OF RADID TOWERS High Antenna Called More \ Hazardous to Flyers by i Day Than by Night. High radio antenna present more of a daytime than nocturnal menace to aviation for the simple reason that the usual thinness of the masts or towers makes their visibility uncer- tain during the davtime, while they can be lighted during the night. While casualties resulting from air- eraft collisions with antenna masts or towers have seldom, if ever, been re- ported, it has been officially recoR- hized that the hazard exists. By way of precaution. the Navy Department has arranged to paint the 300-foot steel tower at the Washington Navy Yard with alternating black and white stripes so as to make it more visible to aviators during the daylight hours. Navy officials explain that the paint- ing of the Washington tower is in the nature of a preliminary experiment to determine the efficiency of this method. If proved efficacious, other gimilar high antenna supports of the Navy, in areas which like Washington are frequented by aircraft, will be | similarly painted. The Army and rivate owners of such supports will expected to do likewise. The names of the five men whom President Coolidge will nominate for the Federal radio commission will be known this week. Since Congress adjourns Friday, the names neces- sarily must go to the Senate before that time. No less than 900 men have applied or have been recommended for places on the commission, it was stated at the White House. The President was said to be having no little difficulty in choosing men most desirable by vir- tue of their legal and technical train- ing in the field of radio. Probably the outstanding radio fea- ture tonight will be provided by the Pan-American Union, which has ar- ranged to broadcast through the naval station NAA an impressive program of Latin-American music. The broadcast will mark the radio @ebut of the newly organized United 8ervice Orchestra, a combination of the best musicians of the Army and Navy bands, which plays alternately under Lieut Benter of the Navy Band and Capt. William Stannard of the Army Band. The concert will be em- bellished with cello and marimba so- Jos and recitals by Senor Milla Ybarra de Dominguez of Mexico, formerly o- Joist with the Chicago Symphony Or- ehestra, and Carlos Viaderrama, noted Peruvian composer and pianis “Mignon,” the masterpiece of Am- Proize Thomas, will be produced to- night by the WEAF Grand Opera Co, for stations of the “red” network of the National Broadcasting Co. of which WRC is a link. The opera, as usual, will be_in tablold form under the direction of Cesare Sodero. Two other attractions will be im- ported by WRC from New York—the weekly programs of Hires Harvesters and the A. & P. Gypsies.

SCENTTDENES EARTH IS DRPHAN Progeny of Sun and Didn’t Grow Like “Topsy,” He Says After Long Study. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 28. — Our earth is a progeny of the sun, rather than some cosmic orphan which, like “Topsy" just “growed,” Thomas Chrowder Chamberlain, professor emeritus of the University of Chl- cago, has concluded after 22 years of study of his planetismal hypothesis formulated in 1904. Prof. Chamberlain's theory started with the assumption that a star ap- proached the sun near enough to stimulate solar eruption sufficient to cause the sun to project small masses of substances toward the star, the star drawing the sun-substance in the direction of its own motion, and giv- ing the substance revolutionary ac- tion about the sun. Drawn From Sun. The substance drawn from the sun has become the earth, Prof. Cham- berlain has concluded, slowly building up in a solid state until it has reached its present size. That the earth grew in a solid state eo its effects would he perma- nent, except as such soltd structures modified themselves as they grew, is Prof. Chamberlain's conclusion, how- ever, hecause, he said, if the globe had been moiten the differences in structure would have disappeared and the whole globe would be symmetri- cal and free from peculiarities. Rotated on Own Axis. FEarth-matter projected from the sun rotated on its own axis, similar to a shell fired from a rifled cannon, the professor siad. This rotation aided in the dispersion of the holts into scattered hodies revolving around the sun-like planets, leaving only a small proportion of the heavi- est and slowest still under the con trol of its own gravity, The scattering not only involved the cooling of the matter, but gave it its orbital state, Prof. Chamberlain sald, and dispersed the gases be- cause their molecules were too light and too swift to be held under con- trol of the matter. Re-collection of these small bodies into orbits would be too slow to heat the earth into a molten mass, the professor said. MAY GET SIAM POST. Harold MacKenezie Considered as Russell's Successor.

By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, February 28.—College business career, J. F. Hallwachs, em- ployment secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., said after spending seven years listening to hopeful youths and the demands of employers. “A diploma in the right hand, a fra- ternity key on the watch ehain and a generous portion of psychology, lan- guages and history in the head are no longer the best stepping stones to| modern business,” Mr. Hallwachs said. | “In fact, here in Chicago the culture | of handicap.” He declared that the dislike for col- lege youths is largely due to their ex- pectation of rapid advancement and a large salary too quickly.
