In only n October in the last Sc

total OF 2.26 inches occurred over a
five-day period.
The eastern drought situation was
viewed with such alarm in Philadel-

offered for rain. Ministers were re-

SCIENTIST EXPECTS TO STUDY
SUMS ATOMS DURING ECLIPSE
Works Out Method Of Observing
Distribution Of Gases on
8oG3 SuftaCos sFs

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. 1l.-RN
DR.. Samuel A. Mitchell. scientific
leader Of the American expedition
now In the South Pacific to observe
the suns eclipse October 81, today
made public through his office here
his principal objective.
He is director Of the Leander Nc
Cormick observatory Of the Univer-
sity Of Virginia.
The objective is to study atoms in
the suns flaming atmosphere 90 mil
lion miles distant. These solar atoms
are no larger than earthly ones. which
means they are so tiny 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 sur, DR..
Mitchell's report says. is not only
feasible but has been 50 thoroughly
worked out already that the astron-
omer knows more about the consti-
tuition, temperature and distribution
OF gases In the suns atmosphere even
though it is 80 million miles away,
than we know at present CT U own
terrestrial atmosphere 20 miles above
our heads"
win Use Spectroscope
The solar atoms are studied by
nse Of q spectroscope. a glass prism
through which Is photographed the
Light Of the suns corona during
eclipse. The spectrum picture is
merely . series Of many dark, verti-
cal, parallel lines.
The lines look like shadows, and in
q peculiar way actually are shadows.
Each line represents the absence on
the Photographic plate Of a certain
wave length Of the suns light, miss
ing because 1t 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 temper
atures and many other conditions. SO
that q spectrum Is really q photo Of
what atoms are doing In great
masses.
Astronomers have learned how to
interpret these lines. For example
one set Of lines. DR.. Mitchell says. re-
veals In tn. SIMS atmosphere the
presence Of q layer of iron vapor 600
miles deep.
Other lines show a different iron
vapor only $40 miles deep. The Diff
ferences are due to the fact that iron
does not all vaporize in one explosive
flash at q single temperature level.
Some Of the iron atoms get excited"
Is the astronomers say. and begin TO
glow and show lines at one temper
ature, while others, are not fully va
ported until higher temperatures are

Gains were listed In the Sac Paulo-

troops had caused the abandonment
of the Bello Horizonte sector.
"Have the government OF Mlnas

rebel message concluded.
Another intercepted message was
from the chief Of the rebel forces In
Parana to Getulio Vargas, head OF
the revolutionary movement at Porto
Alegre, and declared the situation IN
Parana was difficult from an eco
nomic standpoint and that 1t was
necessary that supplies be shipped

This Is the Limit

Coffinism prefers a weak prosecutor to a
strong one, if it fails to name it's own man.
That is why it now supports Judson Stark
for reelection.
But it hardly was to be expected that a
bold and open appeal that amounts to CO.
ercion would be made to families of convicts
in Michigan City, the penal farm and Pendle-
ton, most of whom pleaded guilty.
Such appeal was made in the Sunday Star,
which showed Stark with his little black
book, in wn,ch was written the record of
every man in prison.
Then it was announced, "The prosecutor
calls it his pardon and parole book" The
signature of the prosecutor is necessary on
every application for pardon, parole or COM
mutation The implication is plain. 1t will be
understood thoroughly by those seeking
clemency for their relatives in jail. You may
be sure that they are not vocally opposing

All the rejoicing over the London pact is worse

That treaty it will be recalled, is not even binding

Britain and Japan if France and Italy proceed with

Therefore, one of the most serious Of many dis

Serum Helps in Infantile Paralysis

infantile paralysis and who spread
the disease from one person to an
other without themselves being
actually sick.
The detection and control of
carriers is the most important step
in preventing epidemicS of many
infectious diseases.
The oausative agent of infantile
paralysis is not known and attempts
are being made in many research
institutions to find out the nature
of the organism.
In a recent small epidemic there
were twelve cases of the disease,
ten who were treated with conva-
lescent serum and who recovered;
two who were treated without the
application of modern medical
means, but by the use of faith and
adjustments, died.
The interest which the public has
shown in lending its efforts to the
control of this disease is best re-
vealed by the fact that in Montreal
during the last epidemic, according
to Professor H. B. Cushing, Grip
pies for many miles Ground wrote
to the health department Offering
to supply serum, if it were re-
quired for new cases of the dis

A Step Forward

1T is to be admitted that the Mus
4 Solinis are needed under certain
conditions, just as the Lenins and
Mustapha KemalS are needed, but
Of all types of political leaders,
they are to be dreaded most. This
is especially true in a day when the
world is seeking peace through
democratic agencies, and when
sheer demagogery represents q
worse stumbling block than ever.
But the three greatest naval pow
erS on earth have found it possible
to agree on limitation program in
spite of Mussolini and his kind,
which gives people everywhere some
thing better and bigger to think
about.
Though it may not mean so much
by way of immediate guarantees or
even immediate savings, this naval
pact still represents a great step
in advance. The mere fact that
governments have been able to draw
it up and sign it, it is more than
enough to prove the presence of a
new force in the world.
Men simply couldn't conceive of
such a thing 100 years ago, much
less admit the possibility of carrying
it out.
