SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1930 PAGE TWELVE THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON NEW PLANETS SHOW SIGNS OF SOLAR SYSTEM San Jose, Cal. OF) The signifi cance of the verification of the ex t&icncfl of a new planet announced at the Lowell Observatory at Flag staff, Ariz., lies mainly. Dr. Robert Aiken believes, in the realization ol the increased sue of the solar sys tem. Dr. Aiken is a noted astron omer at Lick Observatory at Mt. -Hamilton, near here. ..- . Dr. Aiken said that the most sig nificant, of course, is that the pla net Is there. It explains some of the Irregular motions in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus and demon Ktrates that our little family of worlds is not sucn a puny mings as modern telescopes have made It appear in comparison with the known universe. The discovery, however, will not, tn Dr. Aiken's opinion, modify existing theories of the probable origin or nature of the solar system. The so-called Nebular Hypothesis embraces two widely accepted sup positions, astronomers say. The first and now apparently the most widely accepted, is the planetesi- mai tneoory. ay m&v is meant me belief that Nodules or lumps formed in the rotating: pnmai neouiar mass from which the plants and the sun evolved and that in time these collected to themselves the more tenuous Nebular matter or star dust around them. Some be lieve that planets are still grow ing tn weight, if not size, due to the continual dropping of meteors and Stardust on their surfaces. As they are cooling, meanwhile, and hence, contracting, the size per haps Is not increasing. The other and older suppostlon Is that the sun and planets were thrown as molten globes from the original nebular and that what was left be came the sun. . Tills- supposition, carried out, led to the suggestion that the moon may have been thrown off from the earth as the earth was by the sun. Students' cf istronamy fcftv agreed that no positive verification exist ed for their theories and hoped that future discoveries would sup ply this lack.

Telephone Company Opens for Business In New Building Monday morning the business offices and commercial department of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company will be installed and opened new home at 740 State street and the old offices at 170 North Liberty street will be permanently closed. However, the operating departments will remain in their present location until alter the ilwt oX the year as it Is estimated fully 10 months will be required with a big crew working making the difficult installations to switch over to the automatic sys tem to be installed here next year. All business relationships will be conducted from the new offices starting Monday morning, states C. C. Aller, district manager for the company, and he expects the new offices will remain open until late Monday evening to anyone wishing to visit Mr. Aller or his assocates In their new home. The switch will be made Satur day night with the equipment from the old business offices to the new and marks the close of a quarter of century of service to Salem by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company. Salem's first telephone exchange was established in 1884 in the rear 8-."Jf-toW tt-8Mte ';1Com- mere la 1 streets. In 1890 there were US telephones in the city. But so rapid was the growth of the ex change during the next few years that in 1905 the offices were moved to its1. Liberty street location. Early last year plans were an nounced by the telephone company for the erection of the new three story building directly across from Willson park. Actual construction was started in May and was com pleted except for finishing lmlde on December 1. Of steel frame conduction, fireproof and light ter ra cotto finish it has been planned to ultimately accommodate five stor ies, while It now has three and a full basement. The new building embodies many of the latest feat ures of telephone design, according to Mr. Aller, among which will be the use of Individual desks In place of the usual business counters. Al though this feature has been adopt ed In many of the newer buildings on the coast Salem is the first city In which It has been instituted in Oregon. The walls of the office are finished In a pale buff color wheh harmonizes strikingly with green ripple drapes and grey-grccn linoleum. Near the center of the room Is an attractive built-in tel ler's and attendant's cage opposite which are located local and long distance telephone booths. A cus tomer's room, in which visitors may take up special business matters. Is located In the rear of the office. All woodwork and furniture is of dark mahogany. No special demonstration will be put on by the company at the open ing of the business offices but when equipment Is installed an open house will be staged for Salem folks to see their new building in Its en tirety. A trip through the new building even in Its present stages, however, reveals what a monumental addition it la to Salem's general line of public buildings. The front doors, which will nev er be kicked, and which have no lock on them in fact, open onto a spacious lobby equipped with phone booths for service, to the public at any time. At the left on entering are the business offices already described. At the rear is a large room for handling the long line rirpwrtmenr. laarge lavatory PILES CURED WITHOUT OPERA TION OR LOSS Ot Tl.MI Pit. MARSHALL 12 OREGON BUM. for business at the company s rooms are on the west aide of the floor. On the second floor are the main operating rooms. Here also Is a large rest room for operators, with a kitchenette all ot which, will be completely equipped. And incident ally Mr. AUer states that the auto matic service will not decrease the number of operators over 30 to 35 per cent and all the old operators will be kept on. Operators hired the past year have been hired with the understanding their work would be temporarily only until the new con nections are made. Operators will be used for toll calls, farmers line calls, and special operators will be employed to keep dial calls straight ened out where mistakes have been made. The number of toll opera tors will remain about the same as a big percentage of toll calls are now taken through the city lines. The entire east half of the build ing Is given over to the room where the operators wll be stationed on the second fjoor. v on tne tmra iioor is a large room where the automatic eulpment will be Installed with provision for ca bles coming up from the basement through ducts. At the rear Is the testing department where delicate machinery wil be located for test ing line truoble and other purposes. With this machinery throuble on the line anywhere can be ascertain ed within one or two poles of the difficulty. A complete basement under the building houses the automatic heat ing plant which will furnish steam through an all burner. It also con tains a big supply and crew room. a large storage battery room where huge storage batteries will be kept. A long cable room eight feci wide, the entire length of the building, which can carry as high as 60 ca bles and from these they radiate to the cable room on the third floor. This room Is equipped with a steel door which will close automatlclly In case of fire. An Interesting feature on the top landing of the building Is a frlgl- daire equipment to furnish Ice cold water at fit times to bubbling foun tains which are situated through out the building. The lavatories are furnished on every floor, done in marble and modern In every re spect. The building Is built massively throughout so there can be no sag ging or Jarring to Interfere with the operation of - the numerous del icate instruments used. The ceiling is furnished In a man ner so two more stories may be add ed and the rear wall of the entire building and basement I of brick so It may be knocked out and ex tensions built when needed. In every respect the building Is beatlfully finished from top to bot tom. "t.o.m.bar's! We awra know whereat wv apeak.

Measures of persuasion rather than duress, Izvestia said, must be used In getting peasants to Join the collective farms. Any official who henceforth departs from this pol icy will be severely punished. "Doubtless," continued the paper, 'our enemies will raise a terrific shout of Joy over this alleged re treat from our policy of collectivi zation. The laboring masses know that to retreat would mean sur render to the enemy of our posi tions which we have gained. Not only will we not surrender our po sitions but we intend to loruiy ourselves by the mobilization of all our power and means into one vast collective effort. By holding fast to our positions, we will create con ditions which will enable us to move toward complete socialism with the entire mass of laboring peasants. This task Is difficult, but can doubt lessly be solved. Mistakes and. vio lations of tne communist party's rural policies, which have been com mitted by some 'bonenead' village officials, are absolutely Intolerable and must cease immediately."

Ide, Manager Oregon State Chamber of Commerce Oregon leads the nation in hops. This state- products from 50 to 55 per cent ot the country's supply. Ninety-nine per cent of the nation a output comes . from- the Pacific coast. In the Independence district of Polk county the hop production in good years has averaged f 1.000. 000, approximately one-half that amount being paid in wages for labor. Employment is given to many people from early spring to lato fall and during harvest season thousands of pickers are employed. Oregon has approximately 17,000 acres devoted to hops which pro duce an average of 1,000 pounds per acre and the crop is worth about t3.000.000. Hop production is a busi ness for a lar?c operater and the reduced market in recent years has made the industry somewhat less important than formerly. Hops are planted from cuttings taken from PRINCE CAROL LEAVES HELEN Bucharest, Rumania (JP) Reports emanating from alleged reliable sources Saturday said that Prince Carol, father of the infant King Michael, has separated from Mme. Helene Lupescu, Rumanian woman for whom he renounced his rights to the throne of his country. There have been frequent reports of separation of Prince Carol and Mme. Lupescu, usually followed by their appearance in public again at Paris. In June, 1928. Princess Helen of Greece, his wife and mother of the boy king, divorced him. j His affairs of heart brought him I into disfavor In Rumania and led to 1 his exile. j At various times he has been men- ) tloned as plotting to return. j HILENE A wonderful motor Inbrlcanl rius Carbon Remover Costs No More "Russ" Smith 197 So.
