ance people agree that such sale without license and in
violation OF law should be prevented. Probably every
State OF the Union has a law intended to prevent
breaches OF peace by requiring person who has
broken or who threatened TO break the peace to give
security to keep the peace. In modern times THIS pro

hypothesis especially any more than they do what s
technically called the nebuar hypothesis. (see Ennss
"Orign OF the Stars) The relations among the orbits
of the asteroids TO which Mr. Proctor refers may be at
