Asks Astronomer British Star Gazer Doubts Pick ering's Discovery of Cactus and Sage Brush on Moon. By Sir Frank Dyson Auwiwf BoraJ of Great Britain. London, Jan. 31. I have my doubts about the supposed discov ery by Professor Pickering of Har vard observatory of vegetation on the moon. I know Professor Pickering. He has a splendid atmosphere for his work In the West Indies; he works hard; he comes of a talented fam ily; one of his brothers is at the head of one of the best observatories in the world but this "discovery" of plants, like sagebrush and cacti on the moon. Is highly speculative. Professor Pickering believes the "cra ters" on the moon are formed by vol canoes, whose eruption has left some Tater in these hollows In the form of snow or hoar frost. He maintains that during the lunar day the floor of these hollows gradually darkens, a change pf color which can only be accounted for by the growth of vegetation. The professor admits that tho won derful symmetry of these circular craters suggests they were made by falling metqrs rather than by volcanoes. In fact they exactly resemble the hollows made by bombs dropped by aeroplanes. If this is so, the bottom of Professor Pickering's argument- is knocked out at once. Again, Professor Pickering asserts that "observations made at Greenwich during occultations of the moon show that a tenuous atmosphere actually ex ists on the surface othe moon." It is going too far to say that. Greenwich never demonstrated this. Little weight can be attached to the argument that sagebrush and cacti would not. be likely to be created if there were no animals to eat them. The conclusion of the matter la that Professor Pickering has three times called attention to his theories, in 1915, 1317 and" 1919, and yet no astronomers have thought it worth while to devote attention to them. AS for Professor Goddard's idea of im proving on the big Bertha that bom barded Paris, by means of a shell con taining successive charges of explosive and firing a. similarly constructed rocket that- will travel the 230.000 miles to the inoen-Uila. caii'be ltemlFsel, a K "wild eat" proposal , , Nation 'Assets to Be Inventoried; 1200 To Take New Census Washington, Jan. 31.

Myers, who for seven years has been postmaster of Port land, has formally tendered his res ignation as requested by the post master general, the resignation be ing effective tonight. TO INSPECT OFFICE Commenting on the investigation to be conducted tonight, he made no def inite assertions, but he did say such inspections were made annually and that It had been nearly a year since the last one was held in Portland. Two postofflce inspectors from an other district conducted the investiga tions that led to the request for Myers' resignation, according to Barclay. These men are now In San Francisco. It is believed that Myers sent his resig nation to Washington two days ago, following a request for such a step from the higher authorities. Robert H. Barclay, inspector-in-charge for the Pacific Northwest postal district. assumes charge of the local postofflce until Myers' successor" is named. A general inspection of all records of the Portland postofflce will be made tonight. MYERS REMAINS SILENT That Myers had actually resigned was learned for the first time today by a representative of The Journal. Myers has steadily maintained a Sphinx-like attitude of silence, refusing to comment one way or the other. Inspector Barclay would not state at what time he would take over the duties of postmaster, declaring it was a matter for Myers himself to reveal.

Portland's Boy Scouts joined the Near Kaat relief movement today when they went to Vancouver in regular army transport wagons fur nished by Colonel Koester, to at tend the launching of the steamer Bearport at the steel yard of the Standifer Construction corporation. The big vessel was scheduled to slip into the water at 12:30 and at 10 the Scouts had assembled at Broad way and Yamhill In force. Such yelling and cheering has seldom been heard.

The Bearport, when outfitted, will carry a 11,000,000 cargo of Northwest flour direct .to the mouth of tho Eu phrates river, for distribution among the starving. Mrs. C. L.

BOY SCOUTS O N K5 House and Senate Agree to Ap point Bi-partisan Committee to Handle All Labor Troubles. Such an Agreement Removes Ail Possibility of Passage of Anti Strike .Bill, It Is Declared. Washington, Jan. 31. (I. N. S.) Creation of a bi-partisan board of labor adjustment for the settlement of railroad labor differences has been practically agreed upon by the house and senate conferences on the railroad bill.
