Today S Science
~ DAVID DIETZ-

THE earth and the moon, the sun and its planets,
4 the stars of the Milky Way and the distant
nebulae, all originated in great cloud Of gas that
once filled the universe.
It was a gas, however. far thinner than the re-
sidual gases which remain IN the most nearly perfect
vacuum which obtain earth. Molecules Of
this original gas so far apart DR.. Gusaf Strom
berg Of the Mt. Wilson Observatory says that one
might travel for hundreds Of years without colldng
with another mOlecue.
In ordinary air, it is estimated that molecule
collides with other molecules several billion times
second.
Dr. Stromberg, in bulletin prepared for the As
Economical Society Of the Pacific, shows how this
theory can be utilized for all the known
facts of astronomy, including the famous RED snlft
in the light Of the distant spiral nebulae.
1t differs from the recent theories OF the famous
Belgian mathematician Able lie Maitre, which as
sumo that space IS expanding and tnat the universe
started with the explosion Of super-atom In which
previously all the stuff Of the universe had been con-
centrated
THE red shift in the light Of the distant nebulae
i means that these nebulae are re6eding from the
earth The generally accepted explanation Is that
space is expanding and that the recession IS actually
an effect of the expansion OF space.
Dr. Stromberg however, prefers to accept the
theory Of Prof Milne according to which the move
ment of the distant nebuae IS real movement IN
an infinite space.
out must give a reasonable explanation Of the ex
isence and development OF the stars, the nattened
shape of the Milky Way. the preponderance OF mas
sve stars in the central plane Of the system, ana
the existence Of star clouds
All these facts are satisfactorily explained by in
voking known physical laws in the theory under DIS
cssion Dr. Stromberg says Such an original cosrnlc
cloud due 10 slight instability, would dlferentlate
into narts which finally became the Individual
galaxies-our own Milky Way and the other spiral
nebulae.

The question at issue is Jim

would make illegal the sending of
birth control literature through
the mails, even when directed to
physicians and hospitals. This is
a much more stringent regulation
than exists at present, and has
aroused the bitter-end resentment

This has two causes:
l. Roosevelt has undertaken

throwing together of emer-

programs necessarily has re-
suited in considerable con-
fusion.
.. The man who is the axis
of this program. its guiding
genius. the dynamo behind it,
time after time has added to
the confusion by reversing
himself or giving conflicting
ideas TO his Cabinet officers.
This second point was striking

taking part of the national domain
nov lying idle-and turning it
over iu grazing land under the
new Grazing Act.
Excellent idea" said the Presi-
dent. An executive decree to eX-
ecute it was ordered prepared.
A day later in came j. n. Ding
Darling. famous cartoonist, who
deserted his drawing easel to pro-
tect wild game under the New
Deal as chief of the Bureau Of
Biological Survey. Mr.. Darling
brought 10 the President an idea
directly opposite of Mr.. Icke's.
He argued that the use of the
national domain as grazing land
would destroy the feeding grounds
of his ducks. He had particularly
at heart the future of trulnpeter
swans. a species rapidly becoming
extinct in the United STATES. Oar
ling demanded that the national
domain be kept intact. not in
vaded by sheep and cattle.
Absolutely right" said the
President
Both Ickes and Darling left the
President with the IMPRESSION that
he was in complete agreement
with them. The result is that the
question Of ducks and grazing
land has been tangled up ever
since.

GAN DIEGO, Cal, Nav l4.-The
~ strides which mankind has
made industrially and CONNER
cislly will be graphically pre-
sented to visitors to the California
Pacific international Exposition,
opening here May %.
Just about 100 yaars ago the
small hide ships Of handy seamen
weathered the lashing storms
rounding the Horn to bring sup
plies to the pioneers on iris coast
and TO return laden with green
hides from the fertile valleys and
vast ranges.
Just about 100 years ago the
toiling oxen Of the early settlers
was the prime means Of travel on
land
Today the huge greyhounds Of
the sea are so common they rarely
are given second glance, and
steamiined automobiles, motor
coaches. trains and airplanes are
methods Of everyday transporta-
ton
The vivid story of this great
progress will be presented in the
Palace Of Travel and Transporta-
ton, one Of the newer structures
on the palisades in Balboa Park.
TWO Of the most elaborate in
u dustrial exhibit palaces in the
Exposition are those of the Ford
Motor and Standard Oil.
The major feature of the Ford
palace is its fluted white tower,

It is an immense circular build
ing, fronted by the tower and
erected on a promontory skirted
on three sides by deep canyons.
A beautiful view will be afforded
visitors from the rear of the build

The pictured story of the pro-
duction of the various kinds of
ore, wool. cotton, bauZite, rubber
and other raw materials Used in
the manufacture of the Ford car
will be grouped on the walls of
the circular entrance to the build

in the center is a great open-air
patio, 1876 feet wide, in which ,e
latest models of Ford and Lincoln
cars will be displayed.
The rear of the building will be
given over to a theater where films
will be shown, one of which will be
a completely detailed presentation
of motor trip to the West Coast.
The Standard Oil Palace will
also be featured by a tower, rising
126 feet. This tower is triangular

80, it was found that 85,104 cars
from other states and countries
came to San Diego last year. In
those cars were 229, 807 visitors.
The vast increase in tourists in an
exposition period can easily be
imagined.
Food and lodging for one person,
in a party of four, amounts to ap-
proximately 81 per day. exclusive
of such items as candy, tobacco,
refreshments and similar inciden-
tails.
The total cost per mile for the
operation of various automobiles
has been computed as follows:
-Four cylinder car ...... asa cents
Light six ...... 4.24 cents
Heavy SIX ............. 5O0 cents
Eight cylinder ......... 5.55 cents
BY checking the mileage from
any point to San Diego on route
maps and then using the above
figures, one can easily tell exactly
how much it will cost to drive to
Americas Exposition.
Since all drivers do not make
the same amount of miles per day,
the time ia days is not figured. An
average of two dollars per day per
person plus mileage costs should
give an accurate estimate of the
costs of such trip.
