Suns Interior

THE internal temperature and
Il condition Of the sun is. of
course, matter of theoretical opin-
ion. Modern astronomers, however
feel certain that the sun does not
have liquid or solid core, but IS
gaseous throughout,
The central portion, however is a
gas such as we can not conceive of
on earth, for it must be a gas under
a pressure of millions of tons &c the
square inch.
1t is thought to remain gaseous
under this tremendous pressure he
cause OF the equally high tempers-
ture. Professor A. S. Eddineton Of
cambridge calculates that the in
ternal temperature of the sun must
be about 100000 degrees.
According to Professor Eddino+on-
the sun retains its shape and con-
tlnues to function as going con-
Germ" because of balance between
two opposing forces.
one is the gravitational DUH of
the particles of the sun upon each
other. This force alone would col.
lapse the sun, causing it to liouifv
and eventually solidify.
The other force is that of "radia-
lion pressure" the outward pressure
OF the light waves as thew make
their way to the surface of the sun
and so out into space.
Modern research has demonstrat-
ed that light exerts real pressure
ana therefore has weight. As Edz
alngton says, it would be lust as
logical to speak of a pound of LIGHT
as pound of iron. s
Radiation pressure alone would
cause the sun to explode and flv to
pieces. 1t is the balance between
graVltational pull and radiation
pressure which keeps the sun as
it is. sun 40

If People Are Going to Coz
ern Themselves, They Must
Stay With the Job.
Says:

NEW YORK, June 21.-Politics
IN has become the business of
small, but well-organized, minor
tiles in this country. The vast ma
jority of people do not take active
and continuous interest in it. That
explains why they often are out in
the cold when they want to express
themselves.
Just now the people would like to
express themselves on prohibition.
They find it difficult, because they
have lost control Of the machinery.
The noise at Chicago last week
was meaningless, for the simple
reason that the Republican con-
vention had been packed. Tt had
been packed while the people slept
packed by the clever campaigning
of few workers.
There is no mystery about the
lack of media for political expression
in these United States. We have
adequate equipment, but fail to
make use Of it.

The Long, Long Trail

once police chief, cringes into federal court
and pleads guilty to evading paying income
taxes on an incredible "take" on a small Off

lie comes, tight Tipped and silent. He
comes under the advice of partner of q
United States senator as his attorney. He
tells nothing. He presumably is ready to
serve sixteen years in the penitentiary,
rather than take the people into his conf
oence as to where he got the money on which
ne tailed to pay Uncle Sam.
He goes to join the others of the nioh+-
gowned order who have found their wav
into prison cells or lodged them by pleading
the statute of limitations.
The Khan and the prohibition law made
Worley possible.
Before the Khan and prohibition worlo,,
was rather cheap detective, shrewd but
unimportant./
Inc Khan and prohibition made him the
Dig shot OF the town, raised him to the Mace
Where he could dictate policies and noinole
with the respectable and the important.
When Stephenson came into power. it was
Worley who stood at his side and brouoht
Cofilnlsm into full flower. It still blooms.
1t was Worley who knew the possibilities
Oh the prohibition racket and who understood
the weaknesses of those who came into Office
through Stephenson. His hour struck. He
was ready
His official salary was never more than
That OF good mechanic. He lived like
millionaire.
The government, probably by mistake,
Tor the department Of justice is not in the
full confidence of the people, discovered that
Worley had more money than seemed
plausible.
Could it have been that his real crime
was quitting the Republican machine which
ne once served so we'll when the nightgown
was in flower?
AT any rate, he pleads guilty to refusing
to split his i'll gotten gains with the govern
ment. There is no pretense that any dollar
ne received in the years he failed to report
was an honest dollar. He is sent to Jail for
failing to divide graft with the government.
1t is a long, long trail that he followed.
1t is the same trail that nearly every man
who capitalized hate has gone.
There are still few left, but not MANY.
Stephenson is in a cell for life. Walb is out
again. So is Rowbottom. Jackson escaped
by pleading the statute of limitations. The
others have been voted out of office by the
people. Most of them are ostracised and sent
to oblivion.
But it would be interesting to know lust
how much Worley made and how he made
it. Evidently the partners of senator who
defended him advised silence
The farce of it is that the government
prosecutes him for refusing to divide the
graft. 1t does not send him to jail for fail
ing to pay taxes on income earned or de-
served.
Once again, prohibition and the Khan
reveal themselves for what they are
One question remains. Why the silence?
Worley may be guilty alone of evading taxes.
He was not alone in illicit revenue.

Ignorance Is Appalling

Ut is doubtful whether the Amer
l. lean people realize just how bad
ly they have fallen down on the job
of politics. Scarcely half Of them
vote. No President within the last
sixty years has been elected by an
actual majority of eligible voters.
Voting is only part of the duty
which politics implies. Unintelligent
voting generally is worse than no
voting, and we have vast amount
of that.
Just before election, nothing is
more common than to hear voters
ask, what do you know about this
or that candidate?" or "Can you
explain such or such question:"

TO grasp the full importance of

about the nature of the sun and it's

Accordingly, let us review briefly.
the known facts about the sun he
lore passing on to a discussion Of
the newer researches. e
The sun is the center around
which the rest of the solar system
moves. According to generally ac-
cepted theories, all members of ths
solar system originated in material
hurled forth from the sun. (son7a
authorities think the comets and
meteors may have had a different
origin.) N'''
The earth and other members OF
the solar system are slight in COM
parison with the sun. The sun Is
a great self-luminous yellowish-
white. whirling sphere Of heated
gases, with diameter almost ITO
times that Of the earth.
The diameter Of the earth is 1920
miles. The diameter of the sun is
864,100 miles. The volume of the
sun is so great that it would take
100000 globes the size Of the earth
to equal the volume Of the sun.
The sun is a great seething fur
mace, the intensity of whose heat :

lace temperature of the sun is about
10000 degrees, Fahrenheit.
ct is about 5000 degrees on the
centlgrade scale, the one commonly

Skates on Thick Ice

consciousness of their plight and
the need for action. On the con-

head in the temple of Mammon,
and he has striven to write a book
which would catch the eye of the

His treatise consists of fancy
skating on very thick ice. For in
stance, it is a great pity that any,
body ever told William z. Foster
about Recommendation. He has taken
the idea to heart, but gone far
astray in its manipulation.
Thus I found on Page 18 of his

Now this seemed to me an in
teresting and indeed a sensational
statement. And I wondered what
weu-known observer Of social phe-
nomena had noted this extraor-

to this work several weeks ago
and since then, Captain Waugh
has visited several army posts in
the east where new motion picture
theatres have recently been con-

Smyrna received assistance over

Laura Lee Circle of Kings Daugh-

and other societies to see that no

clothing and toys to bring Christ
mas cheer to those really in need.
Max Harrington of Dover, one of
Kent County's investigators, made
several trips to Smyrna before
Christmas and worked with the
ladies of the above named organi-
zations, the result being that
Christmas cheer was taken into
every known home where a report
on investigation showed absolute
need. The Kings Daughters had
the situation well in hand and
furnished valuable information
along these lines. Misses Marion
Speakman, Laura Lee Corley, and
Anne Jones, of the Smyrna Fam
lily Group, did more in this good
movement than the average citizen
realized Quantities of clothing
were collected and distributed in
homes of the needy, and food too.
In all cases the above named or
ganizations took real Christmas
cheer to places that would have
been without, had it not been for
their activity. Prof. G. w W.
Schantz of Smyrna, and Max Har-
