What is Perjury

was not sound because 1t did not
charge specifically that Green took
a legal oath that contents of the
affidavit were true. The affidavit,
ne said, was notarized long after
Green signed it, and not In his
presence. Wolford countered that
Green knew he was signing an af-
fidayit. and contended the affida-
Wit itself, incorporated In the m
dictment. sets forth that Green
swore to its contents.
Smith declared the Federal Hous-
ing Act does not require an affida-
Wit under oath from building
contractor and that perjury can
not be committed except under an
oath required by law. Wolfcrd con-
tended the procedure in affidavits
is a regularly provided legal pro-
eedure.
Each attorney presented author
tiles to support his contention.
Wolford, however, remarked more
than once that the perjury laws
in California are an awful mess
No appellate or supreme court de-
cision can be found, he said, re-
lating directly to the particular
bit of law under WHICH Green was
indicted.
I'VE might as we'll find out now
he said, whether man Is guilty
OF perjury or not when he signs
an affidavit. 1t is ridiculous to
suppose, just because the oath is
administered after and not before
the affidavit is drawn up, that the
man who signs it is not guilty OF
perjury"
Smith took another view of the
matter:
Just because a notary Is care
less OF his duties, and does not re-
quire an oath from the person
signing an affidavit, we should not
penalize this man." he said.

No Explanation Offered for Planet Mystery

Astronomers of the late Nine

turtles spent some 40 years disprov-
ing the discovery of a new planet
between Mercury and the sun,
writes DR.. Heber D. Curtis, director
of the University of Michigan OBJ
servatories, in an article in the
Michigan Alumnus Quarterly Re-
view.
During the total eclipse of 1878,
says DR.. Curtis, two bright, star
like objects near the sun were OBJ
served by Michigan's Prof. James
Craig Watson, one of Americas
leading astronomers and, according
to former President James B. An
CELL, the most brilliant man ever
graduated from the University of
Michigan. The existence of a planet
inside the orbit of Mercury had long
been predicted by theoretical as
tronomers, he writes, although the
body had never been seen. Wat
sons observations, therefore, he
says, were heralded as the discov-
cry of a new member of our plan
etary family. Confirming Watson's
discovery, he adds, were the OBJ
servations of Prof. Lewis Swift, who
saw one of the bodies only a few
seconds later than Watson during
the same eclipse.
Not until the observations of the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-07-27

total eclipse of 1918 did scientists
give up Watson's discovery as
mistake, although no one had ever
been able again to observe either
of his two intramercurial bodies.
During each eclipse from 1878 until
that time, astronomers set UP and
ran intramercurial cameras in the
search for Vulcan, as the "theoret-
icaI' planet had been named.
''These famous observations of
Watson's," DR.. Curtis asserts, s'defy
any satisfactory explanation. Per-
haps as probable theory as any is
that he saw a moderately bright
comet with an almost stellar nu-
cleus" The relatively strong illumi-
nation of the sky background, he
explains, would have prevented the
detection of a tail, while the failure
of astronomers to find the comet
after it had left the immediate vicin-
ity of the sun is explained by the
fact that all comets enormously de-
crease in brilliance as they leave
the sun, and a small one observed
near the sun might never be seen
again because its light would di-
minish by hundreds of times within
short time. While this theory may
explain one of Watson's intramer-
curial objects, says DR.. Curtis, no
explanation has been offered for the
other.

varies greatly with the medium
upon which the yeast is grown, says
a report to the American Chemical

shows that the yield of the vitamin

He added that, contrary to popu.

they are handled very slowly and
carefully. In fall, when they are
cold and irritable, they will sting no

explained with stole calm that after

Two Wor|d'sFairs
Far Apart in Concept
And Realization
Quantity, Not QuoIity,
Is New York Theme; the
Other Is q Fantasy

The development of exposition
technique at the New York World S
Fair and the Golden Gate Interna-
tional Exposition inaugurates a new
era. the Architectural Forum maga-
zine declares today in its June Issue
devoted to building at the two fairs.
Using hundreds of photographs
especially taken to illustrate the
architectural contrasts and the in
novations in building techniques
which are displayed at both exposi-
tions, the magazine points out that
the Golden Gate Exposition "is 3,17O
rail miles from New York and the
two fairs are equally far apart in
concept and realization"
The World of Tomorrow spreads
low over more than thousand
acres, the Pageant of the Pacific
snuggles tight and high into less
than half the area" the Archi-
tectural Forum explains. IN the
East the bigger if not better) has
motivated every building, every ex-
hlblt. The West boasts half as
many buildings and but one COM
merclal exhibit big enough for a
roof of its own.
Above and beyond the question
OF size, however, is the question of
theme, from which naturally stems
the dlsslmllarlty of the two shows:
New York looking at tomorrow and
arriving mostly in the middle of
today, the Golden Gate with its
stucco fantasy of the Pacific. There
comparisons end and should.
Bigger and Bigger.
compared with earlier exposi-
tions, the problem of size has taken
on staggering dimensions. Once it
was possible to gather products from
nome and abroad, put them under a
root, and hold a fairly successful
falr. Today the radio, film and
press have made the fair-going pub
lie pretty familiar with almost any,
thing fair can show them, and
1t has become the practice to trv
to kill the bird with four barrels
instead OF one. Fairs and their
crowds have swelled to preposterous
sizes using this technique, and New
York is no exception.
If this is a criticism, it is one
that applies impartially to all our
expositions, and unless the financial
basis of the big fair should be
changed 1t will continue to apply
working within this framework, New
1orks fair directors determined to
avoid the other mistakes of the re-
cent past.
The result, taken as whole, is
extremely good, and for a curious
variety OF reasons. After the fair
Is over 1t is to become park. and
1t was consequently possible to do
great deal of permanent planting.
The nature of the ground restricted
building heights, producing an ef-
fect OF small scale and greater OPEN
ness than might otherwise have been
hoped for.
Another contributing factor was
the scheme for the lighting, based
not on the idea that night should
be turned into day, but that it has
Its own peculiar qualities to be en-
hanced. The soft quiet color that
pervades the fair in the evening is
perhaps its greatest single charm.
