M. Slipher, observatory director, said today. The planet's surface: is divided into red and i blue green regions. The red portions have the same appearance as' the earth's desert regions and are little affected by changing seasons, but the blue green districts which some astro nomers have contended were seas. show a tint that changes at dlf ferent seasons, declared Dr. .Sli- pber. ! ... 11:1" "V t The present theory is that these blue reen regions are vegetation, for ; they later fade; out and in some sections change to a choco late brown color. j ; ; Changes in the dark: areas how ever do not take place until the polar cap of ! snow And ice begins to recede, ' which is said to sub stantiate the i theory ? of vegeta tion, which appears to await watar before showing growth. This is in keeping with the theory ad yanced by Dr. Lowell many years ago, Dr. Slipher added. ' Dr. W. W: Cobblentz of the United States bureau: of stand ards who for some weeks past has been" studying Mars from the Lowell observatory, Announced to day that the; temperature of Mars probably is somewhat lower than that of the earth but sufficiently warm to support vegetation and permit habitation. ?; 3 f Ceremonies ara Slated Sep tember 28 According to Rev.j Fereshetian i Dedication of the new Unitarian church at Chemeketa and Cottage has been set for September. 28 by Rev.
