WEATHER SEEN

AS HARVEST AID

Tomatoes and Cucumbers, However, Are Killed In Michigan.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (U P.). —The Department of Agriculture reported today in its weekly weather, and crop bulletin for the week ended Sept. 22 that fair and cool weather had been very favorable for fall harvesting operations. The Bureau said that in many southern states vegetables and pastures | had shown great improvement, while extremely warm, dry conditions in the Northwest were favorable for late harvesting. Slight damage to late garden truck and potatoes was reported in Narth Dakota and Minnesota. Tomatoes and cucumbers were reported killed in parts of Michigan. The! Bureau said that absence of general rains in the central and western winter wheat belt had seriously delayed preparation of seed heds with unfavorable ground So os in most areas from Missouri and Iowa northwestward. The condition of livestock continued good. The bulletin added that the. winter wheat outlook is “highly unfavorgble” in states north of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and westward to the Rockies.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—The Mooney-Billings case will become a national issue once more in December when a Senate committee begins hearings on the Murray-O’Connell resolwtion asking Governor Merriam of California to grant Tom Mooney ' a pardon “immediately.” It will be the first Congressional action toward intervention in the fight to free the two laborites, now

serving their 21st year in California prisons on murder convictions growing out of the bombing of a 1916 Preparedness Day parade in San San Francisco. i] 5 Senator O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), chairman of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee named to consider the resolution, says that unless a special session of Congress intervenes the hearings will begin ‘on | Dec. 15. Sponsors of the resolution plan to call many witnesses to tell the committee that Mooney and Billings were the victims of framed evidence and perjured testimony.

WPA’s Enigma

“I've had him long enough. You take him now,” said the man who disappeared immediately after he pushed this attractive 2-year-old boy through the pay window at WPA headquarters in Providence, R. I. Despite bribes of candy and ‘toys, the boy was unable to provide a clue to his identity.

SINGING BOXER AND HERESS REUNITED

Doyle Says He'll Wed and ~ Hopes to Fight Louis.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 23 (U. P.) — Jack Doyle, crooner, boxer and} patron of the night clubs, was reunited today with Mrs. Delphine Dodge Godde, blond automobile heiress, and they both informed their friends that all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, they were going to be married.

Officially, Jim m y McElveen, Doyle’s manager, announced that the marriage would take place in a month. He said the couple would leave here next Tuesday by airplane for New York to take the Ile De France Wednesday for Europe. “Jack will get his divorce in London while Mrs. Godde will get hers in Paris,” McElveen said. “Then they’ll be married in Paris.” There was more. He said that Doyle had changed his mind about retiring from the prize ring which he decided a month ago was “too brutal.” | Doyle, McElveen said, “hopes” to meet the heavyweight champion, Joe Louis, in London, and not socially. “Jack's a great drawing card in

them,” the manager said. Mrs. Godde met Doyle upon his arrival from Reno yesterday. Tuesday, she had left Reno in company with her stepfather and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Dillman, who were said to have insisted on her leaving both Doyle and the divorce colony behind and accompanying them on a world tour. Reno lawyers announced that the romance was finished.

Between Piscis Austrinus and some of the stars of Pegasus is Aquarius, the water carrier, while below Pisces is Cetus, the whale, making rather a strange assemblage of aquatic creatures. Nor are they all, for Capricornus, nearby, is a monster with the head and shoulders of a goat and the tail of a fish, if we are to believe the way he is pictured on the old star maps, dating back to ancient times. ” » » 7’ EXT to Pegasus to the west is Cygnus, the swan, which forms a cross in the sky, the brilliant Deneb at the top. High in the southwest is Aguila, the eagle, with another first magnitude star called Altair. Near it, on either side, are two fainter stars, Alschain to the left and Tarazed to the right. A little higher than Aquila, and farther north, is Lyra, the lyre. This contains the brightest star now to be seen, Vega.

Besides Vega, Altair, Fomalhaut and Deneb, two other first magnitude stars are indicated in the maps, low in the northeast. One is Aldebaran, in Taurus, the bull; the other Capella, in Auriga, the charioteer. Aldebaran is distinctly red in color, while Capella is usually described as having a creamy-white hue. : In looking at Capella and Aldebaran, we are reminded that winter is but a few months off, for these are two of the brilliant as-

Dims Radium Queen Crown for

Woman by Assay of Mine Ore

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23 (U. P.).—Walter W. Bradley, state mineralogist, today announced after an official assay that he had found “nothing more than dirt cheap iron oxide” in ore samples from Mrs. Josie Bishop's Red Rock Canyon mine, supposedly the richest radium

mine in the world. “Our laboratory tested samples of Mrs. Bishop's ore,” Mr. Bradley said. “There wasn’t any radium in them. Nor was there any gold, helium or silver. We found only a scrap of plain iron oxide.” Mrs. Bishop's mine is located between the Mojave Desert and Owen Lake. A veteran prospector, Mrs. Bishop believed the land she was prospecting contained radium. She sent a sample to the Curie Institute in Paris for assay. The institute reported the ore was rich in pitchblende and contained the highest radium content of any deposit known in the world.

Later, it was reported helium and

op’s property. If estimates of the amount of ore on her property were accurate,. Mrs. Bishop probably would become the richest woman in the ‘world. : “Our laboratory had five or six samples of Mrs. Bishop's ore,” Mr. Bradley said. “They shouldn’t all have been blanks if there was anything to find.” He said there was a possibility that _he assayed the wrong samples.

up a few hours later we can get a preview of the evening skies of November. It will be a correct preview, as far as the stars are concerned. Saturn, however, moves so slowly that its motion against the starry background will not be appreciable. i 2 . TH————

s 2 | F you want to look still farther into the future, and see the stars as they will appear jon the evenings of December, it jis only necessary to examine the October skies at 2 a. m. At 4 a. m. this month, you can see them for next January. In other words, each month the stars appear just two hours earlier than they did on the same date the preceding month. This comes from. the way the earth .moves. The sun dpes not rise, move across the sky each day from east to west, and set! It is the earth that moves, from west to east. As we are carried around on its surface, not conséious of its motion, the sky seems to turn in the opposite direction. | Thé western horizon is constantly climbing, the eastern descending, so it would be more correct to speak of ‘earth-rise” and “earth-set” than of| sunset and sunrise. This also makes the stars come into view, apparently move -across the sky, and disappear in the west. Thus, during the course of the 24 hours every star that we ever see is above our horizon, though the ones that are in the sky at the same time as the sun are invisible by reason of its glare. 1 (Copyright, 1937. by Science
