle corona is only
Il one illionth as bright as the
light of the sun itself. But at that
it is still twice as bright as the full
moon. This gives an idea of the
brilliance of the sun.
Much of the light Of the corona
is believed to be ordinary sunlight.
reflected from the gaseous particles
Of the corona.
But some of the light undoubt-
edly originates in the corona itself.
Here astronomers find themselves
faced with a mystery. The spectro-
scope reveals a great number OF
lines in the spectrum or rainbow"
Of the corona which can not be
identified. There are no known
chemical elements which cause these
lines.
AS a result, hypothetical ele~
ment has been suggested and the
name "coronium" has been given
it.
Today, however, astronomers are
disposed to doubt the existence Of
coroniun. They think that in all
probability, the corona consists Of
familiar elements but that they are
in some physical state, which 1t has
not been possible as yet to dupli-
cate here on earth.
The extreme rareness Of the
coronal material coupled with its
vast extent may have something to
do with causing the mysterious
spectrum lines.
It may also be that the corona
represents some peculiar state OF
identification or ionization, caused,
perhaps, by q bombard1nent Of cleo
irons from the sun-spots.

When YOurCOugh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home.
1t saves money ard gives you the most
reliable, quick-aeting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of stub
born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
21A ounces of Pinex. Pour this into
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gram
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble ut all to mix, and when
you once use it, you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
good-children really like it.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and
soothes and heals the inhamed mem
branes. At the same time, part Of
the medicine is absorbed into the
blood, where it acts directly on the
bronchial tubes, and helps the system
throw off the whole trouble. Even
those severe coughs which follow cold
epidemics, are promptly ended.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

REPLY QUICKLY
ON DISBARMENT
Friday Last Day for Action
by DIN R. Holt at
k0komo.

By Times Special
KOKOMO, Ind, Dec. Final
disposition of proceedings to disbar
DIN r. Holt, Kokomo attorney, is
scheduled for this week in Howard
Circuit court. A rule absolute has
been entered for Holt to answer on
or before Friday.
John Marshall and Lloyd Nc
Clure, commissioned by Circuit
Judge Grippe to prosecute the dis
barment case, obtained the rule s.t-
er following the usual practice in
such cases of first asking a rule to
answer without date being set.
Fails to Recognize Case
Hollis failure to take cognizance
of the case caused the action which
will bring the matter to speedy
issue. So far Hollis only action has
been to enter the appearance of
his law firm as counsel in his case.
Holt is facing an eighteen months
prison term for conspiracy to VIC
late the federal prohibition law. He
was convicted in district court at
indianapolis, and carried the case
to the United States Circuit court
of Appeals at Chicago where the
conviction was affirmed. Then he
announced he would take the case
to the United States Supreme court.
Alleges Perjury
The attorney contends he was
convicted on perjured testimony
and in addition, has indicated that
on appeal to the nations highest
tribunal he will attack the federal
dry law as unconstitutional.
Although Holt has not made any
reply IN court to the disbarment
case, in published statements he has
taken the stand that the action is
premature, because his case has not
been finally. disposed of, and cites
his intention to appeal to the su-
prene court.
