Inclination to Return to

London, Aug. 23. The domestic
service problem, according to the
Ministry of Labor, is gradually be
coming easier, and girls are show
ing more inclination to return to
household service.
Further improvement is expected
when the domestic service training
centers organized by the London
County Council are in full swing.
One of these centers was opened
to-day in Hammersmith, and im
mediately all vacancies for training
were filed.
Training is free to all girls who
are receiving unemployment dona

special attention, being taught to
wait on table and to observe many
little niceties of service, such as not

SATURDAY EVENING,
MORMONS TRY TO
RECOVER HOMES
Mexican Squatters Refuse to
Turn Them Over to Old
Owners
Douglas, Ariz., Aug. 23. Some
of the several hundred Mormons
who were driven out of their colony
at Colonia Morelos. sixty.five miles
southeast of Douglas by Villa's
army of invasion in 1916 are en
deavoring to recover their homes
from the Mexican squatters who
have usurped them. About ten
Mormon families still live in the
colony but are not permitted to
occupy their own brick houses.
Mexican families are living in them
and refuse to quit, proclaiming the
doctrine of "Mexico for Mexicans."
Many other Mormons, disheart
ened by their reversals have begun
life anew in the United States. Ap
peals have been made to the Mexi
can government by the Mormons
without result. Recently the
American State Department asked
the Mexican government to drive
out the usurpers and restore their
property to them. The colonists
hope this effort will be successful.
DEMOCRATIC CLAN
IS TORN ASUNDER
BY WILSON POLICY
Washington Correspondent
Sees Disintegration
Approaching
That the Democratic party is
headed for a disastrous split over
the Wilsonlan policies and that the
split is bound to manifest itself in
the near future is the opinion of the
Washington correspondent of the
New Tork Evening Sun expressed
in a special dispatch to that news
paper.
According to the Evening Sun's
correspondent the split is bound to
come sooner than most people at
present anticipate and it will be of
a violence that will shake the party
to its foundations and make abso
lutely impossible the election of any
Democratic candidate in 1920.
The Democratic managers are
i alive to the seething discontent
within their party which is mani
festing itself in all sections of the
country and they are to-day fran
tically endeavoring to find means
for checking this and overriding
the growing opposition to Wilson
and all things Democratic.
While there is apparent calm in
some Democratic strongholds it Is
the dead and sullen calm before the
storm and it does not lighten the
lowering clouds which are sweeping
over the Administration from every
part of the land.
In Massachusetts the most prom
inent Democrats in the state have
openly repudiated Wilson and, it is
said, that many of them will even
vote the Republican ticket to show
their disapproval of some of his
policies.
In Missouri, Senator James A.
Reed, the most powerful Democrat
in the state, is revolting against the
President and has virtually been
read out of the party by the Demo
cratic State Committee.
The displeasure with which Ken
tuckians view the Administration is
indicated by the election of a Re
publican to Congress from a district
which is normally Democratic by
3,000 majority.
The frantic efforts of the Demo
crats of Alabama to retain for their
party the seat in Congress formerly
held by the late John Burnett Indi
cate that the Republicans' claim
that they will carry the Seventh
District is well founded.
There are many Democrats in
both the Senate and House who are
ready to abandon Wilson, and in
Texas former Senator Bailey is at
tempting to form a new Democratic
party in opposition to Mr. Wilson's
personally conducted Democratic
party.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, a
Democrat, charges the President
with cowardice in dealing with the
railroad situation and defies him to
pass the buck on the Brotherhood
demands to Congress.
Throughout the North there is a
campaign of denounciation of the
President's stand on the Irish ques
tion while in all sections of the
country business men In the Demo
cratic party are chafing at the
President's tendencies to put all
business under Government control.
As further evidence of the grow
ing dissatisfaction with the Demo
cratic party the country, as a whole,
has an idea that profiteering and
the high cost of living might have
been abated months ago had the
President stayed at home and at
tended to domestic questions instead
of spending his time in the clouds
with his League of Nations ideal.
As an evidence of the feeling
against Mr. Wilson within his own
party, it is stated that almost all of
the Southern Democrats in the Sen
ate and House cordially despise the
Wilson principles. They are for
States rights, they assert, and they
are opposed to seeing the entire
Government turned over to the
President
These are the signs, according to
the Sun's correspondent that are
plain to every politician in Wash
ington and they indicate implacably
the coming chaos In the Democratic
party.

Scientific Discussions
by Garrett P. Serviss
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
One of the most surprising of re
cent astronomical advances is the
accumulation of evidence that there
are many dark or black, cloudy-look
i ing masses scattered in some places
I among and over the stars, which
they partially hide like vast smoke
veils. This evidence is especially
I dut to E. E. Barnard, whose exqui
-1 site celestial photograph and whose
careful and thoughful interpretation
of the meaning of the strange ap
pearances presented by them afford
new conceptions of the universe.
The thought has long been fa
miliar to astronomers that the lu
minous clouds called nebulae rep
resent an early, and perhaps the
earliest, stage in the development
of stars; in other words, that the
stars are evolved of nebulae some
what as drops of rain are formed
by the condensation of water-vapor.
This comparison is Intended to go
no further than to suggest a vivid
conception of the way in which the
nebulae contract around nuclei, and
by contracting increase in density
until their substance is nearly all
concentrated into relatively small
spherical bodies, whose temperature
rises to the point of incandescence,
where upon they become stellar
bodies, or suns.
But how the nebulae while yet
in an expanded state are able to
shine, giving off light resembling
j that of incandescent gas. has al
ways been a puzzling question. This
question does not become any easier
of solution now that in addition to
the luminous nebulae others have
been found which are not luminous,
and whose existence might never
have been suspected if they had not
obscured other light-giving objects,
or relatively bright areas, behind
them. Even a faintly luminous
background suffices to betray their
presence, as a bat Invisible in com
plete darkness may be seen as a
shadow if it passes over a dimly il
luminated window.
In some places these obscure ob
jects appear like dark patches upon,
or even like holes in the starry
curtain of the Milky Way. _ That
they really were holes, or "wind
ows," was not long ago a widely
accepted explanation of the more
sharply defined among them, but
Barnard's later photographs render
this idea inadmissible. In some
cases, as in the neighborhood of the
nebulous star Rho Ophiuchus. the
dark, streaming curtains are slightly
translucent, so that the rays of some
of the multitude of stars behind
them pierce through.
Then. too. they sometimes appear
to be mingled with, or at least to
lie adjacent to luminous nebulae, so
that the conclusion seems Irresistible
that there is an evolutionary relation
between the two kinds —the dark
nebulae being, most probably, in an
earlier stage than the shining ones.
It would seem that the source of the
energy which eventually causes the
dark masses to become luminous —
if they do—must be in themselves.
Some change takes place which
gives birth to light. Or. the radi
ant energy spreads like a fire in
dry glass from the parts already
incandescent tc others yet dark and
inert Our span of observation is
too brief, probably, ever to enable
us actually to see the borders of a
luminous nebulae expand over the
adjacent parts of a non-luminous
one, but such an observation, if
made, would be decisive.
The most recent of Barnard's
photographs are truly amazing in
the deflniteness, darkness, and od
dity of the forms which they re
veal. Many of them are relatively
small in area, and these are as
sharply outlined, and as unconven
tional in shape as, say, the Caspian
Sea, whose queer look on the map j
was one of the influences that fired
Humboldt with a desire to explore
the world. A foretaste of this was
given nearly twenty years ago, but
not rightly interpreted then, by
Keeler's pnotograph of the great
conglomeration of stars and lumi
nous nebulae called "8-M" in the
constellation Sagittarius, where
many curious black spots may be
seen that look somewhat as if drops
of ink had accldently been spilled
pon the photograph.
The luminous gaseous nebulae ex
hibit spectra in which can be dis
tinguished only three telltale lines,
one of which has been identified
with the lightest of all the known
chemical elements, hydrogen, while
the others appear to belong to some
rare element or elements unknown
to us.
The existence of an element called
nebulium.*from its occurrence only
in nebulae, has been conjectured,
and the guess has also been made
that it may be the "primal stuff" of
which philosophers have dreamed
for ages, from which all other mat
erial things have been developed.
But the dark nebulae show no spec
tra, because they cannot, since they
give no light. Do they represent the
primal stuff at a still earlier stags
—at its very beginning? If they
do, then here we have struck bot
tom.
Northwest Demanding
Treaty Reservations
Washington, Aug. 28.—The entire
Northwest section of the country is
in hearty accord with the Republi
can leaders of the Senate who Insist
upon material reservations and
amendments to the League of Na
tions, according to Senator Wesley
L. Jones, of Washington, who has
returned to the capital from a visit
to his home in Seattle.
"The citizens of the Northwest,"
Senator Jones said to-day, "are
practically unanimous in their
sentiment for definite reservations
to the League of Nations very much
along the line of those now being
proposed by the Republican Sen
ators. Incidentally, that entire sec
tion is now Republican, through-and
through."

LONDON TURNS TO

Engineers Turn Attention to
Problem of Smoke
Consumption '
London. Aug. 23. Coal scarcity
and the uncertainty of the supply
for the coming winter are combin

sumption which, while saving fuel,
will serve to cleanse London's murky
atmosphere. To the present no
practical system that will come
within the purse of the average
householder has been devised, but
experiments along that line are be

London uses soft coal in prefer

the air is filled with long spirals of
smoke from countless chimneypots.
