) a e~ 14 OPPORTUNITIES STILL NEED $4 868 Associated Charities Hopei New Year Gifts Cover Shortage. ‘With $10,107.84 in hand, $4,868.16 is still needed to complete the fund for the Fourteen Christmas Opportunitles, the Associated Charities announced to- day. The quotas for five opportunities have been raised, and the workers hope con- tributions sufficient to close the others will be sent in as a New Year present to the remaining nine families. One donor writes: “There seems little choice in the destitution of these fami- lies, vet there is an added pathos when | the element of foreign birth enters with | its unfamiliarity with the speech and customs of the country. I am therefore designating my small share in the work | to No. 5. Another writes, “I note the slow prog- ress in the fund, and am wondering if there is not some confusion in people’s minds regarding these families and the blanket fund of the Community Chest.” ‘Those in charge of the work at the Social Service House, it is said, fell that there may be something in this sugges- tion, but explain that these opportunities have been published with the consent of the director of the Community Chest, Elwood Street, and that any money received for them will be credited to these families and deducted from the amount asked for from the Community Chest by the Associated Charities. Contributions may be sent to John B. Larner, treasurer, Associated Char- ities, 1022 Eleventh street northwest, or to the office of The Star. Opportunity No. 1. Fully subscribed with $1,300.

NEW YORK, December 29.—The fastest recorded temperature changes in the universe were reported yes- terday to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, astronomy section, by Edison Pettit and Seth B. Nicholson of Mount Wilson Observatory, California. Study of the temperatures of the moon with the newest of instru- ments, they reported, showed a drop at the rate of more than 70 degrees in 20 minutes. At noon on the moon the tempera- tures rose to 265 Fahrenheit, and when the sun shone were always above 212 degrees in a belt of 1,600 miles wide. When sunlight disappeared the big drop began, the temperature soon reaching & low point of 196 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, cold enough to freeze alcohol. — CALL CROP DISEASE LIKE HUMAN ILLS, AND PREVENTABLE nued From First Page.) amo tato tubers of the disease lmo:: :: net-necrosis, Prof. A. H. Gilber of the McDonald College, Quebec, declared, connecting it with the wide- spread ailment of potato plants called leafroll. Studies of the latest addition to this group of disease, which causes de- generation of potato tubers and plants, were reported by Dr. E. S. tz of the Department of Agriculture and Reiner Bonde of the Maine Agricul- fural Experiment Station. The new disease is known as apical leafroll and causes a dwarfing of the plants with a rolling of the upper leaves. The tubers are smaller than thy ones, but are otherwise normal in ap- pearance. It persists from year to year when diseased tubers are planted. The most conspicuous symptoms appear too late to permit effective control. Sweet Potato Diseases. The widely destructive disease of sweet potatoes known as stem rot can be controlled, Dr. R. F. Poole of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station declared, by dipping healthy sprouts_into a mixture of copper sul- phate, lime and water before planting them in infected soil. ‘Means of controlling the leaf-mold disease which attacks tomato plants in greenhouses were described by A. G. Newhall and Dr. J. D. Wilson of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. The fungus which causes the mold, they said, requires a high of humidity to develop sufficiently to destroy the crop. They have been able to overcome the disease by installing forced air venti- lation in green houses to remove excess moisture, the extent of which can be judged from the fact that a field of tomatoes under June conditions may give off 400 gallons an hour. Similar | difficulties have been encountered with other crops grown in s dur- ing Winter months, and the ventila- tion method is expected to have wide application, The germ which causes fireblight on apple, pear and similar fruit trees is spread by rainwater and not by insects, as has been P.

Computed by President Aylesworth. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 29.—Pres- entation from studios of the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. in the past year cost $5.000,000 for talent alone, said Merlin Hall Aylesworth, president of the company, in a coast-to-coast radio address last night. In addition, the rental for wires to carry the programs to assoclated sta- tions totaled $2,000,000, he said. “In _America,” he continued, we have something like 700 radio stations. If they were to be financed on the British license basis—and at the same expenditure per station—it would cost the listeners of America approximately $192,000,000 in radio taxes, or from $15 to $20 a year tax on every owner of a radio set. “As a matter of fact, in this country we iry to raise the money pain- Jessly. * * * In America we obtain our financlal support in the same way ;as does our sister industry—the pub- lication business. “‘Of course, the advertising on the air and the advertising by publications are entirely different in character. ‘They do not duplicate each other in any way. Neither performs the func- tions of the other. “The radio, the newspaper and the magazine each has its distinct and essential part in any complete adver- tising structure. It is a remarkable fact that this new force, radio-broad- casting, has come into our industrial life as an advertising medium of proved value without disturbing any of the previously existing agencies.” Will Honor Joan of Arc.

Howe Corporation Buys Newspaper ‘Which Won Ancestors Fame. FALLS CITY, Nebr, December 20 (/) —Purchase of the Falls City, Nebr., Journal by a newly formed corporation headed by Gene Howe of Atchison brings back to the Howe family control of the paper on which Ed Howe, the sage of Potato Hill, got his start to edi- torial fame more than a half century ago, and recalls a newspaper romance of the critic’s life. Ed Howe, father of the present editor of the Atchison Globe and Amarillo Globe-News, came to Falls City in 1874 from Golden, Colo., where he had first dipped his pen into newspaper editing at the age of 19. His Golden venture, the Golden Globe, offered too limited a fleld and Mr. Howe returned to the Missouri River country to purchase the Falls City Journal, which he renamed the Globe-Journal. He had worked in | the backshop during his apprenticeship days and liked the town and paper, LYNCHING DROP CITED. 40-Year Period Shows Decrease From 175 to 9 Deaths. NEW YORK, December 20 (#).—The National Association for the advance- nounced a low record had been set this year for the 40-year period for which lynching statistics have been kept in the United States. The total to date was 9, as compared with 175 in 1889. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, in commenting on the difference, said: The figures show, said Johnson, “that throughout the country, particularly in the South, .ith the exception of Mis- slsséDpl. tinct progress is being made.” Georgia has had no lynchings this year, while Mississippi leads the country with three mob killings. Louisiana and Texas follow with two each and Mis- souri and New Mexico have one each. FIRE SWEEPS HOTEL.

NEW YORK, December 29.—A dis- | covery interpreted as meaning that limitless space has some sort of limits was announced yesterday before the American Astronomical Soclety, meeting with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Light, it was suggested, travels in a “closed universe” and not on and on indefinitely. This new concept is a de- velopment of the Einstein theory of relativity. startling concept was made with the world largest telescope, the 100-inch re- flector at Mount Wilson Observatory in California, and was announced in a paper sent in by Dr. Walter S. Adams, director of the observatory. “A few weeks ago,” Dr. Adams wrote, “A small spiral nebula near one of the poles of the Milky Way was observed with the 100-inch reflector on Mount Wilson. It is very faint, and part of one of the most distant objects within range of present telescopes. It was found to be moving away from the earth at the amazing rate of nearly 2,500 miles per second, nearly double the velocity of any cosmical object so far observed.” Dr. Adams was not present, but when his paper was read the story of its significance “broke” in comments by other astronomers. The question they asked was: Is this speed real or is it something else? Mysterious Something Else. For Dr. Adams' figures jgreed with what had been expected (& the “seem- ing speed” of so distant an object. If , but the mysteri- ous “something el been puzzling astronomers, it is explained as the “closed universe.” it is to say, if a person could start out to travel, like light, through space, he would find himself proceeding much as if on the surface of the earth, so that he would come back ultimately to his starting point. The nature of this light bending is mot fully understood, but the dis- covery is hailed as of great significance. Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of Har- vard Obscrvatory, explained this theory by saying: “The measured velocity of 2,500 miles a second is, I believe, not a measure of actual motion, but more probably a measure of ‘crumpling of space’—a relativity effect. “This faint spiral nebula, or outside galaxy, is the remotest object for which measures have been attempted. One of the deductions from the general theory of relativity is that the space-time uni- verse is ‘finite but unbounded’ and that very distant objects should show a spu- rious velocity of recession.” Harvard Figures Given. Dr. Shapley then referred to meas- urements made at Harvard on nearer nebulae to illustrate how their lower velocities fitted with the Mount Wilson dueover{ of higher speed of the nebula that is farther away. The galaxies (star clusters) of the Comavirgo group, which are 10,000,000 light years distant (a light year is the distance light travels in one year at 186,000 miles a second), appear to show this pseudo-velocity to the amount of several hundred miles a second. The object now measured at Mount Wilson is bably 5 or 10 times as distant and seems to show decisively the rela- tivity effect of a “closed” universe. The new information about the ac- tion of light came as an unexpected part of the program of “physics day” of the association, which was finished tonight with a talk by Dr. Compton of the University of Chicago on “What Is Light?” NATIVE PLANTS URGED TO RESEED GRAZING LAND Forest Service Chief Outlines Plan to Build Up Nation’s Forage Resources.

Fossil Sloth’s Body, 500,000 Years Old, Acquired by Yale Prehistoric Specimen Has Artieulated Bones and Yellow Fur. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW HAVEN, Conn., December 29.— The fossil of a ground-sloth, between 500,000 and 1,000,000 years old, “per- haps the most remarkable that has ever come to light,” has been %cquired by the Peabody Museum of Yale Uni- versity, it was revealed here yesterday by Prof. Richard Swan Lull, director of the museum, who announced that he would read a paper describing the fossil before the American Assoclation for the Advancement of Science, now meeting in New York. ‘The animal, which has been extinct since Pilestocene time, probably was about 8 feet long, from its nose to the tip of its heavy tail. The skeleton was found in Santa Ana County, N. Mex, and is in a surprising state of preservation, according to Prof. Lull. Not only is the entire skeleton present, but the bones are held in articulation by the original tendons and ligaments and several portions of the hide re- main, bearing patches of dense, pale- yellow hair, Found in Volcanic Pit. ‘The fossil was discovered in the bot- tom of a pit of volcanic formation near the town of Aden, about 45 miles north- west_of Ewing Waterhouse of and two companions descended into the hole for a depth of more than 100 vertical feet and there found the skeleton, covered with an accumulation of bat-guano, which had preserved it. Prof. Lull believes that the animal fell into the P\'. nearly 1,000,000 years ago, while being chased by other beasts. A more complete ex- ploration of the hole will be made soon to learn whether other fossils may be found there. ‘Waterhouse communicated with the university after the skeleton had been brought to the surface and, fl'fl'ou{‘!ex a fund established at Yale by tl bequest of T. Mitchell Prudden, the specimen was obtained for the Peabody Museum, where it is now mounted. “Only two other ground sloths have been discovered,” commented Prof. Lull, “in which any of the soft parts have been preserved. One was at Consuelo Cove, Last Hope Inlet, at the extreme southern end of South America, and the other was reported many years ago in Big Bone Cave, Tenn. The new Yale specimen shows all that any other dl.wover{ has revealed and more, be- cause of the entirety of the skeleton.” Certain features of this animal, which had not atained full stature, are espe- clally interesting to scientists, 's Prof. Lull. The head was small for the bodily hulk and the teeth were without enamel and grew continuously. A well preserved “food ball” found with the animal, will be analyzed to learn upon what plants the sloth preferred to feed. Another interesting thing about this sloth was the curious distortion of the hind feet, which were so formed that the outer edge rested upon the ground, the three long claws, which pointed inward, clear of the earth. “There must have been a well devel- oped shock-absorbing pad on the outer, or in this case the lower, margin of the foot to bear the creature’s weight,” explains Prof. Lull. “The hind limbs were much more robust than the fore, which were longer, slenderer and highly mobile organs endowed with five mum curved claws. The ‘hands’ were for di or for tearing down the branches of trees.” The skeleton is complete except for the outermost claw of the right forefoot, which evidently was lost in an accident during the sloth’s lifetime. ‘WOODWAR 0" 11" F axD G StrEeTs D HOOVER TRIP SEEN LINKING AMERICAS Spontaneity of Reception; and Frank Talks Impress President-Elect. By the Assoclated Press. U. S. S. UTAH, EN ROUTE TO| HAMPTON ROADS, December 29.— As Herbert Hoover’s associates view the Latin American good-will tour in retro- spect they are impressed by two things —the apparent spontaneity of the re- ception by the people in all nine coun- tries visited, and the frank manner in which government officlals discussed economic and other problems with the President-elect. It was learned early in the tour that the people seemed to know as much, or more, about Mr. Hoover than any other American, possibly because of his work during the war and afterward as Secretary of Commerce. They were also aware of his familiarity with Eu- rope, Asia and Australia, and they were apparently pleased that before becoming | President he wanted to make a first- hand study of Latin America. Relations Discussed. 1t was explained that everywhere the President-elect went government offi- clals talked to him not merely about economic problems of their countries, but also relations with the United States and neighboring nations. ter known and understood abroad, and that they appreciated the value of the journey, not only as tending to improve relationships between North and South America, but in focusing the attention of the American people and the world on each country visited, since in most of them capital and immigrants are needed for development. Mr. Hoover’s assoclates are also con- vinced that there is a better chance for maintaining peace in the Western Hem- isphere than in any great geographical division of the earth’s surface. Attention was called to the fact that all the countries save Brazil have prac- tically the same language, with no in- herent ractal animosities such as exist overseas, the only clouds on the hori- zon being those of boundary disputes. Some of those with Mr. Hoover, who have had experience in dealing with those subjects, are hopeful for early set- tlements of these, since most of the ter- ritories are not yet developed. Con- tinued spread of populations and de- velopment of natural resources would make these Froblema much more diffi- cult of solution. It was stated emphatically, however, that Mr. Hoover did not discuss bound- ary disputes or other political subjects since his mission was wholly one of good will. On occasions when political matters were brought up the President- elect listened quietly without offering comment, unless to clear misapprehen- sion about well defined policies of the United States. .

UTAH, EN ROUTE TO HAMPTON ROADS, December 29.— President-elect Hoover and his good- will party crossed the Equator, accord- ing to the ship's log, less than an hour ago, but this time no one took any no- tice of the event. Every one aboard was initiated into Neptune's realm on the passage down except the wardroom parrot, purchased in Rio. He has al- ready made himself at home, and is ac- quiring the habit of untying shoe laces at_dinner. The Utah has settled down to the homeward-bound routine of work and play. As it is a smaller ship, we are necessarily more crowded than we were on the Maryland, but not uncomfort- ably so. The admiral's quarters, where M and Mrs. Hoover are installe the on are always & m ver live ter of pleasant and intimacy with the officers, the crew and the corre: dents. It all has a family air about it, and every one feels absolutely at home. ‘There is much informal entertaining back and forth between the Hoover mess, which includes all of Mr. Hoover's official party; the wa mess, where most of the correspondents live, and Capt. Train’s mess. Every afternoon Mrs. Hoover enter- tains at tea on deck. Mr. Hoover has his bout with the medicine ball early in the morning, lingers long in talk over breakfast and then usually goes to work at something until luncheon. His desk is in the dining room of the admiral’s cabin, the windows and doors of which are always open to the balmy tropical air, so every one passing to the sporting ground on the upper deck can see him laying the foundations of an administration. Lectures on Latin America. The studious spirit of the voyage is maintained, although we are homeward bound. Books on South America still pass from hand to hand, and the ex- perts of the official party give informal lectures on Latin America and its prob- lems.
