If War Comes Measurement Of Meteor Speed Explained By Harvard Professor; A new means of calculating the+ speed of meteors was found recently when Dr. Fred L. Whipple, of the Harvard College Observatory, exam-' ined the bothersome vibrations of the' motor used to drive star cameras, ex-' plained Dr. Whipple in a paper read' before the 16th meeting of the Ameri-+ can Astronomical Society at the University of Michigan. The Harvard Observatory main- tains a battery of cameras which are trained upon the skies to record "shooting stars" which flash across the sky. The cameras are turned once a day by motors and remain pointed toward the same stars. Thus. any. star.. will show on the film as a ' point, while a meteor will make a trail across the film. On one such trail, Dr. Whipple found sidewise wiggles corresponding to a movement of about 20 feet. After a careful examination of the camera which took the picture, he found that the wiggles were caused by vibrations of the camera motor every 16th of a second. Knowing the rate of vibra- tion of the motor, he was able to de- termine the speed of the meteor The Girls Are Wearing Them Tight This Year KANSAS CITY-~ (P) -The tele- phone in a local hospital buzzed.
