Interestingly enough, it is found
that Sufferers who engage in ath-
letics find in physical motion of
this character, in many instances,
an outlet whereas others find them
selves inhibited in their physical
activities as we'll as in their speech.
The Iowa investigators report
that suffering did not seem to in
terfere particularly with literary
work. Nevertheless, only some Is
per cent of Sufferers engaged in
such activities.
Less than 10 per cent, however,
wished to take up music; and
around per cent to write, to take
part in debating, dramatic acting,
and oratory.
Obviously, the latter performance
is not one that should appeal par
ticularly to a sufferer. Neverthe-
less, one sufferer finally reached
the point where he was able to play
the lead in a play, an accomplish
ment to which he always looked
back as triumph in his career.
The evidence indicates that pub
lie speaking is not necessarily good
treatment for suffering.
1t does not seem to reduce the
severity of the attacks, nor to help
the sufferer in any way.
Next-social handicaps of the
sufferer.

SCIENCE
Astronomers Find That Sun
Spots Occur IN CNcles.
by DAVID DIETZ.

THE fact that sun spots occur in
i cycles has engaged the atten-
ton of astronomers for almost a
century.
Within the last few years. the
work of DR.. Harlan Stetson of
Perkins observatory. Ohio Wesleyan
university. has proved definitely that
radio reception improves and de-
clines with the sun spot cycles.
Many authorities suspect that
there may be longtime changes in
our weather. which can be traced to
the sun spot cycle, but this has not
been established.
S. H. Schwabe of DeSsau was the
first to discover that sun spots oc-
CURED in cycles He announced his
discovery in 1898, after twenty years
of study. During that time he had
made an almost daily watch of the
sun spots.
Systematic study of sun spots was
begun by Prof. Max Wolf of Zurich
in 1880. He collected all observa-
tions Of sun spots available up to
that time and summarized them.
He devised a system of counting
sun spots which took into account.
both the groups of spots and the
number of spots in the group. This
method is still in use.
The result of the daily count is
known as the Wolf number" for
that day.

Law of LatitudeS

a MOTHER interesting fact about
L y sun spot cycles is known as
Spoerer's law of sun spot ATTITUDES
in honor of the astronomer who
first pointed it out.
Spoerer showed that when a sun
spot cycle is starting, that is when
a minimum just has been passed,
the new cycle is heralded by the
appearance of a few small spots at
considerable distance from the suns
equator.
These spots occur in ATTITUDES Is
or 80 degrees north and south.
AS the cycle continues, more spots
appear In addition, many of the
new spots occur in lower ATTITUDES.
that is closer to the equator. In this
way, the two belts in which the sun
spots occur widen out.
Then as the maximum is passed.
and spots become fewer in number.
they cease to appear in the higher
ATTITUDES.
Consequently the sun spot belts
begin to shrink in size. But the
spots now are all in low ATTITUDES.
AS the cycle comes to a close, only
few spots are left, but these are a
few degrees north and south of the
equator.
The new cycle now begins again
at high ATTITUDES.
AS rule, evidences of new cycle
are in sight before the last traces of
the old one have died out com
pletely.
The result is that at a sun spot
minimum there usually are a few
spots scattered in four widely sepa-.
rated zones.
A few spots belong to the old
cycle a few degrees north and south
Oh the equator, and a few spots be-
long to the new cycle at distances
Of about 80 degrees north and south

EIeven-Year Cycle

THE sun spot cycle is approx
l. mately eleven years long. That
is, it usually is that many years
from time of maximum sun spots
up to period of minimum and
back again to a period of maximum.
However. the time from one maxi
mum to the next may be a longer
or shorter period.
Russell states, 1.-The average in
terval between maximum is lib
years, according to Newcomb; but
this is subject to great fluctuations,
the observed intervals ranging all
the way from 7.3 to Ill years.
THE rise to maximum is usually,
but not always, more rapid than
the fall which follows, the mean
duration of the two, according to
Newcomb, being 4.62 to 6.51 years"
wv. j. s. Lockyer has pointed out
that the rise is more rapid both in
actual duration and as compared
with the fall, when the maxima are
highest.
1.-THE whole length of the interval
between minima, however, seems to
bear little relation to the intensity
of the maximum
During the period of sun spot
maximum, the sun is covered with
spots daily. On some days as many
as 100 spots are visible
During the period of sun spot
minimum, spots are very scarce
Sometimes an entire month will
pass without spot being observed.
There also is considerable vari-
alton in the intensity of sun spot
maxima. Three or four cycles will
exhibit naxima of high intensity.
These will be followed by several of
low intensity.

The Language of Labor
THE language of labor is a
l. tongue in which orthodoxy is
even more difficult than Mr.. Cole
man has intimated. My morning
copy of the Daily Worker lies beside
me, and I find the editor, replying
to a steamfitter who thinks that the
paper should print some proletarian
literature in the interest of greater
liveliness.
The Commissar replies mournfully
that only Germany and Russia are
producing proletarian fiction on a
large scale. There is none to be
found in America.
This seems to me rather a dirty
dig at Comrade Dresser, considering
all that he has done and, more par
ticularly, said for Communism. And,
indeed, the Daily Worker is far too
modest. I have seen many excel
lent items of proletarian fiction day
after day in its news columns.
I follow with special interest the
crimes committed by one specific
character, who seems to rank along
with Bill Skies and Simon Legree as
one Of the most complete villains in
modern literature. And the author
has hit upon an excellent name for
his creation. The fellow is called
Haywood Broun. -

HooUer's Speech Shows That
He Is the Same Phlegmatic,
Slol0 Moving StGndpdtter
That He AllOdys Was.
NEW YORK, Aug 13.-President
IN Hoover's acceptance speech
was illogically self-satisf1ed and dis
appointingly unoriginal He ap-
pears to have learned something
about war debts from his 1923 OPP
ponent. former Governor Al Smith.
and something about prohibition
from the Democratic platform.
Whether. he has learned anything
from the depression is not so clear.
He still believes in prosperity and,
having failed to preserve it, thinks
the American people should give
him chance to restore it.
He still sympathizes with the drys,
but recognizes the necessity Of being
wet.
Virtually all the interesting sug-
geStlons President Hoover made can
be traced to borrowed ideas or
changed opinions, and the changed
opinions come too late to be regard
ed otherwise than the products of
submission to pressure.
One can not read what the Presi-
dent says about changing the eight
zenith amendment, or solving the
debt problem, without suspecting
that he voices a synthetic viewpoint,
rather than his own.
AS some ardent Republican editors
have observed, his speech bore lit
tie resemblance to that of Cover
nor Roosevelt. Obviously, it was
not made on the spur of the mo-
ment, contained few rough spots,
and had every earmark of being
prepared carefully.
Indeed, it's studied character was
so apparent as to leave the i'm
