The sun, and thé solar system with it, is moving through space with a Speed of more than 130 miler a second, toward a_point in the dr ‘tion of the contellation Draco, the ragon, which partly encircles the Jorth Pole. This is one of the con- usions reached from recent experi- sents by Prof. Dayton C.

Th» direction_and amount of the drift have been determined by Prof. Miller by comparing measure- nents made at_different times of the day and vear. In the series of experi- ments which he conducted last year, Prof. Miller stated, over 100,000 read- ings of the instrument were made. “This ~required,” should walk, in the dark, cirele for u total distance of 100 miles vhie making the read.ngs.” The general motion of the earth and the rest of the solar system, Prof. Miller finds, is in god agreement vith measurements mada by astrono mers of the motion and is toward a point in the sky having the right as. cension, the celestial equivalent of longitude of 262 degrees and a decli- nation, which corresponds to latitude, of 68 degrees north. Other determina- tions of the motion and its direction have been made by measurements of the motions of th~ stars kv nd of the star clusters. * Aeterminations of the ab. .. fon of the system,” said Dr. Miller, re all in the same general direction and lie within a circle having a radius of 26 degrees.

Marlboro Commissioners See Need Due to Town’s Growth. Special Dispatch to The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Febru- ary 27.—It 1s announced by Judge T. Van Clagett, chairman of the Upper Marlboro Board of Town Commis- sioners, that the commissioners are considering the buflding of a cement sidewalk from Main street to the high school and the building of more side- walks on Main street. In the last several years the town has grown rapidly. An efficient fire department has been organized, which has already saved thousands of dollars’ worth of property: electric lights are now practically assured and much has been done in the way of sidewalk and road Improvements. rier to Financial Restora- tion Scheme. By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 27.—The most critical point in the financial restora- tion discussion in the Senate was passed today when the upper house, after Finance Minister Doumer had made it a question of confidence In the government, adopted by a show of hands the bill establishing a stamp tax on industrial transactions. The vote was 258 to 24. The opposition had endeavored to get this article disjoined from the measures as reported by the finance committee, but the flnance minister insisted that financial restoration such as was contemplated was impossible without the stamp tax. The passage of the other articles of the financial bills, it now is believed, will present no difculties, the re- sistance having centered on the stamp tax. The measure which p the Senate under that denomination is lkely to be renamed when it comes before the Chamber in order to save the prestige of the lower house With that change it is considered certain the Chamber will concur in the Senate iments and that the financial restoration scheme will go into effect during the month of March Lafayette Escadrille.
