WOMAN OF 10, U. S. EMISsARy OF PEACE

America has chosen a woman

DR.. Mary Emma Woolley is the

College. and a liberal student of
international affairs, she is nomi-
mated by President Hoover as one
of the best minds to bear the
burden of Americas part in the
world conference that is the first
step toward abolition of war.
Mary Woolley is no dreamer.
Rather, she is an optimiSt, carry
ing in her mind prophetic
vision of a world where nations
shall no longer wish to fight.
Before leaving Washington on
he4 recent visit here. she said:
1T Is logical to hope that in
the not too far distant future,
the police force will be the only
army of civilized countries.
They will always need that,
because one can never hope to

ROAD WORK UP
STATE RESUMED
Concrete Soon to Be Poured
on Washington Street Ex-
Extension, Wilmington
FARNHURST WORK SOON

George & Lynch, road contrac-
tors, have started laying the sur
face Of the extension Of Washing
ton street from Thirty-seventh
street cutoff. The roadway involv-
es the laying Of 1900 feet Of con
crete paving. The roadway proper
will be 40 feet wide. There will be
a traffic circle at Forty-frst and
Washington streets, So feet in di-
ameter, with place for a fountain
or statue in tn center. There will
be wo branches running out from
the circle, one to Market street and
the cutoff and the other in q
northwest direction to the cutoff.
The branches will be paved with
concrete and will be 25 feet wide.
The city Of Wilmington did the
grading for the project and the
state is laying the concrete. The
States part in the work will cost
$27, 1000 The work will be done on
Of about January ]. 1888 d. f.

Temple Built to Honor
Great Egyptian Goddess

The temple at Denderah is one of
the most famous temples in all
Egypt. According to the historical
facts which the scientists have beer
able to dig out of the hieroglyphic
records. it was restored by Pharaoh
Pepi !. who lived four thousand
years ago in the Sixth dynasty.
There is a high wall round the
temple. with majestic gateway,
and to walk through this gateway
is to be awed by the majesty Of the
columns of the entrance hall. The
capitals Of these columns are
craven in the image Of Hathor, the
goddess to whom the temple is dedi-
Gated. She is represented as a WON
an with the ears Of heifer and
with hair flowing down both sides
of her head.
A center aisle leads through the
Hall of Columns to the shrine prop
er. On each side OF this aisle are
chambers which are identified by
hieroglyphic Inscriptions denoting
their particular uses. Also there is
a gallery encircling the shrine and
from this still other chambers open.
On the roof of the temple is a
shrine to Osiris and here there are
hieroglyphics describing the ritual
of the Osiris cult.

WAR PLANES ARE
NOW OUTMODED
One 1882 Pursuit Plane Has
Developed Equal to the
1918 Armada
GREAT STRIDES SHOWN

Westinghouse remarkable has
been the development Of aerial
warfare in the past 10 years, ac-
cording to army experts, that one
well-manned fighting plane Of 1882
would destroy an entire air armada
Of 191Sl
The Spads and the Fokkers in
which the wartime aces went forth
to engage in dog fights" over no
mans land are now as hopelessly
outmoded as milady's hat Of the
gay nineties, and the United States,
it now develops, is the leader in set
ting the new fashion in planes.
The army's Boeing P-12 + has
without challenge the highest rate
Of climb and is faster than any
other single scatter, air-cooled pur-
suit type in the world. There are
changes being made now in this
ship which will better its present
performance.
The 525-hOrSe power engine, the 1872
miles-an-hour speed, and the 10000
foot ceiling Of the P-12, combined
with a structural strength that was
never eQualed anywhere else, makes
it aviation's leading pursuit plane.
The planes Of the 1914-191S pc
riod were remarkable in that they
were the result Of a mushroom
growth in the development Of avia-
ton. The pressure Of war needs
caused rapid development in avia-
tion, but the development in peace
time has been as sure, If not as
rapid.
Observation and bombing planes
are not standing still.
The army has brought forth q
new aerial strategy-ground attack.
The Curtis XA-S is the army's new
est attack plane, and is different
Its earlier brothers were virtually
modified observation planes of the
biplane type. 1t is designed for
diving at great speeds. Mounting
machine guns under each wing and
guns fore and aft for the pilot and
gunner, it is a deadly weapon
against infantry. The United States
is ahead of all other nations in this
type of flying.
In any future wars the autogiro
may take the place of observation
balloons. The "giro" can hover
over a spot and move away in case
of attack, whereas a balloon must
be hauled down, Debated, and cart
ed away in several trucks.

Loss by Soil Erosion

The plant food removed from the
fields and pastures of America
every year by erosion is at least
twenty-one times more than that re
moved by the crops harvested, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The plant food taken by crops
can be restored in the form of fer
tilizer, but that taken by erosion
cannot be restored, because this
ruinous process takes the whole
body of the soil, plant food and all.
Land impoverished strictly by plant
food depletion, as sometimes re-
suits from continuous growing of
the clean-tilled crops. is not worn
out land; the only worn-out land is
that which has been so badly
washed by erosion that it would be
entirely futile to undertake its recla-
nation.

Measures of Time

In astronomy there are three
kinds of time-sidereal, apparent
solar time and mean solar time. The
first is used for astronomical pur-
poses exclusively; the last is the
ordinary time of civil life. Sidereal
time is the time defined by the
earth with respect to the stars, and
a sidereal day is the interval be
tween the passage of the meridian
across a star and its next succeed
ing passage across the same star.
Solar time is defined by the rota-
tion of the earth with respect to the
sun. Since the motion of the earth
is not uniform, solar time is not
satisfactory for daily use, and for
this purpose mean solar time has
been devised. The mean solar day
has the average length of all the
solar days of the year.
