MISSON T0 V0 AN GRATITUDE Four Women to Tour U. S. to Express Appreciation for Quake Aid. Japan is sending to the United States shortly before March 26, the date offi- cially fixed for the general celebration o©f the completed reconstruction of Tokio and Yokohama, four women envoys of gratitude, representing the millions of grateful citizens of these once earth- quake-stricken cities. Their mission is not governmental but purely unofficial. They come to the United States to express to President Hoover and other Americans the sense of gratitute cherished by the millions of sufferers in_ the 1923 catastrophe and the people generally for the humanitarian spirit and international friendship so splendidly manifested by the American Government and people at that critical time. ‘Will Visit Washington. On their tour to this country the envoys will visit San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, Philadelphia, New Chicago, Seattle and Portland, Oreg. They plan to call on President Hoover, ex-President Cool- idge, Cyrus E. Woods, United States Ambassador in Tokio at the time the catastrophe, the Secretaries of War and Navy, headquarters of the Ameri- can Red Cross and the mayors of the cities on their scheduled route, as we as other organizations instrumental in rendering aid to the quake suffcrers. Gifts of books and photographs de- scriptive of reconstructed Tokio and Yokohama will be presented to Presi- | dent Hoover and others. The tour is being sponsored by the Jiji Shimpo, the most influential of the daily newspapers of Japan, Wwhic! arranged the trip under its own ‘The young women are being York, Boston, tive women by & mittee headed by ce Tokugawa, president of the House of Peers and of the Japanese-American Society, ‘who was the chief delegate to the Wash- ington Disarmament Conference. ‘They will carry to America not only & mes- sage of national thanksgiving for & formal report concerning the success- ful completion of reconstruction work in the two citles.

Studied Lense qumulas at Early Age. ¢ . Special Dispatch to The Star. LARNED, Kans., March 15 (NAN.A). —With an education in astronomy glud in true Abe Lincoln fashion, lyde W. Tombaugh, 24, born and reared on his father's farm in Pawnee County, northeast of Burdette, has par- ticipated in what his associates at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz., call the greatest astronomical achieve- ment since the discovery of Neptune in 1846. With fingers and eyes carefully trained by more than a dozen years of intensive, lonely work with homemade telescopes in his father’s farmyard, he was able to get results from the big 13-inch special photographic telescope equipped with refractor type lenses which have startled the world. Parents Fostered Leaning. His father and mother are Mr. and Mrs. Muron B. Tombaugh, who always have fostered his leaning toward as- tronomy. He is the eldest of six chil- dren. i ‘Working on the theory expounded by the late Dr. Percival Lowell, founder of the Lowell Observatory years ago, that a planet at it a8 large as the young Tombaugh made his amazing discovery. Clyde became connected with the Lowell Observatory a little more than 11 | & year ago. He furnished drawings and other data taken from his observations at the eyepleces of his homemade in- struments, proving to the scientists’ satisfaction that he was the man they wanted to aid in the search for the predicted planet, according to his father. His first interest in astronomy was handed down by his father. His father h|and his uncle, L. M. Tombaugh of Streator, Ill, constructed a small tele- scope about 35 years ago, the father relates, fitted with a lens magnifying t:nmdlmeunprocundn'omawl- e. Surveyed Heavens With Delight. ‘With it they ued the heavens for endless enjoyable hours at night. Be- fore they always derived keen pleasure from merely making casual observations with the naked eye and comparing them, but with the construc- tion of the new telescope their interest rapidly increased. While still together at the old family hn:ne in Streator spend home, while the other boys of the rural thhorhood were at play, studying works by noted astronomers and absorb- ing as 'much of them as he could. He would go around with the words of a an upedugnfllulomuhonhuu and Shimpo. | frequently was dubbed a fool his schoolmates.

He constructed a slightly smaller telescope the next year for his uncle in Streator, grinding and polishing the lenses as before. He made this one with & 7-inch reflector. When it was completed it would magnify clearly to 150 diameters, according to Mr. Tom- baugh. This telescope was equipped with a Polar axis mounting, so that the North Star could be observed without continually making changes in the di- recting apparatus. The next year the urge to make a bigger and better instrument gripped him and he constructed a telescope with a 9-inch reflector, bringing the heavens 300 times nearer. It was fitted with special eyepieces and with this he spent many hours taking data, later to draw his own conclusions concerning what was going on above. It was these conclusions that won for him his place with some of the most eminent men in the astronomical profession. Congratulations Pour In. Throughout the day following the announcement of his discovery the | home was deluged with telephone calls. | His friends were extending their con- | gntumlons. The breakfast dishes were ft undone and the family was ner- vously happy. His mother is a kindly spirited little | Kansas farm woman. There is noth- ing ostentatious about her, and when she speaks of him it is with a quiet pride. He is her son; she has watched him through the years of study and observation and fostered his inclina- tion wherever and whenever she could. (Copyright, 1930.)
