' PROBE IS ASKED CHICAGO, May 18 ) Two grade school buildings, built less than five years ugn ut a cost of approximately $flou.000 each, have been ordered closcti following a statement of engineers that they were unsafe for occupancy. H. Wallace Caldwell, president of the board of education, urged Stale's Attorney John A. Hwanson to make an investigation Into cir cumstances surrounding the schools' construction. . Thirteen other schools of tho same type were regarded by the engineers as safe for the present, but will be kept under close scrutiny to prevent further dete rioration. Nineteen olhem were considered safe, but were said to show faults In almost every branch of construction. The, condemned schools, tho en gineers sain, showed faulty design, poor materluls, poor workmanship, und neglect of specifications. Both were of reinforced concrete construction. Caldwell said.

STEDFORTJ MSIE S New York Losing Streak In creased to Five Games Cubs Regain Ascendancy in National League By Beating Reds, 9-3. By tho AHMovbtttM Pitch. One short wek ago fans the country whether ovr were wondering the Yankee stampede, was on ugnln. Now they know. Seven days since, the cham pions, riding on u wave of hitting. were reducing the fortifications of the west as the Mackmen fal tered along the line of march. The Browns not only had lost their single skirmish against the Ath letics, hut hnd fallen back three times beforo heavy Yankee can nonading. The champions then moved agalnxt Detroit to put down a silly Tiger rebellion, at which moment things began Ioj happen Tho home fans saw the New York losing streak increased ' to five at the Yankee stadium yester day as Kd Morris and tjie Bed Hox dropped the champions by G to 3 in a 12-runnd battle, BUI Began tied the1 game with a single- In the eighth and Won It with- a triple in the twelfth when he sent two ma tea scampering home. Wulto Hoyt conceded an edge to Morris throughout. Bob' Cirove pitched the Athletics to a 4 to 1 victory at Washington and the Drowns nosed out the In dians by a 7 to G score at St. ouls. - Old Hed Fnber was too much for the Tlgersi and the White Sox won the second game of the series 6 to 2 The Harris forces maintained ' their virtual tie with the Yankees, but both flropped to a point one and one-half games behind the flying macks. The hammer-and-tongs brawl In the National league saw the Cubs regain tho ascendifncy yesterday. They celebrated their flint good road trip In years by going home to trounce tho Beds, 9 to 3. Young Hay French outpltched the veteran Alexander to halt the Cardinals by 6 to 2 ut Forbes field, and the Ited Birds fell back to n position half a game behind the Bruins.: The Brooklyn losing streak was mysteriously broken In Philadel phia, 14 lo 13. but grnvo doubt existed regarding the outcome until tho Inst man was retired in the ninth, when a Phllly rally fell short with tho bases filled at the finish. The Giants had the scare of their lives at Boston, but tho Braves were unnble to find tho oild run this time. The elan Mc Graw hammered John Cooney for four runs in the 10th to win by 9 to 5, for FrtTd Fltzslmmons, res cuer of tho veteran Carl Mays of I,oulsvlle.

MEDFORD, GOODRICH FLAGSHIP FINDS HEAVY GOING J Many believe the fifteen cars In j the uooaricu Stiver Fleet, on a I year 'a tour of the United Rtatea to demonstrate tire care to motorlits. are finding; tilings "pretty soft." h la true, but not In the way that it la meant. Here Is one of the muny atietchea of "soft going" along the route. The flagship Is out In ad vance. It got through and signaled the other cars to follow. The Silver Fleet, organized by the B. F. Goodrich Company of Akron. Ohio. Is equipped, with Goodrich Sllverlown tires whose performance records are being accurately check, cd. It Is expected that their mile age will be greatly Increased by reasonably watchful care. At leaBt twice a day the pilots have a "tire drill," checking the air pressure and examining the wheels, to see that they are In proper alignment. Under-inflatlon and over-inflation of Ihe tires cause them to wear out long before they should. Improper wheel alignment, resulting In wob bles, causes the tread to wear un evenly, .putting a strain on the weak spots. ..By a vigilant watch over pressure and wobbles, the Sil ver Fleet plldts are greatly reducing the tire-mile cost of the 30,000-mile tour. ...

SATURDAY, Moon Not Made of Green Cheese; Discovery Made by Use of New ' Telescope Installed by Reimer (By Km est Hostel) I The moon is not made of green cheese or"ls there a man in- the j moon, a view' of that heavenly j body through a five-inch Alvln j Clark telescope reveuled Wednes-: day nfght at the home of Pro-! feasor F. C. Kelmer of the South-j ern Oregon . Experiment station, near Talent, . The telescope wasi only . recently acquired . by Prof Itelmer, and la the largest in southern Oregon,.- haing magnify ing powers .as 'high aa 375 dlamo- ters and as low as 60. Prof. Reimer has taken up a serious study of astronomy, to gether with. Chester Fitch, 'well known orahardlst residing west 'of Phoenix.- and it Is not uncommon to see' ' these : two men together on many clenr night.-peering at the , heavens, gaining u better knowledge of the upper spaces with their millions of stars., plan ets and moons. Before, the new telescope was received, a three inch glass, owned by Mr. Fitch, was found of much use In sky explorations, und for Its size re garded as one of the best in this section. In a description, of the moon bv Prof. Kelmer, It waa learned Its diameter la equal to one-fourth; that of the eurth, and if viewed from a nearby planet Venus or Murs the moon :und- the earth would appear . as two cloae stars. Both Jupiter and .-Saturn have moons larger than the. earth, but Jupiter Is over 1000 times larger than the earth and Saturn rnaks next to Jupiter. The.-moons of Murs pre small and Mercury and Venus have none at-nll. . The moon Is .over 220.000 miles away,, but with- the aid ;0t teles copes, found : in the-; largest-, ob servatories, is brought -within com paratively short distance of the earth, aa low aa 60 mllea.- How ever a' giant 200-Inch .telescope, now under construction, will bring that body within nine miles Moon and Karth Afrinltlra. With the nearest planets mil lions of miles distant nnd otnra many times that distance, the short distance to the moon is of great benefit In studying its physi cal features: The moon and the earth, explained Prof. Itelmer ind Mr. Fitch, are closely related thru the force of gravity. 'The gravity of the earth has been given this credit for stopping axial- rotation of the moon, and the- latter is given credit .. for.-, regulating the tides of the earth by Us .force of gravity.- The waters fall and rise regularly every 12 hours and 26 minutes. ,. .. , : v The moon ..rotates . about , the earth once in 30 days, .taking, this time to i. go through, its various phases, and aa a result the moon country has duys and nights each of two weeks. The moon Is deud nothing else . than ' a mighty wustelnnd, having no atmosphere and no moisture. Its temperature Is frigid in Its inky black shad ows. , . . - A view through Prof.. Relmer's telescopes discloses craters, rung, Ing from five and six miles In diameter. and over. CO nnd some astronomers have , clnaslfied the larger . ones -. and . know each by name. Although moisture Is 'not believed to be present by most, theories have been advunced there -. still considerable, dampness lodged ,ln the deep cavities of the Circular : mountains and .that this dumpness ascends when the sun rises, outlines of the cavities being slightly blurred until the mist Is banished. . With the glass, the gray areas of the ,moon con be easily seen nnd cover two-fifths of Its nrea. They, are seemingly smooth and apparently lower than the sur rounding country, while the re mainder of the moon Is rough thousands of round pits fringed by lofty ramparts of circular mountains. The rough areas arc particularly Interesting through the telescope when equipped with an eye-piece magnifying .250 dia meters. . r- . . . . Sean F.vanoralc., .. . - The grayish plains, somewhat re semble old ocean bedsii the water having evapornted centuries ago and scientists Kuy the earth Is due for the- same treatment In the pnssnge of several millions . or hundreds ot minions oi years. v.. olent observers gnvo these smooth places names and the eye thru the ' telescopo can wander Inter estedly over the "Sea of Showers," rim sea of Tranquility." "The ..n nf Clouds." "The Sea of Nec tar." "The Oulf of Dews," "The i.-enn of storms," nnd others. . Astronomy text books say the most prominent moon . mountains are known as the Apennines, ex tending In n continuous curve for 460 miles north of the moon cen ter, forming an- Impressive shore lino for "The Sea of Showers.' Itunntng northward, above the Annnines. Is the Caucasus range. nnd east of the Caucasus, are the Alps The latter two are far less conspicuous than the Appennlnes, not being as high .and not having tiro' 8000 -or more steep and rug ged peaks. . The Alps are noted for' a remarkable flat-bottomed valley cutting .througn tne m..u.. nm for a distance of SO mllea. The IJehnlta and Doerfel-moun-talna are on the southern part 4 hn mnnn near the nole. They are so "situated that the light of 'the mm always shines on their summits. Their needle-like po;nls are as high as 26.000 feet, nnd if they were on the enrin in propul sion, they would be . higher than 1$ miles. The mountains can be best on served through a telescope nt the first ana last quarter, and per haps can be best appreciated when the moon Is still a crescent In the western sky. Cratrm Numrron-. prof Kelmer's telescope reveal ed craters to be so numerous that, perhaps In some localities a visitor could walk for hundred of miles and step on nothing but rrnter rims. " If. through some chance, life had ever been on the moon., the moon-belnf would have MAY been one-sixth as heavy as the earth-be ng and would have been able- to jump six times as high. In that case, a .Lunarian might have been able to surmount the minor obstacles by jumping over, them, According to deductions, made by F. Armstrong Crondal. an eastern astronomer. The moon resembles a huge mud ball with all Us little pebbles carefully picked out, Jeaving de pressions through all of Its ir regular surface. . . A crater . six miles In diameter may be easily seen In a small telescope, but there are estimated to be thous ands a. mile and less In diameter. The deepest of the moon's cra ters is Theophilus on the edge of the circular sea. Mare Nectaris, and it can be best seen when the moon Is in Its slender crescent. The walls arjtxe from 14,000 " to 18.000 feet above its surface. The walls of this amazing cavity slops gently toward the outer plain, but rise steeply from tho Inner floor, measuring 4 miles across. Three lofty cone-shaped mountains rest In the center, and their shadows fall -to the left. One mountain is 6000 feet high. ' - Other craters have been named Copernicus, Arista rch us, Kepler, Gassendi, Orlmatdi, Archimedes. Arstillus. C a 1 v i u a, Tych nnd Plato. Plato Is easy to find, is huge and. ohlong and f contains 2700 square miles of surface. Prof Ttelmer and Jlr. Fitch are of -the belief the moon-is ap proaching the earth, but the ap proach lsonly a platter of Inches each Tyear, but In 4 ho. passage of time, a fot)lsloh between , lit, earth, and rrioon may occur, and the Im paot woid mean 4be -end f both. Some Jatfoiiomors aVe of 'the te llf th1 injpon iya j (formed when the vurtn 'was In" the forming and was thrown off when the earth was fokatlng'at an litimense rate of speed, 'making'' revolution In three hours for, the tome work now dono in 24. The throwing off of tiha mass caused the . bed' of the Pacific ocean, hut this, of course, Ih only theory, and as far as life on the world Is concerned, the moon an tedates it for thousands, and thous ands of centuries. . . , . It appears old. through the telescope and Its plains are like shimmering silver, with no irregu larities to break up their smooth curvature. Saturn Seen. Jn addition to looking- at- the Ulnar sight, Prof. Reimer also directed the telescope toward Sat urn, lf 881,000.000 miles .from the sun und with u diameter of 73 700 miles, nearly 10 times the size of the earth. Its rings could, be plainly seen and on these rings the earth could move with plenty of room to spare. ; The rings are made up of flying fragments, none of which are more than four miles In diameter, and cover many thousands of miles. Another Interesting sight- was the ring nebulae, a faint glow In the sky, , which astronomers - be lieve Is either ' a planet , being formed or breaking apart, Itv is difficult to find, but was located with no great trouble by Prof. Reimer. Its distance , Is hardly known, but Is so far away that ItH. light would take - many hun dreds of years to. reach the earth. In the case of the sun. light reaches the earth In eight minutes from a distnpee of 03000. 000 miles. The sun has a diameter of 886,000 miles, causing the earth to appear very small in compari son. . . Prof. Reimer has had the new telescope only 10 days, but the use to which It has already been put Indicates It will be extensively used by him and Mr. Fitch In fu ture joint studle of the heavenly bodies, with which both are well versed. . - - L AT LAKE 0' WOODS ASHLAND, Ore., May IS.
