MOON IS NOT SOHO Science Learns It Is Composed of Porous Subject. By Science Service PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 11.—Whatever the moon consists of, it is some very porous material similar to volcanic ash on the earth, and not at all like any solid rock of which we know. This was the announcement made by Dr. Paul S. Epstein of the California Institute cf Technology, using data furnished by measurements of the moon’s temperature during a recent lunar eclipse by Dr. S. B. Nicholson and Dr. Edison Pettet of the Mt. Wilson observatory. A mathematical expression of the way the moon cooled when it entered the dark shadow of the earth, and so received no heat from the sun, gave the value of 120. Dr. Epstein made similar measurements in the laboratory of the cooling of various materials. Granite gave a value of sixteen, which meant that it cooled more slowly. Basalt gave twenty-four, and quartz sand fifty-eight. Pumice stone, however, gave values of between 100 and 150. As pumice is of volcanic origin, this appears to be new evidence in favor of past volcanic action on the moon, which may have formed the craters.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BUSINESS MEN CRITICS FLAYED BY TARKINGTON Novelist- Takes Mencken and Cohorts to Task; Cites Dickens. By Times Special 1 NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The American business man is not the straw dummy bearing the label “Rotarian” that H. L. Mencken and others qf the “intelligentzia” have flayed mercilessly. He Is, on the contrary, the force behind the tremendous growth of the country, responsible for the present era of prosperity. This is the way Booth Tarkington, noted novelist, views him, writing in the current issue of World’s Work. Cites Dickens’ Error Charles Dickens made the same mistake as Mencken and his cohorts, Mr. Tarkington asserts, in “Martin Chuzzlewit,” published in the ’4o’s, which was greatly resented here for its attack on the American business man of the period. “Nowadays such an attack, modernized, upon American culture, patriotism and business ethics would rouse little feeling among readers and probably would be highly approved by most of the book reviewers and by the more sophisticated literary people generally,” the novelist continues. “The business man has not benafitted by the criticisms, the „.iaftj have not reached him; indeed, he is too busy to be more than vaguely aware of them. He has grown and improved with the growth and improvement of the cities he builds and loved so passionately; for their growth and imnrovement, indeed, is but the projection of his own. He has improved himself not because of the criticisms of the sophisticates but because of his own immense ambition, his observation of his own experience, the ever increasing energy of his imagination, and that passion of his for the enlarging ahd bettering of everything —his business, his city and his country.” Shooting at Themselves Mr. Tarkington’s World’s Work article maintains that the reason the satirists’ shafts have failed to reach home is “because the mark at which they are shot exists principally in the archers’ imagination. “To change the figure, the sophisticated satirists have made a man of straw and Booster’s phrases and put the label ‘Rotarian’ ur>on it; then, assaulting it, they believe the onslaught to be upon something actual, the American business man. “They held this belief because their annoyance with sporadic cases of blatant ‘go-getterism’ _ has interfered with accuracy of observation; their condition is like that of a man who, disturbed by a rooster’s crowing, swears that all eggs are bad.” Hoosiers to Mardi Gras By Times Special MADISON, Ind., Jan. 11.—Perry’s Footwarmers, local dance band, will play at this year’s Mari Gras in New Orleans, La., for the fifth consecutive season.

STEWART PLANS ‘FINISH BATTLE’ FOR JL POST Masses Forces to Oppose John D. Jr. in Ouster Move. BY JAMES K. MARTINDALE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—Colonel Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, is preparing to wage a “finish against the move of John D. Rockefeller Jr. to bring about the election of anew head for the Indiana company. Following closely upon Rockefeller’s letter to stockholders asking their support in electing anew directorial chairman, the United Press learned today that Colonel Stewart, several days ago, announced he was gathering his support for re-election at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held at Whiting, Ind., March 7. The rumor that Stewart had gaineu. control of 51 per cent of the stock, was denied today by persons close to the company. Stewart’s friends here expressed the opinion that he had been gaining strength in his organization as rapidly as has Rockefeller. They pointed out the fact that since Stewart became chairman of the board in 1918 he has perfected an organization of officers trained by him. They predicted they would remain loyal. Stewart came to the Standard as an attorney in 1907 from Pierre, S. D., under the presidency of W. T. Cowan. Four years after the supreme court decree dissolved tl\e Standard companies, Stewart became general counsel for Standard of Indiana, and was placed on the board, rising to the chairmanship in 1918. It was learned on reliable authority that Stewart stated to a meeting of division managers, ten days ago, that he was a candidate for re-elec-tion to the board as well as to the office of chairman of the board. Stewart further was quoted as
