Sirius, the Dog Star, May Be the Con.
ter Of Attraction.
Astronomers once believed that the
entire starry universe revolved around
a center Of attraction, and the star
named Alcyone, in the group of the
Pleiades. was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center.
1t has long been known, however.
that Maedler's conclusion, which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars, was incorrect. and il any uni
versal center exists it has not yet been
discovered. In fact, many Of the stars
seem to be moving in straight lines.
some in one direction and some in an
other, and among these is our own
sun. But 1t is possible that further
observations will show that all the
stars are really moving in curved lines
In the meantime it has been found
that there are certain groups or sets
Of stars which appear to travel togeth-
err To what set, if any, the sun be-
longs we do not yet know, but De-
launey has presented reasons for
thinking that those stars whose dis
tances have been measured chat Is to
say, those which are nearest to usl
group themselves around Sirius, the
dog star, in a manner similar to that
in which the inner planets are group
ed around the sun.
II this be correct Sirius may posi-
bly, be the master sun of which oGl

BETA CONVENTION,

The Richmond chapter of the Beta
Phi Sigma fraternity will be much in
evidence at the state convention that
is to be held in Marion the week of
August the twentyfirst. 1t is thought
that the convention will be the largest
that has been held in the state since
the organization and many responses
have been heard from all over the
state and chapters out of the state.
One of the big events during the gala
week will be the ball game which is
between Marion and Ander-
son teams. Preparations have been
made to take care of several hundred
visiting members during the week and
a great time is assured. About twelve
members of the local frat" will at

MAKING THE BEST OF LIFE

1t is a great thing to greet the day
with a smile. 1t helps to make 1t
brighter for some one else.
Most of us are too much given to
worry. And most OF our worries are
without reason.
We worry SO much over the every
day trifles that when really big trou-
BILE comes along we have not enough
reserve force left to meet 1t.
Some people have the happy faculty
OF rising victorious over the petty wor-
ries OF life. Some one has said Il am
an old man and have had many trou-
bles most of which never happened"
This is indeed very true.
Some people are gifted with hap
pier and more cheerful temperament
than others. But there is no reason
why the melancholy man may not
change his point of view which is
merely a matter Of habit.
The man who lives his life cheer
fully without complaint rises steadily
in the scale OF happiness and strength
while the grumbler slips notch down.
ward each day and at last lies flat
on his back In the slough of despond
Isn't 1t funny how we worry over
the troubles that never come.
BY the readiness with which we
meet 1t, worry might be thought to be
our dearest friend.
Life is short, 80, for goodness sake,
let's make 1t cheerful as possible. The
grumbler is never at home any place
for he Is never wanted. 1t Is the
bright CHEEKY people who are popular
and have the right sort of popularity.
Trouble Is bad enough without be-
ing exaggerated, without carrying the
worries and i'll feelings of one day
over the next. without permitting them
to be a conttaHt wear and tear on the
temper and nerves.
Remember the happy hours. forget
the sad ones-as the goid-seeker
clings to the nugget and casts away
the dirt.
