New Possib'liiies for
Speed Plane Route.
Sydney. Australia ?Radio experiments
Just completed by Or. D. F.
Martyn und Dr. O. O. Pulley of
Sydney university hnve demonstrated
the oossiblltty of exploring the
entire stratosphere for a distance of
150 miles above the earth without
the necessity of further dangerous
ascensions.
Except for the possibility of ascertaining
whether the strutosphere
constitutes a medium for speedy
aerial travel, the two Sydney scientists
are convinced that all necessary
Information about the earth's
upper atmosphere can now be obtained
from the earth Itself.
Under the system invented and
thoroughly demonstrated by Doctor
Martyn, the upper air can now be
probed by radio signals.
His new method gives accurst#
data on the amount of electrification,
the amount of ozone and the
temperature throughout the whole
thickness of the upper air from 22
up to 150 miles.
Robot Does All Work
The new type apparatus which
Doctor Martyn has perfected consists
of a robot that sends out signals,
catches the echoes, varies the
wave lengths and plots all the information
obtained on a tiny chart.
One of the first discoveries made
by Doctor Martyn with his new invention
was that there is still another
cold layer of air far above the
stratosphere cold layer recently
reached by Russian and American
balloonists. Between the two cold
layers there lies sandwiched a
warm layer and it is in this latter
that Doctor Martyn thinks that
stratosphere flying might become a
possibility.
According to the radio records
made by Doctor Martyn, temperatures
again dip in the second stratosphere
above the waFm-zone layer,
reaching a minimum at 50 miles
above the earth's surface.
From these upward the temperatures
increase till they end in a
torrid zone at 150 miles of altitude.
Former Theory Upset
On this latter heated zone Doctor
Martyn's radio reports contradict
the belief of Professor Appleton,
who was convinced this zone was
hot only in summer. Martyn's experiments
show that the seasonal
drop is only from 1,300 to 1,000 degrees.
As a consequence, Doctor Martyn
declares, that the earth is perpetually
girdled by a fiery ring of inconceivably
rarefied air. in which,
necessarily, no human activity could
ever be hoped for. *
?MeasuryinOnTiToFthe upper ozone
show fluctuations exactly corresponding
to barometric measures on
the ground, but antedating them.
As a consequence weather forecasts.
Doctor Martyn declares, can
be made from these radio probes of
the air.
Australian authorities are so impressed
with Doctor Martyn's findings
that modern ozone measures
are now being installed at the commonwealth
weather tbureau, the solar
observatory at Canberra and
at the installation of the council for
scientific and industrial research.
Separation Suit Filed
28 Years Ago Dismissed
New York.?Twenty-eight years
ago Mrs. Georgia Raynor sued
Valentine R. Raynor for a separation,
but neglected to prosecute it,
and it was never placed on the
court calendar.
Through all the years the husband
sent her $8 a week for maintenance
of herself and a child. But
recently he moved in supreme
court to have the wife's suit dismissed.
Mrs. Raynor, now 54, living in
Columbus, Ohio, appeared before
Justice Louis A. Valente to oppose
the husband's motion and pleaded
that she was without means of support.
Faced with the unusual circumstances
the justice regretfully
granted the husband's motion, adding:
"While I am granting the motion
to dismiss, I am doing so with a
strong hope that he will continue
to make his remittances to his
wife as heretofore In the spirit
which can no longer be deemed
one of compulsion, and in vindication
of the opinion the court on
the whole has formed of his basic
sense of honor."
Canada Builds Largest

Montreal ?The world's largest
streamlined stonm locomotive, 94
feet long, weighing 650.000 pounds,

100 miles an hour, has been completed

The engine is one of four being
constructed for t'? Ccadian Na- i

BOOMS AND SLUMrs
LAID TO SUNSETS
Various Crises Arc Linked
to Solar Activity.
Cambridge, Mass.?In line with
the "sunspot theory" of economic
and industrial activity, there has
come from Hurvard's astronomical
observatory a declaration by L)r.
luring B. Andrews, astronomer,
that sunspot activity can be correlated
with such varied phenomena
as weather conditions, economic :
tranquility and distress, wars, floods
and international crises.
While admitting the correlation
between earthly phenomena and unusually
active spots on the surface
of the sun, Doctor Andrews, in discussing
the subject, states that the
actual source of the, correlation
must be sought in other solar peculiarities
which are correlated in
turn with sunspot activity. \
Especially "amazing," according
to Doctor Andrews, is the correlation
of economic prosperity and depression
with periods of sunspot
maxima which has held true over a
period of the past two centuries.
Using this correlation, the astron- j
omer states that "it would seem |
that all the king's horses and all
the king's men cannot bring prosperity
back again; but the sun can."
Next Maxima in 1939
With a sunspot maxima expected
in 1039, the Harvard scientist tentatively
predicts an increase in stock
market activity at that time, for
"as the number of sunspots mounts,
prosperity turns the corner; as the
number of sunspots diminishes,
prosperity hides itself in a depression."
"It may be pointed out," he continues,
"that the last sunspot maximum
was in 1928, an epoch in the
economic history of the United
States to which one commonly refers
as the good old days." The
last sunspot minimum occurred in
1933. Some one has mentioned an
economic depression similarly dated."
The blemishes on the fape of the
sun, with which Doctor Andrews
finds so many correlations, have
been demonstrated, according to the
scientist, to be huge solar cyclones,
whirlwinds in the solar atmosphere,
accompanied by pronounced magnetic
conditions. Each sunspot, ho
says, is a huge magnet as a result
of the whirling of electrically
charged particles within it.
Sunspots have cycles of eleven
years. Maximum spottedness has
come in 1906, 1917 and 1928 since
the turn of the century and minimum
spottedness in 1901, 1913, 1923
and 1933.
Since the sun rotates on its axis
in a period of 25 days, Doctor Andrews
states that?it is mipussiblfe '
for the earth to be permanently in
the range of a sunspot or a sunspot
group, but when the spots are near
the earth, such terrestrial phenomena
as auroral displays, electric
storms and effects on long-distance
radio reception are noted.
Sunspot Activity
"All of these phenomena," Doctor
Andrews declares, "show a close
correlation with sunspot activity
and particularly with the passage
of an active sunspot group across
the central area of the sun's disk;
the aurorae, borealis and australis.
perform beautifully, magnetic compasses
oscillate to and fro over a
small amplitude centered in their
normal position, and long-distance
radio reception is either improved
or hampered. In connection with
the last of these it should be said
that whether reception is improved
or hampered depends upon the
wave-length of the gignals and other
factors related to radio transmission."
The explanation of the correlation
between sunspot activity and economic
prosperity and other items on
earth is explained as being indirectly
caused by the solar phenomena.
When sun spots are at a maximum,
he finds, the earth's receipt
of heat from the sun is above normal.
Strangely enough, this does
not make for warmer weather because
it increases the evaporation
of water from the earth's surface
and therefore the weather is cooler
than usual and there is increased
rainfall.
Church Bulletin Boards
Just a Salesman's Idea
Ashtabula, Ohio.?Bulletin boards
seen in front of nearly every church
in the country were invented by W.
C. Grant, of Ashtabula.' The first
one in the United States was constructed
on the outside wall of Trinity
church here.
Grant originally intended the bulletin
boards for stores, railroad
time tables, theaters, and other
commercial purposes, but ir. an
at cmpt to increase his sales he
r rlr J selling his signs to
c. uri .ics. It was with the reli'.iocs
institutions that he found his

Year's Elections
Few In Number
Columbia, Dec, 28.?Elections were
scattered in South Carolina during
1937 but the year was one of fence
mending and planning by politlolans
who pin their hopes on the big turn
over in public office scheduled ? for
next summer.
Except for municipal contests and
a few special elections to All vacancies
the general voters had little op-j
portunity to express themselves but'
a major fight took place In the house I
of representatives when the body
elected its presiding officer. ,|
There was a large number w new
members in the house when the general
assembly met early in the year,
and discussion was rife over who
would be the victor in the fight for
the speakership?a powerful place
since that officer names members of
all committees. I
Governor Olin Johnston, still stinging
from defeat in his attempt to
take over the highway department
through use of the militia, had taken
an active part in the election ol legislators,
urging various counties to
send representatives favorable to his
program.
The Johnston forces centered their
fight for house leadership on Repre-1
sentative L. Caston Wannam&ker of
Chesterfield, a newly elected house
member who had been an outspoken
adherent to the governor. Solomon
German Police Dog
Excellent Retriever
German police dogs have long been
famous as protectors but a number
of Columbians saw possibly a new
I use for them when they witnessed
"Tiny," full blooded male, owned hv
Meltun?ltabon, ITT action yesterday.
"Tiny" retrieved birds. And as if
this were not oddity enough, he ran
rabbits and "treed" squirrels.
Those who saw him work declared
he retrieved better than the bird dogs
on the hunt, reaching the scene of
the fallen bird more rapidly and not
even placing his teeth marks in the
soft flesh upon returning the bird to
the hunter.
"It was the most amazing exhibition
I ever saw," one hunter said.
"He brought back a crippled bird
and it was still alive when ho laid
It at my feet."
"Tiny" Is two years old and he
lives on a farm twelve miles out on
the Montlcello road.
His owner predicts that "he will be
pointing coveys in three more weeks."
? Friday's State.
Tuesday, December 28th, was the
81st bli thday anniversary of the late:
Preside :it Woodrow Wilson. Presl- i
dent Roosevelt sent a wreai.ii to lay
on his toniD in tne Washington cathedral.
-|J> - ? ? " V?, fcf-. i-S* - j, - - I.III I i I Blatt,
veteran member from Barnwell,,
who had fought Johnston important
Issues In previous sessldns, bore
the banner of the opposition.
The fight Was fierce- with both aldea
freely predicting victory but when
the votes were cast Blatt was seated
by a margin of five votes. Superinterest
in the speakership election waa
reflected in the fact that 119 of the
124 members of the house voted.
- The "antis" clinched their hold on
the honse leadership by electing Rep1
ressntative J. W. D. Zorbst of Charleston,
speaker pro tern.
; Other elections affecting the general
assembly were special ones callled
in several counties to fill vacancies
in the two houses.
Although already a house member,
Harold K. Davis was elected York
county senator to succeed Dr. David
Lyle, who died before beginning his
term. Davis' place In the house was
filled by E. K. Hardin.
The death of J. D. Witherspoon of I>aurens
left a vacancy which waa
filled by Phil Huff, a legislative veteran
of past sessions.
W. P. Baskins of Lee county tvaa
named in a primary to succeed Senator
R. E. Dennis, who died. A general
election to make the election final
has been called for January 4
In Union county, Paul E. Wilburn
wub elected December 21 to fill the
place of Representative J. Frost
Walker, who resigned to Join United
States Senator E. D. Smith's staff at
Washington.
While elections were few in iy37
many a plan for a 1938 race was considered.
While steadfastly refusing to put
himself on record, Governor Ol'n D.
Johnston definitely jockeyed himself
into position as the logical opponent
of Senator "Cotton Ed" Smith.
Smith, a veteran of almost 30 years
_Ln_-Lhe senate, stood little chanc-T^trf*"^
'other serious opponents for his place
if pre-campaign preparations of 1937
gave any true indication.
The governor's race?also a major
prospect for the summer of 1938?
showed tendencies to develop into a
many sided affair with few political
wiseacres willing to hazard a guess
so far ahead as to the outcome.
Wyndham M. Manning of Sumter,
unsuccessful candidate in 1934; former
governor and United States Senator
Cole L. Blease, runnerup in the
same race, and H. C. Godfrey, former
representative and labor department
inspector, were the announced candidates
for gubernatorial honors.
Representative Ben E. Adams, of
Columbia, foe of the relief administration;
Ben T. Leppard, Greenville
county senator and state Democratic
chairman, and Representative Neville
Bennett, of Marlboro, chairman of the
Ways and Means committee, were
mentioned frequently during the past
year for the same Job but so far announcements
from them have not
been forthcoming.
