YAF ASTRONONER NANS BENEFACTOR Dr. E W. Brown Produced Mathematical Calculations New Haven, Conn., Nov. 13 (P—A small, white-walled room in the ob- servatory atop the highest hill on Yale's campus 18 the office of a man whose work affects the daily wel- fare of nearly as many persons as that of a Ford, a Durant or a Rocke- | feller, yet who is almost unknown | outside his own professional circle. | He s Dr. Ernest William Brown, new president of the American As- tronomical association and Sterling professor of mathematics at Yale. On a shelf in his office stands a book aimost as thick as a dictionary, Dr. Brown's “Yale Tables of the Moon's Motion.” years of mathematical calculations to produce. Irom this book and from computations of 4 small group of Dr. Brown's fellow mathe- maticians are derived tables used by navigators to insure safety of life and merchandisc carried on the seven seas. the Royal Society of England. The chief object in these labori- ous computations on the moon's or- bit was to discover whether the at- tractions of the sun and all other known bodics in the solar system can account completely for the moon's motion. Many times in the past it has been suspected that this attraction was not sufficient. Othcr forces have been invoked to account for standing cffects, such as electrical attractions and repulsions and mag- netic effects. But Professor Brown showed conclusively that the motion can be accounted for completely by gravitation. Such calculations, associates, say Dr. Brown's must be made, like poetry, when a man is in the mood. | “The Yale mathematician does much of his creative work in his study ot home and on his farm. This farm is like few others. It is a small, colonial place, near Salem, Conn., 150 years old, kept and beautified by Dr. Brown's own hands. Four full months each sum- mer he spends there alone, for he 1s a bachelor—raising his own vegeta ble garden_ refusing to have even a telephone to intrude. There, when he pleases, he does profound re- search. At Yale his interests panionships are widespread, He travels about in one of the best known old curs on the campus. Oae vorite recreation of his is reading etective !lorlr’fi n he can put his as- observations into vivid words. “Well, boys.” he said to newspapermen after a total eclipse “the celestrial express was three seconds late.” Several divines took him to task for what they said was daring'to auestion the plans of providence Rut none disputed his figures.

Marshall Smith, 33, negro, of 13 Stratford avenue, driver cf the auio- | mobile, was placed under arrest | charged with causing the loss of a | |life by the careless operation of a | motor vehicle. He was held at the third precinct police station under a bond of $1,000 and released later | in the evening when the bond was furnished. 1t was raining hard at the time of the accident and Smith told the po- lice authorities he was going north | on Howard avenue and did not see Carpenter nor know there was any- { body on the road until he felt a jar and heard a thud. Smith stopped his |auto and Carpenter was picked up in an unconscious condition and placed in the machine. ‘HOOVER MARKET TIRES EXCHANGE!

To date, however, this move seems to have had little effect, and there have been few liquidations of weakened marginal accounts. i Many specialists on the floor have | refused stop orders, that is to ac- | cept a range within which they would be authorized to operate for their clients. They have complained that it is physically impossible for them to watch such orders in this kind of a market. New high speed printers, capable of handling three times the present | volume by printing 1,000 characters a minute are being manufactured to cord sales. but this service cannot possibly start operation for some time.
