Flagstaff, Ariz.. June 10. Ob
servations of the planet Mars which
have been in progress at the Lowell
observatory for four months, will
reach a climax tonight when Mars
panes through a point in orbit direct
ly opposite the sun from the earth,
and June 18. when it will be closer
to the earth by several million miles
than at anv time since 1009.
Dr. K. C. Slipher, director of the
Lowell observatory, in a statement
today described methods ' of
photography and charted hand draw
ings by which observers are collect
ing data concerning Mars, the planet
just outside the earth's orbit and,
with the exception of Venus, the
nearest neighbor of this world. Two
great telescopes are part of the equip
ment of the observatory, which was
built by Percival Lowell, during his
life an authority on matters pertain
ing to Mars. He died in 1916 and
left a bequest which he directed to
be used in carrying on his life work.
Essentials for Life.
Mars, according to Dr. Slipher,
shows existence of certain essentials
of life. "Water, atmosphere and
temperature above the freeiing point,
I believe have been amply shown to
exist on Mars, he said. "Further
more, to explain the changes in the
dark markings appearing in
photograps to wax darker in summer,
nothing tenable has been suggested
save life in the form of vegetation.
"On June 18, Mars will be J2.J80.
000 miles from the "earth. In 1924
Mars will approach closer, however,
by 7,700,000 miles, but closeness is
not the first essential to favorable
results. Long continued study of
changes in surface aspects are what
astronomers need and this approach
of the little ted planet has given thai
opportunity.

is 20 to 25 times the area of a full

Since January,- when Mars became

Grand Jury to Review
Valentino Marriage
Omaha Be Xail Wlr.
Los Angeles, June 9. District At
torney Thomas Lee Woolwine is not
satisfied with the discharge of
Rodolph Valentino on his prelimi
nary hearing on the charge of big
amy.
Therefore he plans to take the
matter to the grand jury. Sub
poenas were issued today for the
witnesses in the hearing before Jus
tice J. Walter Hanby, as the first
step toward opening the grand jury
investigation.
Valentino, before his divorce from
Jean Acker became final, married
Miss Winifred Shaughnessy, step-
J - t . - - f T I I FT.. J . f W-
uaugmer oi zucnara nuanui, in iviex
icali, Mexico, and returned with her
to California.
Valentino's dismissal, however, is
by no means the final adjudication of
this case, said Woolwine. Tm
afraid people will take this dismissal
as an example, rush into Mexico or
some neighboring state in the United
States, marry while still legally
wedded, and attempt to 'get away
with it.

Woman in Hupmobile
Takes Driving Contest
A Hupmobile won the distinction
of capturing first prist io the wo
men's driving contest, for cars not
over 115-Inch wheelbtst, which was
on of the features of the "call of
the open road" program recently
held in Lot Angeles.
The purpose of the contest this
having been the second annual one
for Lot Angeles is to (ducat the
motorist in those essentials that are
necessary to good driving under or
dinary traffic and road conditions to
the end that accidents may be re
duced and the loss of human life
brought to a minimum.
Although more women entered the
contest than men, a prominent spec
tator remarked: "If every driver,
whether malt or female, was com
pelled to take such a test before se
curing a driving license, there would
be far less accidents."
In the Los Angeles (vent, there
were nine contestants. After a stiff
oral examination covering state and
city treffc ruin, the contestants
were required to drive through a
figure eight outlined with stakes.
Then they had to pass a brake
test at 15 miles an hour and stop the
car within a given spare; the last
number and the most difficult one
was the parking at curb within very
restricted, space. In this event, the
timt consumed In getting the car
into parking condition and out of it
was an all-important factor.
The score of tht winner Mrs.
Bertie Randall in her Hupmobile
was 961.
Kenosha, Wis., adopted the city
manager plan at the January elec
tion. The council, of live members
elected at large for a term of two

It is doing the unusual everywhere. It gives the
silent velvety power of the six-cylinder car a new
meaning. Automatically lubricated even to the
piston pins. A new achievement in motor solidity.
As free from vibration at sixty miles an hour
as six.
