Smithsonian Professor Believes Many Planets to be Uninhabited Dr. C. G. Abbott, Scientist, Rejects Possibility of Nearby Objects Having Intelligent Life. Washington, June 26.-—While there may be many worlds—millions of them—npopulated by beings and cul- tured by civilizations the planet Venus, according to Dr. C. G. Abbot, assis- tant secr ry of the Smithsonian in- stitution, is the only one known to scientists whose conditions most near- ly approximate those under which life thrives, Writing in the institution, just bot, while he to be inhabited of other nearby telligent life. Planet Litfe Believed, Dr. Abbot does cite, however, the ckance that there may be any num- ber of celestial bodies, yet invisible through the most powerful telescope, on which there may thrive some sort of life As Is well states, stars and just as of satellites, 15 inhabited, so may have one or more ers. However, most of these are so far from us, he says, that it is hard- 1y conceivable telescopes will ever be so0 perfected as to detect their sys- tems, if they have them, or decide whether or not such bodies do exist. “The probability is that they do so,” Dr. Abbot states, “and in such im- mense numbers that among them there may well be many suitable for abodes of intelligent life This sub- ject ,of course, opens the door wide for speculation, but this field lies so far from the realms of certainty that it is not my purpose to enter upon it here.” The moon, he continues, is known to be a waterless, airless, mountainous desert. There is no probability what- ever that intelligent life can be there. No living things, scarcely even the hardiest chemical compound, can exist upon the sun because of the in- tense heat. Water, if !t could reach the sun as steam, would be instantly separated into its component gases, oxygen and hydrogen. Gas Planets, Of the sun's outer planets, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter are con- sidered to be composed of gases of slight density. The theory of life on these would he rejected for that rea. son alone. Their temperatures, how- ever, also would render them unfit for life: that of Neptune being estimated | at minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit, Uranus, minus 380 degrees, Saturn, minus 330, and Jupiter, minus 270, Moreover, their density is another factor; the density of Jupiter, which is the greatest of the four, is only 1.3 that of water. As shown by its low reflecting power, Mercury, Dr. Abbot declares, like the moon, is an airless, waterless waste, and being besides baked by a torrid heat, twelvefold that of our own planet, there can be no thought of life there. The main requisites of life are light, certain inorganic salts, carbon com- pounds, water and warmth. Planet and life requirements of light are very elastic. Plants grow and animals thrive on earth where light is a thousandfold less than daylight, and the fall sun is far from being too strong for most of them. Mars Not Wonder. As to Mars, the scientist declares, thorough researches have shown the ptmosphere of that body to contain “‘less than one-fifth the water vapor tound on the summit of Mount Ham- fiton in the coldest, clearest winter aights. The solar radiation received on Mars is only six-tenths of that on the earth, and, with no moisture blanket in the atmosphere to con- serve the heat, Mars' temperature is estimated to approximate 60 pelow zero, Fehrenheit. Telescopic studies reveal no clouds on Mars, Dr. Abbot declares, in stating that he can- not accept the views of those who “claim great things for Mars." It has been shown by other scien- tists, he says, that descriptions of the Martian markings observed by many, differ widely. As widely and contr; dictorily as would be expected of des- sriptions of the moon by persons who had never observed our satellite with- sut a telescope. The Martian polar saps, he believes, may be thin de- posits of hoar frost, or frozen carbonic annual report of the made publie, Dr. Ab- foes not declare Venus rejects the possibility planets holding in- the scientist suns like our own, Sol has his retinue which one, at least, the distant ones populous follow- known, are o1d of degrees |* acid gas. The light on Venus is 1.1 that of the earth; spectroscopic observations of star light and analyses of star ma- terlals fallen upon the earth, show that the stars are composed of exact- Iy the same components as the earth, Therefore, two conditions are fulfiled s, Water vapor and water clouds are responsible for maintaining equable temperatures; the water vapor in carth's atmosphere seem to be respon- sible for maintaining our temperature fully 50 degrees F. of what it would be, if, notwithstanding the ab- sence of clouds, the sun shone no more intensely on the earth., It re- mains to be proved by scientists that moisture conditions essential to life prevail on Venus Cloud Prevents Discovery. The only obstacle to deciding for- ever the habitability of Venus is her ever surrounding envelope of cloud. There has never been absolute proof that the surface of Venus has ever been seen by an earthly observer, the article states. Many observers have claimed to have penetrated to the planet's surface but no decisive proofs have been offered. This fact alone, says Dr. Abbot, seems sufficient to render disputative observations tend- ing to show that the rotation of Venus about its axis is equal to her period of revolution about the sun. Were this a fact, scientists claim, one face of the planet would ever be turned toward the life giving sun, with the result that that half would be constantly in blistering heat, while the other would be in extremest cold. However, Dr. Abbot declares, the high reflecting power of Venus, about 60 per cent, demands apparently the existence of clouds and these clouds can hardly be of other substance than water. If it were a fact that the rotation period of Venus were equal to its period of revolution all the water would be distilled from the hot side to the cold, and these clouds would disappear. Rotation Period. Deciding the period of rotation is at presept dependent upon spectros- copic observations and they are not competent to indicate more than that the period of rotation is large as compared to our day. They are not accurate enough to show that the per- iod of rotation is 225 days, equal to the year of Venus, but it may be anything above ten terrestrial days. As for the reported observation of markings upon the planet, which are said to rotate in 225 days, this ob- servation can only be regarded with the greatest doubtfulness, is Dr. Ab- bot's conclusion. & He notes that spectroscoplc studies by the scientist, St. John, tend to throw doubt on the existence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Venus. His observations have shown few, if any, water lines in the spectrum of the planet. If this were so, and the clouds are not water clouds, habitabil- it yof Venus would be an improbabil- ity, Dr. Abbot says. It is difficult, how- ever, he states, to understand the high reflecting powecr if clouds are (absent. Dr. Abbot, believes, however, that the absence of water lines in the spec- tra of St. John, is the result of the light being reflected from the clouds, back to earth, through such a thin envelope of water vapor as to render invisible the water vapor lines. This possibility coincides both views and further experiments are to be con- ducted this summer to that end. If the clouds on Venus are water clouds then. Dr. Abbot concludes, conditions of temperature and mois- ture on Venus are very similar to those upon this earth and our sister planet lacks no essential to habitabil- IMPORTANT FACTOR Immigration of American or Russian- American Workmen is Proving a Decided Help to Soviet Industry. Moscow, June 29.—Immigration of American or Russia-American work- men is becoming an increasingly im- portant factor in Russian industry. Ludwig Martens, former ‘Soviet Am- bassador to the United States,” who now is in charge of this department in Russia recentiy reported to the Coun- cil of Labor and Defense that over 5,000 of these immigrants have recent- ly arrived. Many others are on the way, including mechanics, agricultural groups and technical experts. The council of labor and defense resolved to support this immigration because it does not burden Russia, but on the contrary lightens the sit- nation as the immigrants bring their own food and tools, FATHER FOUND TWO-YEAR- OLD BOY VERY SICK Was Constipated, Thin, No A;;?gllte, Had Swollen Lips, Stomach ains A hardy woodsman and enthusias- tic fisherman of Maine, teresting record to report “As a boy, thirty-seven year ago, I he- gan to take Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative and Worm Ex- peller.

STORES CLOSED First Wednesday Half Holiday Clerks Today—Bargain Day a Suc- for cess. The half holiday season for the clerks in the stores affiliated with the lccal Chamber of Commerce, began with the closing of the business places this afternoon, and Main street mer- chants report that the first bargain day, held on the morning of each closing day, was a decided success. The idea of the merchants who are members of the Chamber of Com- merce, closing their places of busi- ness for a half day on Wednesday throughout the summer was begun a few years ago and has become a pop- ular practice. Saturday being the big day in the mercantile establishments, its was not thought good policy to close on that day, and Wednesday, be- ing in the middle of the week, and one of the so-called slow days, was chosen as the best day for the move- ment. It has been followed by all the merchants who are members of the Chamber of Commerce and has proved itself to be a decided success from every point of view. On the morning of the days upon which the stores are closed, day is held, and many articles are put up for sale at reduced prices, and the first trial of the movement this morn- ing brought out a large number of bargain seekers. All morning long, the stores reported a rushing busi- ness, and the merchants who ymrmokI in the movement are enthusiastic over the prospects for the coming season. POVERTY REDUCED Prohibition Has Great Effect in Cut- ting Down Number of Poor Fam- illes According to Statistics. New York, June 29.—Prohibition has been a big factor in cutting down poverty in families, according to statistics just issued by the American association for Organizing Family So- cial Work of New York and the Bos- ton Family Welfare Society. In ten of the 17 cities listed, however, there were more families under care during th “dry’ year than in the “wet" year. Mrs. William T. Tilton, chairman of the Boston society, declares that figures in the survey which she con- ducted, prove that there has been a reduction of 85 per cent in cases where drink was a factor in the pov- erty of the families included. “Such good results under partial en- forcement,” she continued ‘‘are signi- ficant of what we may expect when the dry law is properly enforced. They are not just statistics, but they rep- resent human beings made happier by the ahsence of intoxicants from their lives." New York city, according to the figures has shown a reduction of 64 per cent, the vears used being 1917 and 1921. Rochester’s reduction is 81 per cent, Newburgh's 99, St. Louis 94, Chicago §6, Boston 21, Pawtucket 100, Atlantic City 82, ewport, R. 1., 68, Portland, Me., 95, Cleveland 54, La Crosse, Wis,, 91, Portland, Ore, 40 bargain | per cent increase; Hartford, Conn., 93; Washington, D.

NAVY IN AIR MEET Pilots Confident of Winning Pulitzer Prize in Big Detroit Event Sched- uled For October. ‘Washington, June Z§.—Officials of the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics confidently expect na: piiots to win the Pulitzer Trophy and the Curtiss Marine Flying Trophy in the big De- troit aerial meet in October. The navy is making extensive prep- arations. In the Pulitzer race it will have five entries, among which will be the Curt navy racer CR-1, winner of the event last year. This plane holds the world's record for a closed circuit, * The CR-2, ancther entry is a modification and improvement over CR-1. The navy will also enter two Booth racers, BR-1 type, supplied by the Aerial FEngineering corpdration and said to hav a designed speed of 216 miles an hour. The navy also has high hopes for the MB-7 Thomas- Morse monoplane. Ten, and possibly eleven, entries are planned by the navy in the Curtiss Marine Trophy race. These entries will include two T-R types, two T-S types and two Curtis triplanes, one B-T type. Other entries will be an H-A fighter, a Gallaudet D-4 and H-16, and a V-E 9. Navy pilots will be put through in- tensive training during the summer. They will go to Detroit in September and continue training and familiarize themselves with the course. The De- troit races were at first scheduled to take place in September. SURPLU IS CHANGED. Moscow, June 23.-—Foreigners and Russians entering Soviet Russia may bring with them foreign or gold money to the value of 250 gold rubles, but any surplus will be changed by the customs officials at the frontier into Soviet paper money at the of- ficial rate, according to a new order of the commissariat of finance.

The members of the High school course which is being conducted at the Central Junlor High school under the auspices of the Y, W. C. A, will meet as they desire to complete their week as usual, Plans had been made to have the meeting postponed one week because of the holiday on Tues- day. The girls, however, voted to meet as their desire to complete their course as soon as possible and to be able to enter the hospital to train for nurses when their work {s finished. The July meeting of the Business Girls' club will be held on Thursday evening of next week. It will be in the form of a picnic supper to be served at Sunset Rock at 6:80 o'clock. At a meeting of representatives held last evening it was voted to post- pone the fleld day which had been planned. The affair, which will be held under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and the employed girls, will probably be held in September, Outings are held each Thursday evening under the auspices of the Y. W. C.

REAL WOMAN “COP” Indiana Traffic Corner and Makes Good for Newspaperwoman Takes Over An Hour. Terre Haute, Ind.,, June 28.—Mrs. Anna Bowles Wiley, & newspaper woman of this city, proved her abil- ity as a traffic officer the other day when she donned the uniform of the regular officer and controlled the traffic at Seventh street and Wabash avenue, the busiest corner on this city for an hour and a half. Mrs. Wiley, when passing the cor- ner, was struck with the idea that she would like to see for herself what the life of a traffic officer is. She walked to the center of the street, suggested that she relieve him for a time, took his blouse, cap and star, gave him her wrap and hat, and took charge of the corner. Syl Doyle, the officer, stood aside while Mrs. Wiley managed the traf- fic during the busiest hours without any mistakes, accidents or congested conditions. When she had satisfied herself that the traffic officer has no easy job, she returned his blouse, cap and star and left. Crowds gathered on the corners to watch Mrs. Wiley handle the traffic and many motor- ists were seen to drive past the cor- ner several times. WOUNDED MEN MOVED. Herrin, Ill., July 28, (By Associated Press).—Three of the 12 wounded men of last Thursday's mine battle were taken from the hospital early today by a state investigator and put on a train for Springfield. While there were no apparent signs of dem- onstration Mayor Pace and several policemen accompanied the party to the train. Several of the remaining nine wounded here are still in a critical condition. BIRTHS AT HOSPITAL The following births were reported at the New Britain general hospital today: A son to Mr. and Mrs. John A. Lindsay, of 33 Park Terrace; a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Otto Bertz, of 16 Woodland street; a son to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Gustafson, of Bris- tol and a son to Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Weinberg, of 40 Newington avenue. The Weinberg infant died a short time after birth. BABIES Even the littlest tots love Frui-Nui Cereal, and softened with plenty of milk it’s mighty good for them, too.

The number of the defenders is unknown, but it is sald many have deserted since the early days of the occupation. Never- theles it is believed some hundreds are still within and well provisioned against a siege. The determination of the provision- al government to recapture the Four Courts is ascribed entirely to the in. surgents act in sefzing Lieut. Gen. O'Connell, assistant chief of staff of the regular forces and not to Colonial Secretary Churchill's warning in the house of commons. Surrender 1s Demanded The arrangements for the Invest- ment of the insurgents were in charge of Gen. Ennis, the officer command- ing the eastern division. These having been completed, a mesage was sent to the garrison in the Four Courts at 3:30 o'clock demanding the surrender of the buflding within an hour so far as can be learned no reply was returned. Shortly after 4 o'clock an armored car passed up the quay in front of the building and is declared by the free staters to have been fired upon by the garrison. Immedlately an 18 pounder mounted on the armored car sent a shell crashing against the masonry of the Four Courts. There was a fierce reply with rifle fire from within the building. Government Troops Under Fire Almost immediately a continuous exchange of the fire between the two forces was in progress. The premises in north Great George's street occupied by the com- munist party and the I. W. W. as headquarters was fortified after the government attack on the Four Courts had begun and government troops were fired upon from the newly forti- fied building. The royal Dublin society's buildings which had been chosen by the pro- visional government as the meeting place for the new southern parliament next Saturday, have been tightly closed and the gates barred as a pre- caution against any attacks by the irregulars. The fusillade around the Four Courts was punctuated at intervals by the sound of bursting shells and it was ascertained that two 18 pounders were in action. Machine guns were being freely used by both sides. The city was awakened by the din even to the remote suburbs. The first casualty reported was amongst the provisional government troops, Private Long was wounded while on duty in Chancery street. A rumor that Rory O'Connor, the republican insurgent in command had been wounded during the fizhting was in circulation this afternoon. No confirmation was obtainable. High Explosives Used. It was learned during the morning that the official forces were using against the IFour Courts two 18 pounders firing high explosive shells with delayed action fuses, They fired at first from the high ground in the neighborhood of Christ church cathe- dral at a range of 200 yards. By 11:30 o'clock a breach had been made in one wall of the building. The guns later were moved to fresh positions where the advantages of direct fire seemed greater. The attack on the insurgents was preceded by the sending of two ul- timatums to commandant Rory O'Connor. One of these demanded the release of Lieut. Gen. O'Connell assistant chief of staff of the regular forces seized yesterday. The other set a time limit after which an at- tack would be made. Five Casualties Reported. Five casualties among the free state troops had occurred up to 11:30 o'clock. These were men who had been wonded and taken to a hospital for treatment. One woman died of heart failure from excitement brought on by the fighting. ‘Would Give Aid. London, June 28 (By the Associated Press)—It is believed here that the Irish regular forces under Michael Collins are sufficiently strong and well equipped to deal with the situation which has arisen in Dublin. A ma- |jority of their arms including machine guns and artillery have been supplied by the Brittsh government under the terms of the Anglo-Irish treaty. They are manning their own artillery. There are several thousand British troops still in Dublin and it is intimat- ed that, should Collins request aid from this source, troops would be placed at his disposal exactly as was done when the Ulster government de- sired military assistance in putting down the rebellion in the north.
