~__Mâ€". Telephone Highiand Park 2637 . PHURSDAY, JULY 28, 1927 One of the interesting discoveries of modern astronomy, reâ€" eorded by a Washington writer in the American Magazine, is that the moon at present is gradually receding from the earth, and in so doing is slowing down the speed of the earth‘s rotation. Eventually the earth will turn on its axis at exactly the same speed that the moon revolves around the earth. When that time comes, the moon will always occupy one fixed place in the sky, and will be visible only from one side of the earth. # _ Much of the presentâ€"day knowledge of the moon comes from the famous Harvard astronomer, Prof. William H. Pickering, who has devoted his life to the study of this nearest celestial ne&llhor of the earth. He has just completed the thirtieth year of him‘obâ€" servations, which for the past fifteen years have been conducted from a height on the island of Jamaica, south of Cuba, where the cloudless night sky is peculiarly favorable to lunar observation, _ Professor Pickering is of the opinion that the only feasible method of getting to the moon is visually, through the eyepiece of a telescope. A 12â€"inch telescope brings you within approxiâ€" mately 1000 miles of the moon, and it is possible to distinguish abâ€" jects as small as 200 feet wide. _ _ _ _ _ _ h |uivaentionvlinnant ondinnndiy 40 t ce in s The surface of the moon is a "world of volcanos." Its soâ€"called seas are great dry lava beds, and its mountains are towering volâ€" canic cliffs. Though the moon is only a quarter the diameter of the earth, these surface features are on a scale so gigantic as to dwarf most earthly scenery. Many of the lunar peaks are five or six miles high, and some of the craters are nem"l‘y five‘mi‘les deep. What‘s wrong with the conference for limitation of naval arâ€" maments which is meeting in Geneva? _ _ D y Called by President Coolidge, it includes only Great Britain, Japan and the United States, with France and Italy looking on. ‘The purpose is to carry forward the task begun at the Washington disarmament conference in 1921. Battleships were limited then. Now it is a matter of juggling cruisers, submarines and aircraft. ‘And each nation is holding out for as many ships as it needs for "defense," laying stress on its own peculiar situations and vulnerâ€" _ An airplane, flying 200 miles an hour, would reach the in about 46 days. eERoR Lt But little hope of any real disarmament is in evidence. The Woman‘s Home Companion, which has come to represent the womâ€" en citizens of this country in an intimate and comprehensive way, has been investigating the reason for the lack of real peace senâ€" timent in Geneva. Its finding is that public opinion is not funcâ€" tioning on the subject. _ 5 2e i "he, ability. Railroad freight traffic has been heavier this year than last, but official figures show that passenger travel on the railroads steadily declines. In the entire country railway passenger earnâ€" ings declined from $329,290,000 in 1925 to $314,888,000 in 1926. Most of the losses are shown to have been in the day coach busiâ€" ness, but the receipts from sleeping cars dropped off last year for the first time in many years. _ Railroad authorities predict a fallâ€" ing off in passenger receipts for the year 1927 of approximately $50,000,000. 4 Mn ie ooo on n mt Twice this year American public opinion has been stirred into protest by threats of war, first in Mexico and later in Cuba. But until that voice speaks more clearly and insistently, the human race will not move perceptibly toward any permanent solution of disarmament and outlawry of war. wed as Second Class matter March 1, 1911, at the post office at Highland k, Hilincis, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
