Mile Long Tube And Whirling Mirror Cut Science’s Error In Timing Light SANTA ANA, Calif., March 7.—Using an octagonal mirror whirling at the rate of 3,100 revo- lutions a second, scientists plan new tests at the Irvine ranch, near here, to complete measure- ments of the velocity of light. A 32-sided mirror turning 730 times a second has been employed in previous observations by Dr. Francis G. Pease, of the Carnegie Institution’s Mount Wilson ob- servatory, and Fred Pearson, Uni- versity of Chicago. The observa- tions are made in a mile-long vac- uum tube installed three years ago under the diretion of the late Dr. Albert A. Michelson, Check Of Findings Sought Dr. Michelson used an octagon- al mirror, revolving at a lower rate than that now planned, to flash light between Mount Wilson and the top of another peak near- by, announcing in 1927 he had found light traveled 186,284 miles asecond. He believed a still more accurate measurement could be obtained with the 32-sided mirror and the long vacuum tube. Observations made by Dr. Pease and Mr. Pearson, who carried on rafter Dry. Michelson’s death, give results about 10 miles a second less than that obtained by Dr. Michelson in his mountain-to- mountain estimate—a difference of only about one two-thousandth of 1 percent. High Speed Aids Accuracy The use of the new octagonal mirror rotating at the high speed will furnish more light beams for the measurements and should aid considerably in their accuracy, Mr. Pearson said.

After a brief court session, Zangara was taken back to his cell. His attorneys appointed by the court declined to indicate what his plea will be when arraigned Thursday. POSTMISTRESS IS NAMED FOR CRAIG MRS. DOROTHY A. CRAIG GETS POSITION AT NEW PLACE Ry PAUL MAY Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen March WASHINGTON, D. C., 7.—Mrs. Dorothy A. Craig today was commissioned as postmistress at Craig, Monroe county, where a new postoffice has just been es- tablished, It is 14 miles from Is- lamorada and seven miles from Long Key.
