—Dietz on Science — MARS CAN NOT SUPPORT LIFE, SAVANTS AGREE Experiments Show Planet Has No Oxygen, Is Verdict. BV DAVID DIFTZ Srripp* Howard Science Editor CHICAGO. July 15. atmosphere of the planet Mars does not contain enough oxygen to support life as up know it. This was the verdict pronounced here today by Dr Walter Adams, director of the Mt. Wilson observatory, the world's largest astronomical observatory. For almost a century, ever since Schiaparelli, the Italian astronomer, discovered the so-called canals of Mars, scientists have debated the possibilities of life on Mars. In recent months, when Mars has shone so prominently in the night sky, its ruddy disk contrasting with the brilliant white of nearby Jupiter, the debate took on new interest But with Dr Adams’ pronouncement, most, authorities will agree that the debate is over. Spectroscope Is Used Dr. Adams, one of the world's best known scientists, is here to attend the summer meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, now in session. In an interview, he fold me how he and Dr. Theodore Dunham Jr., one of his associates at Mt. Wilson, carrier! on the study of Mars. Three tilings made the project possible. The first was the 100-inch telescope at Mt, Wilson, the world's largest telescope. The second was a spectroscope recently built at Mt. Wilson for use with the telescope. This new instrument is the world's most powerful stellar spectroscope. The third was anew photographic plate, sensitive, to the invisible rays of infra-red light, developed at the Eastman Kodak research laboratories under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Mees. Vapor Also Is Packing The work at Mt. Wilson has shown definitely that the amount of oxygen, if any, in the atmosphere of Mars is only a fraction of 1 per cent of the amount in the atmosphere of the earth. “It looks as though there were neither carbon dioxide nor water vapor in the atmosphere of Mars, both of which are needed for life as we know it. We are just in the midst of our hunt for the lines of water vapor now, but it doesn't look as though we shall find any.” The simplest spectroscope is a prism. Hold a prism up to the sunlight and it divides the light into a rainbow of colors, a spectroscope furnishes a similar rainbow known as the spectrum. The spectrum, however, is crassed by many black lines which indicate the chemical elements in the sun. Mars shines by reflected sunlight and therefore its spectrum ought to be like that of the sun. Nights Are C old Calculations show, however, that if oxygen, water vapor or carbon dioxide were in the atmosphere of Mars, these gases would absorb certain portions of the sun's light, leaving gaps in its spectrum. These gaps, however, would occur in the infra-red end of the spectrum and therefore could not be sought for successfully until the new photographic plates sensitive to infra-red rays were developed. Studies of temperatures on Mars conducted at, the Mt. Wilson Obversatory add additional evidence to the view that there is no life on Mars, Dr. Adams told me. These studies were made by attaching a delicate electrical thermometer known as the thermocouple to the 100-mch telescope.

Contract Bridge

BY \V. E. M KENNEY’ Secretary American Bridge League ~\\/'HEN playing a hand defonVV sively you must try. by making the proper discards, to convey a picture of your hand to your partner. It generally does not pay to falsecard when on the defense. Os course the declarer may false-card to his heart 's content, as he has no partner to deceive. However, there are times, if you are on your toes, when you can make a beautiful false-card that may be the means of helping you defeat the declarer's contract. Here is a play that came up at a tournament in Chicago some time ago. It was executed by Henry P. Jaeger of Cleveland, past president of the American Bridge League and one of the country's most popular players. Just to show that he had not forgotten the play, Mr. Jaeger duplicated it in the following hand at a recent tournament. Mr. Jaeger was sitting in the East. South was the dealer and opened the bidding with one heart. North, fearing that a bid of one no trump might be too discouraging to partner. overcalled with two clubs. South then showed his second suit by bidding two diamonds. North bid two no trump. South, however, with his singleton spade, did not like the hand for no trump and bid three hearts, and when North learned that his partner had a good five-card heart suit, he carried the contract to four. West had a rather discouraging hand from which to open. It was not much use to lead the fourth best spade as he could not hope to establish a trick in that suit. B B B HE Anally selected the doubleton . club opening and played the she of clubs. Mr. Jaeger won with the ace and immediately returned a small club, which the declarer held with the ten. Declarer now made his proper play the ace of hearts. Mr. Jaeger was quick to recognise an opportunity for Ins old false-card play and quickly followed with the queen of hearts. He knew by the bidding that the declarer must hoid five hearts to the ace king. he realized that If he played the ten, the declarer would try to drop the queen by leading the king. His only chance to defeat the contract was to have the declarer place the ten spot in the West hand. Declarer immediately read that

West held the ten, eight and seven of hearts, so he led the deuce of hearts. When West played the seven, declarer finessed dummy’s nine. Mr. Jaeger won with the ten, returned the nine of clubs. South played the jack, and West trumped the trick with the eight of hearts. West returned a spade a small spade was played from dummy, East won the trick with the queen and returned a diamond. Declarer went up with the ace. and then played a small hearc which he won with dummy's jack. A diamond then was discarded on the king of clubs, but the declarer still had a diamond to lose, and his contract was defeated two tricks. With the club opening, and without the false-card. the declarer would have made five odd. iCopyright. 1933. by NEA Service. Inc.)

FAMINE PERILS CHINA AS GREAT FLOOD NEARS Yellow and Yangtze Rivers Threaten Change in Courses. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scriopn-Howard Forirn Editor WASHINGTON, July 15.—As one of the most catastrophic floods in history threatens China, it is feared that pestilence, famine and political disturbances will follow in its wake. The Yellow river—known for ages as “China's sorrow”—is believed to be on the point of changing its course once more, to empty into | the Yellow sea, 400 miles south of I its presept mouth in the Gulf of Chihli. The Yangtze river—the Mississip!pi of China—likewise is on the rampage, leaving tens of thousands in want. Communism in China The Boxer rebellion largely was the result of the Yellow river's terrible flood of 1898, when many millions were made homeless and destitute. A Chinese version of Communism now is reported to be sweeping many regions of China, partly due to the country’s troubles with Japan and its own war lords, and partly to wholesale misery among the masses. The floods of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers always come in hot weather. Both rise in the mountains of Tibet. During winter, when the upper reaches freeze and snow accumulates in the uplands, I the streams are low. As the snows melt, the level of the waters rises rapidly. Course Is Changed The Hoang-ho, or Yellow' river, is 2,600 miles long. Yet it is not navigable. It is too turbulent, treacherous and shifty. New sand bars form from one day to another. Like the Mississippi, its bed rises higher and higher until far above | the surrounding country. A vast amount of money is needed annually to keep up its levees. About 1,000 years ago the stream apparently emptied into the Yellow I sea. Then it changed, emptying 500 I miles to the north, at Tientsin, | through the mouth of another river, ! the Pei-ho. During a subsequent ! flood, like the present, however, it changed again, back to the Yellow' sea, which it favored until 1852, when it switched again. Bed Giving Away It now flows into the Gulf of Chihli, about 150 miles south of its former outlet, at Tientsin. Today the bed of the erratic ! river is too high to hold it ipuch longer. During some great flood it almost certainly will find itself another course. It may do so now. The provinces through which it flows have a population of nearly 109,000,000. They are for the most part very flat. At various times in the past it has covered almost all the region with sand and mud until some of the areas through w’hich it meanders are amongst the worst famineplagued regions of China.

Conservation Pure Streams the Bunk? Then Well Choose Bunk

BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Times Special Writer BACK to stream pollution for this article, as the news about the nation's effort to rid itself of filthy streams is hot and important. A bulletin issued by the American Game Association describes in part the national activities toward eradicating this curse of modern life. Another letter from Mr. Hurd, prominent sewage disposal engineer, impresses on me that Indiana is not lagging in her efforts, A visit with Chief Engineer Geupel, in the state sanitary department, has convinced me that he carries a wallop for poliutionists that will go a long way toward purifying Indiana streams.

" ........... So that makes a story- I am sure the many letters received that out beyond my window are scores of men and women vitally interested in the old Hoosier state's lakes and streams and that they are ready to act their part in this cleanup. •'End stream pollution,” says Dr. Preston Bradley in the Game Association bulletin. “Make our streams again safe for fish and recreation.” "More than 700 plants to cost in excess of five hundrel million dollars will be built in the United States for sewage treaty treatment.” "Every city on the Wilamette river, on the instigation of Governor Meier, will have a plant to end pollution which threatened the salmon industry.” "Take advantage of an opportunity to clean up your local stream that never may be repeated.” Hurd writes that the plant in Ankola. Ind.. nears competition and that Winchester has her back yard, the upper end of White river, in order. B B tt AN editor and a state senator from Starke oounty. Indiana, called at the statehouse to see what can be done for Knox and the Yellow river. Engineer Geupel shows me the figures for Cedar Creek, the St. Joe. St. Marys and the Maumee rivers, all surrounding Ft. Wayne. Pollution due to human bacteria in these four streams runs from eight thousand to two hundred forty million colon bacillus per cubic centimeter of water. A cubic centimeter is about the volume of two lead pencil erasers. A telegram arrives from a game warden stationed on the Muscatatuck. "Due to canning factory wastes, dead fish are floating two miles belcnv Mt. Sidney bridge. We have a mayor in one of central Indiana's largest cities who ridicules the idea that stream pollution is a menace to health and states that his city will not spend a dollar to save fish, for that is all this monkey business amounts to in the end. san WITH that statement, for the moment permit me to find myself in full agreement and to carry out its tenets to a logical conclusion. I now must be blind to any recreational factor in the life of our boys that has to do with water sports. I'll forget my own boyhood and the urse that made me walk

Fish of Every Description in Lakes and Rivers; Game in Abundance. “Wow! I've got another whop- | per.” This was the theme song of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Diver, 1023 South ! State avenue, who just have rej turned from a fishing trip along the i Peribonka river and Lake Alex at the Indian reserve, Pointe Bleue, : province of Quebec. Streams and lakes teeming with | speckled, brook and lake trout, ! landlock salmon, pike, pickerel, | ouananiche, white fish and musky abound in this region, and they | never have an off day. The Perii bonka river is a big river, about 300 miles long, w'ith hundreds of lakes and tributaries along its course. When one leaves civilization at Lake St. John, he finds a stretch ;of water ninety-five miles long without a portage. There are some rapids on this stretch, but they are navigated easily by the guides, w'ho use poles to push the canoes ahead in the swift waters. In this great stretch of water there is any number of musky, pike, pickerel and trout. The trout are real monsters, one weighing fifty-four pounds being taken from the Manouan river, a tributary of the Peribonka, by a Hudson's Bay Company clerk. This trout is the present record for the district.

ten miles every Saturday to spend the day in my old “ten foot” down on the River Des Peres. The river was just an illusion of my childhood and gave me nothing. Far better had I spent my Saturday hours around the saloon and pool hall run by "Dutch” Koch. That was the only other attraction our small town boasted and there always was plenty of excitement there. When Mother announced on Friday, "Tom. get out Pet's harness and cil it; Duncan, wash the phaeton; Bill, go down to the icehouse tand the ice came off the river in those days) and fetch fifty pounds,” we were certain of a family picnic on the river bank, with home-made ice cream, and swimming and everything. Imagine us going for a picnic on White river now about eight miles below Indianapolis. But that is not necessary now—my mind, is made up that- my youngsters can get more enjoyment and character foundation from a Saturday in town with the radio the movies, or bridge, and wind up out on Park boulevard about midnight on some wild necking party. nan AS for the fish, phooey on the fish* These men who take their boys fishing are a lot of time-wast-ers and are teaching their youngsters indolence and shiftlessness. Men are not made outdoors anyway. The fellow who knows the ropes around town and who can bring in the First ward votes, he's the boy. But the Lord forgive me. I can’t help but think of last Saturday night up on the Tippecanoe. My boy Bill crawled out of his bunk and came over to mine. "Dad, I did swim across the river today, didn't I? Gee. some day I’m going to swim clear down to the dam! I'm not afraid.” And Lee. my oldest, hearing the conversation, joined us in the dark. A glorious moon topped the dark line of trees on the east bank and ghosted across the water. “Will you swim with us. Dad? Let's try it tomorrow.” And two pairs of little arms hugged me tight and two little children thought their Dad was a hero because he consented to help them overcome the Great Hazard. And I went to sleep at peace with the world and its cares, because they were there and I was not waiting up for them to come in from the dance hall out on Hilarity road some time after midnight.

Upper Left—Here we have Weely Simpson. Indian guide, and a .thirty-three and a thirty-eight pound trout. The thirty-three pound fish was taken by Mrs. Diver, and the thirty-eight-pounder is Mr. Diver's record. Upper Center—Mr. Diver with string of small trout. The Indians love these fish and boil them with salt pork, potatoes, and onions. It takes from thirty to forty to make them a mess. Inset—Another view of the thirty-eight pound beauty. Upper Right—Guide with cub black bear. 'This is the little fellow w r ho bit too hard to become a pet. Lower Left—Guide with three Ouananiche, the gamest fish that swims. Diver claims they have the pull of a horse and battle all the way in with a series of leaps that keeps the angler in a sw’eat until they are landed. Low'er Right—lndian guide with trout from three and one-half to eight pounds, and black bear. The guide killed this bear w'ith a .22 rifle as he came to the water's edge for a drink.

For several years this water has I been well supplied with the ouananiche and the Indian guides guarantee a catch of this fish, so marvelous for sport, and as many as j you want. j To take this fish, the tackle must be of the best, most of the anglers jwho go after them returning without lines or tackle, this fish being one of the most powerful known. There are two kinds, the real salmon that reaches a weight of ten i pounds, and the ouananiche, or I fresh-water salmon, that rarely ! passes the five-pound mark, the | average being three pounds. [ The first time out, Mrs. Diver said | today, she caught fifteen trout in ! about as many minutes. One guide ! would remove the fish, immediately ' clean it. and drop it in the frying i pan. Within thirty minutes from , the time they were hooked, the party I was enjoying its first mess of fish. On born sides of the river are

| small streams and lakes where the j j angler has the time of his life catch- j . ing brook, lake, and speckled trout. At the end of the ninety-five miles are three falls, and the fishing at these falls is even better than in j the river. Guides in this region are all InI dians or half-breeds, and expert : canoe men.
