VARIABLE STARS

Firetlies in great numbers flash above the meadow and attract us to the quiet beauty of the summer night. and they seem to be symbols of the fiery meteors which shoot across the heavens and proclaim the destruction of the smallest worlds of the solar system. Among the stars are firehies of a different order, which are no less attractive. They are the wonderful variab- les, thousands of which are al- ready known and others are " ntinually being discovered. Variable stars are grouped in different classes, according to the peculiarities of thelr changes in brightness. Some of them cover long periods of time, per haps hundreds of years, while others positively identified as variable, cover periods of only a few hours. The stars are suns in remote regions of space, and many of them far exceed our sun in brightness. Imagine such a star as our sun suddenly increasing iG brilliance thousands of timesl The planets which fly around it like moths around a flame would be s,orched so sud- denly that in an instant they would be turned to vapor. It seems certain then that the va- riable stars can have no nearby planets such as the earth.

HOLD COLT SHOWS

Arkansas must grow more colts, more horses and mules. Well informed men declare that two-thirds of all the horses ar d mules used on Arkansas farr s and on Arkansas streets were shipped into the state from Missouri and other states to the north. Why not start a cam paign for growing our own horses and mules as well as our own food and feed? Neighbor- hood colt shows are mighty fine things to encourage. Every owner of a registered pure bred stallion ought to put on a colt show every October. A public spirited banker or other business man or Farmers Union or a Farmers Club could plan and conduct a colt show. Cash pri- zes are not necessary-use rib bons. Try it. The College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas will help you by pro- viding competent judge for the show for actual expenses.

The man who can see no good in his fellow-man ought to fall off this earth and go to his place. There is no guess about where he ought to be and where he will go when he leaves here. The milk of human kindness has soured in him, his better nature has become perverted, his eyes inverted and his whole moral being turned aWry. He has lost confidence in men, has no real respect for women, looks ion God as a tyrant and death as an escape from thralldom. He is too coWardly to destroy himself, too abject to be honorable, too small Intellectually to bother about the weightier problems of life, toe contemplate to be mo- ticed and too apt to live out all his days. Such men may i C classed the "gad flies of life, !" calculated to annoy their betters, foment strife, run discord and bring misery on mankind.

How Film Producers
Get Odd Types Of
Humanity And
Properties

There are so many curious things
about the motion picture business
SO many odd angles to the production
Of film-that almost every day
there crops up something new. In
quiry was made to this department
as to where the many picture ac-
cessories. especially the curious types
OF human beings. are obtained. The
curious types are not regular actors
in special makeup. Nor do they
belong to any one producing COM
pany.
For instance there Is the chap with
the bushy whiskers of a Russian
grand duke who may be the grand
duke In a Famous Players produc-
tion one day, doctor in Fox film
the next and an interested bystander
In a World Film Corporation some
other day. This chap happens to be
a distinct typS and there are several
distinct types that are becoming
known to the motion picture patrons.
To find out about these things we
made inquiry Of Marie Roy, who hap
pened to be starting on a visit to
the Luh'n studio and she found out
about that and q number Of other
things-the way the Lubin people
get them, that Is. It Is reasonable
to suppose that other studios handle
their odd lot' extra list and prop-
erty list in the same way. Here is
what Marie Roy wrote for The
Times:
''Isadore Schwartz Is head OF the

the way. It was easier to get the

Partners Liability,

A unique question of liability in an
automobile accident case was decided
by the supreme court of South Dakota
in Van Horn VS.. Simpson, which held
that where defendants were copart-
ners and were riding in an automobile
in partnership business, the negli-
gence of the owner and partner in
driving the automobile was imputable
to the other partner, since as a mem
Der of the copartnership the owner
and driver was his agent, and both
defendants were jointly liable for in
juries to traveller upon the highway.
1t is pointed out that these two de-
PENDANTS at the time in question were
copartners in the real estate business,
and that this auto was then transport
ing both defendants in the prosecu-
ton of such copartnership business;
that 1t was then being used as an in
strument for the benefit and within
the scope of the partnership business;
that Simpson vas not passenger or
gratuitous guest of Anderson in said
car, but was party interested in the
purpose and business in which such
car was then being operated.
