Proof Of Starvation.
Evidence of the starvation and lack

is contained in figures Just issued by
the Social Service Exchange. 1t
states that an average Of 5000 names
was registered daily during Novem-
Der, representing 5000 individuals and
families who apply for help every
day. The extent to which these I'M
employed workers are being "as-

the welfare agencies whose task is to
provide shelter and food for the I'M

In August, 1881, the Association for
the Advancement Of the Conditions
of the Poor accepted for help 219
families out Of 1915 who applied. The
C. O. s. undertook responsibility for
3oe families out Of 1884. OF 2146

One to Three Year Morato-

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 29-France and
England are seeking a compromise
policy concerning reparations as a re-
suit of Americas refusal to revise or
cancel war debts. it was reported today
in informed quarters.
The basis of discussions between rep
resentativeS of both countries, it was
understood is a suggestion for one to
three year moratorium on Germany's
conditional reparations payments in
stead of the five-year postponement
proposed by England or the two-year
holiday suggested by France.
Safety Clause Planned.
The agreement would contain a
safety clause under which Germany
would be asked to continue payment OF
annuities if the United States should
refuse to grant an equivalent mora
torium on war debts. In case there
should be no further debt holiday Ger
many would be asked to pay at least
the amount which England and France
owe to the United States.

Conferences have been going on
among the members looking to a con-

not single candidate has been agreed
upon.
The veteran Senator Norris of Ne
braska has been asked to make the
contest against Hoover's denomination,
but he has declined to enter the nomi-

Roosevelt of New York, is acceptable
Also, there is a conviction that Presi-

Consequently, the talk of a third
party was frowned upon in public
statements a year ago by both Norris
and Borah.
Senator Borah has always stood by
the Republican party. He did so in the
split of 1912 when Theodore Roosevelt
headed the Bull Moose ticket.
However, Borah has been In frequent

ORIGIN Of PLANETS
AND SUN IS TRACED
TO SOLAR DISASTER
Earth and Its NeighborS
Formed From Debris of Ca
tastrophe, Says DR.. Gum.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

A radically new theory of the origin
Of the sun, with its nine circling plan
cts, was presented before the American
Astronomical Society, meeting here to-
day, by DR.. Ross Gum, physicist of
the Naval Research Laboratory.
For years it has been generally ac-
cepted by astronomers that the planets,
including the earth, were torn away
from the sun and started revolving in
their orbits by the tidal attraction of
another star which, sweeping through
the heavens, passed close to the sun.
DR.. Gum claimed that this hypothe-
sis was so unlikely as to be extremely
improbable and advanced the contrary
theory, supported by extensive mathe-
maticaI analysis, that the solar system
resulted from the sun splitting In TWO
While under the older theory 1t would
be very improbable that the same event
could have happened more than TWO OF
three times in the whole history OF
creation, and hence the possibility OF
other worlds capable of supporting life
is very limited Under the Washington
physicists theory worlds with hlghiy
developed life might be commonplace
throughout the universe.
DR.. Gum explained his theory thus:
"A star more than twice as big as
our sun was caused to spin on ltS axis
faster and faster as the result OF cleo :
tric and magnetic forces until II hnally
broke into two pieces. One piece III
erally Sky-rocketed its way toward an
unknown destination and was lost, While
the other became our sun. The process
of breakup also produced smaller
pieces, which cooled and formed the
earth and the planets, together with
their moons
The older theory, which assumes
! that another star came so close to our
present sun that it extracted the planes
| from it by tidal action, is known to be
a highly improbable one, and therefore
| the existence Of our earth was purely
accidental. The new rotational eVolu-
ton theory, on the other hand sees IN
the solar system the natural conse-
uuence of a perfectly definite eVolu-
| tionary plan, and planetary systems are
undoubtedly quite common in the uni
verse.
Observation shows that little over
| a fourth of all the stars in the heavens
are doubles. and there can be little doub'
| these double stars resulted from the
! break up of single, more massive stars
| Considerable study has been devoted tc
the mechanisns acting in such star
and it has been possible to show thal

Its use has been mostly confined to
treatment of Addison's disease, but in
the last few months DR.. Hartman has
gathered enough to discover other
things cortin can do.

to overwork or the effect of an infec-

Even in perfectly normal persons,
with no debility, cortin injected daily
causes some increase in the resistance

the injections and for a day or more
following.
These increase the range of resist

will double their numbers and those of
the other two groups will make CORE
spending increases.
But, Mr. Whelpton pointed out, Amer
ican industry has been regulated for
the employment of younger age groups.
In the coming era of old age there will
be fewer chilren to be supported, but
more older people, and because of small
er families there will be fewer brothers
and sisters to take up the burden.
The present trend of the population
balance is toward less dependency but
this will change unless means are found
of keeping persons between so and 10
from becoming dependents. Unless this
can be done it will mean heavier bur-
denS on the young adults, who now
bear most of the load of rearing chill
dren The result, he said, is likely to
be q still greater decline in the birth
rate than is forecast by present statis-
tics. with a consequent greater increase
in the old-age element Of the popula-
ton.
Old age Is conservative, he said, SO
it can be assumed that the Nation will
grow more conservative as this element
in its population increases. There will
be more old men controlling industry,
