Legislation At Dover

Monday, February 10th, the date fixed
as the last for new legislation, exactly
322 rev bills were introduced in the Cen
eral Assembly-194 in the House and 12s
in the Senate, due to the shutting off of
all new business at midnight.
The bills covered every possible sub
ject, and many of them were introduced
as precautionary measures to be followed
by amended bills later in the session.
Both houses remained in session until
midnight The rush of new business has
seldom been exceeded in the history of
the Legislature. While many of the
members of both houses departed early in
the evening enough remained in each
house to constitute quorum.
Just nine more bills were introduced
at the session than at the session of 1911
the total this year being 800, while fol
J 1911 it was 5S7.

scope and also through prism. The
prism breaks up the rays of light from
each star, and thus gives the spectrum of
every one. With the photographing Miss
Cannon has nothing to do. Her task is
to examine the Photographic plate
through magnifying glass. To the no.
vice the plate shows merely an indiscrim-
mate sprinkling of tiny horizontal
streaks. OF course the coors of each
star S speetrum-so beautiful when seen
through telescope and prism-do not show
upon the Photographic plate. But as it
happens the colors are not the important
part Across the horizontal streaks Of
the spectrum run at intervals tiny verti-
cal lines of greater OF less breadth and
intensity. 1t is these lines that are the
index to the constitution of the star.
These vertical scratches are the hero
glyphs which, dociphcred by such an ex-
pert as Miss Cannon, tell of chemicals in
the star S composition. They mean hy-
drogen, calcium heiium, iron, all the ele-
ments known to us and-as appears from
peculiar lines not familiar among those
made by earthly chemicals-they mean
some elements not yet discovered in the
earth. 1t will take about 2GOO photo
graphic plates s by 10 inches, to "cov-
er y the whole sky. Often the plate shows
two stars where it was though only one
existed. Many times the camera has
caught stars that had never before been
catalogued. The most wonderful plate
yet taken by the eight-inch telescope at
either of the Harvard stations, contained
81 stars in spot four by five inches.
- 1t might seem that examining an
hourly average of 200 streaks with yerti-
cal lines through them would not be in
teresting work. says Miss Cannon. 81
know that if my whole heart was not in
it, such IA task would be monstrous. But
they arcn t just streaks to me--each new
! spectrum is the gateway to wonderful
new world. In reading these plates,
Nofiu altef world opens up under my
eyes, territory that has never been explor-
ed before. People? | don t know. As
tronomers can t say, one way or another.
We can merely assemble all the informa-
tion we can possibly obtain-and then
draw deductions -

Presidents Daughter
in Wilmington

Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of Presi
dent-elect Wilson, will speak in Whining
ton next Saturday relative to the Ten
Hour Law for Women. The place of
meeting has not yet been announced but
will be arranged by the Public Opinion
Committee which is making elaborate
preparation for her entertainment. The
committee is composed of Rev. Charles L..
Candee, chairman and the Revs. R. J..
Jackson, Thomas p. Holloway, L. E.
Poole, Richard S. Monck Mrs. A. d.
Warner, Mrs. Elizabeth G. Robinson, Miss
Alice Smythe, Miss Anna Bird and Mrs.
Charles T. Curley.
Doubtless one reason why Miss Wilson
is such an earnest advocate of the Ten
Hour Law comes from the fact that it is
one of the progressive measures upon
which her father, Governor Wilson, won
his reputation as Governor of New Jer-
sey Governor Wilson was deeply inter
ested in and promoted the passage of the
Ten Hour Law Bill in New Jersey year
ago.

DsIawaye's First Observance
of Washington's Birthday

perhaps at this time the following ex-
tract from Montgomery S % "reminiscences
of Wilmington, may prove to be OF IN
terest to the readers of The Post. As
General Washington died on the four
teenth of December, 1899, we may safe
" assume that this was Delawares first
observance of his birthday.
"'On the 22nd of February of the same
year (1S00), funeral procession Tor the
Father of his Country was directed by
The Cincinnati of the State. Judge Bed
ford and Major Cass were masters of the
ceremony.
"Though the procession moved from
the Town Hall (Wilmington), preceded
by a military band detachment of the
. regular army led the way, followed by
nine young girls to represent the MUSES.,
and sixteen young ladies to represent the
States, all dressed in white with short
sleeves then fashionable, long kid gloves,
little book-muslin hats turned up on the
side with a black cocksde, blue kid Slip
pers, a black sash of broad ribbon over
the right shoulder, tied in bow on the
left side. In front was printed in large
gold letters the name Of a State.
Virginia led the Southern, Delaware the
! Northern States. In the outer hand each
one held a sprig of laurel; entering the
aisle it was deposited on the bier, say
ing, Sacred to the Memory Of Washing
ton. We deposit this laurel as an emblem
of his never-dying fame.
, Fortunately it was very warm day,
for no shawls were to be worn to hide
the dress. Citizens followed these State
representatives down Market street to
Second, and up French to the stone meet
/ ing house, (5th and Walnut streets) ,
where an address was delivered. -

age, who have left school and are unem-
ployed, and to those already at work who
are permitted by foresighted employers to
attend school part of the time.
The maximum minimum plan of
lesson assignment adopted in Superinten-
dent Canine S system is an ingenious ap-
plication of the principle - from each ac-
cording to his abilities. The pupils do
not all have the same amount to do. If
the average pupils of the class are as
signed - problems in arithmetic, for in
stance, the slower pupils are assigned
eight, ten or twelve typical problems,
while the brightest are asked to do 20 or
more. The same principle is applied to
geography and history, and to some eX-
tent to English.
Believing that the energies of the pu-
pills are unnecessarily divided and dis
sipated by the constantly increasing num-
Der of school subjects, Superintendent
Canine has devised plan of reducing the
number of studies. In the four lower
grades literature, history and nature
study, instead of forming separate sub
iects in the curriculum, are combined in
language work. Other similar com
binations are made throughout the course
As in many American cities, the school
work in East Chicago is by no means con
fined to the period of the conventional
school term. The principals and indus
trial teachers are engaged for the full
school year, so that they may carry OF
the summer work. In the summer session
pupils may make up deficiencies: an ex
eeptionally bright student may gain
grade; the industrial work is kept going
. Especially the home garden), and play
ground activities under the supervision OF
trained directors, are at their height.

"Corn Is King"

"CORN is KING. Last year the
cornfields of the United States yielded
the greatest crop in the history of this
country. 1t reached the enormous amount
of 3,l69, 100000 bushels, valued at sl,759,
00G. 900 The United States raises three
quarters of the world s crop of corn. Ac-
cording to the report of the Secretary of
the Department of Agriculture, the corn
fields of the United States, if combined,
would cover an area almost as large as
France or Germany, and one and onehalf
times the size of Italy. The two countries
that come next to the United States in
the amount of corn that they produce are

Delaware Woman Holds Worlds
Record Cataloging the Stars

What are the stars made off, This is
one OF the first questions asked by child
hood. In few years it is going to be
answered, say scientists. Harvard Uni
vcrsity, or, more specifically, Miss Annie
}. Cannon of the Harvard Observatory,
is solving the riddle that has puzzled man
through all the ages, solving it by means
OF a telescope, prism and a camera.
Since October, 1911, she has been at the
work. In about two years more she will
finish it and in something like five years
the Observatory will publish the results.
When Miss Cannon has completed her stu
lendous task one of the most vital
achievements of astronomy, ancient or
modern, will have been accomplished The
stars will have been analyzed, numbered
and catalogued
In two years the stars secrets will be
so well known at Harvard Observatory, il
is hoped, that when an astronomer writes
for information about the little pin-point
of light near the handle of the Dipper
for instance, Harvard Observatory will
simply turn to its card index. There are
to be about 100000 of these cards when
the classification is finished. They will
include every star that can be seen and
photographed through telescope and
prism.
Perhaps this seems a small number. -
said Miss Cannon, when she had been in.
duced to talk about her work for little
while, "but although people think they
can see millions of stars on clear night
as a matter of fact the human can discern
only about 1000.
In order to give Miss Cannon every pos
sble assistance in her task of analyzing
100000 stars her department at the Har-
ward Observatory has been reduced to Il
rigid business basis. When the work was
new, she could analyze at the rate of
1000 stars in three years. Now she ana,
lyzes 5000 starts in one month, 200 stars
an hour. On January l she had examined
about $4,000, which means about two
fifths of the work completed.
Harvard is the only place that has
complete material for this work, and Miss
Cannon is the only person in the world
man or woman-who can do the work SO
quickly - said Prof f. G. Pickering, di
reetory of the Observatory, in speaking
about the Importance of Miss Cannon S
achievement; "thc results will have a
bearing on a great many departments OF
astronomy, especially on the speed with
which stars move through space. -

photograph being taken through a tele

CirIs Compete In
Corn-lsrowing Contest

Last season few Oklahoma girls ex-
pressed desire to enter statewide
corn growing contest in which more than
500 boys were engaged. The judges ad-
mired the girls pluck and granted the re-
quest. The result was that one of the
girls, Esta Beaman, seventeen years old,
won the first prize Of 5000 in gold. Her
acre, on which she did all the work alone,
yielded ninety-fve bushels of corn, which
is about six times the average of Okla
homa. 1t was one of the best acres in
all the states where contests were held, al
though it was ON a hillside where there
are stumps and rocks, and where the soil
conditions are distinctly unfavorable. To
