Are All Stars Inhabited?

DR.. Thomas Jefferson Jackson See,
the noted astronomer, recently told
Philadelphia audience that in his be-
lief all the stars are inhabited. If this
be true the immigration authorities
should take steps to discourage the
further development of the aeroplane.
We do not want to be overrun in this
country by myriads of Venetians from
Venus, mercurials from Mercury, sat-
urnine persons from Saturn, doggedly
determined invaders from the dog star
Sirius or milk peddlers from the Milky
way.
Nevertheless it is interesting to
speculate upon the probability of other
worlds than ours being Inhabited by
sentient beings. It is not safe, how
ever, to speculate too recklessly, lest
one lose his mind in the immensely of
the problem. Every now and then
comes forth an astronomical sharp
who declares that artificial canals
make Mars look like a chessboard, but
the other day a doubling Thomas Of
an astronomer declared that these are
merely earthquake cracks. Of course
he really meant Mars-quake cracks,
but let us waive that. If that is the
case there must be some Quakes when
Mars cracks open. Even San Fran
cisco or Messina could not hope to
compete with her-or is Mars a he?
At present writing neither side of
the Marsian controversy seems to have
scored. Whether Mars has been Pan
amazed to the limit by engineers or
split wide open by Mars-quakes prob
ably will remain forever, so far as
earthlings are concerned, a problem as
unsolvable as the one as to who struck
the late Billy Patterson. Still, we can
find delightful advertisement in read
ing the varying opinions of the star
gazers. Let them gaze and utter opin-
Ions and let us listen respectfully, but
don't neglect to plant your garden in
the soil of the only star which we
know is inhabited.

Dynamite.

Just now the biggest newspaper
story in the United States has to do
with dynamite. AS the trial Of the
men alleged to have been responsible
for the blowing up Of the Los Angeles
Times plant proceeds it may develop
into the most sensational story of the
age. Again, it may blow up as quickly
as did the dynamite bomb that
wrecked the newspaper plant and
killed twenty-one employees. The de-
tectives who brought about the arrests
are emphatic in their declaration that
they have conclusive evidence. On the
other hand, some labor leaders aver
with equal emphasis that instead of
there being a conspiracy to dynamite
buildings where nonunion labor is en-
ployed there is a conspiracy on the
part of manufacturers to wreck union
labor and that these arrests are an in
cident in that conspiracy.
In a case of such serious import as
this it is wise to await further devel-
opments. Already many unwise and
Ill considered expressions have been
uttered on one side and the other.
Under the theory of our laws every
man is supposed to be innocent until
he is proved to be guilty. It is report
ed that ample funds for the defense of
the accused men will be provided.
Able attorneys may be employed with
adequate retainers. This situation as
sures a fair trial. The courts must de-
eide the issue, not private opinion.
It is a safe assumption, however,
that organized labor has nothing to do
with organized murder. But organized
society has a duty to perform when
any individual or set of individuals
conspire to commit murder by the
dynamite route. The wrongs of So
ciety cannot be righted by the use of
dynamite, which is the towards weap-
on. Whether employed by capital or
by labor or by unauthorized misrep-
resentatives of either, the use of dy-
Mantle as 'redresser'' is and always
will be abhorrent to every person of
courage and character.

How Artificial Furs Are Made.

The raw pieces Of pelt are frozen
and tile skin carefully shaved off,
thawed and sent to the tanneries to
be made into leather. The frozen fur
which remains is allowed to thaw
slightly at the bottom. so that a small
part OF the hair is freed from ice.
This t1awed portion is then covered
with solution of rubber, which is
allowed to set.
The result is that large seamless
pieces of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin. These same artif-
c1al furs are said to be more lasting
than the real, because they are i'm
mune from the attacks Of MOTHS
Paris Nature.

The Garden.

To some hifalutin persons who own
country homes digniied by the name
estate the term garden means a
formally handicapped environment to
the house. To the most Of us garden
means the little plot of ground where
we plant lettuce, radishes, peas and
beans and set out tomato plants, ct
cetera. In town homes a portion of
the back yard usually is set off for
garden space. In the country there is
room for a bigger garden, and fire.
quently we find a half acre or so near
the house fenced in with wire or pick
ets-palings, if you prefer-and plant
ed to all sorts of vegetables for the
table.
The gardening season has arrived
and millions of citizens are planting or
cultivating vegetables for their own
use. In the big cities are other mil
lions, existing in flats or apartment
houses, who long vainly for an oppor.
tunity to plant garden. These I'M
fortunates truly are to be pitied.
One of the delights of living in a
small town or the open country is the
privilege of having a garden. Men
who are occupied most of the day in
Office, store or workshop are willing to
get up an hour or so earlier in sum-
mer so that they may work in the
garden. The exercise is beneficial, the
hoeing and spading induce deep breath
ing, and over and beyond all this is
the glory of producing something.
From the practical viewpoint gar
dening is beneficial also. How delight
full it is to go out into your garden and
pull up a bunch Of fresh radishes, clip
off a mess of new string beans, shuck
a few ears of sweet corn or dig some
beets to be boiled into pinkness that
rivals the Holsters hue! And how de-
icious they do taste! Besides, they
save you money.
All of us who have gardens like to
talk about them. We love to boast of
being the first in town or in our own
street to plant a garden. Sometimes
we plant too early and the frost makes
a replanting necessary, but that only
doubles the fun of it. What is home
without a garden, anyhow?
