COMPARES HEAT OF STARS
Scientist Says Stellar Bodies Are
From 1000 to $1,000 Degrees
In Temperature.

During two years Rosenberg has
studied photographically the spectra
of the 20 most brilliant stars in the
northern hemisphere, from the first
TO the third order of magnitude. By
a comparison of their spectra it is
possible to deduce their tempera-
lures.
The results obtained agree well
with those of Wilsing and Scheiner !;
stars of the helim type are the hot
test. and the red stars are the cool
est. As Il specimen, the following
temperatures are quoted: Sirius.
$4,000 degrees; Vega, $4,000 de-
grees; AlgcI, $4,000 degrees; Arc
turus, 5000 degrees; Aldebaran.
1900 degrees.
From the aspect and relative dis
placement of the spectral lines an
idea may be formed of the pressure
conditions in the atmosphere of the
stars studied. Thus Adams has
found that in the light-emitting at
mosphere of Sirius the pressure is IL

POPULATION SHIFTING.

There has been constant and in
teresting shifting, since the two re-

of the various territories affected.
Most of European Turkey having
been partitioned among several diff
ferent Balkan states and new boun-
daries made, the nationals of the va
rious affected countries hastened-
some of their own free will and 9th

to shelter within the confines of the
newly annexed territory. For in

from Asia Minor and Thrace into

CASTE BARS MEDICAL AID
LowIy Social Rank Prevents Hospital
suecor for East Indian coolie
When Wounded.

Many people, unless actually fo-
miliar with the ways and customs of
the nati.a of India. have little idea
as to how superstitious many of these
people are, especially with regard to
their "easte" system.
Not very long ago a coolie, while
passing through the jungle, was Sc
verely mauled by bear. His COM
rades, however, although they knew
that few miles distant there was a
well-equipped hospital, conveyed him
to a village where he was kept with
out medical assistance and in blaz-
ing sun for three DAYS.
When eventually brought into the
hospital the mans plight may be bet
ter imagined than described. The
surgeon and his assistants managed
to keep hin, alive, but his face is so
disfgured that he is known in the
district as the ''reache wallah" (bear
man).
The most extraordinary thing
about this case is that the unfor-
tunate person was, during the time
he lay in the hospital, considered
by the fraternity to be unclean, with
the result that his own wife was,
through attending to his require
ments, thrown out of "caste."

What is a Fair Rate2

We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard OF anyone who did claim to
know much about 1t. but IL the pros
perity of the farm is q factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, We would prefer
that IL come to us through articles OF
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would
for example. prefer that the rate on
nOgs remain as az present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm.
er who will not try TO raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same. and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of Increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur.
den, but let the farmer who boards

who feeds his stock in foreign lands.

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-.
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should se
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers UnI

The recent action OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
Increase in freight rates In the eastern
classification OF territory; the applica-
tion OF the roads to state and inter
state commissions FOR an increase n
rates. and the utterances OF President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers OF this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare OF the farmers squarely- and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities OF tho
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands OF COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move.
ment of farm products. II in the wis
dom OF our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted. and the farmer IL
willing to share such proportion OF
the increase as Justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist
ance,
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the mann
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ.
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since We have had railroad com.
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning. are represented at every
hearing in which their business il
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result, the products
OF the plow bear an unequal burden
OF the freight expense A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product @ the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate OF
any necessary commodity in com.
merce, and the rate OH agricultural
products as whole is ont OF pro
portion with that of the products OF
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without leYying
further toll upon the products OF
the plOw. The instance seems to pre-.
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
OF freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

that ones own name, spoken by an.
other, can be distinguished, though
the rest Of the conversation Is unin.

in remembering just whom you've
been introduced to in a strange town.
Then comes the incident, leading up
to the moral. which is: What's the
Use?
Walking down the street the other
evening we met three young women.
Their faces were familiar, and we

other. His names Robinson. and he's
a fresh feller from the city that thinks
he can speak TO everybody whether

Fate so ordered II that ere our ears
had ceased to tingle we met three
other young women. strolling In the
same direction as the former three.
And, mindful Of our regrettable break.

that we did not know them. Therefore
we passed them as II they had been

HOW DOGS GOT THEIR NAMES
Substantial Reasons In All Cases for
Dividing the Canine Species Into
Breeds Well Known.

With dog shows everywhere to the
left Of us and to the right, at national
shows and the side shows, at outdoor
fetes, many women will be glad to
learn the origin of several popular
breeds Of the canine family.
It is probable that few lovers Of the
most popular dog OF today-the bull
dog-knOw whence he obtained his
name. He is called bull for the
reason that formerly his services were
employed in the driving Of cattle. The
dog was trained to meet the rushes OF
the bull by the simple expedient of
seiZing its charge by the most SEN
sitive part, the nose.
The spaniel. formerly one Of the
most popular species OF dogs, gets its
name from Spain, from which coun-
try the first breeds were sent to Eng
land, where TO-. long time they were
called Spanish dogs"
Some have thought that the fox ter
rier derived his name from the fox,
by reason OF his pointed fox-like muz-
zle, but as a matter Of fact the dog
vas not so named on account Of any
fancied resemblance to Reynard. On
the contrary the fox terrier is so
named because in the days when he
was much larger IN size and Of great
er strength than now, he was en-
ployed by English sportsmen to draw
and kill the fox. being sent down into
Reynard's burrow for that purpose.
