A attempt to find out whether not there are
IA mountains Upon the planet Mercury is to be
made by the Mt. Wilson Observatory. This an
nouncement is made by the Carnegie Institute of
Washington which operates the observatory on the
California mOuntaln-top.
Mercury smallest of all the planets and closest
OF all to the sun, is in many ways planet of mys-
terry Because of its proximity to the sun, it is Wis
ible only at brief intervals. When at its fartheSt
from the sum- it may appear for a little while low
in the west after sunset or low In the east before
sunrise Many persons go through lie without ever
gIimpsing the planet.
Astronomers find the planet extremely hard to
study Because of the atmospheric dlthcultleS en-
countered in viewing an object near the horizon,
they are forced make most of their studies in the
DAYTIME It is possible with telescope. to Mer-
curry in the daytime when it is farthest from the sum-
The telescope reveals a few dark markings upon
the surface of the planet but 1t is Impossible TO
make out details
The Mt Wilson astronomers, encouraged by
study of the moon Just completed by Dr. Edison
Petit and other members of the observatory stan,
hope to attack the problem indirectly.
DR. PETTITS observations show that as the
- moon wakes and wanes the amount of light and
heat radiated from the part visible to the earth
increases and decreases.
However. the amount of light and heat radiated
by the moon at crescent phase is smaller than what
it would be if the moon were smooth sphere.
It is this fact which the Mt. Wilson astronomers
hope will give them clew to the nature of Mer-
cury's surface.
Mercury as it goes about the sun. appears from
the earth to go through phases Just as the moon
does What the Mt Wilson astronomers propose to
do therefore is to measure the light and heat
fected by Mercury at various phases. From this,
they NAV be able to tell whether it has a surface
comparable TO that Of the noon or not.
THE diameter of our moon is 216S miles. The
i diameter Of Mercury is 800 miles.
The moon exhibits wide variations in tempera-
ture. Portions of the moon receiving direct sunlight
attain temperatures equal to that of DO ing water.
2l2 degrees Fahrenheit Portions of thl coon in
darkness drop to temperatures of 200 deg below
zero.
The temperature range Mercury even
higher. The planes keeps one face turned avs
toward the sun. Its temperature is shown BY he
thermocouple TO be about $50 degrees Fahrenhe4 a
temperature sufficient TO melt lead while the o. 1er
side of the planet has the temperature Of empty
space, 459 degrees below zero.

LONG AGAIN LOSES
ANSELL SK|RM|SH
D. C. Supreme Court Denies
Additional Details on
Libel Suit.

Senator Huey Long of Louisiana lost
the third round of his legal skirmish
with Gen. Samuel T. Anseu today,
when District Supreme Court Justice
Daniel w. O'Donoghue dismissed his
request for a more detailed statement
of the S50O,OOO libel suit pending
against him.
In opposing the Senator's motion,
counsel for Gen. Ansell said:
After two abortive attempts to
evade the jurisdiction of this court
the defendant for the third time
comes into court and, appearing Spe-
cially for the purpose files a motion
that presumes to go to the merits OF
the matters to be tried. He thus sub
mits himself to the jurisdiction OF
the court. The motion, to say the
least of it, is utterly groundleSS."
Justice ODonoghue dismissed the
motion without comment.
The libel suit was filed by Gen
Ansell after copies of speech made
In the Senate by Senator Long had
been sent to numerous persons in
Washington and Louisiana. He as
serted statements in the speech were
untrue and had resulted in damage
to him.
Long had asked the court to require
the plaintiff to state whether he
claimed the alleged libel was cor
rect copy of the speech. and. II not
in what particulars it was incorrect:
whether he claimed the alleged libel
was sent through the mails under an
official frank. and whether the head
ings written by Senator Long correct
ly represented the text Of the speech
Senator Long first claimed he could
not be served with process in civil
suit while attending session of Con-
gress on the theory he was protected
by statute from such service.
The U. S. Supreme Court ruled
against him on this point, and he then
advanced the theory he was afforded
the same protection by the common
law. This contention was also re.
jected in court.

ROME. January 8.-With an agree
ment signed by Premier Mussolini in
his portmanteau, Pierre Laval, French
foreign minister, started back for
France today.
Both Mussolini and Laval smiled
broadly as they stood in the railroad
station. Their smiles we're repre-
sentative of the Joy that reigns in
Rome over the signing yesterday of
the Franco-Italian accord.
The two foreign ministers-for II
Duce is not only premier of Italy but
foreign minister as well-talked cor
daily for five minutes before the
train departed. II Duce gave Mile.
Josee Laval bouquet of pink orchids.
Shakes Hands With Duce.
Laval shook hands with Mussolini
and Fulvio Suvich, undersecretary Of
foreign affairs.
AS the train pulled out of the sta
tion the French statesman stood on
its steps, waving his hat while MusSo-
lini waved back.
Before Laval left his hotel this
morning he received the ministers Of
the Little Entente-Yugoslavia Czech
oslavia and Rumania-and of Austria
and gave them the latest information
on the interference pact he and
MuSsolini devised and which now will
be submitted to their governments for
approval All these ministers went
to the station to see him off.
Agreements Summarized.
The agreements the two statesmen
reached during their conversations
here may now be summed up as fol-
lows:
l. A pact of consultation-by this
accord France and Italy are to con-
suit each other whenever any ques-
ton in European interest arises.
Although both Laval and Mussolini
specifically stated in speeches yester-
day. that their pacts were not di-
rected against any one, this consulta-
tive pact particularly affects Ger
many. It is in this pact that the
independence of Austria is mentioned,
France and Italy agreeing to consult
each other regarding what action they
are to take whenever Austrian inde-
pendence may be menaced.
2. A pact of non-intervention-this
is to be signed by Austria and her
neighbor states. If Germany signs.
