TT is unnecessary to look far for
a an explanation of President
Hindenburg's obvious desire to side
track Hitler. From all that we can
learn, his natural Sympathies are
with the movement. That being so,
he must doubt the man.
Hindenburg may be mistaken.
Other men, as old, honest and wise
as he, have been mistaken. But
his attitude is worth considering.
He is close to the scene of action.
has lived long in Germany, and
knows something about human ma
ture.
His unwillingness to make Hitler
head of the state is not particu-
larly good recommendation for the
latter, and the outside world SO
should interpret it.
AS a genuine leader, Hitler might
cause trouble, but he would Offset
it with solid, constructive work. If
a miSft, he will only cause trouble,
and that well may be what Presi-
dent EIindenburg is thinking about.
Movements that are coherent and
that have a definite purpose in mind
generally result in good, no matter
how radical or reactionary they
may appear. The real danger lies
in aimless conmotion. Leadership,
or lack of it, spells the difference.
If Hitler doesn't know his stuff,
Germany is in for bad time, and
so are some other people. The thing
most to be feared is confusion, and
that is what will come if the Ger
man Fascist movement is turned
loose without an able head.

Making Money More Merry

A ND even if the experiment fails
N to effect much desired stabil-
ization, something might be gained
by making money just a shade
more merry. All peoples who use
silver seem to me to get a greater
amount ofrfun out of spending than
do the slaves Of the greenback.
But if the silver dollar is to come
into it's highest aesthetic poten-
tialitieS, we first must repeal pro-
hibition. Next to rain upon a tin
roof, I know of no more pleasant
sound than the clank of money on
top of a polished bar. There is a
sense of mastery in tossing a coin
upon such a surface and exclaiming,
Bartender, this round is on me"
One has feeling of kinship with
Morgan and Marlowe. I refer to
Henry the pirate, and Christopher,
the poet:
Of course, in this speakeasy age
one hardly could carry the where
withal for so much as a single round

SCIENCE
Sun Spots May GiUe AnslCer
to Most Battling of Solar
Problems.

Problems.
GUN spots constitute one of the
- suns most interesting features
and one of the suns greatest
mysteries. Daily studies of sun
spots are part Of the regular pro-
gram of several of the worlds
greatest observatories.
The sun is photographed daily at
these observatorieS so that COM
plete record Of the number. size and
position of all sun spots can be
kept.
The observatories engaged in this
work include the great Mt. Wilson
observatory in California, the
Meudon observatory in France and
the Kodiakanal observatory in
India.
Many astronomers feel that a
complete knowledge of cause and
behavior of sun spots would result
in a complete solution of many of
the most battling problems con-
corning the sun.
Sun spots are the most con-
spicuous features upon the surface
of the sun. They became visible
as dark spots upon the suns sur
face when a telescope equipped with
the proper dark eyepiece is used.
Occasionally, sun spots of such
great size occur that they become
visible without a telescope when
the sun is viewed through a piece
of heavily smoked glass or very
dark Photographic negative.

NN Aug. II, 1918, the United
~ States war department an
nounced the organization of the
First American Field army, under
direct leadership of General John
j. Pershing, with five army corps
included.
Commanders of the five corps
were: First, Major General Hunter
Liggett; second, Major General
Robert Lee, Billiard; third, Major
General William M. Wright; fourth,
Maj General George w. Read;
fifth, Major General Omar Bundy.
Each army corps numbered more
than 100000 men and the field army
more than 100000 men.
Meanwhile, allied forces continued
to push back the distressed Ger
man troops opposing them on the
western front. French united adj
vanced more than four miles north
of Montdidier.

Nature of Spots

NNE important fact to be grasped
~ is that the sun spots are not
really dark, but only dark by con-
trast with the rest of the sun.
Actually, the light of sun spot is
as bright as that of an electric arc
light.
The sun is so bright that one can
not view it with the unprotected
eye. When a dark glass is used, it
cuts down the light of the entire
sun a considerable amount.
The light of the sun spots is cut
down so much that the spots APP
pear dark by comparison with the
rest of the suns disc.
AS viewed through a telescope, a
sun spot consists of two portions,
a dark central portion, known as the
umbra, and lighter fringe around
the umbra. known as the penumbra.
Frequently several spots will have
a common penumbra. It also is
common to find brilliant Streaks
stretching like bridges across the
penumbra.
There is no regularity as to shape
or size among the sun spots. The
size and shape Of the penumbra
with reference to the umbra also is
subject to wide variation.
Frequently, the penumbra will ex-
list only one one side of the umbra.
or it may extend to much greater
distance on one side than it does on
the other.
The quality of light given off by
the sun spot differs from the radi-
ated by the suns surface or photo
sphere in general.
The light from a spot is about
one-tenth as strong as the rest of
the sun in yellow light. It is very
much weaker, however, in blue and
violet light.
The result Of this is that the light
from the sun spot has a more red
dish hue.

Scramble for Spoil

T IKE the tariff in this country,
IL the parade of troops in Mos
COW and the trade conference now
going on in Ottawa, Hitler stands
for a curious outbreak or national
ism. Almost every successful move
ment since the war, whether rad
ical or reactionary, stands for the
same thing.
1t forms a strange background
for all the peace talk. The world
may have gotten rid of a few kings,
but only to raise a prize crop of
dictators. It's pacific pow-wows and
pactseare stultifled by an epidemic
of tariff wars.
The scramble for spoilS has de-
veloped into a scramble for trade.
Much of the territory supposed to
have been saved for democracy has
gone Fascist or Bolshevik.

Coin You Can't Forget

THINGS are quite different in
Il the case of the more generous
and palpable tokens. If you have
silver dollar in your pocket, you
know perfectly well it isn't tele-
phone number. 1t just has to be a
dollar or a clam shell, and by max
ing a point of not carrying clam
shells, it is easy to avoid all con-
fusion.
I feel quite certain that the new
currency would do a great deal to
discourage boarding. You can't put
many silver dollars under mat
tress without tossing all night like
the princess in the fairy tale.
Once I had $88 in silver and I
didn't keep any of it. I was a
sucker for the shrewd psychology Of
the people who gave it to me.

Says

Whether Hitler Has the Abil-
ity to Do More IN Germany
Than to Organize q Grand
BdlIyhoo Remains to Be
Seen.
NEW YORK, Aug. lit looks
' as though Adolph Hitler soon
might become chancellor of Ger
many. The weather-wise are max
ing all kinds of predictions as to
what will happen if he does.
If any of them are right, they
can lay it to good luck. Hitler has
done little to prove that he is a
genius, or that Germany will turn
a sonlersault when he takes charge
He merely has shown shrewdnesS in
capitalizing normal emotions and
traditional prejudices.
Nationalism is his chief stock in
trade. Like Mussolini, he has taken
every conceivable advantage Of it,
waving the flag and yelling patri-
otto catch phrases. Whether he can
do more than organize a grand ball
lyhoo remains to be seen.

Hitler Is Riddle

GONE really masterful men have
~ risen out of the seethe and stew,
but for every one, there have been
dozen demagogs. 1t often takes
years to distinguish the latter from
the former.
There was Emperor" Cook in
England and Kerensky in Russia.
They had an excellent start, but
lacked depth. Trotski, who shared
honors with Lenin, is in exile.
Lloyd George, who was Britain's
foremost man when the war ended,
is without a party. Recent history
is full of haS-beens, and this man
Hitler soon may join them.
He is too new at the game for &ny
one to guess his ability, much less
his character. Up to this time, he
has played the rollicking role of
critic.
Organizing an opposition party is
not the same thing as running a
government. The men who can do
both are few and far between. Hit
Ter has done a good job as leader
OF tire German Fascist movement,
but that hardly proves his ability
to act as head of the German gov
eminent. The odds are at least four
to one that he will turn out
flop.
