Editor Times-There are many in
dependent voters in indianapolis
who often wonder what political
party The Times really is repre-
sentingl Certainly not the Demo-
cratic party; neither, I believe, does
It represent the sentiments Of the
independent voters.
We remember that, four years ago,
The Times advocated the election Of
Herbert Hoover to the presidency
against Al Smith. Now, in your
paper Of Friday, June 10, you edi-
torially come out in favor Of Al
Smith.
BY the same token that you were
wrong four years ago, you are wrong
now-that is, if you expect enough
independent votes to swing to Smith
30 elect him.
There were thousands, yea, tens
of-thousands, Of independent voters
who stayed away from the polls four
years ago, because we felt sure that
there was no good reason to vote
for either Hoover or Smith. If
Smith is nominated to oppose Hoo
yer again, it will be the same old
story Of four years ago.

kill the vegetation and make the

Paris green mixed with lime and

The top water minnow is one of
the best types health officers in va

found. This type of minnow also
multiplies rapidly, and that is an
other advantage.

vegetarian diet and unless it has
a plentiful diet of mosquito lar

ITALIANS MARCH ON

ON June 25, 1918, the rear guard
~ of Austro-H Hungarian forces
was forced back and Italian troops
completely recovered the west bank
Of the Pave, regaining the ground
lost to the enemy when the big
push Of the Austrians began on
June Is.
Allied troops then began a con-
certed offensive themselves, gaining
ground on the mountain front be-
tween the Piave and the Brenta, in
the Monte Grappa sector.
British air forces raided Saar-
brucken, Karlsruhe, Offenburg
Mannheim, Thionville and the Metz
SablonS railroad.
An aniline and soda factory at
Mannheim was bombed and other
damage in the area amounted to
millions of dollars.

TideS in the Sun
A cCoRDING to the planetesimal

A CCORDING to the planetesinal
n hypothesis, a very large star
passed by our sun.
AT its cloest, the visitor may have
been within a few billion miles of
the sun, perhaps within the present
limits of the solar system.
This passing star is believed to
have exercised a considerable gpavi-
rational pull upon our sun. It's eff
feet would be to raise two great
tides upon the fluid, gaseous surface
Of the sun.
One tide would be in the direction
OF the passing star. The other
would be in the opposite direction.
The tides raised in the sun by the
passing star were further aggravated
by the fact that the interior of the
sun has many explosive activities.
These activities are apparent to-
day in behavior of the sun-Spots and
in the solar prominences, great
tongues Of flaming gases which rise
from the surface of the sun. 1t is
highly probable that formation of
the tides increased explosive actiyi-
ties of the sun.
1t is assumed, therefore, in the
planetesimal hypothesis that great
amount of matter were erupted
from the sun.
Some of this fell back into the sun
again. Much of it, however, was
given a rotary pull by movements
of the passing star and so began to
revolVe around the sun.
This material is believed to have
cooled very quickly and to have con-
densed into small bits.
These are thought to have revolved
around the sun like little planets,
hence the name of "planetesimal
hypothesis" for the theory.
But it is assumed that the larger
planetesimal attracted the smaller
ones to them. In this way, it is as
sumed that the various planets and
their satellites took form, the larger
nuclei attracting the most material.
to themselves and becoming the
larger planets.

1t has been suggested by many
investigators that small pieces of
meat be fastened to pieces of wood
which are then allowed to float in
the pool. The fish will eat from
this for a considerable perod of
time.

larvae, but people who seem to be
well acquainted with the habits of
these fish feel that the sunf1sh and
the goldfish do not get along well
together.
While it is desirable to be certain
that the pool does not act as a
breeding place of mosquitoes, it also
is we'll to make certain that gut
tiers on the house, swampy spots
around the lawn, puddles near
rocks, or the overflow from the pool
are not acting as breeding places.

JefreYS and Jeans

DOTH the other two theories
II which seek to account for the
origin Of the planets may be con-
sidered as developments of the
planetesimal hypothesis.
One is the tidal theory, suggested
in 1913 by DR.. Harold Jeffreys of
England. This theory has been
developed largely by Jeffreys and
Sir James Jeans.
The other, known as the en-
counter theory, originally was sug-
gested in 1878 by A. w. Bickerton
of New Zealand. 1t was published,
however, in a biological journal and
apparently escaped the attention Of
astronomers in Europe and America.
This theory was revived in 1925
by A. c. Clifford. In its present
form, it utilities the advances made
in both other two theories.
The tidal theory contends that a
passing star caused a great wave of
material to be pulled out of the sun
and that the wave was given a ro-
GdIy IODlOll dIOuilU tii6 sun ny llO-
ton of the passing star.
So far, the tidal theory is much
like the planetesimal hypothesis.
However, it assumes that the wave
broke into comparatively large
masses of gases, which quickly as
sumed globular form and then
coled to form the planets and their
satellites.
Many authorities today think that
the tidal hypothesis or some mod
iflcation of it will fit the facts Of
geology better than the planetesimal
hypothesis.
The encounter theory assumes an
actual collision between the sun
and a passing star.
On the basis Of the law Of prob
ability, the encounter theory IS the
most unlikely, for the chances of
a close approach by another star
are thousands Of times greater than
the chances Of a hit.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Pldnetesimal Hypothesis Re-
garded as Most Likelv
Theory With Reference to
Origin of Earth.
THREE theories hold the center
i Of the stage today as the most
successful attempts to explain the
origin of the earth and other
planets.
All three regard the formation
of the various planets as the result
of an accident to our sun in which
a second star was involved.
One theory, known as the plan
etesimal hypothesis, was suggested
by Drs. F. r. Moulton and T. c.
Chamberlin in 1900. It still Is re-
garded by many scientists as the
most likely theory.
Modern astronomical research in
dicates probable age of fifteen
trillion years for the sun, while
geological study suggests an age of
1000 100000 years for the earth.
This means, therefore, that the
sun must have existed for trillions
OF years without any accompanying
planets. Then, few billion years
ago, an accident happened to the
sun. The result was the earth and
the other planets.
This view may not seem compi-
mentary to the earth. But the his
tory of astronomy has been a con-
tinuous demotion of the earth from
the place 1t once was supposed to
occupy as the center of the entire
universe.
And it must be remembered that
compared to the sun, the amount of
matter in the rest of the solar svs-
tenn is exceedingly small. The sun
accounts for 1886 per cent of the
mass of the solar system.

in convention assembled, should
pause for one minute of silent
prayer in honor of the year when
this requirement saved the party
from choice both tragic and lit
tie comic.
The Baltimore session Of 1912
would have set Champ Clark in the
saddle instead of Wilson but for
the rule which now is placed under
fire.
I hold that a rule which has
worked well once in a hundred years
has done enough to justify its eX-
istence. And yet this argument is
feeble enough if you do not hap
pen to admire Woodrow Wilson, and
some do not.

Too Late to Change

THERE is nothing sacred about
4 the two-thirds rule. It merely
represents a practice of long stand
ing, which the Democratic party is
at liberty to do away with at any
time.
Common decency demands that if
this were to be done, it should be
done before the race starts, not as
the contenders are about to cross
the finish line.
Governor Roosevelt has lost
heavily in public estimation dur
ing the last few days. If there is
one thing the average American
dislikes more than another it is
welching on the rules of a game
after the game has begun. The
average American takes such con-
duct as a sign of weakness.

Through American initiative, the
dangerous yellow fever mosquito

There are still available, however,
mosquitoes which sting and produce
an itching and irritation of the skin.
The methods useful in stamping
out mosquitoes in tropical areas will
do equally well around summer
homes, but some of them are not
desirable, because they kill vegeta-

Roosevelt Stands Before the
Country as Willing to
Change a Century Old
Practice for HIS OaOn Ben
ettft, Without Regard for

NEW YORK, June 25.-People
IN have right to interpret
Governor RooSevelt's attitude
toward the two-thirds rule as in
dicating his conception Of political
strategy and power.
It furnishes a vivid illustration Of
what he might do under certain
conditions and what might move
him to do it.
He stands before the country as
willing to change a century-old
practice for his own personal bene-
fit, and without regard to what is
just for his opponents.
He and his opponents started
their race for the Democratic
presidential nomination on the as
sumption that the two-thirdS rule
would prevail.
Having failed to corral sufficient
number of delegates to nominate
him under that rule, but controlling
a majority, as he believes, Cover
nor Roosevelt is ready to win, if he
can, by switching rules at the elev-
enth hour.

T DO not think that any moral
/ issue is involved in the contro-
versy about the retention or aboli-
ton of the two-thirds rule in the
Democratic convention. The fact
that the practice has prevailed for
a hundred years by no means makes
it right.
Nor am I moved by the cries of
those who declare. that Franklin
D. Roosevelt is something less than
a good sportsman in supporting this
last-minute rush to amend the by
laws.
It seems to me that the contest
for the nomination should not be
regarded as something carried on
Just for love Of the game.
And yet 1 hope the rule will not
be changed this year. My feeling
in the matter is governed wholly
by the fact that don't want to
see Governor Roosevelt get the
nomination.
People who favor him have every
reason to support the shift in the
code. Let both sides fight it out
to a decision. What could be fairer
than that?
AS far as abstract theory goes,
there is not too much to be said
for the traditional regulation Of the
Democrats. On many occasions the
rule has served to kill of the party's
strong men. Two or even three
of the leading candidates would be-
come locked in a strangle hold and
eventually drown together.
And in such instances the heir
would turn out to be some innocent
bystander whose name hardly had
been mentioned before the fighting
began.
