Theory Lost Moon Once
RevolYed Around Earth

The earth once had two moons
one Of which was lost" but still in
directly has affected life on this
planet, according to an amazing
new astronomical theory advanced
by DR.. Ronald L. Ives, research
scientist Of the Franklin institute,
Philadelphia.
Not only has the lost" moon
played a most important part in the
past history Of the earth, but its in
direct effects continue to operate
now, DR.. Ives maintains.
DR.. Ives, physicist and geologist,
has constructed a whole new picture
Of the earth as it was several mill
lion years ago when a second moon
decisively controlled many phases
Of the earth's climatic conditions.
In q scientific presentation Of his
theory, through the official publca-
ton Of the Franklin institute, DR..
Ives has called the, lost moon
"ephemeron."
DR.. Ives Investigations Of the
earth'S geological conditions indi-
cate that ephemeron revolVed around
the earth until the Permian age-an
epoch in the earth's history Of about
$50 to 200 million years ago, when
giant lizards are believed to have
roamed the earth, and dense
swampy forests Hourished which be-
came the raw materials Of many
present-day coal deposit.
But ephemeron, which was small
er and lighter than the moon that
continues to shed its light on US, was
destroyed by an astronomical blitz-
krieg, under what is known to sci
ence as Roche's law.

'Barrage Tir'

During the great war of 1914-18,
the French used the phrase bar
rage tir." meaning ''barrage fire."
for rapid continuous artillery or
machine-gun fire concentrated on a
designated area. Very soon any
concentrated fire intended to retard
the enemy or to shield advancing
troops came to be called a barrage.
In Britain ''barrage" is generally
pronounced ''bar-aZh," with the
first syllable accented, while in
America 1t is generally pronounced
''ba-razh," with the accent on the
second syllable.
A small captive balloon used to
support wires or nets as a protection
against air attack is known as a
barrage balloon.

eral as much as we do.
THIS AND THAT:

IT'S said roller skating at the
Oxford rink the other mite really
drew out a nice crowd. You heard
about that certain st. Paul lass
who was trying so hard to attract
a certain Mpls. fellow. 1t seems as
if he didn't go in for the actual
roller skating but he loves to stand
on the sidelines and watch. Our
lassy's continual stumbling every
time she came to the particular
spot where he was standing even
became monotonous to our young
man in question. (Aint love ter
rifc?) The Fraternity All
Stars won over the Wheatley team
by slight margin-4S-40 last Sat-
urday. VIC GALLOWAY and
DWIGHT REED were two of the
outstanding stars of the fraternity
team. A nice crowd, as usual,
turned out for the game and the
dance afterwards. The Omega Psi
Phi Frat. will play the Wheatley
team on March z. =. The Alpha
Phi Alphas are planning their
usual Spring Prom, which will take
place sometime during April. g.
What Mpls. lass baked a cake the
other day and sent it to her love
light who is in one of the U. S.
army camps? The cake looked de-
licious; in fact, when our soldier
boy received it, he was over-run by
his pals who all begged for a taste.
You can imagine how ashamed our
lad was when everyone (including
himself) made the worst face as
they tasted the cake. You see, our
lass (due to the sugar shortage)
put three teaspoonsful Of sugar in
to the cake, trying out one of the
new wartime recipes. Our soldier
is having a hard time trying to
live down the cracks about what
a fine wife this lass will make.
Especially since he had made
plans to marry her on his next fur
lough.) We think she should be
admired for her patriotism and
economy. And speaking of sugar
shortage, it reminds US of a GER
tain landlady in st. Paul who is
requesting all boarders to give up
sugar, as a self-denial, during the
Lenten season. And what boarder
would dare to question her re-
igious scruples?
LATEST TAVERN GOSSIP:
Just heard an incident that hap
pened last Saturday mite. It seems
that four prominent business men
were busily engaged in a poker
game. One of these men was
cheating furiously and, mind you,
he has only one eye. Another of
the party saw this one-eyed scoun-
drel cheat, so drew a revolver and
placed it on the table, saying, "The
first man I catch cheating, I'll
shoot his other eye out" Nov,
which business man do you think
he was speaking OFF,
So that's all for this week, folks,
and I'll be SEEM you again next
week.

hCAOy GOAASs
Instead of parties holding the
limelight this week, boxing is the
topic of discussion round and about
these parts. No wonder there is so
much excitement, for this Thurs

HOLMAN WILLIAMS, one of the
country's lie ding middleweight
contenders, will appear on the box
ing card against CHARLEY BUR-
LEY, fourth in the lineup of lead
ing welterweights. After having
seen Williams in training, my
guess is that Burley will have a
tough fight on his hands that night
and it promises to be one of the
best headliners we Minneapoitans
have had this or any other season.

Kelson, Williams trainer, a few
questions, so here they are:

Ans: New York.
2. How long have you been

lis? Ans: Fine.

Ernest has been almost out Of

picture.
At a meeting yesterday OF
Gradwell Sears, George Bagnall
and other United Artists officials,
il was decided TO release the pic
lture within a month for that is
the way Carole. would have
