 The winner played the same steady game that has marked her progress through the earlier rounds and her service and drives were so accuate that her opponent formed accurate that her opponent formed only q slight obstacle to a clear road for her to the crown,
 In the mems singles, Harry Schu- pack continued his victorious march towards the semi finals by setting down Joseph Bonkus in two straight sets, G-2, 6-1. Bonkus made a des- perate effort in the first set to fur nish some stiff opposition for his spectacular rival but the best hs could do was to take two sets.
 The Schupack brothers, Harry and Edward, took their first round match from Olson and Carle yester- day. The scores were 6-4, 6-1. Only in the first match were the veterans faced with any stiff sort of opposi- tion. After this. Olson and Carle weakened and the second set found them taking only one game.
 Gill and Meehan won their match in the first round of the mems doubles from the Walrath- Flood combination by default.

TT was hack In 1877, however, that American
astronomy scored its FIRST Marian discovery.
The planet was at Its nearest approach IN
modern times, the year was momentous for
discovery. Schiapareln, watching in the clear
sky of Italy, first glimpsed then the dark
markings which he called canal" And ASaph
Hall, watching in the not-so-clear sky OF
Washington but using the largest telescope
then in the world. searched for satellites Of the
'moonless Mars" INSTRUMENTATION two.
The news was flashed to Europe by the new
Atlantic telegraph. Astronomers there turned
telescopes on Mars and confirmed the Ameri-
cans announcement. Congratulations poured
in-praise not only for the keen eyed observer.
but compliments also for the 26-inch refractor
of the Naval Observatory, which had brought
the new lands within sight
The moons of Mars proved to be not much
larger than Texas ranch. Phobus has a
diameter of 10 miles, Deimos five miles. The
imperialists get little encouragement in DR..
Halls discoveries, but his astronomical achieve
ment is all the more creditable because Of the
small size of the objects.
The biggest telescopes, like the tallest sky
Scrapers, are soon outclaSsed. Pre-eminence
shifted to California in the 80s, with the cree
ton of the 36-inch Lick telescope. Its power
was soon demonstrated. In 1892 Barnard dis
covered with it the fifth satellite of Jupiter; in
1904 and 1905 Perrine sighted the sixth and
seventh satellites, and in 1916 Nicholson picked
up with this superb glass the tiny ninth Jovian
MOON the elgnCn meanwhile having Deen 01S-
covered by Mellotte at Greenwich.
Another American, William H. Pickering,
discovered, in 1898 the ninth satellite of Saturn
thus continuing the exploration of this sys-
tenn begun by Bond SO years before. In 1905
Pickering announced the Photographic diScov-
cry Of tenth Saturnian moon, and in 1929 he
published the elements of a hypothetical
eleventh satellite which he had computed from
irregularities in the motion of Saturn-but
these await confirmation.
Even more challenging to the imagination Is
the recent discovery at Lowell Observatory of
a distant body which some astronomers have
identified as the Iong-Suspected ninth planet
Of the solar system. More than SO years ago
the French astronomer F1ammarion pointed out
that the paths of certain comets suggested the
existence Of a trans-Neptunian planet The
period of evolution and the distance he assigned
this theoretical body in 1879 are remarkably
close to the values computed by observers in
1880. In the years since Fiammarions bril-
liant prediction many able mathematicians
have worked on this problem-in Scotland,
George Forbes, and in the United States, David
p. Todd, Percival Lowell and w. II. Pickering.

discoveries have ohristened their asteroids for
colleges, friends, cities, pets and even favorite
foods. The late DR.. j. G. Watson discovered
% asteroids over many years, and at his death
was concerned lest they be lost before their
perturbations were calculated that he left the
National Academy OF Sciences legacy to
finance these laborious computations.
QUITE in contrast with Prof. WatSon's ex-
pensive asteroids are Prof. E. E. Barnard's
profitable comets. An American Maecenas
offered prize Of 5000 for each discovery Of
comet. Barnard discovered 10 over few years,
and with the money paid OF the mortgage on
his home-nterally house that comets built!
Then there is the sun-a laboratory, power

American solar discovery came during the
eclipse of 1869, when Prof William Hardness Of

sun in 1887. Before that only 80 earth ele-
ments had been identified in the solar light.
Recent explorations by Mount Wilson observers,
led by DR.. G. Z. ST. John, have identified %
elements not hitherto known in the sun. One
of these new-found solar ingredients Is plati-
mum. Drs. W. s. Adams and H. N. Russell by
an tngenius spectroScopic method, have been
able to compute the amount of platinum in
the sum- and find that it totals about 5O,OOo,-
900 TONS On the earth platinum sells for
around $40 ounce.
In 1908 DR.. George Ellery Hale, at Mount

pools and centers Of magnetism In later ex-
plorations DR.. Hale and his colleagues ranged

Another American, Prof. Pritchett reported
in July, 1878, the sighting of great red
