INQUIRENDO OPENS [TS FOURTH YEAR Joseph C. Fehr Continues Head of Young Intellec- tuals’ Group. The Inquirendo, Washington's pro- | gressive group of young inteliectuals, | has just started on its fourth year and | is ‘again delving deeply into history, | science, art and politics. The organiza- tion's aim is similar to that of the “Forty Immortals” and the French | Academy in Paris and the noted Fa- bian Society in London. | The name Inquirendo comes from a writ in the civil law of Spain known | as the “writ of inquirendo,” meaning to “want to know,” to “inquire into." Carrying out this idea, the local group consists in the main of young men in | their thirties and forties, all of whom| are playing important roles in the Gov- and professional life of the c1b was organized three ye 8go wi.i a_charter membership of 1t was the idea of Joseph Conred Fehr, | a lawyer and author, and since its organization meetings have been| held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred | S. Schow, 2701 Chesapeake street, where the I nquirendo membe and their guests gather twice monthly. Since its foundation, Mr. Fehr has been the club president and majordomo. The other officers are Judge C. Rog- | ers Arundell of the United States Board of Tax Appeals, vice president; Warren W. Grimes, attorney, secretary-treas- urer, and J. O'C. Roberts, solicitor of the Veterans’ Administration, chairman of the Membership Committee. These gentlemen, together with Harold A. La- fount, Federal radio commissioner, com- prise ‘the group’s Executive Committee. Senator King a Member. ‘The members of the unique organiza- tion include Senator Willlam H. King | of Utah, W. M. Jardine, American Min- ister to Egypt and former Secretary of Agriculture; Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans' administrator;: E. B. Brossard of the United States Tariff Comm! sion, Logan Morris, chairman of the United States Board of Tax Appeals; Benjamin H. Bartholow, legislative counsel of the Treasury Department; C. M. Charest, general counsel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue; Walter Wyatt, general counsel of the Federal Reserve Board; Rev. Peter V. Master- son of Georgetown University, A. Ham- ilton Wilson, Washington architect; Lieut. Comdr. Mervin Bennion, E. H. Martin and E. P. Bowyer of the Ameri- | can-German Claims Arbitration; Harry | C. Butcher of the Columbia Broadcast- | ing System, E. E. Daniy of the De- partment of Justice, Dr. Leroy Sawyer, | A. F. Cardon of the Federal Farm Loan | Board, Theodore P. Huntley, secretary | to Senator David A. Reed of Pennsyl- | vania; Milton S. Eisenhower, chief of the Bureau of Information of the De- partment of Agriculture; Fernando E. Piza, Costa Rican diplomat: Harry M. Seydel of the Veterans’' Administration, | Merlo J. Pusey, journalist; Prew Sav Eldon P. King, James M. Williamson, Warren F. Wattles and Charles J. Valear, all of the Treasury Department and Bureau of Internal Revenue; and Conway P. Coe, H. B. McCawley, Walter | G. Moyle, A. H. Paul, Fred S. Schow, | Robert T. Scott, Earl W. Shinn, S. M. | Stellwagon, all practicing attorney: and R. W. Rogers, landscape architect. Distinguished Speakers’ Heard. The members of this wide-awake organization have heard many dis- tinguished speakers during the past three years. Among those who have addressed the Inquirendo are Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War; Senator William H. King, Sir Willmott | Lewis, Washington correspondent of the London Times: Rev. Edmund A. ‘Walsh of Georgetown University, Dr. Otto H. F. Vollbehr, famous collector of the Gutenberg Bible and other incunabula; Senator Reed Smoot, Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President; Senator J. Hamiiton Lewis, Admiral Robert E. Coontz, re- tired; Dr. George Barthelme of the Cologne Gazette, Wilson McCarthy, di- rector of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law School. To the president, Mr. Fehr, the mem- bers give chief credit for the ever- growing prestige of the club. He drew | the membership partly from contacts | made while assistant counsel with the | German-American Mixed Claims Com- | mission, and later in the Internal | Revenue Bureau and the Veterans' | Bureau legal departments. Through | his indefatigable energy, the members say, President Fehr has made it pos- sible for the club to hear a notable array of writers, statesmen and others | that shed new light on the leading | social, economic and political problems | of the day. The guests often include . cabinet officers, members of both Houses of Congress, other high Government officials, celebrated authors, diplomats, | clergymen and scientists whose opinions are not only intensely interesting but most divergent. And it is these sharp differences of opinion that make the discussions after each address of the greatest possible value.

By the Associated Press. A new machine that will search across 93,000,000 miles of space for se- crets of the earth’s weather believed hidden on the sun went into action yes- terday at the Smithsonian Institution It will measure more accurately than ever before the tiny ups s1d downs in the sun’s radiation that are believed to be the key to long-term “weather cycles” on earth. The machine’s scien- tific name is the double water-flow pyrheliometer, a Greck word meaning “heat-of-tne-sun measurer.” Its inven- tor is Dr. Charles G.

Dlst. 3458 the entire world will be provided by the new pyrheliometer, replacing the old standard used for many years by scientists of many nations, which was originally worked out by the Smith- sonian. F Measures “Solar Constant.” The pyrheliometer provides a start- |ing point for measuring the sun’'s heat | changes which are so small that many scientists in the past did not believe they existed. It measures the “solar | constant” which is the standard or average amount of sun's heat that reaches the earth. Heat changes above or below this constant it is believed hold the weather key. 2 What the machine measures is not all the heat that falls on earth, but the amount that falls each second on an imaginary black cube one centimeter | square out at_the edge of the ecarth's atmosphere. It does this with an ap- parent error of less than one-tenth of 1 per cent. Though the outer edge of the at- mosphere cannot be reached to make such measurements, they can be made on the earth’s surface by allowing for the heat absorbed by the atmosphere. | Origin of Motive Force. | The new pyrlheliometer shows that 11.893 calories of heat from the sun fall on the imaginary black cube each sec- ond and this is the value of the solar constant. A calorie, according to one | definition, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree centigrade. The day-by-day ups and downs of heat that arc believed to infleunce the weather amount only to & few hundredths or thousandths of a calorie. “The sun is the earth's one basic source of energy,” the Smithsonian In- stitution explained in announcing the | new pyrheliometer. | cosmic furnace is derived, however, in- | directly, the motive force for all ter- | restial phenomena, from the tempest that destroys cities to the violet that {peeps out_of the soil on the edge of Winter. Doubtless variations in this {basic energy cause far-reaching varia- |tions in the operations of the earthly mechanism as a whole. Chiefly, it is | believed, they affect the weather, and through this, almost everything else.” Will Order Vote Probe.

By the Assoclated Press. | PANAMA CITY, November 19.—The tuna clipper ship Continental, owned by the Westgate Sea Products Co, San Diego, Calif., burned and sank off Cocos Island Tuesday night, it was revealed yesterday in a radio message received |by the United States fifteenth naval district. The crew of 14 Americans was reported to have reached shore un- injured. The Continental’s sister ship Salvador was reported to have picked up 10 of the castaways, but was forced to leave the four others on the little island in the Pacific, about 550 miles southwest of here, because of lack ¢f accommoda- tions. It sent a radio message to naval au- thorities of the Canal Zone requesting that a naval vessel pick up the entire crew and return them to California. THe U. S. S.
