SAY MARS HAS SAME SEASONS AS WORLD, L BUT TWICE AS LONG

r (By Associated Press) -. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., July 14. Members of the staff of Lowell Observe "- tory here are elated over recent studies of the planet Mars which.

they assert, bear out the theories of J , the late Percival Lowell, founder of - the observatory, as to snowfall and vegetation on the little red planet. Mars, nearest neighbor of this world " with the exception of Venus, is closer to the earth now than at any time In '. -18.. years. . Observations have been in progress' for the past five month3 each hour of every night that weather conditions would permit, hundreds of 5 photographs-and charts have been made. I ; The seasons on Mars have the I same significance as on our earth and i j occur in the same manner, but are : about twice . the length of our own.

,, according to Doctors E. C. and v , M. Slipher of the observatory staff. A ; statement by them on the results of the latest observations here follows: J ""Winter has been occurring in the j " southern hemisphere of the planet m Mars and the extensive dark areas ij there are now faint and have been so 5 ! for some time, betokening " the dead ll season of vegetation in conformity I' with the view held by Lowell regard1 1 ing the seasonable changes on the ; planet. t i See Mantle of Snow - "t ? "The large - winter cap of. white J ; about the south pole of Mars, which ; ; -for some months has appeared to conm sist of only mist or clouds covering ; the south polar regions of the planet J down to latitude 40 degrees. Is now j dissipating and disclosing a mantle ji of snow beneath. The spring season for the southern hemisphere, is now approaching, the season there at pres- " ent corresponding to our March 21, , and these changes are characteristic S of late winter over the south of Mars.

' "In the northern hemisphere au- ' tumn is arriving and the polar cap ; there has already become conspicious, having increased rapidly during the X ' last few Martian nights. On the'night : of June 17 it was observed that when the planet's longitude 265 came Into ; ; Martian sunrise, and therefore visi1 1 ble to us, that a vast area there had ". during the preceding night been covj ' ered by a bright canopy. This bright ; hood faded off toward the equator J; but was discernible down nearly to j ; fifty degrees north latitude and veiled the darker markings of the northern ; part of the planet. This event mark- , j ed the first really big autumn storm ; in the northern hemisphere of Mars so far this year. On that date the Martian season corresponded to our l September 18. Early indications of jj autumn made their appearance a I j month and a half ago at a Martian ; ; season corresponding to our late Aug- ; j ust. These observations have been ; ; recorded on photographs. ; "These conditions and changes oc- ; curring in unison with the planet's ; seasons indicate that conditions are I more analagous to those of the earth ; ; than to any of the other planets." !

CHEN (By Associated Press) ' CANTON (Via Steamer to Hong Kong), July 14.

Police remained on duty at the House of the Good Shepherd, a girls' detention home, today, to prevent a recurrence I of the break for liberty which resulted in 14 of the inmates gaining temporary freedom yesterday. Other officers and officials of the juvenile court started an investigation to determine the cause of the uprising which threatened before police reinforcements arrived to result in scores of escapes. The institution; presided over by Sister St. Frances Xavier, usually is unguarded and when the girl inmates, ranging in age from 16 to 19 years, made their break for liberty only a 14foot wall stood in their way. Some of them scaled the wall and fled through the street and alleys before police arrived and forced them into the buildings. A fight with the officers ensued in which some of the blue coats sustained scratches, lacerated shins and bites. To add to the confusion, water faucets were opened by the rebelious inmates and the first two floors of the building were flooded, while many windows were broken. The sister superior announced she had been unable to find out the complaint of her charges, but believed the trouble was incited as a protest against the recent transfer of a sister who had been directly in charge of the inmates and to whom they had become attached. Two of the girls believed to have been the leaders of the revolt were transferred last night to the women's detention home for investigation. x Weeks Shows Savings In War Department (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 14.

King Boris Has Trouble Finding Suitable Wife (By Associated Prss) SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 14. Despairing of finding an American wife for King Boris, Premier Stamboulisky is understood to have asked David Lloyd George to supgest a suitable English mate for the lonely monarch. To this the British prime minister is said to have replied humorously that he had not yet been able to find a wife for the Prince of Wales and that Boris would have to wait, as the supply of royal princesses and other title ladies in Europe seemed to be depleted. ' When the correspondent asked the King about his reported desire to marry, he said laughingly: "If you believe what soma of our neighbors say, my throne is rather insecure and might not support two." Asked if he desired to wed an American girl as suggested by Stamboulisky he replied: "Well not this year, nor next, I'm too busy rebuilding my country and must deny myself all social pleasures and some domestic happiness, but I have great admiration for the American women and I'm sure they make excellent wifes." To the question would you prefer a pretty woman rather than a practical one, the ruler with a twinkle in his eye made the diplomatic response: "Well all American girls are prettv, are they not?"

PHYSICAL CARE OF CHILDREN IN LOCAL SCHOOLS COST $2,320 Total cost of physical care of Richmond public school children during

e,onCh001yerendin JunC ""VT-rational Bankers and Oil men. That $2 320 accordinK to the report of thehls rturn wa9 sudaenly held up Is

school nurses. Miss Virginia Jones and Miss Katherine Daub, made at the meeting of the board of directors of the Social Service bureau at the Y. M. C. Friday noon. Of this amount $1,420 was defrayed by the-Social Service bureau and the remainder paid by the city school board. The detailed statistical report of the nurses follows: "As will be seen by this report, the work of the nurses ipcluded assisting the medical Inspector in the physical examination of children, visiting the children's parents to secure thir' co operation in remedying defects, secur ing the correction of physical defects through private physicians, clinics or hospital care; teaching of health and hygiene to school children by means of lectures, plays and stories; supervision of the serving of milk lunches to underweight children and weighing such children at regular intervals during the school year. Find Skin Disease "During September of 1921, before the annual physical examination took place ,a skin disease was very prevalent in the schools. A great deal of the time of the two nurses was epent procuring the proper treatment for 'these cases and seeing that they entered school as soon as advisable. "In October, 1921, the annual physical examination of children was begun with Miss Daub assisting Dr. King, and Miss Jones assisting Dr. Gentle. The nurses were present when the doctpr made his examination of the heart, lungs, teeth and throat. etc , and recorded the results on the health card.i The nurses them gave i the vision and hearing tests to each child and weighed and measured each one. "A total of 2,263 children were examined by the doctor, and 2,791 were given the vision and hearing test and weighed and measured by the nurses. Records of the results were kept by the nurses for future reference. A notice made out by the nurses and signed by the physician, was sent to the parents of each child, whose defects, the physician thought, needed attention. Children Examined "Of the 2,263 children examined, 1,735 were found to have enlarged tonsils, 1,487 had defective teeth, and 26 had some form of heart disease.' Seven hundred and twenty-four children were referred to dentist, 247 to occulist and 1,260 to doctors for further advice and treatment. "After the examinations were completed the follow-up work was begun. This included visits to the heme to gain the co-operation of the paients in correcting the physical defects of their children, also helping to secure the correction of defects through clinics, private physicians or hospital. "During the school year 885 home visits were made in this connection. As results of these visits the parents promised to have the defects of the children corrected in 132 cases. In 64 cases defects had already been corrected after notices had been received from the school physician. The parents of 118 children were found to be financially unable to correct the defects. Work of Nurses Through the efforts of the nurses, arrangements were made by which 35 of these children had their tonsils and adenoids removed and 12 children whose vision was defective were fitted with glasses, and treatments were prothe sor-i-,! s.nrtn. h..rnn Th children whose physical condition hindered their school work were taken to doctors for examination and necessary correction. The value of medical aid, surgical care secured by the nurses is estimated at $1700. Fifteen children who were diagnosed as tubercular suspects by school physician attended the tubercular clinic for examination and advice. Four of these were taken to the hospital for tonsil operation, upon advice of physician in charge of clinic, five school children were treated at the venereal disease clinic. One chfld received hospital care through the efforts of the nurses. Three emergency cases in the schools were taken care of by the nurses. Parents Are Interested. "In connection with the folow-up work much more interest on the part of the parents was noticed for the school year just closed, than in the year proceding. Many parents expressed their gratitude for the interest that was taken by tha nurse and asked I them to call again. In very few cases did the parents refuse to co-operate. We feel that parents are learning more and more the value of prevention of disease. "A puppet health play, a play for the purpose of teaching children good food habits was given in all the grade schools, a total of 23 times. . Several talks on hygiene subjects were given to groups who were especially in need of such. During an epidemic of pediculosis in Whitewater school every child was examined and 17 were excluded. Visits were made to the homes of these children, to instruct the mothers as to their care. In one case, after repeated efforts had been made to rid the head of vermin, the child was brought to the Social Service Bureau office, her head treated and her hair bobbed. Clean Up Children. "Five children were given baths and clean clothing by the nurses at the bureau office and sent to school much changed in appearance. As a result of the measuring and weighing of the school children, 407 children were found to be 10 per cent or more underweight. Milk lunches were offered to these children. Any child whose parents could pay for the milk was privileged to take the milk. Milk was furnished for those underweight children whose parents could not afford it, by the Wayne County Tuberculosis committee. Each child was given a half pint of milk, in midmorning and again in the afternoon. Special effort was made to get everv underweight child to take the milk. These children were weighed by the nurses each month. Three thousand five hundred and seventy-seven half pints of milk were served to the children in the seven grade schools. Total Milk Cost Parents were very anxious in many cases to procure milk for their children even though they were not under - weight. Total cost of mtlk was

RETENTION OF DOLAN, COUNTY AGENT, TO BE DISCUSSED SATURDAY A general mesting of farm bureau members will be held Saturday even ing at the courthouse, which will be attended by State County Agent Leader Tom Coleman, to decide on their attitude toward the retention of County Agent Dolan. The Thursday meeting of as many farm bureau directors as could be reached on short notice, renewed the pledge formerly made of approval of the work of J. L. Dolan as county agent and their recommendation for his re-appointment. Another delegation representing Washington township and chosen after a meeting Wednesday night in which Dolan's re- ! election was discussed and emphatically approved, also arrived at the courthouse and after presenting their arguments to the county supenntendent, took part in the deliberations. The county board of education, com posed Drincinallv of trustees of the!

This reported stand of the board ! of education came as a surprise to the I farm bureau officials. ! Information of opposition to Dolan's reappointment was obtained by farm Dureau officials when County Superintendent C. O. Williams called upon ymn( Fa.rt aiter he ad found 'County President Everett Hunt abj6ent) wlth a prOp0sition for a com. promise between the farm bureau and the factions which Mr. Williams claimed are opposing Dolan. Call County Meeting Mr. Farst communicated Mr. Williams statements to Mr. Hunt and j after a conference, they decided to call a county meeting. Mr. Williams told Mr. Farst that the Richmond Kiwanis. Rotary and Ministerial associa-i tions or members of those associations, had' expressed disapproval of Mr. Dolan, and that influential citizens of Richmond were in favor of a change in the county agent office. In view of these statements, and of the irreconcilable position of the county board of education, Mr. Williams proposed substitution of another candidate for me position. .Tora Coleman, state leader of county agents, practically withdrew his recommendation." said Mr. Wil Hams," and is ready to approve any one of the several other candidates if they meet with the approval of the farm bureau. If the farm bureau will approve of any of these cadidates, Purdue will recommend his election, the county board of education stands rea4y to elect him and he can be on the job by Aug. 15, (the date of expiration of the contract with Mr. Dolan). . Offers to Rush Action. In view of the difficulties last year, Mr. Farst was skeptical of the pos sibility of such a quick action. "If we agreed to that and election went over later than this meeting, as b" happened so often last year, we would be in a bad fix. he said. Mr. AN illiama met this objection with the offer, ifj the farm bureau would agree to the substitution, to rush through the approval and recommendation and after the new agent was elected on July 20, certify his election immediately. j "Mr. Williams assured me half a dozen times that if we would agree to another agent, we would have him on the job by Aug. 15," said Mr. Farst. With Mr. Williams' information. President Hunt summoned all officials whom he could reach, for a conference in Richmond on Thursday. Farst was the only director visited, Mr. Williams stating when he called Wednesday that he had seen no others yet. Mr. Farst said he had only consented to a substitution in case it was alolutely necessary and having expressed personal obligation to Dolan's re-election on three counts the Percheron breeders' association, of which he is a director, the township and tho county form organizations having recommended Dolan's re-election and requiring him as an official to carry out their wishes. Further, Mr. Farst stated that he personally was in favor of the present agent. Referring to the reported statement of Ministerial association opposition. Rev. Backus said, Friday: "I do not think that even any of the members of the Ministerial association would oppose Mr. Dolan." When asked as to the Kiwanis club attitude on Mr. Dolan's re-election. Dr. E. E. Holland, vice-president, stated: "Any disapproval of Mr. Dolan, if taken, must have been entirely without my knowledge." Robert Heun, secretary of the Rotary club, stated that the tenets of the club prohibit any such action. Protest Hardingsf Action To Conclude Coal Strike (By United Press) INDIANAPOLIS, July' 14.

DRILL CORES TO TEST j HARD SURFACE ROADS, k BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS1 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 14. A few months ego the Indiana state highway commission purchased a machine for drilling cores out of hard surface pavements. It cost $1,200, and Its acquisition is to determine if concrete pavement is laid according to specifications, especially as to the designated thickness of slab. Tho first test was made in Lake county on a section of the Lincoln Highway, and 1,200 feet of pavement rejected as not up to specifications. The contractor decided to give the inferior pavement to the state rather

than tear it up and rebuild it, ho approximately $6,000 was deducted from hi3 contract price in the final settlement. Lately by the purchase of equipment costing $250 tho core driller can be used for bridge foundation exploration. The driller cuts a core foui inches in diameter out of solid rock, and when this core is tested in th commission's laboratory, engineer! seeking to locate a solid foundation beneath the earth's surface and frequently far below a river bed, know positively wirat strength the foundation will be which is'to be used as a support for the bridge crossing.
