Much of our modern physics is based upon the assumption c¢f thé constant velocity of light, and this is held to be the maximum velocity which can be attained in the universe. It is a factor in the formulae for calculating mass in terms of energy and vice versa. Elaborate efforts have been made determine the value of the velocity of light with great exactness. The late Dr. A. A. Michelson de- voted his life to this work, constantly repeating his experiments and never getting the same results twice. The velocity originally determined was close to 300,000 kilomet (186,400 miles) a second. Subsequent determination by Michelson and others since 1875 have resulted in lower values, but has not been regular. The most recent determination completed by associates shortly after his death gave a velocity of about 299,750 kilo- meters a second and indicated the probability that the velocity was not constant but might vary per- haps periodically with a short period. Dr. M. . J. G. de Bray, of London, who has been making a study of the variations in - velocity re- ported in all tes points. out, in a letter to “Nature” that it is quite improbable that the varia- tions are irregular, and that if it is assumed that the variations are due to a periodic change the velocities reported by all experimenters fit very on to a sine curve with a period of forty This would make the normal velocity 299,885 | kilometers a second. With the results so plotted the A PROMISE KEPT. important date in the | history of our Latin Americah relations, because it is to mark the departure of the last American marine from Haiti, according to an announcement | of the Secretary of the Navy. Agreement between the two governments already has provided for the withdrawal of various civilian agencies by which the United States has dominated Haitian affairs for nearly two decades. The final withdrawal of the last armed forces this month will be the proof of | a promise kept—a promise to play the role of the good neighbor and to practice rigid non-interven- tion in other countries to the south. Haiti is the last of the Latin States to be freed | entirely from American intervention, although a| few marines are kept in Honduras as a 'Legation guard and similar “police patrols” are maintained in a few other capitals of the world. This means that after August 15, every natlon in this hemisphere | will be enjoying the complete sovereignty to which it is entitled. From then on, disorder of de- pression in a Latin American State will have to be accounted for by some other means than by the charge of American meddling. This non-intervention policy must however, than a mere decision not to send troops into Caribbean States. It must mean the refusal of the State Department to countenance unwise loans to certain countries by American bankers who believe the marines are their bill collectors. Our| non-intervention policy must supply redefinition | of our policy respecting the promotion of trade and protection of our citizens abroad, so as to av the situations that made intervention nccessary. Un- i less our good neighbor policy is thus rounded out we | will find ‘& promise hot to land troops on foreign | so0il is merely an embarrassment to ourselves and to the governments of unstable foreign countries. August 15 will be an be far more, a DOWN TO THE SEA. New York City, in recent months, has had a great influx of boys, mostly just out of high school, who have been lured there by reports that careers await them at sea. Shipping has increased some- what, but the enlarged demands for seamen are as yet not enough to absorb the thousands of experienced sailor men who have sought work in vain for several years. Preference goes to the ex- perienced hands, naturally, and the eager youngsters usually wind up at the Seamen’s Church Institute, with no money. It has taxed the resources of this institution to take care of them or send them back to their homes. One can sympathize with the zeal of these boys, for the sea still holds a fascination for most of us. The substitute of steam for sail and the decline of adventure on the oceans have not taken away all of the romance from the seaman's calling. There is no more natural urge in any lad in his latter ‘teens than to ship for a foreign port as cabinsboy, or engine-room helper. But finding a job'is another story, and just now it is well-nigh hopeless with a supply of experienced seamen from which the shipping companies draw their recruits. As in many anotber realm romance and the hard facts of business conflict in the shipping offices of our ports. It is a sad duty that falls on the Seamen’s Church Institute, to tell these eager youngsters ambitious to be mariners that the | door to the sea is closed to them until the ocean commerce of the world expands far more than it has to date. RAINBOW TINTS IN SKY ARE NOT ALWAYS GENUINE. Rainbow-colored streaks in the sky are not always | rainbows. Opalescent patches of various sizes and | shapes, tinted with all the rainbow's hues but bear- ing no physical relation to the true rainbow, are occasionaly seen, usually late in the fall, high up in the sky near the sun, according to Dr. W. J Humphreys of the United States Weather Bureau. This rare celestial phenomenon, Dr. Humphreys explains, is caused by interference from minute | drops of water in the clouds to light waves travel- ing earthward from the sun. These droplets act on| the light in such a way as to cause the crests of some parts of a wave of light to get ahead of the crests of others. ‘When thie crest and the trough of | a wave reach a certain point at the same time| the light is dimmed. When two crests come ;IlunuY together the light is intensified. This diffraction of | light waves, Dr. Humphreys says, gives the sky bright patches of color, espes red and green that are sometimes mistaken for rainbows. The iridescent cloud effect produced when light curve indicates that the minimum velocity was at- tained in 1931, and previously in 1891, The most recent maximum was in 1911 Strikes may, as it is said, be a sign of returning prosperity. But it should also be noted, the more | numerous such signs are the longer will be the day until the return. That Tumble-Down Shack. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattlc.) The President has signed the national housing bill, and James A. Moffatt, long prominent as a Standard Oil Company official, has been named to map and carry out the Federal Government's bilion dollar home construction and modernization program. The housing act is one of the most sensible measures of the Administration. It is intended as a stimulus for home building work on a greater scale than any since 1926. Some tims ago sentimental song-writers achieved considerable success with their “Getting Back to That Tumble-Down Shack” and “Shanties in Old iShantytown,” though it is difficult for most of us to sense the attraction of shacks and shantie: there was apparently a great deal more r these songs than in most popular songs of t day A report of the American Health Association re- veals that one-fourth of America’s rural homes have plumbing; less than one-fourth have running water, and less than half el In addition, D Haven Emerson of that association cites that a great percentage of our urban homes are fire decidedly wasteful of heat because they are not insulated, and excessively hot in mid-summer for the same reason. He adds that thousands of homes in the South lack screens to keep out the malarial mosquito, and proper sanitation unknown. There are millions of splendid homes in our count but there are several tim: as many ihat are unfit for human habitation. Thousands of homes in every State that were satisfactory a few years ago are rapidly deteriorating. They are badly in need of new roofs, painting, plumbing, and other improvements. Most home owners desire to keep their properties in repair, but have been unable to obtain the loans necessary to finance such work The housing bill is designed to meel the demand for long-term, low-interest loans. The program is sure to obtain strong support. Certainly there can be no better use for Federal funds than in loans for rebuilding and improving American homes. If the housing program is intelligently carried through, a future generation of song-writers will not chant about tumble-down shacks and cabins in the cotton, but will write tender lyrics about “That Fireproof, Insulated, Tile-Bathroomed, Electrically Equipped Home of Mine.” At least such homes would be more worth singing about than tumble-down shacks and unsani- tary shanties. But y in is Onward—VWith the League. (New York Times.) One year ago President Roosevelt proclaimed the Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating Distribution of Narcotic Drugs. This was possible as the result of its ratification by a sufficient number of States. The creditable part that Turkey has had in making the treaty effective was emphasized in a celebration of the anniversary of this important international action. Turkey had been a chief exporter of raw opium and had to make the greatest effort to suppress illicit traffic. The League in receiving the report of its Opium Advisory Committee gave special praise to Turkey for driving out the traffickers. Under its new laws the manufacture of narcotics is a Government monopoly. Representatives of the United States, cooperating with the League of Nations committee, had a lead- ing part in determining and formulating the policy eventually adopted. This country was the first to ratify the convention. Its central, purpase is to re- strict the manufacture of narcotics to the medical and scientific requirements of each country. To this end the central board will receive and pass upon the estimates of producing countries and keep track of shipments to others. The plan seems to be in successful operation, but, as Secretary 'Hull has pointed out, legislation by the several States of the United States will be required to “implement” the treaty. . As noted at the time that its provisions be- came internationally binding, the treaty involved a far greater yielding of national sovereignty on the part of the Signatory Powers than any other treaty, in that it permitted an international board to pass. upon domestic need and limit the right of manufacture. This is an action in international cooperation on the part of the United States Government that may lead the way to a closer working with the League in other common interests. International control of the manufacture and trade in arms is suggested as the closest analogy. is forced to pass through the tiny raindrops is the same as that of the colored corona often seen near the sun or moon but of much larger radius and purer and brighter in color, owing to #he extra- ordinarily minute size of the drops and the thin- pess of the silky, gauzy clouds.

Austria-Hungary had formally declared war against Servia, and official notification of the fact was conveyed to Servia. The dec- laration of war was immediately followed by a general movement of troops toward the Servian bor- der. Austrains won the first en- gagement in the war with Servia when they captured the Servian Danube river steamer Deligrad af- ter slight r tance. The Ad- miralty of Berlin had ordered the concentrating of the German fleet in home waters and Great Bri- tain’s battleship squadrons were being mobilized where they would be in readiness for action. It was hoped in France, that if war was inevitable, it might be confined to as small an area as possible, Rus-! sia announced it would enter the field against Austria if the lat- ter's fighting forces crossed tl » | Servian border | il Juneau was one game ahead in the series being played with Doug- las and hoped to cinch the series into the game the following day, declared Manager R.
