London. Eng.. Sept. 22.—Telling i the time to the world. ’That Is i the job of the famous observatory at Greenwich. England, where i “Greenwich time" has become a horological trade mark. And | Greenwich takes its duties very ; seriously since to scientists it is i ' the prime meridian, thereby being ' better known as Longitude 0. Modern miracles of science are casually accepted today, but there is still a tremendous amount of curiosity about the difference in [time In various parts of The world, i There is a very definite reason [ why the local time of New York [C ty Is four hours and fifty-six minutes slower than what is known as Greenwich Mean Time. And Mean Time is reckoned by, ■ ♦he mean sun which is arrived at I on a basis of a perfect equality in the duration of days. That mysterious imaginary line which extends over the earth's surface between the North and South poles has ever been a symi bolos fascination to people who want to know how it has been arrived at and who wonder just where the earth's surface begins and end-. This wan decided at the International Meridian Congress in I'BB4 when scientists from all over the world decided that the i meridian of Greenwich, should be; NEW OKLAHOMA ” GRAIN GROWS IN DRY WEATHER “Grohoma,” Cross Between Kafir Corn and Ribbon Cane, Is Produced Oklahoma City. Sept 22—tl'P)—| I A strange grain I now'll a.i grohoma ' a cross between kafir corn and riuHon cane may revolutionize, farming in middleweslern agricultural sections often affected by droughts. So successfully has Fred Gross a farmer living near here raised grohoma the past five years that the U. S department of agriculture ; is now malting an intensive studv [ of the crop with a view of determining its real value. Gross srid the “cross grain" has not reverted and that when other tai ni crops wet'e ruined in Oklaao-1 ma this year because of the pro-, longed drought grohoma continued growing and made an excellent yield. Grohoma is a 90-day crop lias deep roots and yields from 109, bushels an acre during a dry season to more than 200 during a favorable year. Gross has harvested two crops, 1 one early and the other late the past two years, he told state agriculture department of|icfals. When the stalk is cut another crop grows. Grohoma is sensitive to frost bu' [thrives in parched soil, j Tests made by the state agriculture department showed that groI homa containeu 12.33 per cent protine, a greater amount than Indian corn, kafir, oats or wheat; 3.8 percent fat greater than any of the oth-1 er g ains; 70.24 per cent nitrogen I tree extract and but 2.5 per cent fiber, which is less than most other grains. A large flour mill recently tested [ the ripe grain and announced it [ suitable for flour making. Samples will be milled this fall. Grohoma also is saiil to contain

taken as the prime meridian, anil that place therefore became Longitude 0. Using this line as a starting po'nt, twenty-four standard meridians differing from it by fifte -n degrees of longitude, east and west, were marked off on the globe, and Longitude 0 or Greenwich be< ame the time factory for the world. A glance at the map will reveal that New York City is seventyfour degrees west and on the basis of fifteen degrees to an hour, the metropol s of the western henif- [ sphere is almost five hours slower than Greenwich. Recently the Royal Observatory at Greenwich commemorated the completion 0f'250 years of service with the old observatory, built in 1672, still in use. This is now’ known as Flamstead House, named in honor of the man who was appointed the First Astronomer Roval eight years later, and it to<iav is the main building of the observatory. Visitors from al! parts of the globe make their way to the observatory when in England. Their vur'osity to c ee how t'me is computed and the wonderful instruments' used for that purpose ‘is hared by King George of England, who recently expressed a desire to make a thorough and comprehen-' sugar and may be utilized for making molasses or refining sSgar. Gross has not always been interested in producing a better grain crop. When he lived on a farm in Vermont years ago he bet ame dissatisfied and joined the navy. He fought in the Spanish-Am *rican war and in the World war he was a gunner in the navy. Gross moved to Oklahoma about | seven, years and bought a farm Dry -easons ruined his crops, lie; reasoned C.at sugar cane was a| nicy annual plant and figured that’ ! Kafir corn would .grow better if it; | had more water. Gross grafted var- i l ions grades of cane and gafir. The outstanding development wa ’ | [ i < ross between ribbon cane and I Kafir which lie called “grohoma”, [ ising the first part of his name and] [the last half of Oklahoma. For five ysars he raised the crop. [ I This season when his kafir corn [ ! failed to yield and his corn crop I was burned to a crisp by the ho' ; I winds his grohoma continued to ( i grow. “I grew tired of starving to death [ so I did a little relief work of njy i own.” said Gross in discussing his [ unusual crop. o Unusual Ceremony St. I ouis.

He i was particularly interested in tlie [ transit c'rcle, which consists of a 1 telescope facing due south, and ex-; actly aligned with the imaginary line of Longitude 0. This mythical line has a material .symbol in the form of a [ fragment of spider webbing and , I inch in length. By the passing of the star- across this well-nigh invisible thread in Greenwich mean [ time computed. Visitors to the observatory are always anxious to i gaze through the telescope in order to be in th" novel position I of being half in the eastern and ! half in the western hemisphere. Another interesting exhibit is I the galvano-magnetic clock which | is placed at the gate of the obser- [ vatory and records the time of day in Izmgitude 0. All twenty-four j lv p’ s are designated. And all vimtor- find their way to the tablet which marks the exact ; habitat o f Longitude 0. The wonderful instruments used by the astronomers are kept under sealed . cases not only to prevent handling [ but to insure the instruments he- 1 ! ing kept in an even, unvarying , temperature. The sidereal clock i never varies more than the fiftieth nart of a second in recording the exact time of day that sets the I - pace for the world. ”COURT HOUSE The case of state vs. Finley Kelley, charged with operation of i a motor vehicle -while intoxicated, [ was continued on motion of <l4- [ Cendant.
