THE surface of the moon is in all probability
i posed of pumice. This is the conclusion reached
by the moon committee of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington after four years of intensive study of
the earths satellite.
Pumce is we'll known here on earth 1t is very
porous froth-like volcanic glass Since observation
shows the surface of the moon to be covered with
thousands of craters resembling extinct volcanoes, the
conclusion of the committee seems entirely reason
able
1t is only under certain conditions that pumice
forms. 1t takes shape from liquid lava which coos
rapidly that there is no time for the rock to cry
stalize 1t is also necessary that the lava be under
pressure. AS result when it sodifies the vapors
dissolved in it are suddenly released and the whole
mass swells up into a froth which Immediately
hardens.
Obsidian which is a solid volcanic glass can be
changed to pumice by melting it in a crucible and
allowing it to cool quickly. If we construct picture
of the early conditions upon the moon, remembering
its small size, its consequent smaller gravitational
force. and its lack of atmosphere it is easy to
understand that the formation Of pumice would be
greatly enhanced.

Quite a ritual is involved in

HOnOr-A SenSitiUe Matter

IN the sport phase of journalism the decline of the
gate receipts and the production of barrsters
have made pugilsts, wresters and the underworld
characters engaged in the managerial line extremely
sensitive of their honor In former years when
money rfer they were content to regard as
PERSONS as publicity but, with the coming of the
panic learned barrisers began to frequent the back
rooms of saloons and search the expert opinions of
the newspaper critics for affrontS having a cash,
nuisance value
The result has been distinct abatement of the
fearleSsness of the press in calling mockery a
mockery and a deporable increase in larcenous
practice by and between the 1.-THE lean bodies and
their managers and the gamblers.
The profession of journalism naturally feels that
an unsound precedent set when the courts
first conceded that a prize fighter, wrestler or
manager could be libeled. 1t was an old theory
of the newspaper profession that once man en-
tered any of these lines he automatically accepted
yellow ticket and abandoned his good name if any,
1t has been hard to adjust critical opinion to the
menace of surplus attorneys who lurk in every
crack of every saloon frequented by the prizefght
profession, eager to redress wrong on a ffty-fifty
basis.

OF sterling character and very good to his mother
who sought to have his reputa ton reshngled with
cash money, but embarrassed his case and his

sterling character, cruelty magned by an UNI
scrupulous journalist, he had hired out a sugger

Strangely enough persons who would hesitate to

children find out early in life that their moth

"Huey Long is slipping-he's on
the way out" AS in his fight for

and came back strong.
He determined to get" the
mayor of New Orleans. So he re-
sorted to the theatrical tactics
which have made him famous.
LIE instituted an investigation
l. Il of New Orleans. He shut
out the newspapermen and
turned on the radio. Gamblers,
prostitutes, underworld characters
told of payments for police pro-
lection, an old story in many city
governments.
Long had tax assessments
opened for adjustment" operat-
ing under an act of his first spe-
cial session. This was invalidated
after the election-after it had
worked its charm. At the second
session, Huey passed a new law
under which this stratagem may
be used again
Then, just before the election,
he moved the National Guard
into the city.
The situation was tense. Ma
chine guns poked their noses at
the citizenry. 1t now may be
revealed that certain persons,
fe airing bloodshed, interceded
with the Administration in Wash
ington. Before it came to the
point of a decision there, truce
was effected. Huey withdrew the
troops to the outskirts of the city.
Huey's shrewdness and the fail
ure of the city machine to grasp
its opportunities were revealed
