No Pink Tea Affair

THIS substitution of a reign of
L law for the arbitrament of
arms, about which we have talked
so enthusiastically, is no pink tea
affair. Assuming that it will bring
peace eventually, in a compare
tive sense, of course, it is bound to
bring a lot of concession and sacri-
flee beforehand.
Age-old habits of thought are not
going to be changed with a little
poetry. or even a little eloquence.
President Hoover speaks truly
when he says one of our greatest
difficulties is lack of faith. That
lack goes far not only in account
ing for the present depression, but
in explaining why we are not max
ing faster progress with disarma-
ment.

Concentrated SUNLIGHT

THIS final spot of concentrated
Il sunlight, it is believed, will
nave temperature of 10000 de-
grees, Fahrenheit.
Present plans are to place
large glass vacuum bulb at the
center of the furnace. The final
concentration of the light thus will
take place within the bulb, and anv
substance placed in the bulb will be
brought up to temperature ap-
proximating that of the suns sur
face.
The solar furnace will be used
chiefly as an aid to spectroscopic
studies.
Much of our knowledge of the
sun and the stars had been gained
by the use of the spectroscope a
series of prisms which divides light
into a rainbow of colors.
Laboratory studies using the cleo
trlc furnace as a source of heat
have shown that each chemical ele-
ment has its characteristic spec
trum lines and, moreover, that lines
change with changes in tempera-
ture, pressure, electrical conditions.
and so on.
To date, however, it has not been
possible to obtain temperatures in
the laboratory as high as those on
the suns surface. Consequently. it
is expected that the solar furnace
will extend the range of laboratory
Investigations and thus lead to a
greater understanding of what goes
on in the sun.
Since the sun is a typical star.
the investigations also will lead to a
better understanding of the stars.

HARD LETTERS STUD GARDEN CARD WITH | BAER-L0UCHRAN GO.
Both Have Been Going Bad-
 ly in Past Month Strong Undercard Listed
BY HENRY McLEMORE fnitcd Press Stan COrrcSpOndcntl


 New York, Feb 6-UP)-Maxie Baer. slugging California youngster. has been made 6 to favorite to defeat Tommy Loughran, one time lightheavywe eight champion, in their feature ten-round engagement in Madison Square Garden tonight.
 Unless he knocks out the veteran Loughran 1t probably will be the kids lat fight in Garden wind-up for some time. A decision won't suf- flee. Nothing less than a smashing kayo will make the fans forget his ordinary work against Ernie Schaaf and Tom Heeney. and prevent his relegation to the preliminaries.
 His Big Chance
 The bout is no less as important 10 Loughran. That is. if he still has ambitions of regaining place among the first class heavyweights. if any. To-night's scrap marks Tom my's first appearance In New York ring since that night when Jack Sharkey sent him sprawling with blissering overland right.
 Loughran, despite his age, and miserable showing against such heavyweights as Jack Gross and Dick Daniels, is confident he will take Baer, and insists his added poundage has not slowed him up nor marred his boxing skill. Tommy probably is q trifle optimistic. The fact that both Gross and Daniels. along with King Levinsk, had him on the floor at one time or another, would indicate that his boxing's not what 1t used to be. For in his prime the Philadclphian was well-nigh right hand proof. If what he says Is true, however, Baer is in for an ar tistic boxing lesson. Even If Tommy Is no more than half his old self. he should be able to give the coast youngstcr trouble, for Baer knows less than nothing about boxing.
 Slam Bang Max
 The Californian's forte is hitting. If he lands couple of those wind up rights on Loughran's chin there will be nothing to it, for when Baer hits something has to give. In addi- ton to his punch the coast boy IS a glutton .or punishment.
 The other two ten-rounders on the card should be good fights, Ralph Ficucello, barrel Italian meets Paul Swiderski in the semi final, while Walter Cobb engages Stanley Poreda in the first ten. All of these boys are hitters and love to mix it. Your boxing customer asks for nothing more.

RumOrs of his permanent suspension were aflOat this mOrn- ing following his second beating tn as many nights, and COmniis- siOncr Tom DOnahue will prOb- ably rule him out for good. Be- cause 1t was Impossible to find anyone except Day and Joe Viz nali to substitute for the Harmon. LattnnxiO bout, Commissioners Joe LawlOr allowed Day to go on, rather than spoil tho show. He told Promoter George Mul1igan however, that, in his opinion, Day was not it to fight, and if ne could bring 1t about, Day would he told to "hanG up". After Law Tor was convinced 1t was utterly impossible to find anyone else to box Vignali besides Day, he al- lowed the New Haven hoy to go on, though 1t was against his bct- ter judgment.

Yale to Cut Down
 Football Program?

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 6. (UP)-A hint as to Yale's policy in this busy period of college athletic reforms was dropped by Professor R. Selden Rose, chairman of the university athletic board of control in an ad- dress before the Yale Alumni asso- citation last night.
 With the introduction of the house plan, now under way. football games may be reduced to five or six a season, said Rose. Coaches, he said, should all be ful-time men.
 As to the relative merits of pro- fessional and amateuy coaches. the chairman said Yale preferred to re- tain "the best man, regardless of his standing"

New York, May 2-(UP)-The killing of a well-known diamond merchant and two more daring jewel robberies which totaled near ly $50, sent city and state police on a wide search today for the band of jewel thieves who have been operating in New York recently.

 Detectives expressed the opinion robbers had forced levy into their automobile. robbed him and then threw his body into the water after strangling and shooting him to death. .
 Two well-dressed thieves walked into the apartment of Robert R. Livingston in the Riverside Drive section and robbed Mrs Livingston and a woman caller of jewels valued at $9.500.

WEATHER MEN OF NATION TO HOLD
 CONVENTION
Instead of Tending to Busi= ness and Giving Us Sunny Days They Are Going to Talk

Washington, May 2-(UP)-What with one thing and another, wealth CT conditions should be pretty bad next week. Instead of tending to their business of providing sunny May days for 120,0O0,000 clients, American weather men are coming to Washington for convention. Not even Washington stands to gain from the convention, although the A m rican Meteorological society will be meeting here. Weather is very much like cooking. One fore caster and an assistant or two can do nicely, but get too many weath- CT forecasters on the job and the weather is spoiled, just like the brother.
 Of course there are advantages. The worlds best opportunity to learn practically al their is to know about the ballon sonde mete- orograh is at hand. The first 10 minutes of the annual spring meet ing of the American Meteorological society has been dedicated to it.
 Then there will be big talk of snow crystals. air sea temperatures, frost penetration, and cautious all lusions to California weather.

Julius Barnes Warns the Government It Must Not Attempt 10 Enact ssDe- ceptive Legislative Parl- aceas" This Was Hit at State Unemployment Insurance

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Atlantic City, May 2.-(UP) The U. $. Chamber of Commerce left here to-day with mass of good in- tentions vocally expressed, to do something about the unemployment problem, but with no concrete and definite proposal as basis for ac- tion.
 All that stood on the record after the three-day sessions, in which un- employment was one of the chief considerations, was resolution en- dorsing a study already begun two months ago by special committees into "the possibilities of business and emploment stabilization.'
 The members went away with a warning of Julius Barnes. chairman of the organizations board of direc- tors, against any deceptive legisla- tive panaceas'' which was taken to r efer to some of the proposals for state unemployment insurance and. other advanced measures which crept into the various sessions.
 Barnes, however, spoke highly of the steps already taken by some in- dividual industries to stabilize erl- ployment and his message last night was taken as an encouragenent for
