a PAGE EIGHT MARS “ONLY” 49,300,000 MILES AWAY Was Nearer Earth Saturday Than It Has Been Since Year 1909 “OPPOSITION TO MARS” St. Louis, June 12,—Saturday was the best time to communicate with Mars as the planet was nearer earth than it has been since 1909, being 42,300,000 miles away, according to the Rev. Father Martin S. Brennan, local astronomer, who observed what he termed the “opposition to Mars.” The “opposition to Mars,” Father Brennan said, caused wide-spread at- traction in this section of the coun- try on recent nights, when many persons inquiried about “a bright red star in the East.” Father Brennan explained that Mars was so near to earth that it outshone the _ planet Jupiter, this causing Mars to be seen so: vividly. : “All the scientific world is taking the greatest interest in this opposi- tion to Mars,” he continued. “It re- vives the idea of signalizing to that planet. “Now is the favorable time to get some message to the fabulous Marti- ans. All kinds of instruments are be- ing equipped in an effort to see the canals of Mars and the polar snows and caps. Some of those who are very enthusiastic are going down a shaft of a mine, using the shaft as a long telescope tube. “But we are powerless with equip- ment we have now to bring Mars close enough for us really to see much. Think of the moon, only 250,000 miles away, and Mars over 42,000,000. Even on the moon we could not see the big- gest animals in the world, much as we might try. If there were dinosaurs walking around up there, 120 feet long, like those old fellows we hear about, we couldn’t see them on the meon, “There is a limit to our vision, be- cause of the waviness of the air, which is heated by convection. We do not see this with the naked eye, but with a thousand diameters magnify- ing power it looks like running water. Another hindrance is the expansion and contraction of the glass by heat or cold. If something could be in- vented instead of glass, that would have the properties of glass, and yet be able to withstand heat and cold. we might bring the heavens closer to us, The astronomer added that Mars in 1924 will come to the nearest point Bossible to the earth, when it will re- cede. BISMARGK BOYS BREAKING CAMP Regatta Is One of Features at Lake Isabel . —_—.. Bismarck Boys Camp, Lake Isabel, June 12—The big boys’ camp was breaking up today after a fine time. One of the big features of the camp was the regatta. The course was parallel with the shore and in- cluded one turn. A strong bre2zc blew directly across the course and made it very choppy, The course was shallow enough to be waded so an upset, {f humiliating to thp drew, was great fun for the spectators, The popular event was the four-oar race in which four boys and a skipper constituted a crew. In this event Art Bender's crew composed of Art Bender, Al Benson, fritz Wanner and Bill Byrne and Skip Arnold Von Hagen leq the Cordon crew by a full length with Slattery's crew third. In the two oar events Ralph Par- sons and Bill Lenhart were easy win- ners, getting a good lead at the turn they held it to the finish, Art Ben- der and Bob Nuesslé were second and Arnold Von Hagen and Bil Byrne third. A great deal of sport was found in trying to negotiate the course in a canoe. Slattery’s four-oar crew challengod Art Bender and Ralph Parsons in the canoe. It was a good race for half the course, with skiff and canoe bow to: bow. The canoe men began to spurt and this proved caeir undoing, and over they went, ‘, Art Bender's team won the baseball “watermelon” in the final game with the Scouts Saturday evening. A very interesting discovery during camp races, WHEAT LOAF I$ PROBED BY GOVERNMENT Half of Dollar Paid For Bread Goes to Distri- bution Washington, June 12.—A loaf of bread and joint commission on agri- cultural inquiry, said in a report pub- lished today, offers a striking exam- ple of what happened to the farmer’s product in the way of costs and pro- fits before it reaches the family ta- ble. About fifty cents out of each dollar he pays for bread, the report said, is absorbed in cost of distribution. The farmer gets only 29.6 cents in the local market for the wheat needed ‘to produce it. A survey showed that the average cost of getting the wheat ready for the baking stage-was 8.4 cents, while the ¢verage cost of manu- facturing it into bread was 10.16 sents of the dollar paid by the bread buyer. : ‘ “A considerable factor inthe bak- er’s cost of distribution. which aver- ages 15.76 cents on the consumers dollar is: the service element,” said the report. 4% “Our inquiry does not indicate that the manufacturing .baker ‘has exacted an undue profit in taking the.5.3 cents from the consumer’s dollar ‘for manu- Yacturing bread and distribtuing it to the retailer.” - fF 3 EXPANSION PLAN IS ADOPTED LaCrosse Wis., June 12.—In its clos ing business session the Lutheran League of the Norwegian Lutheran church of America adopted resolu tions providing for the employment of v full time secretary in each ‘district of the league; planning for the organ. ization of Canada leagues and provid. ‘ng that the office of legislative sec- retary be retained. A sacred concert by the Christ church’ choir of St. Paul featured the closing session. Profes. sor J, A. Aasgaard of Moorhead, Minn., delivered the address, The convention also went on record as favoring the enforcement of the ‘8th amendment and opposing the re- turn of beer and light wines, HOLD ALLEGED LAW VIOLATORS Fargo, N.
