Reversing LAYER


TINE suns atmosphere is divided
i by the astronomer into two re-
gions, known as the reversing layer
and the chromoSphere.
The reversing layer is the part of
the atmosphere which lies immedi-
ately above the suns surface. It's
name. which seems an odd one,
comes about as a result of the effect
which this layer of gas has on the
spectrum of the sun.
1t is called the reversing layer be-
cause 1t is responsible for the dark
lines in the spectrum of the sun
Were it not for this layer, the lines
would be bright
The reversing layer consists of
most of the chemical elements
known here on earth. There are
familiar gases, such. as oxygen and
nitrogen and the vapors of many
substances such as iron, copper,
magnesium, calcium and so on.
These substances exist as gases
on the sun because of the
tremendous temperature of the sun.
The reversing layer extends up
ward for few hundred miles and
then merges into the second division
of the solar atmosphere, which as
tronomers call the chromosphere.
The chromosphere extends to a
height Of several thousand miles.
"Chromos" is the Greek word for
color
The reason for this name is that
when the chromosphere becomes
visible during a total eclipse of the
sun, it is seen to be colored blood
red.
The chromosphere is composed
chiefly of the lighter gases, hydro
gen and helium.

Notification Results

WHEN a problem arises, there
w always has been an argu-
ment as to whether the federal gov
eminent or the states should
solve it.
Generally, the argument has been
settled without involving the Con-
stitution.
After the Civil War, three amend
ments were added. Whether they
we're necessary, they have been
subjected to more or less nullif1ca-
ton.
The prohibition amendment also
was due to war fever. If it affected
only section of the country, we
probably should let notification take
care of it.
There is a deal of difference be-
tween the eighteenth and fifteenth
amendments. While there Is lit
tie excuse for more than a dozen
states ignoring the latter, practical
ly all states find themselves unable
to obey, or abide by the former.
Notification has become a coun-
trywide blot as far as the eight
zenith amendment is concerned. So
We arrive at point where both
major parties are willing to con-
slider repeal

SCIENCE
-..BY DAVID DIETZ-

- ID La IL LII ~ -
Outer Region Of Sun IL Di-
Uided Into Three Ports
Surface. atmosphere and
Corona.
THE astronomer divides the
Il outer region Of the sun into
number of parts. 1t is necessary
to have a knowledge Of these d.
visions to appreciate fully the
eclipse of the sun, which occurs
on Wednesday.
These divisions are three in
number. First, there is the suns
surface. Next, there is the sun
atmosphere. And, finally, there is
the corona, a sort of extremely ten
uous gaseous envelope surrounding
the atmosphere and trailing off
into space.
The solar surface is known to as
tronomers as the philosophers. This
word comes from the Greek, pho
tos," meaning light" The name
is appropriate, since the suns light
arises in the photoSphere.
The philosophers is the luminous
surface visible with an ordinary
telescope. The sun spots and other
visible markings are on the pho
tosphere.
It must be remembered. however.
that the philosophers does not con-
Stitute a surface in the sense that
the earth has solid surface. The
philosophers is itself gaseous
The solar atmosphere consists of
luminous but practically transpar-
ent gases. 1t can not be seen with
telescope.
During total eclipse of the sun,
when the disc Of the moon blots out
the sun. little of the solar atmo-
sphere can be seen protruding be-
yond the edge OF the moon.

Field of Sheer SIJrmiSe

1T seems to me that until we know
L q great deal about that which
is not practicable it might be good
idea to go extremely slow in any
plan for compulsory sterilization.
1t might be possible, of course, for
the community to arrive at some
generally accepted conception of
what constitutes an idiot, and
think few would contend against
measures designed to prevent him
from perpetuating himself.
But the word 'misfit" will require
the sharpest sort or definition.
There is, of course, the important
question as to whether man must be
moulded to meet the sort of world
we now have or whether it might
not be better to work the other way
round and make the world for man.
We all know individuals who are
extremely i'll adjusted to the
machine age. There are many who
do not fit into any of the cogs of
highly speeded industrialism.
Their ineptitude may be so great

ON Aug. 30, 1918, allied troops
~ continued their sweeping adj
vance on a front of near sixty miles
in northern France.
The French took Mt. st. Simeon

several places.
British forces continued their
wide gains except at Bellecourt

retreating forces in the vicinity.
Combles and Clery fell during the
day, however, and in some sections
British infantry advanced so rapid

THE geneticists just have held

that / can reply is that there are
gentlemen interested in the science
of genetics.
But I am not quite such that it is

who used to be good high jumper

POLITICAL Com MOTION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3o.-This re-
L Npublic is about to hold its
thirty-seventh presidential election,
with repeal Of an amendment to
the Constitution as one of the most
important issues.
From an historical standpoint, the
venture must be put down as novel.
We have added many words to the
Constitution, but this is the first
time we have considered taking
some out of it.
When you dig deeper, you find
that the issue involves theories of
government on which our fore
fathers split at the very beginning.
Ever since the Constitution was
adopted, there have been Federal
lists and -Federahsts; those who
believed in more government and
those who believed in less.
State rights, as opposed to CEN
trahzed authority, account for most
of our political commotion.

Confirmed by Prohibition

DROHIBITION, as provided for by
4 the eighteenth amendment and
Volstead act, has confirmed their
views.
With all its power, the federal
government has been unable to over
come local tendencies, or even
neighborhood convictions.
Added to the natural spirit of de-
f1ance which meddling with old
habits involved, there has been a
general revolt against the obvious
loss Of liberty and independence.
Not only individuals, but COM
munities, resented the loss of free
dem, and they resented it as some
thing which this government was
designed to avoid.

Same Old lSSlle

T EFT no one be deceived as to
~ the underlying principle. It's
the same old issue - bureaucracy
versus local self government.
When it comes to a showdown
the American people are as genu-
inely opposed to Capitalization as
were their forefathers.
No matter how industrial organ
ization may appear to call for it,
they doubt the virtue of it's ultimate
effect.
This is a deep-seated tradition
with the American people. They
dread the development of unneces-
sary power at Washington. They
think of it as too dangerous and
far-away force to be trusted.
They appreciate the weakness of
local self-government. They realize
perfectly well how slipShod and in
effectual it can become. But, and in
spite of all that, they see something
of value in its intimate, human side.

New Cancer Treatment


.ganic solutions which, under the proper conditions
develop extremely short and penetrating ultraviolet
rays was announced at the annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society in Denver.
The new treatment represents the elimination
of four years work at the University of Pennsylvania
under direction of DR.. Elice Mcdonald we'll known
In the world of science as a student of cancer
The solutions used develop rays capable of killing
cancer cells in twenty seconds, DR.. Mcdonald
reported
DR.. McDonalds discovery undoubtedly is an inn
portant gain in the war on cancer But the war
still is far from won
In the past, cancer has been treated successfully
on many occasions with the surgical knife the x-ray
and radium rays. Purpose of these treatments is
either to remove or kill the cancercus growth And.
IN general, when the cancer is discovered early
enough the treatment is successful
However, the big difficulty is to diagnose a. cancer
IN time. cancer of the skin can be detected easiv
and quickly At other times a cancer may be so
situated as to give early evidence of its presence
But, unfortunately, it is possible for cancer to
be so deeply seated within the body that its presence
is not detected until it is too late to use either the
surgeons knife, x-ray or radium
Whether DR.. McDonalds solution will prove use
tul IN such cases remains to be seen. It would seem
as though his method might be used in many cases
where location of the was such that it could
not be reached conveniently otherwise

the medical world today. A generation ago, infant
mortality was high Today it is low and most infants

the diseases of old have become greater problems
The two most important classes Of these are the
so-called degenerative dseases-hardening of the
arteries, the wearing cut and breakdown of various
organs, etc-and the various types of cancerous
growths
While the death rate from cancer is high it is
important to remember that cancer if detected early

pected reputable physician should be consulted
