S0UaroIy on Hoover

THREE days after delivering this
l. message, the President gave
out his famous twelve-point pro-
gram, point seven of which was the
creation of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, to furnish neces-
sary credit, otherwise understandable
under existing circumstances, and Sc
give confidence to agriculture, to in
dustry, and to labor"
If these three specific references
to the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration did not create an impression
that President Hoover visualized it
as an agency to lend money where
money was needed, and where it
could be secured by good collateral
regardless of whether the borrower
ran private or public business
there is something wrong with the
English language.

aside my clothes and pose as old

Such frugal garments as the year

Of late I have even been a little

possible for me to be no more than
a fully clothed kibitzer among the

insists upon conformity.

T1Uo Wars IN Europe Care
YerkeS Observatory IN Chi

BY DAVID DIETZ-

TWO wars gave Yerkes observa-
Il tory its new director, Dr.. Otto
Strive, whose appointment to that
famous post just has been an
nounced by the University of Chi
cago.
The first war was made by Napo-
leon. 1t was responsible for launch
ing the Strive line in a career Of
astronomy in Russia.
DR.. Otto Strive, a member of the
fourth generation of astronomers,
and the fifth member of the family
to be made the director of an OBJ
servatory, came to America as a re-
suit of the World war
DR.. Strive, a tall youthful looking
man who speaks English with a
slight accent, told me the story
some time ago at meeting of the
American Astronomical Society.
His great-grandfather, the first
Of the astronomical line, was Fried
rich George Wilhelm Strive, who.
along with Herschel and Bessel, laid
the foundations of modern astron-
omy.
MY great-grandfather was born
in the province of Holstein, then
Danish territory" Dr.. Strive told
me. During the Napoleonic wars.
he was arrested by a detachment of
French soldiers who were making
recruits forcibly for the French
army"

NR. ROBERT FROST, whom DR..
~ Strive succeeds as director of
the Yerkes observatory, brought
him to this country from Constan-
tlnople in response to a request
from the Strives in Berlin.
Students Of heredity and environ
ment should find the Strive family
worth studying. No doubt the he
realty enthusiasts will claim that
mere is an excellent example of the
Importance Of heredity.
On the other hand, in all proba-
plIlty, the environment enthusiasts
VIII claim victory for their side.
They will claim that it was the
environment of the great Pulkova
observatory, rather than hereditv.
which was responsible for the line
OF astronomers.
Inc average citizen will be will
ing to grant part Of the credit to
each' assuming that it was an in
herited aptitude plus growing up in
an astronomical atmosphere that
inclined the successive generations
OF the Strive family to the study
of the stars.
One important factor undoubtedly
was the fact that astronomy offered
q new challenge to each generation
Of Strives.
Often, a business man who has
oulIt great business, does not sue
coed in interesting his sons in it.
One reason is that he had the salts
faction Of building the business: his
sons do not care for the task of
operating it.
But each astronomer finds new
tasks awaiting him. Great-grand-
son Strive has just as much oppor-
tunity to pior eer in the study of
the stars as did great-grandfather
Strive.

There his work attracted so much

famous observatory at Pulkova, near

This observatory, at the time of

 Fall Schedule
Program Shows Activity Despite Economic Pressure
 North Stonington Quits

Hartford, July 22-Connecticut people are apparently appreciative of the fairs which are held in all parts of the state every fall if the number to be held this year is any criterion. While many fairs in other sections of the country have found it necessary to postpone holding exhibitions on account of the present business conditions. those in Connecticut, for the most part, are going on the same as ever.
 Thirty-five fairs are scheduled to be held in the state according to a list of fairs and dates just issued by the state department of agri- |cieties will not hold fairs this year, others have been organized SO that the total number is remaining fair ly constant. The fairs start eff in August and will continue through to the middle of October. One of the outstanding changes noted this year is that North Stonington 2 is not holding a fair.
 This is one of the older fairs of the state and for many years has played an important part in the lagriculture of New London coun- lty. The fair grounds with all their Buildings however are not going to be idle for the New London County All Club fair will hold its exhibition there on August 29-30. Other fairs which are cancelled
