T [ Man Who Put Over $150,000,000 Deal Unknown 10 Years Ago. By Consolidated Press. NEW YORK, April 2—The romance of American business has brought into prominence another financial genius whose rise has been rapid and whose purchase of Dodge Brothers, Thos Sver the head of ithe Monne Of| 1892 itie: contiibutant §51000 ito utre Morgan has attracted nation-wide at- tention. This man is Clarence Dillon of Dillon, Read & Co., New York banker: At 43 Mr. Dillon has set a mark s cely equaled in fi nce in the past few decades and which over- night has placed him in the front rank of big business. The purchase of the Dodge Brothers' company for something like $150,000,- 000 constituted the Mrgest deal in th automobile industry since the forma- tion of the General Motors Corpora- tion. Won After Hard Fight. In spite of the impression given that the fight for the control of the Dodge company was carried on be- tween Dillon, Read & Co. and the Morgan firm on the most friendly basis, it is understood that the strug- gle has been a keen one. Mr. Dillon, who went aggressively into the fight, was hardly known in Wall Street a decade ago. He was born in Texas and in 1905 was gradu- ated from Harvard University. He associated himself with the old firm of William A. Read & Co. in 1913 and three years later became its active head. In 1 it was announced that | the name of the firm had been changed to Dillon, Read & Co. Mr. Dillon has put over other large deals involving industrial and rail- road enterprises in the United States and Canada, but the Dodge purchase is his greatest accomplishment Much of the credit for the Dodge deal goes also to A. C. Schwartz, | whose friends with the Dodge familles is sald to have opened the way for Dillon-Read’s participation in the transaction. Mr. Schwartz his brother, Morton L. Schwartz both well known in the sporting world. “Charlie” Schwartz, as the former is familiarly known, came to New York from Louisville, Ky., about 16 years ago and engaged in the in- vestment business Big Merger Predicted.

Geographic Society and Smithsonian Will Co- Operate in Work. The National Geographic Society to- day announced that it will send, in co-operation with the Smithsonian Institutfon, an expedition half way around the world for a remarkable purpose—to make a daily measure of the heat of the sun To the layman such an inquiry ap- pears an ultra-refinement of sclen- tific research, but, should the joint expedition work out the findings it hopes for from its studies, all civil- ized mankind will benefit by the re- sults. The observations will extend over four vears. They will be made to termine a method of long-range weather forecasting by which it is hoped a cyclone across our Middle West, stormes at sea, a week or rain- less days for a county fair, or the last frost of Spring can be predicted well in advance. The expedition will be known as “The Natlonal Georgraphic Society's Solar Radiation Expedition, in Co- operation With the Smitsonian Insti- tution,” according to the announce- ment of Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, pre: ident of the society, and its purpose, as officially defined, Is “to carry on for four years dally observations of the solar constant of radiation in a manner suitable to measure the vari- ation of the sun. Dr. Abbot in Charge. Dr. Charles G. Abbot, director of the Smithsonian Institutiows Astro- physical Observatory, who has been called the Isaac Newton of the laws f the sun, will be the expedition Jeader. The work of solar observation has been carried on by Dr. Abbot and his ssociates at the Smithsonian’s astro- physical observatory since 1902. At first observations were made for a part of each year at Mount Wilson, Calif. In 1918 a station was estal lished in the nitrate desert of Chile and two vears later a station was set up on Mount Harqua Hala, in Arizona, which took over the work previously done at Mount Wilson. The estab- lishment of the new station will add to the value of the work of the two stations already established. The results of these solar radiation strides have been acclaimed by the scientific world. The reason for mak- ing them was humorously put by a member of Congress, who, advocating more appropriations for the work, which has been handicapped for lack of funds, said: “Well, since every- thing comes from the sun, I think we ought to provide money to investigate that, too.” Dr. Abbot will inake a preliminary survey of points in Asia and Africa before it is decided where to estab- lish a field station for the proposed expeditio Sheds Equal Heat. The principle underlying the inves- tigations is that the sun sheds itslife- heat equally on every square inch of the outer surface of our planet ex- posed to it—only the outer surface In this case is the surface. of the ocean of air in which we live, and not the surface of the earth on which we move. The solar geographer's task would be easy if men, like fish, could arise to the surface of their air ocean Since man cannot do that he must devise ways to overcome the inter- ference of vapors and dust particles that affect a sunbeam the instant it strikes the outer rim of our air envelope. It is to discount this interference that Dr. Abbot has spent decades in devising unique instruments, which the expedition will use, and in per- fecting others which the late Samuel Pierpont Langley invented. It was recalled today that an early impetus was given to the study of solar radiation by a former president of the National Geographic Society, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, when, in strophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution to start studying solar radiation. Today the National Geographic Socfety set aside $55,000 to be expended in the four years' study which may bring the dream of long range weather fore- casting to a practical realization, Variations of Weather. The layman usually is astounded when told that all our weather—the rains and the snows, the storms and the droughts—have their origin in the slight variation of heat we get from the sun. This variation over short periods is only 3 or 4 per cent; in the 20 vears of Dr. Abbot's study its outside limits have only been be- tween 10 and 11 per cent The highly complex effects of this Harpis Ewing DR.

In passing it should be noted that it it not merely temperatures of the sun rays that are to be taken, but the heat, which implies energy, so that the measure is in terms of calories— the standard adopted being a given number of “calories per square centi- meter per minute.” Standard of Measurement. This means that if you had a cube of water the size of a dice, and this water were blackened o it would absorb heat, and if you could carry it outside the atmosphere so the sun's rays could strike it “head-on,” those rays would warm it two degrees per minute. The first Instrument devised to “talke the pulse” of a sunbeam is a comparatively simple mechanism with a long name—the pyrheliometer. A long tube catches the sun’s rays and projects them upon a blackened silver digk, which is connected with a ther- mometer. Obviously this instrument registers the sunbeam “F. O.

THREATEN POLES Mission and Consul Guarded | From Reds Inflamed ‘ by Murders. By the Astociated Press MOSCOW, April 2—Demonstrations over the slaying of the two terrovr- ists, Baginski and Wierzorkiewics, near the Polish frontier, where they were to have been exchanged for two Poles, held by the Soviets, have caused the authorities to post a strong guard over the quarters of the Polish mission here, Mounted troops also are patrolling the streets around the Polish con- sulate in Leningrad, not allowing the demonstrators to approach the building The official news agency, Rosta, says the commissariat of foreign af- fairs has protested to the Polish mis- sion against the alleged concealment by Polish Consul Karchevsky, at nak, of Father Ussak, whom the Soviets are seeking to arrest on a serious charge. A Warsaw dispatch yesterday re- ported that Father Ussak was one of the two Poles to have been ex- changed for Baginski and Wierzor- kiewicz. Rosta adds that Consul Karchev- sky's exequatur has been annulled and that the Polish mission has been requested to order his immediate withdrawal.

PRESIDENT 10 VISIT CORGORAN GALLERY With Mrs. Coolidge Will Have; Private View of Young Inness’ Painting. A private view has been arranged for President and Mrs. Coolidge at 4 o'clook this afternoon when they will visit the Corcoran Gallery of Art to inspect the painting entitled “The Only Hope,” the work of George Inness, jr., son of the eminent land- scape artist, who died some years ago. This large picture was painted by Mr. Inness in the interest of the peace movement. It is described as a telling message to the younger gen- eration and will, through the good offices of a committee of prominent American philanthropists, be later taken on a tour of American educa- tional institutions. This work of art kas been pronounced as of outstand- ing spiritual quality and its presence in this clty under the auspices of | the New York Chamber of Commerce aroused the desire of the President to see it Other Exhibits Ready. | With the staging of six separate special exhibitions the Corcoran Gal- lery is undergoing a pre-Easter pe- riod of specfal activity. Not only the number but the wide variety of these displays are unusual. There is a spe- cial exhibition of 47 fine paintings by the late famous Anders Zorn in one of the galleries. while in the cases in the upper hall is a second display of 27 etchings by the same artist. Mau- rice Fromkes of New York is holding an exhiblt of 47 paintings, depicting Spanish life, scenery, etc. All were done in Spain. There is an exhibition of delicate little silhouettes by Baron- ess Aveline von Maydell of New York, whose subjects include Mrs. Coolidge and a number of other women of prominence, while Albert Laessle of Philadelphia is represented by a group of sculptures of animals and birds. These exhibitions, some of which are already open. with others sched- uled to open today, either have been or will be commented upon Sunday by Lella Mechlin, art editor of The Star. Fire E;:gmeAF éils In Mile-a-Minute Dask: to Save Home Makes Fast Run to La Plata, But Finds Posey Residence Burned. Covering 32 miles in 36 minutes, members of No. 25 engine company, located at Congress Heights, dashed to La Plata, Md, yesterday in re- sponse to an appeal for help, when the home of the late Adrian Posey, prominent banker and lawyer, was swept by fire. Although the Washington firemen were summoned too late to save the big residence, they succeeded in pre- venting the flames, whipped by strong winds, from destroying sur- rounding structures. The Posey home was burned to the ground: by the time No. 25 company reached the scene. Mrs. Posey was in her house at the time the fire started, and she called help from the surrounding country- side. The volunteers, however, had no water to throw on the blaze, and when ‘it was seen that nearby build- ings would soon go, too, Chlef Wat~ son was asked to send assistance from Washington. He ordered Sergt. C. L. Satterfield to take his company down to La Plata immediately. On the trip the Washington com- pany reached a speed of a mile a minute much of the time. When they reached the fire they found sev eral buildings already ignited from flylng sparks and set to work dam- ming a small stream for a supply of water. WIith this supply they soon extinguished the smaller fires and saved half a dozen houses from cer- tain destruction With Sergt. Satterfield ax membars | of the company were G. A. Bessler F. A.
