The Wom en's Freedom league also has come out for a change. -. The marriage service is anti quated, according to Miss Florence Underwood, secretary of the Free dom league, who contends that her organization cannot agree to airy formula which. Indicates less than absolute" equality between mea,and women. - "We do not presume to suggest to the church -any particular al ternative form of words. said Miss Underwood, "as that is the business of the church and we leave it to the bishops to consider. Bat we certainly do object to the word obey.' It is most assuredly high time t$at a serrice was evolv ed which, -while retaining all the beauty and sacredness of the one now used, would demand precisely the same from one party as from the other." Scientists Declare "Solids Form Part of Sun's Corona WASHINGTON A summariza tion of scientific knowledge gath ered', from the . sun's eclipse Jan. jt i I has ' led 'the,; Bureau of Stan dards io'.three' tnaln conclusions. Theseare:-;; Jl;-J ' .-.ThaVthe Iven'a corona, which is the scientific term for the radiant tear. tie', of material stretching to ercailstaaces froni the main orb, "la irf -part comDOsed of solid nr l5":i 'njaferialV and not entirely or cas. : , ' ' That the existence of an ele ment in the sun, provisionally dubbed "coronium," which has never been encountered on the arth'a globe, is fairly well estab lished. -' r ; t That a new method of timing eclipses, based on the phenomena of light, can be' worked out and applied on June 2, 1927, when the next great eclipse of the sun. visible in Europe. JsIue. Dr. George K. of the bureau, and his staTT of ex perts wno made a Jrarlety of in vestigations dnrlnir tn fiw moments the sun was veiled, reacnea these conclusions at a meeting at which they brought their preliminary compilations together. They are continuing comparisons with tire findings of other scientists. - Dr. C. C. Kiess, who took a epectra observation from the air ship Los Angeles, detected again in his photographs the green and -red lines which are believed to ""Be note the existence of "coroni ura." His findings checked ac curately with those of previous observers who have sought evi dence as to the possible new ele ment. . . ' - The . conclusions as to the solid ani liquid matter in the corona rc?t largely upon the experiments of Drs. II. T. Stetson and W. W. Coblenz, aimed at establishing- the exact temperature or the sun.

G. Priest, another bureau expert, sought to give astronomers better data for calculating the . move ment of the moon. There is a gap in proven data which makes the time of the coming of eclipse uncertain by severar,feeconda, and although this circumstance is pmiosopmcaliy accepted by j or dinary humanity, It Is annoying to scientists. i f : ! i Old Time Tea Plants Now Used for Hedges SUMMER VI LLE, S.

' The army handles the message business of many of the depart ments inland, just as the navy takes care of government coast wise and off-shore traffic, and the signal corps has built up what its officers term- "the most complete and perfected radio network in the world." : . .' 't The message center of the war department, located in the Muni tions building, is the nerve focus of the radio system. Twelve sta tions link -the various corps area headquarters ' with Washington, and within each of the corps units there are radio stations for Inter area work, comprising 60 stations, and 17 distributed through the insular possessions and Panama. Army transports -also are equip ped with radio. The signal corps is using this goTernment business to train its personnel, the equipment and traffic being controlled from Washington.. At Fort Lea;n woTth, Kansas, and Salt Lake City. Utah, are Installed ten-kilowatt tube transmitters to relay trans continental messages. From Wash ington to .New York and also to Baltimore, the corps- , maintains leased telegraph wires, but the rest of the system is an all-radio one. Installation and operation are done entirely by signal corps personnel. :In conjunction with Its radio system, the signal corps maintains a weather-forecasting service for army airplanes. Captain E. F. French is S in charge of the radio net, under Colonel N. F. McClure, signal rps officer in charge, of I com munication facilities.' - J Wotor Driven Vessels' Take - piace of Steamships LONDON A biff "sea change" steamships to motor-ships v -is predicted in the annual report of Harland and Wolffs, the big shipbuilding firm. .

' Buslnccs Drives Far-Famed "Diana From Lofty Perch NEW YORK Madison Square Garden, scene of the last Democ ratic national convention, a land mark since 1890, a magic name eince "1878, will pass out of the picture early ia May. Wreckers then will lay jack, adze And crow bar to probahly New York's most widely known institution to make way for the new 18-story home of the New, York Life Insurance company. : ; '. ' The towered arena, surmounted by forlorn Diana drawing string less bow against the north wind, will be reduced to rubble in & few months. j Madison Square Garden, there have been two buildings, was originally the abandoned' pass enger station of. the old Harlem Railroad. Harlem trains from; Al bany in the late '60s were towed there, down Fourth 'avenue from 42nd street, because steam-power in the heart of the city was deem ed unsafe. : - . ' !' Commodore Vanderbilt captur ed the Harlem line and subordin ed it to his own Hudson River Railroad. The Harlem station was closed when he opened Grand Central station farther north. P. T. Barnum, with show man's eye, saw the possibilities of the deserted tralnshed. It cover ed 32 city lots,- the largest en closure in Manhattan, and he leas ed it for his circus, opening its long career as a concourse j for athletic ;meetB, monster concerts, and - horseshows. It was also known under its present name from then on, save for four years as "Gilmore's Garden" durlngia tenancy of the bandmaster. 1 , The tralnshed was replaced' by the present structure In 1889. The new building was designed by Stanford White, who more than a decade later was shot there by Harry K. Thaw. It was financ ed by a syndicate comprising J. Plerpont Morgan, D. O. Mills and J other leading spirits In the Horse Show association. It. was 'formal ly opened before 17,000 ..people on June 16, 1890, with Edward Strauss and his orchestra and tw"b grand ballets. S " The shows, political conven tions, balls, mass meetings and national sporting events held In the Garden in the "subsequent 35 years are familiar history. ; Also, duTing 'this period, the value 0 the building, which cost f 3,000, 000 to erect, dwindled to" a mere $150,000 when the New York Life bought it in aj foreclosure auction ia 1916. - The total consideration was 12,000.000, land and all. 1 Because the Garden never nald financially, it had to go.
