MOUNT W I L S O N OBSERVA-
TORY, Calif., April 29.-(p)-The
radio amateur's dream of a set that
will pick up Mars fades into the in-
significance of a commonplace crys-
tal receiver compared to the set
being built here by Theodore Dun-
ham, Jr. He says he expects to tune
in the stars.
He does not hope to hear music,
so he has no loudspeaker attached.
But if the set works the results
will be music to the ears of as-
tronomers throughout the world.
Dr. Dunham is an astronomer for
the Carnegie Institution of Wash-
ington. His device has a photo-
electric cell for a detector tube and
is equipped with the most powerful
!apliying tues ever built.
light waves from stars trillions of
miles away, and the amplifying
tubes are expected to register a
delicate galvanometer by which the
temperature of the star under ob-
servation will be recorded.
In the past the photographic
plate, radiometer or thermocouple
have been used. In Dr. Dunham's
set the photo-electric cell will make
available a direct continuous record
of temperature.
The strength of the red and blue
links of the spectrum are measured
in finding star temperatures, the
proportion of the blue light to the
red light increasing as temperature
rises.
The device will at once be a ther-
mometer and speedometer of stars.
It is the atoms of the stars that
reveal these secrets. The spectro-I

'r WIGNT G1IS PLANi
FOR 'MOTOR' CITY
City Engineer Tells How Autos
Are Kept Fron Residence
Streets in Radburn.
Henry Wright, city planner an"-
consulting architect of New Yoi k
City lectured in the Architectural
school auditorium yesterday on the
"Economics of Land Planning with
Particular Reference to Radburn,
N. J., The Town for the Moto,
Age'."
The new method of planning i;
based on the modern problem of
the automobile, he said.rRadburn,
the 'Motor-Age City', he added
has a residential section free from
the noise and danger of foreign'
traffic. The homes front on 'blind'
streets, and their distinctive feature
is the basement garage facing on
streets in the rear. These rear
streets carry the city's main residen-
tial traffic. The noise and dust is
further removed from houses by
the extra floor needed to house the
garage.
The most sensible thing about the
coming city, he declared, is the,
complete absence of heavy pedes-
trian-auto crossings. This is due
to the use of tunnels and bridges.
"The whole innovation," Wright.
stated, "has been proved as highly
practical and advantageous to all
concerned. The close co-operation
of architect, landscape architect,
engineer, and city council has made
an idealistic plan a successful real-
ity."
Wright will deliver another ad-
dress tomorrow in room 110, Tap-
pan hall, at 8:00.
