By the Associated Press. GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Feb- ruary 21.—The Catholic Arch- bishop of this diocese has de- creed that all children born in his jurisdiction this year shall be named Guadalupe, after the patron saint of Mexico. Guadalupe is a girl's name, but it will be applied to boys also, with prefixed. Priests throughout the archdiocese have been instructed to give this name to_all children they baptize. Mexico this year is celebrating the end of the third century since the virgin of Guadalupe made a miraculous appearance in the little town of Guadalupe, near Mexico City. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif, Pebruary 21.— Mysteries of the sun engaged the at- tention of Albert Einstein today. He lunched with Dr. Charles E. St. John of Carnegie Institution at Mount Wilson Laboratory here. The perplexing question raised by the observations relates to rotation of the sun All that can be measured is the rotation of the sun’s reversing layer, or the turbulent atmosphere 350 miles from the sun’s surfacc. The rotation of this reversing layer is changing, has been slowing down for some 30 years, and is picking up speed again. Rotation Accelerating. Systems devised in 1906 by Dr. Walter |S, Adams, director of Mount Wilson, and accepted internationally as the most accurate, revealed the atmosphere of — the sun was rotating in 1906 at the rate of one revolution in 24% days. Continuous observation by Adams" photospectrum method revealed this rotation slowing up until in 1930 it was | but once in 26% days. Then it started to gain speed, in the last year it being | six-tenths of a day faster. Dr. St. John presented the data to| Einstein, suggesting it might result | from currents, it being known the cur- rents in the sun’s atmosphere are usually eastward, in the direction of the rotation. | | Cycles in Rotation. | One thought, which will take years to test by observation, is that there | may be some cycle of 24 years in charge of speed of rotation, perhaps xelallng to 11-year cycles of sun spots, Linked with this is suspected to be some interesting phenomena affecting | the gravitational influence of the sun. | These observations have been at the 350-mile altitude of the sun’s atmos- | phere, and new observations will in- clude rotation of the outermost layer of atmosphere, between 9 and 10 thou- sand miles from the sun. Study of the sun holds the sccret to the stars, it being the largest of the near stars, although small in compari- son with distant stars. The sun is a hundred times as large as the earth. It is 93,000,000 miles from the earth and its light takes 8!2 minutes to reach the earth.
