CALL PLEADS GUILTY In circuit court Saturday morning, Richard Call, 24, residing on state highway No. 13, three miles from Syracuse, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of petit.larceny, the stealing of fishing tackle from C. W. Howard, Syracuse, valued at S2O, on August 27, 1939. Call informed Judge John A. Sloone that he and a companion, Earl t Newcomer, were intoxicated when they broke in and stole the fishing tackle.

ASTRONOMERS WORRIED Since 1675 the Greenwich Observatory, near London, has been the workshop of the British royal astronomers, and for many years, its meridian has been considered longitude 0, from which both east and west longitude is determined by most civilized countries. But Greenwich is becoming unfit as a place for astronomical work, according to a report of Dr. H. Spencer Jones, royal astronomer, because of interference of various kinds from modern London. The glare of the city’s lights thrown against the sky, the thundering of rains, the sulphurous fumes from factories, and electrical interference with the delicate intruments are among the nuisances which worry the astronomers and hamper their observations. While it may be necessary eventually to remove the royal observatory to another location, it is not believe that this will be done in the near future and the astronomers will have to make the best of the situation. The United Kingdom has several modern observatories, among them being those at Edinburgh, Dublin, Oxford and Cambridge.

THE SAFEST SHIP The United States has never gone in for building merchant vessels of great size, but the steamship America, recently launched at Newport News, Va., will be the largest passenger liner ever built in this country, besides being the safest in the world. Through the use of marinite, an asbestos material, for partitions and other construction usually made of wood, the America will be fireproof and the largest of its kind afloat. The ship will be one of the new fleet being built for the U. S. Maritime Commission, all of which will be of similar fireproof construction. With a gross register tonnage of about 26,000, the America will be relatively small as compared with such super-liners as the Normandie, Queen Mary and others which have a gross register of 80,000 tons or more. Now about 40 per cent completed, the America is expected to be ready for service next spring, and will be operated by the United States Lines. There will be 490

It is primarily designed for safety and economical operation, although having most of the consorts and conveniences of its more pretentious sisters of the sea.
