"B THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, -D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921—PART 1. COOKING BY HEAT OF SUN'SRAYS |MUTT AND JEFF—Thirty a Week Isn’t to Be Sneezed at These Days. - AMONG NEW SCIENTIFIC FEATS . Twenty-three Separate Expeditions De- scribed in Annual Exploration Pamphlet Cooking by the sun's rays is described in the annual exploration pamphlet just issued by the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. C. G. Abbot tells of the successful | operation on Mount Wilson, Calif., of a “solar cooker” devised by him. With this apparatus it was possible. Dr. Abbot reports, using only the sun" heat, to cook bread, meat, vegetables and preserves. Twenty-three separate expeditions are described in the pamphlet. The field - work during 1920 took scientists into the Canadian Rockies. fourteen states of the United States, Haiti, Jamaica, South America, Africa, Japan, Korea. Man- “huria, Mongolia, Austraiia and the Ha- waian Islands. Forest Fires Hinder Work. Secretary Walcott continued his geo- togical work in the Cambrian rocks of the Canadian Rocky mountains in the region northeast of Banff, Alberta. The work was hindered considerably during July and August by forest fires and by ~ontinuous stormy weather in Septem- ber, but the particular questions in- ~olved in the season's research were vettled satisfactorily and some beau- tiful photographs of this wild and rug- ~ed region are shown in the pamphle ither geological field work was success- ully carried on in various states of the i'nited States by members of the staff. In astrophysical research the insti- tution was unusually active. Throush rhe generosity of John A.

Mr. Raven shipped to the institution much interesting zoological material which was greatly needed for purpose the famous Roosevelt and Rainey col- lections already in the National Museum. Many interesting photo- aphs of the animals, the natives, nd the country itself are shown in this account and in that of Dr. Shantz, who accompanied the expedition as a botanical collector In Australia a Smithsonian natural- list _collected, through the generosity of Dr. W. L. Abbott, specimens of the fast-disappcaring remarkable fauna of the continent, while Dr. Abbott himself secured a great number of plants, birds, and other_natural his- tory material for the National Mu- seum, in various regions of Haiti. A number of other zoological and bo- tanical expeditions are briefly de- scribed and illustrated. In anthropology, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka }of the National Museum conducted extensive investigations in the far east, with the objects in view of con- tinuing the study of the origin of the American Indian, examination of the oldest skeletal remains in Japan, fur- thering the interests of physical and medical anthropology in China and in- vestigations among the rapidly disap- pearing full-blooded Hawalians. The work was successful in every respect. Excavates “Fire Temple.” Dr. J. Walter Fewkes continued his {archeological fleld-work on the Mesa :rde National Park, Col.

The Senate stood firm in favor of the Borah disarmament amendment to the naval appropriation bill yesterday, and declined to accept further amendments offered by Senators Pomerene of Ohio and Walsh of Montana, democrats. Final action on the naval bill was not taken, however, and its further con- sideration goes over until Tuesday, the Senate having adjourned over Memorial day. Senator Pomerene’s amendment was supplementary to the Borah amend- ment calling for a conference of the United States, Great Britain and pan on a curtailment of naval arm. {ment. It would have authorized the President to suspend for six months the naval buflding program of the United States in order to arrange the proposed conference, and if a disarma- ment agreement could be reached to suspend construction in part or in whole. Sustain Vice Presiden: The Senate sustained a ruling of the Vice Presdent holdng the Pomerenc amendment out of order, and then, by la vote of 36 to 29, declined to suspend the rules to make the amendment in order. It would have required a two- thirds vote in the affirmative to sus- pend the rules. The Walsh amendment would have authorized the President to send American representatives to sit with the disarmament commission of the league of nations. It was defeated, 42 to 22, following a debate in which the league of rations issue was again {@iscussed at considerable length. Senators Lodge and Watson of He €ez ke ALL FINE PoLiCE DOGS !

Opposition in House. Opposition has developed in the House to the Borah disarmament amendment to the naval appropria- tion bill authorizing and requesting the President to call a conference of Great Britain, Japan and the United States to ch an _agreement on re- duction of naval forces. Critics of the proposal either contended it was not broad enough or that its adoption should await *“a more opportune time." After a_conference with President Harding, Representative Mondell, the republican leader, said he thought re- duction of naval strength should be accompanied by partial disarmament on land. An international conference should approach the question with this end in view, he added. Mr. Mondell said he could see no ob- jection to Congress suggesting to the President that he call a disarmanent conference of the powers, but added that he thought such an expression should be contained in a separate res- olution and not in an amendment to an appropriation bill He indicated the House might at- tempt to eliminate the Borah amend- ment with the understanding that such a proposal would be considered in the near future independently of other legislation. Representative Britten, Illinois, ranking republican on the House n. val committee, declared he was op- posed to the Borah amendment. The Navy's 1916 building program should be completed, he said, adding that if nations then agreed to disarm it should be with the understanding that they would do 8o permanently.

IN-U. S. SERVICE ative Is Among Those Obligation to the government is recognized as prior to any other obligation, Daniel Leane, represent- ing the Printing Pressmen's Union, and appearing on behalf of the pressmen of the Government Print- ing Office, told the Senate and House civil service committees at the hear- ing yesterday afternoon on reclassi- fication of government employes. Mr. Leane was discussing the ques- | tion of government employes’ affilia- | tion with the American Federation of | Labor, ; The reclassification hearings will be continued Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clogk, the joint committec having adjourned over Decoration day. It is the hope of the commit- teemen to wind the hegrings up next week. No Obligation to Strike. Asking leave to reply further to a question by Senator Nicholson of Col orado a few days ago to another wit- ness, Mr. Leane said that affiiation with the American Federation of La- bor by government employes under no circumstances involved an obliga- tion to strike. 3 “Any question of going on strike is entirely in the control of the men in- volved, and in our organization must aiso be approved by our International before any local could strike. The American Federation of Labor has no authority whatever over any of its afliliatel organizations. “You, of course, recognize an obliga- | tion to the government as prior to any | other obligation?” said Senator Ster- ling, to which Mr. Leane replied “Yes." “A proposal once made to forbid affiliation_with the American Federa- |Helen Hyser wil be planted by children of the com-|he is about the most harmless fellow | yiil women in the trade, who are paid much less than are the men.

The motor truck finally landed | against a tree and came to a stop. Mrs. Parker and her child, neither se- riously hurt, were taken home.

Presumably the lowest-paid em- ployes in the entire government serv- ice were represented at the hearing ystrday afternoon by L. B. Staples, superintendent of the National Train- ing School for Boys. The salaries of the sixty people employed to conduct the institution, train and teach the 320 or more boys usually under their charge as federal offenders com- mited there for purposes of reform, are only $18 to $25 a month. About half of these employes are women, half of whom are teachers, and the women receive $18 to $20 a_month, only the men reaching the $25 grade. The wives and children of the men, Mr. Staples stated, are, of course, obliged to work also in order to make ends meet. The work of this institution should be abolished en- tirely, unless it is to be handled by competent people, declared Mr. Staples. “For Congress to spend great quan- tities of money maintaining such an institution without adequate salaries to secure people qualified to deal with boys fourteen to twenty years old is unfair to the public and an injury to the bonus,” he said. “The employes of the school at present | work “from twelve to sixteen hours every day, seven days a week and on all holidays. With such conditions and at salaries of $15, $20 to $25 a month, we can secure only such peo- ple as we can pick up on the street.” Hospital Laundry Work. Another group of institutional em- ployes. many of whom are receiving only $27.50 a month, plus a part of the bonus, namely $16.50, were repre- sented at the hearing by W. L. Dem- ing, manager of the laundry dep ment_at Elizabeth’s Hospit the Insane. Mr. Deming described | the laundry work, the =kill required | by the workers in the modern laun- dry plant, such as that at St. beth's, and asked that they be recog- nized in the reclassification as an established trade. In the laundry. the kitchen and the dining room of the ! hospital, Mr. Deming pointed out, the employes are working with and in charge of insane patients, and are therefore subject to constant danger.
