SAVANT DUE

PASADENA, Calf, July 30.-A
European scientist as famous as
Einstein is coming to consult with
savants at Mt. Wilson ObServa-
tory, and when he arrives he will
present an entirely different cos
mic theory than that advanced
by Einstein.
The scientist is DR.. Willem De
Sitter. professor of cosmology at
the University of Leyden, Holland,
a twinkling-eyed, gray-bearded
teacher of the only universe"
that conflicts with the universe
of relativity.
DR.. De Sitter contends that
space is naturally curved, regard
less of the matter composing the
stars and worlds in the universe.
Einstein contends that the cur
vature of space-time is caused by
the stars and worlds.
De Sitter advocates universe
that expands and contracts.
Until he visited Pasadena last
winter and learned about the Tex
plosion" theory of the distant
nebulae as proved by researches
of DR.. Edwin Hubble, EinStein be-
lieved the universe was static
or quiet.

RENO, July 80 G.NSD.-With
the number of gambling games
and resorts in Reno still increas

diminishing, a slump in the ca,
sino business is becoming appar.
ent along Gamblers Row"
Visitors from the world over
are still flocking to Reno to visit
the gaming houses and the re,
nowned Divorce Mill" but they
are coming in smaller groups, and
the overcrowded conditions that
prevailed in hotels and lodging
houses prior to July 4, are no
longer noticeable. Many local
business men are of the opinion
that some of the gaming places
will be frozen out" during the fall
and winter months because of the
decline in tourists.

Thunder of No Help
When Weather Is
Sizzling

Thunderstorms do not break
heat waves, although this is q
common expression.
And when the weather man
says generally fair" in his
forecast in the summer, ne
realizes it is quite possible cleo
trical storms will strike in some
part of his forecasting terri
tory.
These and other mistaken i'm
pressions are among the things
that make life a little worri-
some at times to the scientific
men who forecast the weather.
They have grown sensitive to
criticism because they are some
times wrong but more often
they are victims of mistaken
beliefs upon the part Of their
critics, they say.

MUSKEGON, Mich, July 80
1.N.SO The grasshopper plague
which has been devastating crops
in the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Iowa has moved into Michigan,
and today stringent steps we're be-
ing taken to combat the pests.
The insects first appeared two
or three days ago, according to
Carl H. Knopf, county agricul-
tural agent, and conditions ,.re
not yet generally serious. Locally,
however, Muskegon county is suf-
fering considerably, Knopf said.
We are sending ton of ar
Senic to the threatened areas,
and We believe this will check
the plague, at least temporarily.
Where the graSshOppers have
struck, they have left only bare
fields in their path"
Meantime. a Statewide cam
paign to fight the graSShoppers
was launched in Michigan today,
and Illinois authorities were pre-
pairing against an invasion of the
pests.
Northwestern Minnesota farm
ers reported the existence of a new
plague, the army worm.

because of the fog.
"The murk over the Atlantic

to fly at a height of from four

make the trip round the world

we intend to do it under nine"
Herndon then told of their
heart-breaking efforts to find a
loophole in the fog when their
instruments told them that they
must be somewhere over Ire
land.
I'VE circIed about for hours

land near the Seashore in Wales
