Charles Craigun. formerlyinstructor in music at the University,and an old friend of Breen's, arrangedthe melody, and McKinley is publish¬ing it.“The thing that makes my song¬writing seem strange even to myselfis that my work can scarcely be in¬spirational to music—and still it hasproven so,” explains the poet-com¬poser. “ ‘That Old Highway’ is thefirst piece of music I have ever at¬tempted.” One half of Mars is as dry as theSahara desert it was revealed in aspectrum study of the fiery planet re¬ported yesterday in the astrophysicalJournal of the University. This study,conducted by Walter S. Adams andCharles E. St. John, at Mt.

Wilson and three per cent of thatover Pasadena. California. Accord¬ing to the scientists this indicates ex¬treme desert conditions over thegreater portion of the Martian hemi¬sphere toward the earth at that time.The oxygen in the atmosphere of Marswas found to he sixteen per cent, areafor area, of that over Mt. Wilson, orabout two-thirds of that in. the earth'satmosphere above Mt. Everest. By Reese H.
