This question, it Is pointed out, arose frequently during the World war In connection with Spain. Cases were reported in which German submarine captains who had sunk Spanish merchantmen were later forced to seek food and fuel in Spanish ports.

In one case at Santander the police were obliged to protect a submarine crew from an angry Spanish mob. The objectors in the American delegation likewise assert that there were several cases on record during the World war where a submarine captain was able to claim that he had been menaced by the ship he had halted.

"If the federal government approves these routes." he said, "we will known how to budget properly for them.

If it does not, a different course will have to be taken. Until the government decides we can do nothing." Warns Of Discord The chairman warned the delegates against "permitting factional fights to develop, which might in turn divide the commission and prevent a unanimous action on a progressive road plan." Several speakers. Including W. J. Ptrode, Miami, and Ernest Hall, Phoenix, immediately called the commission's attention to the fact that the whole trend of the meeting and every address made were merely favoring inclusion of the roads in the system; that no other routes had been depreciated nor had expenditure of funds on them been protested, and that the only "factional difference i which has been developed has come from these telegrams you have read: we want the responsibility for the sectional viewpoint placed where it belongs."

Dr. Robert Aiken believes, In the realization of the increased size of the solar system. Dr. Aiken is a noted astronomer at Lick observatory at Mt. Hamilton, near here.

Dr. Aiken said that the most significant fact, of course, is that the planet is there. It explains some of the irregular motions in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus and demonstrates that little family of worlds is not such a pony thing, as modern telescopes have made it appear in comparison with the known universe. The discovery, however, will not. in Dr.

Aiken's opinion, modify existing theories of the probable origin or nature of the solar system. Some elieve that planets are still growing in weight, if not size, due to the continual dropping of meteors and Stardust on their surfaces. As they are cooling, meanwhile and hence, contracting, the size perhaps is not Increasing. The other older supposition is that the sun and planets were thrown as molten globes from the original nebular and that what was left became the sun. This supposition, carried led to the suggestion that the moon may have been thrown off from the earth as the earth was by the sun.

Students of astronomy have agreed that no positive verification existed for their theories and hoped that future discoveries would supply this lack.

After making three telescopes, grinding out the lenses by hand, he went, in January, 1929, to the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz.

The commission advised this section of road has not been incduded in the budget for the current year but that consideration would be given to the road when the budget for 1930-31 was made up in May.

Speaks Of Opposition Mr. Strode declared that "active, almost vindictive opposition has arisen to improving this road, and we must take cognizance of it and then take such action as we can to counteract it." Gustave Becker, who generally Is credited with being the "father of the central highway route," spoke briefly, saying that while lie believed all interested persons should help the highway commission in any way they could to further the road program, he also thought some way should be found to expedite inclusion of all five sugested routes in the federal aid system. L. J.

Coburn of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce good roads committee said he believed this plea bridge across the Colorado river, was answered by Miss Grace Sparkes, secretary of the Yavapai Chamber of Commerce, who read a telegram from the federal road bureau listing a score of federal aid highways in a dozen states, all having toll bridges somewhere in their distance. Telegrams Of Protest Other telegrams of protest were read from the Tucson Chamber of Commerce, the Yuma Chamber of Commerce, and the Gila Bend Chamber of Commerce. Ham Keddie, manager of the Yuma chamber, spoke before the commission on the necessity of first improving the Phoenix-Yuma highway, but was reminded by the commission that It had no intention whatever of failing to fulfill its promise of having the highway completely oil-surfaced V-y November 1. The commission, referring to a plan for general road improvement which it had under consideration and radios. such suggestions should be sent directly to the observatory.
