journalism has there been a PARALLEL

which thr press of the entire country
leaIed to the Chicago Herald's
"Christmns Ship, plan. Ii made
its first announcement to the chill
dreu of the United States On Sep
tember 5, 1914, in an editorial. 1t
was a very great undertaking, with
no particular idea as to how such
was to be managed The idea fash
ed like lightning all over the contin-
ent, everyone wanted to help, all the
prominent newspapers took up the
cause. The conception of a Christ
mas without Santa Claus for the
poor sufferers all over Belgium,
France, parts of Germany and other
stricken places in Europe was too
much for the American editorial
heart. Many of the great papers
pushed important reading matter
off their front pages in order to make
room for such a great work of
Christ" Hundreds focked to the
call with money, food. toys for the
ksddles, clothing and many needed
things, and inside of TWO months
the announcement was sent across

 tration to England

Washington, May 27.--Fresh impetus today was given the proposal to arbi- trate the Panama canal tolls dispute by developments in the Senate The foreign relations committee agreed to take up at its next meeting Senator Sutherland's resolution calling on the President to propose arbitration to Great Britain.

NEW LIGHT THROWN ON STELLAR EVOLUTION THEORY Professor spher Shows vrgos Nebua Theory of Origin of Universe-Nebula Approaching
 Earth at Velocity of 200 Miles Per Second

famous nebular hypothesis of the origin of the earth and the solar system Their appearance suggests rotation. but they are so far distant that even though rotating with yelocities of many miles a second. in centuries such motion toward adjacent stars would be inappreciable to the eye.
 "Spectrograms, like the speedometers of automobiles. indicate at once the speeds of bodies but the nebulae are so faint. most of them being invisible to the unaided eye, that only with the most powerful tele- scopes may spectrograms be obtained of them.
 This discovery of Slipher is interesting as throwing new light on the problem of stellar evolution and our origin. Although. the rotation was suspected, no guess could have been made as to it's magnitude which Sliphers spectograins probably will tell.
