Observatory to Study the Sun
WiH Be. Established on Mt.
st. Katherine, Near Sinai.
THE Smithsonian Institution will
establish an observatory to
study the sun upon Mt. st. Kathe4
rine in the Sinai desert, twelve miles
south of Mt. Sinai. While tradition
accepts Mt. Sinai as the peak which
Moses is supposed to have assembled
to receive the Ten Commandments
many Biblical scholars think it
more likely that Mt. st. Katherine
is the peak indicated by the Bibli-
cal story. 1t is the taller of the
two mountains.
The new observatory viii make
daily observations of the amount OF
heat and light radiated by the sun,
accordingJto DR.. Charles G. Abbot,
famous authority upon the sun and
secretary of the Smithsonian InSti-
tuition.
For many years the astro-physical
observatory of the Smithsonian In
stitution has carried on studies OF
the sun under DR.. Abbot's direction.
Daily measurements of the suns
radiation are made at solar obSer-
vatories located in Washington, b.
c., Table mountain, California, and
Montezuma, Chile.
The new observatory on Idt. st.
Katherine takes the place of one
formerly located at Mt. Brukkaros
in southwest Africa.
This station had to be abandoned
because haze and terrific winds in
terfered with its successful opera
ton.

No Cash for Roosevelt

wv OOOlI IOl IlOOOOF VII
NEY chief complaint against the
1V1 Democrats is that they don't
seem to read the papers, or at least
not the one for which I write.
Today I received letter with an
enclosed stamped envelope from the
Democratic national committee.
I am asked to add my name to
"a group of journalists who are
helping personally and financially
in the campaign of the Honorable
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Pres
idency," and later on the committee
says, I'VE suggest that your check
be directed to national CAMPAIGN
headquarters. Room 405, the Hotel
Biltmore."
Now, it seemed to me that I had
made it tolerably plain that I was
for Norman Thomas for President,
Louis Waldman for Governor, and
Morris Hillquit for mayor. I have
chased upstate on week-ends and
spent few nights on street cor
nerS, and I have explained myself
over and over again in the column
to the extent of dull redundancy.
will not send a check to Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. In fact, I am keep
ing the Scent stamp.
Then there was Mr.. Hoover's
speech on craftsmanship, followed
only a few days later by the an
nouncement that his close friend,
Henry Ford, had posted bulletins in
his Offices and factories suggesting
that it might be pretty smart for
all Ford employees to vote the Re-
publican ticket.
Nor should forget the curious
complexion which the campaign
has taken on in certain sections on
the route sheet of Secretary Mills.
From reading the accounts in the
pubic press, one readily might
gather the impression that the two
candidates for the presidency were
Secretary Mills himself and a gem
tleman named Garner.
In many respects I feel that
Democratic strategy has been much
keener than usual, but in Just one
phase OF the fight it has not
grasped an obvious opportunity. ]
am referring again to that chink in
the armor known as John Nance
Garner.
Democratic Ball and Chain
1T is obvious by now that the
4 Speaker has been a handicap to
his ticket in some sections of the
country. If Hoover lives up to the
promises Of the various rolls and
carries Massachusetts,, Connecticut
Rhode Island and New JERSEY. the
answer will be McAdoo, Hearst and
Garner.
The wounds engendered by the
Chicago convention nave been
healed to surprising degree. save
in the sections which I have men
toned. Even Al Smiths belated
conversion to the cause has rot
been quite sufficient to carry all his
followers along. In truth, there
are certain Democrats who are
more passionate Smith men than
Al himself.
And it is before these groups that
Gamers name has been waved like
red banner in bull ring.
But the answer is so simple. Why
doesn't Franklin D. Roosevelt or
some other responsible Democratic
leader merely say, Yes, we admit
that John Nance Garner is pretty
terrible, but how about Charlie
Curtis?S

Attacking on Both Fronts

nF course, the campaign has not
" been consistent throughout.
After hammering Franklin D..
Roosevelt on the ground that he
came from Well-to-do and some
what fashionable family, the Repub-
licans have turned to rend him be-
cause he is no more than a fourth
cousin, once removed, of Theodore
Roosevelt and only a fifth cousin of
Alice Longworth. His blood is too
blue in one attack, and in the next
he should be rejected as parvenu.
Not all the trivialities of the cruel
campaign justly can be attributed to
the Republicans. One of the chief
arguments advanced by the pictorial
publicity heads of the rival party is
the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt
always is smiling. He has grinned
that wide grin now in practically
every State in the Union.
Mr.. Hoover can not match him in
this respect, although the cartoonist

carried were in the south.
But we are not fighting the cam

Coined as Much as He Lost
By the Religious Issue in
1923.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Certain
IN Republican leaders profess to
be stunned by the Newark speech
Of Alfred E. Smith. The idea, of
course, is fathered by a wish. They
really want to be shocked. 1t gives
them an excuse for imagining
things.
Well, as Mr.. SmiEh would say,
this. is no Burchard faux pas. The
listeners merely heard a disap-
pointed man dabble in some dirty
water, which most of them hoped
had gone by the mill.
MIR. Smith showed poor taste and
worse judgment in singing out Ma
bel Walker Willebrandt as the chief
target for his attack.
His indictment of the Republican
national committee for catering to
intolerance in the campaign Of 1928
only served to revive bitter memo
ries of its effect on his own party.
He might have brought the issue
down to date by accusing the Hoo
yer board Of strategy of angling for
Catholic votes in 1882, just as it
angled for Ku-Klux Khan votes four
years ago.
He would have lost nothing had
he declared himself as thoroughly
Disguised with the latter scheme
as with the former.

Growth Stimulated by
Meat Scraps in Ration

II seems TO be the usual practice to
feed no other protein supplement
when chicks are given liquid milk as
the only drink. However, a small
amount Of meat scraps is sometimes
added to the mash. Some expert
ments have been conducted at Pur-
due TO determine the value Of differ
ent levels Of meat scraps in ration
where chicks have milk only to drink
In these experiments, a ration con-
tanning no meat scraps was compared
to rations containing 5. 10 and Is
per cent Of meat and bone scraps
The chicks in all lots received liquid
buttermiIk as their only drink.
The rations containing 5 per cent
meat and bone scraps gave much
more rapid growth than those con-
tanning no meat scraps. While 10 per
cent meat scraps was somewhat su-
perior TO per cent, the increase In
the rate Of growth was not as great
as that produced by per cent meat
scraps compared TO no meat scraps.
In the first experiment in which Is
per cent meat scraps was fed the
chicks did not grow satisfactorily. No
explanation can be given for this poor
growth since no abnormal conditions
were observed in the post-mortem ex-
aminations of a number Of these
chicks.-Indiana Farmers Guide.

LET PULLETS HAVE
FOOD THEY PREFER
Good Policy to Cater to
Their Appetites.

By r. z. ANDREWS. New York state Coli
lege Of Agriculture-WNu Service
Since poultry must be fed in fiocks,
the pullets should be separated into
groups that are fairly uniform as to
size and laying condition. The needs
of a puIlet laying heavily and OF one
that has not started TO lay. are quite
different II they are both in the
same flock they cannot be fed efhcient-
ly. Many different systems of feeding
are used, but the only successful ones
are those that make the birds eat
enough grain and mash TO maintain
their weight, and give enough over
TO lay satisfactory number OF eggs
Pullets that have been accustomed
to eating their grain from hoppers
should have their grain in hoppers
when they are housed. Later the
amount may be reduced in the hop
pers and some grain scattered in the
litter. But TO change abruptly may re-
tard development and cause the pull
lets to lose weight. At Cornell, rec
ords show that 100 hens, weighing
about four to four and half pounds
each, must eat "A to 25 pounds of feed
each day TO lay at the rate Of 80 per
cent and maintain body weight II the
amount declines only two or three
pounds, they lose weight and egg lay
ing slumps.
Sometimes, for apparently no rea-
son, pullets refuse TO eat enough 10
lay and to keep their weight II this
situation continues many days slump
in laying or molt, or both, may re-
suit Then the skill of feeding is TO
get them to eat more food. The mash
may be moistened with milk or semi
solid buttermilk. 1t nay be necessary
TO cater TO their appetites, they may
eat more corn or more wheat, but give
them whatever they prefer.
Whatever the kind or mixture OF
the feed, allow at least one foot Of
feeding space for every five birds.

Sun Rays for Chicks

Much has been said about the vital
izing effects Of ultraviolet rays on
growing chicks. There is some neces-
sary effect which these rays exercise
upon chick systems, giving them the
power to assimilate more Of the min

their ration.

Christmas

Throughout the Christian world Christmas is celebrated in commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, although the day or even the year of that event is not definitely known. Observance of Christmas was first officially set for Decem- Der 25 by Pope Julius, in the fourth century, probably be- cause certain pagan festivals were held at that time of the year.
 Even to this day many of the customs which surround the Christmas season m " b e traced to pagan origins. This may be accounted for by the fact that early missionaries did not disturb the harmless nat. i've customs of their converts to Christianity, but gradually merged them with Christian observances. Thus the giving of gifts, the decorations of hol- ly and mistletoe, the fea3ting and other features of Christ mas celebration are of very ancient origin.
 Christmas, therefore, may be said to have a double signifi- cance-one religious, the other social-the latter perpetuating the customs of many peoples. 1t is the worlds most widely observed holiday, and it's social observance is by no means con- fined to adherents of Christian ity.
 No day s so generally per vaded with the spirit of "peace on earth, good will toward men," While there has long been a tendency to commercial ize the Christmas season, it is marked by much genuine char ity and kindliness, and the cheery greeting Merry Christ mas" is usually a sincere ex- pression of friendlineSs and good wishes.
