WILSON, Cal. tJP) Announce ment of -the site for the 200-Inch telescope; which doubles the size of the present largest instrument, Is expected soon. The astrophyslcal laboratory for the telescope Is under construction on the campus of the California In stitute of Tecnology, which will have charge of the great eye-piece. Shopping around for a mountain $te suitable .for such a .telescope Involves perhaps more difficulties than . making shrewd real estate deals or choosing a bridal trousseau. Merely finding a high mountain, above the clouds, and with, plenty of the famous clear mountain air. Is useless. Although the air about a high mountain may be of limpid fierfectlon to the human eye. It 1b Ikely to be turbulent' and too changeable In destiny for a telescope. Another obstacle of too much alti tude Is the great difference between day and night temperatures, cn us ing expansion and contraction that ruin accurate adjustment of astron omical Instruments. Configuration of the mountain and surrounding country, and the nature of prevailing air currents are the Important questions, not to mention the Job of dragging up a mountain side a 200-lnch mirror, the size of a large living room floor and costing several million dollars. Details of this big telescope have not been made public, but Its out standing surprises may be guessed by comparison witn the 100-lncn telescope here, which for some time has been the world's largest. The 100-inch "sees" about 1.000 million stars. The 200-Inch Is not limited to merely doubling this number. It will receive four times as -much light and Is expected to show about 100 times as many stars 10.000 millions of them. Paradoxically it will not show the mor distant stars by magnifying their apparent size, put by actually cutting them down. With this reduction will gg Increase In the distinctness and brightness of the star Images. n.UiCAGE STICKERS OP DOX , CAPTIVATE TOIKIST EVES LISBON UP) Germany's giant fly Ingshlp DOX hasn't all of the coin fprts of a big trans-Atlantic liner. 8 "" for P6tlB on V"- ger's luggage. . . .

Scheduled service obviously de pends pri development of flying boats that can bridge the gulf regularly be tween the Azores and Bermuda. So far no flying boat bos demon strated this ability, together with a capacity for carrying a pay load. But British aviation experts are letting no gras grow ynder their pentoons, to borrow a phrase. , The air ministry Is building an enormous all-metal monoplane In the Vlckers plant, a ship to be pow ered by six , 900-horsepower Bolls Royce engines. It will havp a maxi mum speed of 14& miles per hour, as deduced from wind tunnel tests. . Luxurious accommodations for 40 passengers are provided In the plan. With detachable sleeping bunks for 20 passengers. Operating quarters for the crew are totally enclosed and pilots are situated high up with an excellent view. The hull is pf stainless steel, the wing of metal with the- exception) of the covering of the trailing portion, which Is fabric. The main spar struc ture also is stainless steel through out, including the nose covering. it. nas a wing span or 174 feet and an overall height of 32 feet. It will carry 2.250 gallons of gasoline. Loaded for six hours' endurance It can carry a pay load of 16,000 pounds for 12 hours. On the 12-hour trip 16,690 pounds of gasoline would be consumed, the ship to have a total weight to start of 75,000 pounds. For landing the ship can be throttled down to 72.5 miles per hour, and climb at a rate of 750 feet a minute. Its service ceilmg will be 11,000 feet. The normal range, it Is estimated, will be 700 miles, with maximum of ,1,300. CORPORATION FARMING NOT LEGGE'S IDEA LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 28 (P Emphatic denial that he or the farm board had advocated corporation farming as a solution to the agricul tural problem was made here by Chairman Legge. In an address be fore the farm and home convention, the chairman termed statements of "soap box orators" that the farm board had declared Itself in favor of corporation farming as "unjust and untrue. "Nothing," the chairman said, "could be further from the facts. On the contrary we have been careful to be explicit In dlscusslne the subject so such statements can not be ex cused on the ground of misunder standing." He added that some of the stanle crops probably will require a moder ate adjustment In the size of the farm unit for economic production. ine cnairman said statistics on wheat production showed variations In cost running from 40 cents to $1.67 ousnei.

F O SMOOTHNESS The new Ford has more than ittfenttjj-bail nnd roller bciirintfs EVIDENCE of the high quality built into the new -Ford is the extensive use of ball and roller bearings. There are more than twenty in all an unusually large num ber". Each bearing is adequate in size and carefully selected for the work it has to do. At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball bearings. At others, roller bearings are used regardless of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per formance of the car. The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline, increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life to vital moving parts. ' Other outstanding features that make the new Ford a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb ers, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves, three-quarter floating rear axle, Rustless Steel, the ex tensive use of fine steel forgings, and unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
