OF STRATOSPHERE
Australian Scientists See
. Possibility of Exploring
High Levels by Means of
Newly Developed Device
Japanese Girl Slain
SYDNEY. Australia (UP) Radio
experiment Just completed by Dra.
D. F. Martyn and O. O. Pulley of
Sydney university have demonstrated
the possibility of exploring the en
tire stratosphere for a distance of
150 miles above the earth without the
necessity of further dangerous ascen
sions. Except for the possibility of ascer
taining whether the stratosphere con
stitutes a medium for speedy aerial
travel, the two Sydney scientist are
convinced that all necessary infor
mation about the earth's upper at
mosphere can now be obtained from
the earth Itself.
Under the system invented and
thoroughly demonstrated by Dr.
Martyn. the upper air can now be
probed by radio signals.
Hla new method give accurate
data on the amount of electrification,
the amount of ozone, and the tem
perature throughout the whole
thickness of the upper air from 22
Up to 150 miles.
Robot Does Work
The new type apparatus which Dr.
Martyn has perfected consist of
robot that sends out signal, catches
the echo, varies the wave lengths
and plots all the Information obtain'
d on a. tiny chart.
One of the first discoveries made
by Dr. Martyn with hi new inven
tlon was that there ta still another
cold layer of air far above the strat
osphere cold layer recently reached
by Russian and American balloon
lata. Between the two cold layers
tbere lies sandwiched a warm layer,
and It Is In this latter that Dr. Mar
tyn thinks that stratosphere flying
might become a possibility.
According to the radio records made
by Dr. Martin, temperatures again
dip in the second stratosphere above
the warm ozone layer, reaching a
minimum at 50 miles above the
earth's surface.
From these upward the tempera
tures increase till they end in a tor
lid zone at 150 miles of altitude.
Former Theory Upset
On this latter heated zone. Dr.
Martyn's radio reports contradict the
belief of Professor Appleton, who was
convinced this zone was hot only in
summer. Martyn' experiments show
that the seasonal drop la only from
1,300 to 1.000 degrees.
As a consequence. Dr. Martyn de
clares, that the earth Is perpetually
girdled by a fiery ring of Inconceiv
ably rarefied aJr, In which, necessar
ily, no human activity could ever be
hoped for.
Measurements of the upper ozone
how fluctuations exactly corres
ponding to barometric measures on
the ground, but antedating them. A
a consequence weather forecasts. Dr.
Martyn declares, can be made from
these radio probes of the air.
Australian authorities are so im
pressed with Dr. Martyn' findings,
that modern ozone measurer are
"now being installed at the Common
wealth weather bureau, the Solar
observatory at Canberra and at the
installation of the Council for Scien
tific and Industrial Research.

and the continent, Irish Free State,
northern Ireland, Chanel islands,
Western Isles of Scotland and the

Regular routes operated by Railway
Air Service will be increased to 62,
compared with 42 last year. The
500,000 miles flown last season are
expected to be doubled this year.
Service are confined entirely to
the British Isles.
New routes, on which large luxury
air liners will be used, link Inverness,
Perth and Glasgow; Glasgow and the
Isle of Man; Belfast and the Isle of
Man; Bristol and Cardiff: Leeds and
Bradford; and the Isle of Wight and
Brighton.
Flying times will be reduced, mak
ing It possible to travel by air from
Manchester to the Isle of Man in 50
minutes and from Liverpool to the
Isle of Man in 45 minutes.
Railway Air Services offer tickets
which permit the traveler to make
the entire Journey by air, or to use
part air and port rail and steamer.
Passengers holding a return railroad
ticket may pay a slight supplement
and travel by air. Special discounts

colleges.
Seven well-known educators will
comprise the faculty, President How

MONROVIA. Liberia (UP) Liberia
definitely favors the repatriation of
negroes from the United States, ac
cording to & statement made here by
President Edwin Barclay. The re
public's established principle la that
It shall always be an asylum for those
of African descent.
The statement came aa a result of
many Inquiries received by president
Barclay and the American minister
here, after the Virginia legislature
recently memorialized the United
States congress to permit the coloni
sation of 400,000 American negroes
who ha4 petitioned President Roose
velt for government assistance In
migrating to Liberia.
President Barclay said he had. re
ceived e-n inquiry from ft large Negro
organization of Chicago's south side,
whose aim is "to return people of
African descent to their motherland,
Africa." Mrs. M. M. L. Gordon, presi
dent of this organization, asked
President Barclay whether published
reports were true that he is not in
sympathy with the proposed whole
sale Influx of Negroes.
He denied this report and said the
only persons not desired In Liberia
were opportunists and political agi
tators. Since Liberia la self-governing,
he said, he would be compelled
to take a definite position regarding
the coming of organized groups hav
ing as their object the making or the
country as a base for International
antagonisms.
The type of Negroes that are wel
come In Liberia, said President Bar
clay, are skilled artisans, trained
agriculturists, business men with
capital, and young physicians willing
to go into the Interior and develop
the aborigines. He advised that all
prospective immigrants communicate
with the Llberlan government before
making final arrangements for sailing.
