(Spe cial) Changes In city ordinances rel ativ to traffic, curfew, skating rinka and pool balls will be up to tbe rote of the Springfield city council at its special meeting Tuesday sight in tbe city halt The judiciary committee, headed by M. J. McKIin, baa ordered W. A. G re man, attorney, to draft measures embodying rhanges with a view to putting "teeth" into the law enforcement Other members of the committee are Herbert J. Cox mid Roland E. Moahier. " Traffic ordinances of the city should be drawn in agreement with state law, permitting automobiles to be run on the streets at a rute of 20 miles per hour aud on bridges and at intersectionskat 12 miles an hour. and loaded trucks at 12 and 8 miles per hour respectively, the committee maintains. Ihe curfew measure pro posed would make it unlawful for a minor under 10 years of age to be loitering on the streets after 0:30 p. m. For the first offense tbe culprit is to he escorted borne by a police officer; for the second offense he Ik to be taken before the city recorder and his parents notified with a fine for conviction and in case of further offending1 more drastic measures taken. This measure would make necessary th repeal of the old ordi nance on curfew drawn up in IRStf. An amendment to ordinance 358 is being proposed with the intention of prohibiting the opening of a skating rink on Sunday instead of the presant permission to remain open until ti p. m. A ruling on- pool halls, card rooms and bowling alleys with a view to doting them at 11 p. m. every night instead of at 11:30 and 12 has also been proposed, which would amend ordinances 112 and 305. Search to be Made By Observers For Element 'Coronium' WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. (An One of 4he scientific Investigations to be msde during the solar eclipse on January 24, will be a search for s ew element. Dr. I'. C. Kiess of the bureau of stsndards, who wilt be one of the obaerfeni on the airship Los Angeles, will photograph the sun's corona, which becomes risible st tbe moment of eclipse totsily, with a specially designed camera that may be able to abstract conclusive proof of that "coroniuni" a metal merely suspected now to exist, is an actua lity. From the Los Angeles, which will take a position at sea above cloud levels, for tbe observations, Dr. Kiess camera will seek to photo grapb tbe spectra of the momentarily extinguished orb. tbe procesa Involv ing the filtering of tho Jight through a glass prism. It Das been proven possible to establish the identity of a given element by so analysing the light which it givea off when iigtily heated, a constant condition of all elements in the sun. At the moment of eclipse, tbe cen trsl body of the sun is completely obscured, and the omy llsht given off comes from the sun's "corona, which is tho halo of incaudescen. gases which spring out from the cen tral body. Psst observations with IJie spectroscopic camera have given the ground for suspicion that a hithertu unknown element tentatively nameo "coronium" exist in the corona mix ture of inntensely hot gaseous ele ments. As n matter of incidental interest, Dr. Kiesa points out that Helium, the gns which will sustain the L Angeles during the observations was first discovered by spectroscopic ob- cs of the sun and l,t,r 1 ong and put to uii I servatiocs lieu uvivug man put to m, i. earth's own stock of element" '' BOY IS DROWNED MAKKHl'-liai).
