In such manner We would expect
that the tail would trail behind whlio

theories have been suggested MS all

KepIer taught that the matter OF
which comets are composed was re-
PEELED by the sun. He believed that
light consists of minute particles eject
ed from the luminous body in all d.
rections, and that these particles hit
the dust grains In the comets and car

did not accept this explanation he
thought that the refusal of the comets
tails to comply with the law of gravi-
tation and turn toward the sun, was
only apparent. He compared the tails
of comets to smoke rising from a CHM

smoke ought to fall to the ground. but
they rise. he said, into the air.
The explanation now accepted is that
the light waves exert a pressure upon
the comets strong enough to drive the
lighter. gaseous particles away from
IT and out into space. The same power
of the suns light is constantly operat-
ing against the surface of the earth

There were $500 marriages. which means
about one divorce for every mar

Speaking for the entire country there

Various Views have been expressed
as to the moral significance of the

1t appears less of an evil than to 9TH

and con, the fact remains that the In
crease in divorces indicates a growth
in marital infldelity and indifference
to the obligations of married life. 1t
means that men and women are de-
