Competition for the affections of Corpl. Azor T.

October 20.— | Calculations showing that the earth is continuing to rotate faster than its | regular speed of 24 hours per day were | presented to the American Association of Variable Star Observers in annual convention here last night The interest to many people in the | calculations les in their possible appli- cation to the study of earthquakes rather than to any appreciable change in the length of the day. The cause of the faster speed is suspected to be the contracting of the earth’s crust Explanation was made of periods in which the rotation slows. due perhaps to swelling of the earth's crust, and of the possible relation of both cou traction and swelling to earthquakes. 340 Observations made. The calculations were presented by Ernest W. Brown, Sterling professor of mathematics at Yale Univers were based on 340 observations taken all over the world, of occultat of the moon: that is. of the obscuring of stars when the moon passed in front of them. The variable star observers supplied nearly observations. “The earth's two-thirds of these rotation,” said Prof. a2 Sup Tots 28 feet wide; 6 and 7 rooms: modern bath; spacious porches and other features, too nu- | merous to tion her Chapel and Bunke RUST BLDG. 1001 15™ ST.NW. : : s er-VYalues Describe ' Michigan Park Manor Homes | Honestly Built HERE'S an enduring beau- ty, an ship about every detail in these homes that's unmeasured hy dollars.

The amount, of swelling, if it exists, is very small at most, only a few inches, per- haps 10 or 12, and this would be unob- | servable, because everything, sea and land. would move in the same way. “It is supposed that the expansion and contraction may lead to disturbance | of the earth's crust. such as occurs dur- ing earthquakes.
