(VOXTIM ED FROM PAGE OXE( Irstory of the world, it is possible to state how fast our solar system is moving through space and exactly in what direction. Previously, it was only possible to measure speed and direction of our solar system with respect to the universe of stars Furthermore since Miller knows the absolute motion of the solar system, it will not be possible to calculate shortly the motions of our entire universe in space. Dr. Miller finds that the speed of our solar system is ten times as great as it previously was thought. The sun, he finds, is moving through space with a speed of 120 mil' s a second Our earth, of course, and all the other planets, are carried along on this same speed. Dr. Miller had originally fixed the speed at 65 miles per second. but last minute calculations led him to increa-e the figure. o- — DRY AGENTS AT WORK IN STATE CAPITAL TODAY « m i im 11.

By Harry W. Frantz I* Staff Col respondent) Arica, Chile, Dec. 29. — (United ’ ress)—The date for return of General John J. Pershing to America is t ot yet set. His health is authoritatively described as “satisfactory,' but his general welfare continues to be a matter of closest scrutiny of his friends here, v ho have frequently commented on the symptoms of physically weariness after the strain of his plebiscite negotiations. It is pointed out that he has planned several times to make a trip northward, but has not found this convenient hitherto, and moreover has not desired that there be any political conclusions drawn from such a journey. Os late he has less and less exercise and this has been reflected in his general condition, especially in view of the fact that he is in advancing years and has hitherto always been accustomed to an active life. Further, it is pointed out that he has long delayed some much needed dental work. His friends have commented that his 'task here has been "as difficult as running ten world wars." and one in which Pershing would reap no personal reward beyond the satisfaction of assisting in adjustment of the long standing controversy over the nationality of Tacna-Arica.

’DISCUS'S IOWA’S farm problem * cage oxe» diverse interests have been advanced that it has been impossible to obtain an agreement on any single plan for handling surplus crops, Cummins said. "We are agreed however, that whatever is done must be done by the farmer and all others interested in agriculjurt- by efforts. Vhen the best brains in business

start to work with the farmer on agriculture's' problems, results may bo assured.” Cummins said ha hoped to secure the enactment of legislation that will give to the farmer the same protection against, the effects of foreign prices and coats that Is now given other industries and labor. Skeptics nt the meeting were considerably relieved when it became known thnt Senator Brookhart also favored a plan similar to the one which Senator Cummins proposes. o- ■...
