FIND LIGHT MAY VARY IN CYCLES.

| a* . +ar g
 Much of our modern physics is based upon the assumption Of the constant velocity of light, and this is held to be the maximum velocity which be attained in the universe It is a factor ln the formulae for calculating mass in terms of energy and vice Elaborate efforts have been made to determine the value of the velocity of light with great exactness. The late Dr. A. A. Nicholson de- voted his life to this work constantly repeating his experiments and getting the same results twice The velocity originally determined was close to 3O000O kometers d86,40o mles) second. Subsequent determination by Nicholson and others 1875 have resulted in lower values but
 the decrease has not been regular. The most recent determination completed by associates shortly after his death gave a velocity of about 299 75o kilo- meters a second and indicated the probability that the velocity was not constant but might vary per haps periodically with a short period
 pr. M J. G. de Bray, of London, who has been ported in all tests, points out, in a letter to Nature" that it is quite improbable that the varia- tons are irregular, and that if it is assumed that the variations are due to periodic change the velocities reported by all experimenters lit very nicely on to a sine with period of forty years This would make the normal velocity 299,885 kilometers a second With the results so plotted the curve indicates that the minimum velocity was at tained in 1931 and previously in 1891. The most recent maximum in 1911.

That Tumble-DOwn Shack.
cDaily Journal of Commerce. seattleo

The President has signed the national housing bill and James A. Moffatt long prominent as Standard Oil Company official has been named to map and carry out the Federal Governments lbilion dollar home construction and modernization program.
 The housing act is of the most sensible measures of the Administration. It is intended as a stimulus for home building work on a greater scale than any since 1926
 Some time ago sentimental song writers achieved considerable success with their Getting Back to That Tumble Down Shack and "Shanties in Old Shantytown" though it is difficult for most of us to sense the attraction of shacks and shantes But there apparently a great deal more reality Tn these songs than in most popular songs Of the day A report of the American Health Association re- veals that onefourth of Americas rural homes have plumbing; less than onefourth have running water. and less than half electricity In addition, pr Haven Emerson of that association cites that great percentage of urban homes are firetraps decidedly wasteful of heat because they are not
 insulated and excessively hot in midsummer for the same reason He adds that thousands of homes in the South lack screens to keep out the malarlal mosquito, and proper sanitation is unknown
 There are millions of splendid homes in our country, but there are several times many that are unfit for human habitation. Thousands of homes
 in every State that satisfactory few years ago rapidly deterioratng. They are badly in need of new roofs, painting, plumbing, and other Improvements. Most home owners desire to keep their properties in repair but have been unable to obtain the loans necessary to finance such work. The housing bill is designed to meet the demand for long-term, low-interest loans. The program is to obtain strong support Certainly there can be no better for Federal funds than in loans for rebuilding and improving American homes. If the housing program is intelligently carried through a future generation of song writers will not chant about tumble-d down shacks and cabins in the cotton but will write tender lyrics about That Freproof Insulated, Tile -Bathroomed, Electrically Equipped Home of Mine"
 At least such homes would be more worth singing about than tumble-down shacks and unsan- ltary shanties.

DOWN TO THE SEA.

New York City in recent months has had a great influx of boys mostly just out of high school who have been lured there by reports that careers await them at sea. Shipping has increased some what but the enlarged demands for seamen are as yet not enough to absorb the thousands of experienced sailor who have sought work in vain for several years Preference goes to the ex- perienced hands, naturally, and the eager youngsters usually wind up at the Seamen's Church Institute, with no money. It has taxed the resources of this institution to take care of them send them back to their homes.
 One sympathize with the zeal of these boys, for the still holds fascination for most of us The substitute of steam for sail and the decline of adventure the have not taken away all of the romance from the seamans calling. There is natural urge in any lad in his latter teens than to ship for foreign port as cabin-boy. or engine-room helper. But finding ais another story, and just now it is we-nigh hopeless with a supply of experienced from which the shipping companies draw their recruits
 As in many another realm romance and the hard facts of business conflict in the shipping offices of our ports. It is sad duty that falls on the Seamen's Church Institute, to tell these eager youngsters ambitious to be mariners that the door to the sea is closed to them until the ocean commerce of the world expands far than it has to date.

A PROMISE KEPT.

August Is will be an important date in the history of our Latin American relations because it is to mark the departure of the last American marine from Haiti according to announcement of the Secretary of the Navy. Agreement between the two governments already has provided for the withdrawal of various civilian agencies by which the United States has dominated Haitian affairs for nearly two decades The final withdrawal of the last armed forces this month will be the proof Of a promise kept-a promise to play the role of the good neghbor and to practice rigid non-interven- tion in other countries to the south.
 Haiti is the last of the Latin States to be freed entirely from American intervention, although a few marines are kept in Honduras as Legation guard and similar police patrols maintained in few other capitals of the world. This means that after August 5 every nation in this hemisphere will be enjoying the complete sovereignty to which it is entitled. From then on, disorder of de- pression in Latin American State will have to be accounted for by some other means than by the charge of American meddling.
 This non-ntervention policy must be far more however than a mere decision not to send troops into Caribbean States It must mean the refusal of the State Department to countenance unwise believe the marines are their bill collectors. Our non-i intervention policy must supply a redefintlon of our policy respecting the promotion of trade and protection of citizens abroad, as to avoid the situations that made intervention Un- less good neighbor policy is thus rounded out we will find promise not to land troops on foreign soil is merely an embarrassment to ourselves and to the governments of unstable foreign countries.

Onward-With the League.
(New York Times.)

One year ago President Roosevelt proclaimed the Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating Distribution of Narcotic Drugs. This was possible the result of it's ratification by sufficient number of States. The creditable part
 that Turkey has had in making the treaty effective was emphasized in celebration of the anniversary lof this important international action. Turkey had been a chief exporter of opium and had to
 make the greatest effort to suppress illicit traffic. The League in receiving the report of its Opium Advisory Committee gave special praise to Turkey
 for driving out the traffickers. Under it's laws the manufacture of narcotics is Government monopoly.
 Representatives of the United States, cooperating with the League of Nations committee, had ead- ling part in determining and formulating the policy Eventually adopted. This country the first to Iratfy the convention Its central purpose is to strict the manufacture of narcotics to the medical and scientific requirements of each country. To
 this end the central board will receive and upon
 the estimates of producing countries and keep track lof shipments to others. The plan seems to be in successful operation, but Secretary Hull has
 United States will be required to implement the treaty
 As noted at the time that it's provisions be- came internationally binding the treaty involved a far greater yielding of national sovereignty on the part of the Signatory Powers than any other treaty in that it permitted international board Ito pass. upon domestic need and limit the right of manufacture. This is action in international cooperation on the part of the United States Government that may lead the way to a closer
 working with the League in other common interests
 International control of the manufacture and trade
 in arms is suggested the closest analogy.

RAINBOW TINTS IN SKY ARE NOT
 ALWAYS GENUINE.

Rainbow -coored streaks in the sky are not always rainbows. Opalescent patches of various sizes and shapes, tinted with all the rainbow's hues but bear ing physical relation to the true rainbow, are occasionally seen, usually late in the fall high up in the sky the sun, according to Dr. W. j.. Humphreys of the United States Weather Bureau.
 This celestial phenomenon, Dr Humphreys explains, is caused by interference from minute drops of water in the clouds to light travel ing earthward from the sun. These dropets act on the light in such way to the crests of some parts of a wave of light to get ahead of the crests of others When the crest and the trough of wave reach certain point at the time the light is dimmed When two crests come along together the light is intensified This diffraction of light waves Dr. Humphreys says, gives the sky bright patches of color, especially red and green. that are sometimes mistaken for rainbows
 The iridescent cloud effect produced when light is forced to pass through the tiny raindrops is the same as that of the colored corona often near the sun or moon but of much larger radius and purer and brighter in color, owing to the extra ordinarily minute size of the drops and the thin ness of the silky gauzy clouds. Anyone is lucky r,r Humphreys observes to see this gorgeous spec +acle once in lifetime, though watchfu observer may see one or more such displays almost every year,

 Austria Hungary had formally declared war against Servia, and official notification of the fact was conveyed to Servia.

HOLLYWOOD, December 8-Doug-

Together for IS years, they conSti-

Mary and Doug are both living in

for so many years the symbol of the
strength and solidity of their mar
riage; he in the home of his niece,
Mary Margaret Fairbanks.
Presumably, they communicate fire.

Yet, while there is no further ac-
ton toward divorce. neither have
a reconciliation.
The situation between them is ex-
actly as it was year ago, or. for that
matter, 20 months ago, when they
first separated.
Many years ago. when Mary Pick
ford divorced Owen Moore, and when
Fairbanks was divorced from Beth
Sully, there was no hesitation or de-
lay in either suit. Each was filed,
tried and granted quietly, decisively-
and quickly.
Hollywood can only speculate on
the reason for Mary Pickford's delay
in acting on her suit against Fair
banks. Perhaps her own words.

Police had one theory to account
for the sad lack of thievery today,
and the merchants had another.
Authorities who remembered when
the fair was held only at night under

attributed the apparent timidity Of
thieving customers to the daylight

LES SABLES D'OLONNE, France,
December 8-The annual Thieves
Fair was a rather desultory affair this
year because apparently everybody
came except the pickpockets and
shoplifters.
In the crowd of 1000 that milled
around among the assorted wares of
French merchants, dressed for the oc-
casion in centuries-old peasant FASH
ions, police didn't arrest a single dis
honest person. It was very disap-
pointing.
Tradition dictates that the eleventh
commandment shall be substituted
for the eighth for 24-hour period at
the world-famous Thieves Fair in
this little sardine fishing port-''Thou
shalt not be found out"
The penalty for getting caught
stealing is that the offender must
purchase the goods.
In olden days, when stealing was
done In grim earnest, and nimble wits
were sharpened by necessity, it was
a strange contest of dexterity between
the merchants and the would-be

Use of 1854 10000 to do away with

President Roosevelt was going over
his plans for the Winter with some
of his close advisors.
Secretary Ickes, who had put grade
crossing elimination on the list of
public works he proposed for the
Winter was one of those who talked
with the President during the day.
Bernard NJ Baruch, the New York
flnancier, was another. Neither
would discuss their conference.
Many Plans Presented.
To what extent the grade e-croSsing
proposals would fit into the broad
national program the President is
working out for the Winter has not
been disclosed. Numerous plans have
been presented from various sources,
and out of the offerings presidential
advisors said they expected to see
emerge rounded plan of emergency
works to coordinate development and
conservation of natural resources.
The proposal put forward by the
Security Owners Association for
grade crossing elimination listed H.
951 projects which the organization
said could be set under way in 80
days to give work to $50 900 men.
Under the proposed ALLEGATION,

Eastern district, 19O,883, ATS in the
Southern district and ST. ,350,6o7 in
the Western district.
IS Per Cent to Wages.
Milton w. Harrison, president OF
the association, said in outlining the
proposal that IS per cent of the ex-
penditures would go into wages.
Not only does such program, by
the speed with which it can be placed
in execution, thus meet the present
Winters emergency, recognized as the
most critical of the whole depression
but in the quantities of steel, cement
timber and other supplies required, 1t
