under-age chorines put of the
lounges.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The mass of the moon is 81
times less than that of the earth.
This is due partly because of her
smaller size and partly because
the materials composing our sat
ellite are on the average only
three-fifths of the density of the
earth. *
A man weighing 144 pounds
would weigh only 24 pounds on
the moon. An athlete who has
won honors for his running high
jump of 78 inches could, without
any greater effort, jump 39 feet
on the moon. Probably this small
er attraction on the moon’s sur
face explains why the lunar
mountains are much higher than
ours.
The moon influences the motion
of the earth around the sun. When
the moon is in advance of the
earth, or at third quarter, the
moon’s attraction quickens our
motion around the sun. Our mo
tion around the sun is retarded
when the moon is behind the
earth, at first quarter.
U. S. To Mark South Pole
WASHINGTON, (4) ■ — The
United States will set up a per
manent bronze marker this winter
at its station next door to the
South Pole.
" The disc will show that the
station is at latitude 89 degrees,
59 minutes, 6 seconds south, lon
gitude 24 degrees 8 minutes west,
or 1,650 feet north of the South
Pole.
The U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey will erect the marker. The
location was determined from 52
sets of astronomical observations
made during the Antarctic’s long
night by Major Palle Mogensen.
He was the American scientific
leader during the International
Geophysical Year.
Major Mogensen made his ob
servations through a slot in the
roof of the station hut. At times,
the temperature was 100 dqgrees
below zero outside the hut, and
zero inside the hut.
