impression of many sunbathers Is this due to
different amounts of vitamins in the food you
eat, or to change in quality in sunshine?
Perhaps it is due to something of both.
The ultraviolet light of the sun does vary
from year to year. Actual measurements of
it during the last ten years have revealed
changes of as much as 20 per cent in its
intensity. If the sun should maintain its
highest output of ultraviolet light for any
considerable period, there might we'll follow
some effect on plants and animals If it
should continue indefinitely at the low level
which it had in 1882, perhaps we should all
develop low vitality unless we resorted
to artificial sources for ultraviolet radiation.
Scientists have learned that the quality of
sunshine as we'll as its amount appears to have
an important bearing upon the growth and
functioning of plants and animals. Perhaps
the amount of vitamins created in tomatoes,
peas, spinach and other produce varies with
the change in quality of sunlight Who knows
but that the favor and appetite appeal may
vary likewise with the suns caprices?
Recent researches in medical science appear
to indicate connection between the func-
tioning of the ductless glands and exposure
to highly penetrating radiations. Germ cells
have been made to develop abnormally after
exposure to the radiation of an X-ray tube.
If such abnormalities in the development of
cells in certain glands result, is it then pos
sible that variations in the light of the sun,
governing the amount of vitamins in the
foods we eat, thus indirectly have some far
reaching effect on the glands which are re-
sponsible not only for the metabolism but for
our very temperaments as well?
If the ultraviolet radiation of the sun
Evening star., 1936-03-29

measured intensity of the ultraviolet light
from the sun varies rather closely with the
solar cycle. The solar cycle, in turn, is
marked by the appearance and disappearance
of sun-spots. When sun-spots have been most
numerous, ultraviolet radiation from the
sun has in general been stronger.
One can predict with reasonable accuracy
the occurrence of sun-spots. During 1928 and
1929 they were numerous. At the end of 1929
came the fall in the sun-spot market The
number of spots fell off very rapidly until
1882 - and so did ultra violet radiation.
Did this depression in ultraviolet radiation
have anything to do with our economic de-
pression1 Perhaps during the years when sun
spots are numerous and the ultraviolet
radiation is strong. our endocrine glands are
stimulated. Then the future looks rosy, and
we enlarge our businesses.
The sun then passes by the peak of its
activity and the sun-spots begin to disappear
Soon the ultraviolet light weakens, vitamins
in plants decrease, we grow deficient in vita

and the vicious downward spiral has begun.

periodically varies, then may we expect
periodical variations in the vitamin content
of the garden produce that comes to our
tables? Nobody knows. Here is something
for science to investigate. If our tempera-
ments react to the functioning of the ductess
glands and the performance of our glands
depends upon the proper balance of vtamins,
then maybe, after all, the way we feel depends
more upon the sun than we have thought
One interesting thing that has come from
the study of solar radiation is that the

optimistic and soon are off for another BOOM
Rather interesting speculation, isn't it,
How shall we ever know if there is any basis
for such hypothesis Science can answer
but not until lot of research has been done.
Meanwhile, one large food industry is
saving, out of each years crop, a sample of
at least one product. 1t is on call of science
for investigation. When some of these in
vestigations have been completed, we may
be one step further toward finding relation
between the sun and human affairs

raChitic properties was found not to respond
to ultraviolet treatment. But some other
plants are very sensitive to this light.
Experimentation is in process, and even
tually it may be possible to trace the results
of different vintages and the production of
vitamin D to the conditions of light under
which our foodstuffs are grown. There are,
of course, other vitamins contained in food
stuffs which have marked effect upon the
consumer. Persons deficient in vitamin A
have greater difficulty in seeing objects at
night Maybe this ability to see in darkness
varies with the season of the year. Perhaps
you do better in summer when you eat foods
richer in vitamins
Vitamin and Vitamin G appear to be
protectors against deficiency in the digestive
processes, loss of weight and general vigor.
missing in the food of sailors who contracted
scurvy Rachitic tendencies have been as
cribed to deficiency of vitamin D.
When, dressed in our abbreviated bathing
suits, we lie three-quarters naked on the beach
under the summer sun, we are building up
reserve of vitamin d. During the long winter
we miss the health giving ultraviolet rays.
If you lived on the moon you would not
be able to endure the strong ultraviolet
radiation that falls upon its surface. The
moon, you see, has no protecting atmosphere
to screen off part of the ultraviolet light
from the sun. Here, on the earth, the air
above us absorbs most of the ultraviolet
light. Just enough gets through to give us
the needed quota for health and happiness.

summers you seem to burn much more readily

n ! ing qualities of foods from year
" to year? Will the wheat crop or
the farm produce of 1896 be
better or worse than that of 1895 or 1884?
Of course. much will depend upon the con-
dition of the soil, rainfall and temperature
during the growing season. But has it ever
occurred to you that the quality of the foods
we eat may depend quite as much upon the
kind of sunshine it receives? A recent chart
of vintage wines shows the variations in
quality of five different varieties for the last
twenty years. 1t is interesting to note that
there has been a rise and fall of the vintage
curve twice during this interval.
Do variations in the quality of foodstufs
change similarly, with perhaps some physio-
logical effects on the consumer? Does the
vitamin content of crops vary from year to
year? Such questions are new and important
ones that may depend upon many factors
beyond the control of the farmer.
Some interesting experiments have been
made recently which have shown that the
behavior of growing plants depends very
much upon the wave lengths of the light
to which they may be subjected.
We all know that the production of
vitamin D. so necessary to the prevention of
rickets in animals. is closely related to ex-
posure to ultraviolet light. Ever since the
effect of ultraviolet light on animals has been
known, scientists have been endeavoring to

For Religious Health.

This evening at Constitution Hall the
second annual mass meeting arranged
by the Committee on Religious Life In
the Nations Capital will be held. Few
occasions Of It's kind are more likely to
stir public interest There is something
helpful in the spectacle Of such interde-
nominational efforts. Religious health
depends upon cooperation and tolerance
and good will. In the past too much
energy has been wasted in diversive
labor. What is wanted is unity and
fellowship. A community cannot make
spiritual progress without q mutual goal
and a mutual method of procedure.
Last years mass meeting proved that
it is possible for representatives of q
score of different schools of religious
thought to assemble on a single plat
form. Perhaps tonight's gathering will
lead to more frequent services of the
same helpful character. Indeed, it might
be feasible to enlist support for one all
inclusive program of praise and prayer
each week. If so, the profit to Wash
ington would be compelling. The Ma
tion's Capital, surely, is the ideal city
for convincing manifestation of the
peoples faith and its noblest fruits of
behavior.

subject or citizen of another country
were to have done as did this man Simp-
son in the United States, there would
be no question of his liability to arrest
and punishment. The fact that such
prosecutions are not common here, that
indeed they are SO rare as to be of q
sensational nature when they occur, does
not lessen the right of the Government
to act as has the German government
in this instance. Because propaganda
for the destruction of the American sys-
tenn, promoted both by American citi-
zens and by aliens resident here, is not
vigorously resisted and when proved
punished severely, in no wise justifies
an American in engaging in any manner
of subversive activity in another coun-
try. If this Government is more lenient
1t does not warrant an American citizen
in undertaking to promote, however
foolishly and ineffectively, subversive
movement in another land.
The wisdom of taking this young
sailors efforts seriously enough to sub
ject him to severe penalty is altogether
a matter for the German government
to consider. The safety of the state was
assuredly not in any degree menaced by
the display of few handbills and the
loosing of some toy balloons. Far more
grievous offenses against the Govern
ment of the United States are committed
constantly by both native and alien agi-
tators for change in the social order
and are ignored.

individual rainstorms. Similar records
of wind velocity and direction also have
brought important findings. They show
that velocities are extremely variable
from place to place within the area
studied. The variations take the form
of channels Of force which parallel the
wind direction. In some cases. in
parallel zones across the area, velocities
ranged from as high as Is miles an hour
to less than 10 miles an hour This find
ing may explain the puzzling fact that
certain fields lose their top soil from
wind erosion whereas adjoining fields
remain unharmed
An impressive array of delicate in
struments-rain gauge, thermometer
thermograph, psychrometer, hygrother-
mograph, anenometer, meteorograph and

keeping Uncle Sans forests from de-
struction by fire, according to Forest
Service executives. All are essential for
the constant close observation of fire
conditions.
Even with this watchfulness more than
100000 acres were burned over last

The Simpson Case.

There Is no occasion for excitement in
this country because of the conviction Of
an American seaman in Germany of
seditious activities and his sentence to
a term Of imprisonment. The man con-
fessed to having engaged in propaganda
for the overthrow of the established
German government. The fact that, as
the dispatches from Berlin state, his per-
formance was amateurish and ineffective
does not mitigate his offense. He seems
to have been prompted by a foolish de-
sire to make trouble, and whatever may
have been his inspiration it failed to
have any results, save in his own dis
romfiture.
The only ground of complaint on the
part of Simpson and his friends in
America is that he was held in confine-
ment for fifteen months without trial,
and not until the American consular
authorities took steps to have him for
mally given hearing was he brought to
court, where he frankly confessed his
actions. The sole injustice was that of
his long detention without chance to
face his accusers. Such long delays In
the course of judicial proceedings are
not unknown In America.
II the case were reversed and the
