Women Agitate Against
Vow At Altar to Obey
LONDON.- -Demands that the
marriage service, which was "in
spired by the ideals of the time
of Henry VIII," be revUed, have
been made upon the National
Assembly of Church ot England
by the National Union or Societies
for Equal Citizenship. 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

the scientific term for the radiant
tear. tie', of material stretching to
ercailstaaces froni the main orb,

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.
Dr. Coblenz, u?ing better Instru
ments than his predecessors,

gives ground for ; the inference
that the; corona is made up in part
of - dense matter, because if it
were all Incandescent gas; : the
temperature would be higher.,
In measuring the time of the
eclipse, or rather the time of dura
tion of j the obscuration, I. 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 : !

Signal Corps Badio Met ? :
Covers .Entire Country
WASHINGTON. ;President
Coolidge's economy program 'has
found an active ally 'in radio
which, army signal corps officers
say, saves tne government about
$100,000 annually in communica
tion charges.
' 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

Officers' Taunts Blamed
For Austrian Army Suicides

BRITOXS TCIL TO TENNIS
LONDON The increasing pop
ularity of tennis among Britons
is giving the professional the time
of his life. There are not enough
to go round and not only are
instructors at London and prov
incial clubs working overtime, but
they have to refuse many applica
tions from people owning country
houses who wish to obtain their
services over the week-end. Wo

demand as men, and fees are said

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.
