AMATEUR POSITIVE MARS I3 INHABITED Michigan Enthusiast Awaits 1945 Tor Observations Escanaba, Mich., Sept. 8 (UP) —He spends his days selling jewelry in his modest shop but ut night John B.

He visited the University of | Chicago frequently, asking hun- of questions of professors | stronomy, until the acute in- terest he displayed in the subject| led these men to make it possible | for him to obtain a scientific edu- cation in the school. “Every time I got a chance 1 would look through the tglescope.” Novack recalled. “Many .a night T spent in the university's observa- tory when other young fellows were out dancing and having a good time.” Even today he makes frequent visits_ to the famous Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay, Wis. His greatest ambition is to live until 1945, \.when he will be 70 years old, at which time Mars will come within 35,000,000 miles of the arth on its 17-year orbit.q “Of course it's inhabited,” he gaid, speaking of his favorite planet. “Through the tglescopo it has a reddish tinge like' a desert. The network of lines across the face of the planet believed to be canals, are so precisely laid they are obviously tht work of living, highly intelligent creatures. “The Martians hage a dismal fu- ture, however, for their planet- is slowly dying.
