UNAVOIDABLE QUOTA
ON TOOLS PROTESTED
American Chamber of Commerce
Tells France Effects of Huge
Invisible Credit.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 3.-The American
Chamber of Commerce yesterday pro-
tested to Minister of Commerce Rollin
against the projected unfavorable quota
of imported American machine tools.
A delegation headed by President
Charles Loeb of the chamber told the
commerce minister there is huge in
visible credit in favor of France which
has resulted in the importation Of bill
lions of francs of gold into France from
the United States in the past few years.
The delegation held that, in view of
this credit, there was no Justification for
Frances argument that the principal
reason for restriction of American i'm
ports is the deficit on the French bal
ance of trade with the United States
A Chamber Of Commerce communique
said that 1882 imports of American ma
chine tools would be limited to 10 per
cent Of the 1881 quota if the projected
quota was adopted.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Reynolds
Forsbrey. whom police once described
as the most dangerous criminal in
America, was convicted by a jury of
first-degree robbery yesterday
Judge Charles G. Mott jr set next
Wednesday as the day for sentencing
Forsbrey, who faces a life sentence as
a fourth offender.
Only last July his life sentence on a
murder charge was committed by Gov.
Roosevelt and he was placed on parole.
He had served several years.
Two other men on trial with Fors-
brey for the 500 hold-up on December
IS, last, of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road bus terminal here pleaded guilty
to robbery in the second degree Tues

WOLL AGAIN ISSUES
ATTACK ON DRY LAW
Tells Women's Group Organized
Labor Is Determined on Re-
peal of Volstead Act.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 3.-The prohibit
ton law, Matthew Woll said yesterday,
has been a ''monstrous failure" and
organized labor in America is more
than ever determined to have the Vol
stead act repealed Vol, vice president
of the American Federation of Labor,
spoke before the women's organization
for national prohibition reform.
Asserting that prohibition has led to
q vast increase in crime, Vol cited the
kidnapping of Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, jr., as one of the results, because
the profit of working outside the law
has been demonstrated.
Prohibition is costing the country
nearly $1,25O 100000 a year in lost
taxes. he said, adding that if only a
small part of this money could be used
for unemployment relief untold suffer-
ing would be relieved.

 stars Is Procyon, the Lesser Dog Star, which may perhaps be called
 white. There Is some difference In the degree to which star colors are observable to different pairs of eyes and except in the case of the pro- nounced reddish and blufsh- white

dark lines are well-known as the Frauenhofer lines, so named after their discoverer.
 The brilliant colored background of the spectrum is due to the light emitted by the very hot body of the sun or star in question; the dark
 lines are the places were certain colors or wave-lengths have been
 taken or absorbed out of the con- tinuous radiation ef the hotter star
 body by the incandescent but some-
 what cooler gases of the surround ing stellar atmosphere. The tenn perature of the stars was originally judged only from the continuous spectrum by comparing the color with that of perfectly absorbing
 body raised to different tempera- tures. Such a body is known as a
 "black" body and can, very nearly be realized in the laboratory by studying the light which comes out

One of the earliest physical ob-
 servations which man made in the realm of stellar astronomy was to notice the difference In star colors. Glance at the constellation of Orion
 which now lies close to the meri- dian at map-time; all the brighter stars. with one prominent excep- tion, are of distinctly bluish-white hue. The one exception Is. of course, Betelgeuze, the gigantic. reddish star. Compare these colors also with Aldebaran, in Taurus. which can be found by extending the line of Orion's Belt to the west ward, and Capella. in Auriga which is the first-magnitude star lying close to the zenith. Aldebaran is also slightly reddish or deep orange in color but not so pro-

of box having a small opening, the entire box being raised to diff ferent temperatures. A simpler ap- proximation is surface heavily covered with lampbiack. Of par ticular importance is the distribu- tion of radiated energy among the different colors (wave-lengths) at different temperatures. Then. by studying the distribution of the en- ergy in the light of the stars, one gets good Idea of the probable temperature of the star surface from whcih the light is coming.
 In this manner 1t is learned that the stars of reddish hue like Betel- geuze, have an effective surface Temperature of about $500 degree centigrade. But this method gives values which must be slightly in- correct because no star is really an ideal "black" body. However. it Is likely that measurements are not yetaccurate enough in this field for between various methods based on color and energy distribution. Stars like the sun have q surface temperature of about of about 6,000vok. .ffiY-mn tip T 5000 degrees 'centigrade, those in the hydrogen-type like Sirius about 10000 and those in the helium type like Rigel may have temperatures as high as 10000. A newer method of estimating stellar temperatures is based on the presence and in- tensity of certain llnes--which really means the intensity of the absorption of certain wave-lengt hs by the lower layers of the stellar atmosphere.
 It fs, of course. impossible for us in the present state of the science to measure the temperature of the inner parts of the sun or stars: we can observe only the outer layers. To get an idea of the temperatures which must prevail within the visi- ble surface, we must fall back on theoretical computations and these indicate that IL must be expressed in terms of millions of degrees: the material of the nucleus of q star is in a physical state for which our physical laws would demand thls staggeringly high number on the temperature scale.
 When one considers the enor- nous amounts of energy which the sun and each star pours out into space. 1t becomes rather difficult to find q source within the sun or star which can supply such quantities of heat for long--astronomical long--periods of time. In fact, none of the ordinary heat sources known or used by man could account for | 1t even if magnifled to any possible degree. The astronomer is forced to conclude that this energy source is within the atom itself. A source
 not yet available for mechanical purposes in our present state O
 knowledge. Within the atoms are the ultimate particles of which
 matter Is constructed. negative and positive units of electricity: under the conditions prevailing at tho stellar nucleus these break down from the matter state to the en- ergy state and the sun and stars gradually expend their substance as rndiatcd heat and liRhf.
