• —Dietz on Science — FAME WON IN MANY BRANCHES OF ASTRONOMY Telescope Sometimes Is ‘Unknown’ Instrument in Space Study. BY DAVID DIF.T7. **rlpe'-Hnrd Seienr. fditnr A corrr"poncknt asks, ' Who is the worlds most famous astronomer?” and bids me answer soon. But for two reasons I shall refuse One ia the purely selfish reason that I am fortunate enough to number some of the worlds best known astronomers among my friends and I shall do nothing to risk such pleasant friendships. The other reason is that I do not know how- to evaluate different types of work. To the layman, the word ' astronomer" is an all-inclusive word, like for example, the words ' newspaper man.” But one newspaper man may be an executive, a second a reporter, a third a play critic, each one doing a type of work entirely different from that of the others. So it is with astronomers. One astronomer wins fame as a designer of instruments. A second is a great observer, spending most of his time at the eyepiece of a teiescope A third may never go near a telescope. Never Sees Telescope I remember one occasion on which a famous astronomer told me that it was more than a year since he had looked through a telescope. He was spending all his time studying photographs of the sun's spectrum with the aid of a measuring miscroacope Certain astronomers are famous because, of their mathematical genius. They spend their time analyzing and interpreting the observations which other astronomers make. Dr. George Ellery Hale, honorary director of the Ms. Wilson observatory, is one of the great inventive geniuses of the world of astronomy. Solar research entered upon anew phase as a result of the new instruments which he designed. Hale invented the spectroheliograph. the instrument which made It possible to photograph the sun's upper atmosphere and the great solar prominences, the great fiery streamers of gas -which rise from the sun's atmosphere. Sun's Spots Revealed The instrument also revealed details of sun spots which had never been photographed previously. Hale is a great observer as well as an instrument designer. Among his important discoveries is the fact that sun spots ar great whirlpools in the surface of the sun which act as huge magnets, setting up powerful magnetic fields An entirely different type of astronomer is Dr. E W. Brown of Yale university. Brown spent forty years of his life working on a mathematical problem, the problem of writing a series of equations which would adequately explain all the irregularities in the moon's motions and make it possible to predict with accuracy the position of the moon at future dates. Authority on Cosmogony Brown's lunar ‘ time-table” is one of the great classics of this sort of work. Dr. Henry Norris Russell of Princeton is sometimes spoken of as the ' dean of American astronomers ’ His chief field of work has been the development of theories to account for the erolution of stars. The astronomer who is probably most in the public eye at the present moment is Sir James Jeans. Jeans is known to the public as the author of a number of very readable books upon astronomy, the bes* one of which, to this writer’s way of thinking, being "The Universe Around Us " But Sir James is known to the world of astronomy as one of the chief authorities upon the subject of cosmogony.

REICHSTAG FIRE TRIAL STARTED Death Penalty Asked for Five Men Before Leipzig Court. H’l t'nitrfl prtm LEIPZIG. Germany. Sept 21. Five men. four known Communists, went on trial for their lues today on the charge that they burned the German Reichstag building in Berlin. Because of Nazi claims that Communists planned to attend the trial and try to foment disorders, the grim supreme court building was guarded by police and Nazi storm troopers in uniform and civilian clothes. Admission was by card only. The defendants, charged with

burning the parliament building on the night of Feb 27, are: Ernst Torgler. 40. one-time Communist whip in the reichstag: Marinus Van Der Lubbe, 24. Dutch stone mason: George Dimitroff, 51, writer; Wassil Taneff. 36, shoemaker, and Biagoi Popoff. student. Anti-Nazi forces throughout Europe. watching the trial with cynical scorn, contended that—as charged in the mock trial by an international commission of lawyers at London—the Nazis themselves conspired to burn the building in order to discredit Communists and thereby win the power which they hold today.

Failure of the prosecuting witness to appear in municipal court saved Harry Woods. 23, of 613 West Henry street, from a thirty-day jail sentence Wednesday.

Riley said he found Woods at Chadwick and McCarty streets, where he was wiping blood from the wound. He was fined Si and costs on intoxication charges by Judge Dewey Myers, a thirty-day jail sentence being suspended.

Snes need you/ O ONE has to tell you that mental distress L si and nervous strain, overwork, colds, the ‘flu,” sickness or a deficient diet weaken the body. You can jeel it. Now medical science attributes that tired-vorn-out-let-down feeling to deficient hemo-glo->in (skin and tissue purifier) in the blood —so lecessary for carrying the vital oxygen from the ungs to all parts of the body —even to the skin—,nd in throwing off body poisons. Even a sufficient and well balanced diet cannot •roperly nourish the body, unless the blood conains sufficient hemo-glo-bin. Today tens of thousands take a course of S.S.S. Tonic once or twice a year to regain lost strength, estore the appetite and to clear up the skin. Take S.S.S. just before meals. No need to hange your diet .. . S.S.S. will not interfere nth any other medicine you may be taking, ’oil will be happy with the beneficial results ohained. Start taking it today. At all drug stores l two convenient sizes.
