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.

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

Many believe the fifteen cars In j

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. ...

QftEfiON. 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- . . . .

- The grayish plains, somewhat re
semble old ocean bedsii the water

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

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

shimmering silver, with no irregu

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. . - -
