SHOOTING STAR SHOWERS.
Beautiful Display Expected Before
End of the Month

Two big shooting star showers and
some little ones will occur between now
and the close of the month
This phenomenon marks the beginning
OF the summer streams Of particles which
extend around the sun and with which
the earth collides in its evolution
through space. Any one of the dark
moonless evenings after this evening the
careful observer will see an occasional
faint blush meteorite dart from a point
in the Northern Cross, move quickly a
short distance over the sky and then dis
appear.
Toward the close of the month a Very
bright shower will occur. This cannot be
well observed until after midnight. The
stars of this shower will move outward
i'll all directions from the star Delta and
pass slowly across the sky, leaving bril-
liant trails in their wakes.
Astronomers say that shooting stars of
any shower are nothing but little me-
teoric particles which are streaming
along in a great elliptic path around the
sun. When the earth in its motion of
more than eighteen miles second col
lides with such streams each particle is
burned up by its friction with our air,
and appears as bright, swiftly moving
Star-like object.
These star showers and the wonderful
variable stars, ever changing. growing
brighter and then fainter, are two of
the most interesting celestial phenome-
ma of this summers season. and we'll
worth watching for

CARE IN SELECTING MATE
A REMEDY FOR DIVORCE
Rev. E. B. Bagby Lectures on Mar
riage at Ninth Street Chris
tian Church.

Rev. E. B. Bagby of Fort Smith Ark,
who is spending his vacation in and
around Washington, lectured on the
| topic of Wedding Bells, or the Problems
of Married Life last night, at the Ninth
Street Christian Church.
No civilization can rise above the level
OF the home.'' he said This frivolous
age is largely responsible for the increase
in divorces The frivolous songs have
taken the place of the good old songs,
and such songs as My Wife Has Gone to
the Country have had their effect.
Marriage ought to be entered into
sweetly and in the fear of God. More care
in the selection of a mate will make
fewer divorces. Some fall in love acct
dentally. some fall in love contagiously.
but most of us fall in love cachuck! and
marry the same way.
Marry in your class I don't believe in
the Maud Muller method. Marry in your
own church or Sunday school. Never
marry with the idea of reforming man,
for If he will not reform for you before,
the chances are that he will not after
marriage.
''Courtship is like shopping expedi-
ton: just asking the prices Of things.
Marriage is like buying the goods and
paying the cash for them. with no chance
10 return tnem III not SATISFACTORY
Should the wife always obey the hus-
band? l answer no. 1 never ask the
bride such question.
Things that affect the home and make
marriage a failure are unnecessary ex-
penses. extravaganza. AS one young man
expressed it. We buy our goods on the
excitement plan-that is. We pay SO much
down, and the storekeeper runs his
chances of getting the rest Many homes
are broken up on trying to satisfy an
automobile taste on a street car salary.
DO not think your wife should be an
angel. as the Bible plainly teaches that
angels are not married nor given in
marriage 1t would be miserable to live
with a perfect person, as it would bring
out your own faults so much the more.
Mr.. Bagby will preach morning and
evening next Sunday at the Ninth Street
Christian Church. He was the former
pastor of this congregation for fifteen
years. He has been the pastor of the
Christian Church at Fort Smith, Ark.
for three years.
After the lecture an informal reception
to Mr.. Bagby was given Many old
friends met him and his wife.
