MARS NEAR ON JULY 27 From a maximum distance of approximately 248 million miles, Mars will approach to within about 36 million miles of the earth, July 27, the nearest it has been to us since 1924. Astronomers will take advantage of Its nearness to make further study of conditions on that planet. Despite its relatively close approach, however, Mars will not outshine Venus in brightness, although the latter is much farther away. The distance from the earth ranges from 25 million to 151 million miles. Much discussion has been indulged in concerning the so-called canals on Mars, but most astronomers do not believe these are .real, or that there is any ife on the planet capable of constructing works of such magnitude. Tn fact, if there is life on Mars at all, it must be very different from anything we can imagine. Scientists estimate the temperature on Mars to range from 40 degrees at noon to 100 degrees below zero at night. There is very little oxygen in the thin atmosphere of the planet, perhaps not mere than one per cent of that contained in the atmosphere of the earth, according to Dr. Walter S. Adams, director of Mount Wilson Observatory. The air we breathe is about four parts nitrogen to one part oxygen, with minute quantities of other gases. The atmosphere of Mars is believed to be principally carbon dioxide, and very little of ttyat. Suing his wife for a divorce, Ernest Clarke of London said he had been a victim of nagging for 30 years.

farmers are glad to have the club liberate the young birds on their farms. The local club is trying to place them on farms where hunting will be permissable during the short season and they receive seventy-five cents for each bird that is released.

Mrs. Eleanore Johnson of Indianapolis will be with Mrs. Adams until fall. JAYWALKER VICTIMS l Some months ago a checx-uP in Washington, D. C., disclosed that 73 per cent of all traffic fatalities in that city over a certain period were those ofi jaywalkers —persons who metldeatn by \valking in the streets under circumstances forbidden by traffic regulations. It has been stated by the National Safety Council that 39 per cent of all traffic deaths are those of pedestrians, arid in -Sties two out of three killed in traffic are on foot. Accidents to pedestrions caused 12,500 deaths and 275,000 n on-fatal injuries last year. Much has been said and written about reckless drivers, and the campaign against them should be pressed with vigor. But the jaywalkers present a probles hardly less serious, as the figures given will how. Many of them risk their lives to gain a minute of time, and it is often difficult for the most careful driver to avoid striking these careless walkers. Women appear to be more careful than men, as only 22 per cent of fatalities and 33 per cent of non-fatal injuries were those of female walkers. This may be due to the fact that fewer women are on the streets at night, when 72 per cent of fatalities in cities CuFThe results of safety campaigns in numerous cities lately have been gratifying, but the needless slaughter will continue until both pedestrians and drivers are awakened to a fuller realization of their personal responsibilities, Mr. Daniel Jones spent Tuesday afternoon in Fort Wayne.
