The most striking of our evening con stellations is now the beautiful group Leo, which shines almost exactly on the meridian in the south. Above this, we find the whole region about the zenith covered by the Great Bear, which has now attained it's highesG position in the heavens, while below Leo the very long Water Snake stretches two-thirds of the way across the southern heavens bearing the Cup and the Crow on it's back
 : The observer who is familiar with the brish conscientious will find it most interesting to trace out the Lesser Lion, which is made up of all the faint stars lying between Leo and the paws of the Bear at E and F, Figure l. And to the west of this he will find the equally faint Lynx, a quite extended group, including all stars from Leo Minor to the region II, Figure l. This constellation is quite re marllable for the large number of double stars which it contains; there are no less than 50 of these which are visible in quite small telescope. The star at K. for example. is made up Of two beau tiful suns, three seconds apart, of which the larger is greenishwhite and the fainter one blue. A somewhat similar

How to Safely Peel Your Face

 If you wear an aged, discolored or weather beaten complexion, the most sensible thing to do is to remove it-- rather than patch it over or doctor it with cosmetics. The only way to really remove the complexion--aside from re- sorting to an expensive and painful surgical operation--is by means of ordi- nary mercolized wax. Spread the wax over the face at night, as you would cold cream; wash it off in the morning. This gradually peels off the lifeless and the half dead outer skin, in minute par ticles-gra dually the fresh young skin beneath beams forth Then you have a a +such as nos unnatural method can pos sibly produce. Freckles, ,.blotehes, pim- ,e s---ell surface. defects due to weather, i'll health or the rayages of time, of |course,5 disappear with the discarded skin.

Mars is still in excellent position for observation, but it is steadily receding from the earth. It's distance from us

beautiful double pair is in Leo at L., while the brilliant Regulus has a deep blue companion, one minute away, which is itself double sun.
 THE APRIL STARS
 To the east of Leo there is the very large summer group Virgo. which for the first time this year is seen to have completely entered the evening sky. The beautiful Spica is the most striking ob- ject of this constellation. This remarll- able star is now known to be revolving about dark and unseen companion with speed of 56 miles second. It thus passes completely around it's orbit, which is six millions of miles in diame- ter, in the course of only four days. The system is very like that of the we'll known Algol, at M, Figure 1, but the path of Spica lies in such a position that we never see the dark companion pass between the bright star and us and so cut off it's light, as so frequently hap pens with Algol. It is in the region N of this constellation that there are found more Of those wonderful shining clouds called Nebuas than in any other equal area of the sky.
 North of Virgo the observer will at once notice the great golden star, Arc turus. This is at the foot of Bootes,

A NEW PERIODIC COMET

There are two new comets now in our northern heavens, both of which are eX- tremely faint objects and only visible in larger telescopes. Nevertheless the first of these is of great interest because it has been found to be following so very small an orbit around the sun that it is destined to continually reappear in our heavens in the years to come. Many most interesting speculations arise from study of these periodic comets, espe- cially when they move in paths so small that they may be observed from the earth during a great part of their motion.
 The path of the new periodic comet is shown in Figure 1. Ii was discovered at the Cape of Good Hope on last De- cember 2 at which time it was very near

WESTON HEARS FROM
GOOD ROADS MAN
President Robinson Says nat Proposed Ap.
psrtisnment Is Purely Tentative.

Pendleton, Or. March 13.--(T,o the
Editor OF The Leader. )--Will you per-
nit me 10 use some OF the space In
your very highly esteemed paper 10
answer q few OF the arguments set
forth last week against the proposal
TO Issue bonds for building perma-
nent hard surface roads in Umatiila
county?
The apportionment made at the last
meeting at which Mr.. Mackenzie and
Mr.. banister were present was mere
iy tentative. II was not conclusive
and will not be conclusive until the
county court makes the order calling
the special election for the primary
date. In fact. another meeting has
been called for Saturday, March is.
to reconsider this same appOrtion-
ment. The apportionment was made
for the purpose Of getting a basis
upon which to work. The county
court is not bound by this apportion-
ment. nor Is II bound by any appor-
tionment the committee may make.
IT seems to me that II the people
would look at this matter in the right
light they would readily see where II
would be to their Interests to get In
and try 10 get reasonable and accur-
ate and satisfactory outline OF roads
and road improvement rather than
announce a determined opposition to
thing which is merely tentative.
But while on this subject let mo
call your attention to the fact that
state aid must naturally assist in clos
ing up any gaps left In the road
building II our money should be found
insufficient That Is the purpose and
object OF the state road tax and II Is
just exactly what is now being done
with the money. Umatilla county
will never get any OF this money and
assistance unless we do something in
that tine ourselves.
Did your people oppose the con-
struction OF the rnacadam road? Do
they now want Il torn up and removed
because there Is a gap unfinishedg
Don't they know that gap Is going 70
be closed up? You have the only
semblance OF improved road IN Uma-
tflla county and you and your tax
payers must admit that poor as II Is,

has been paid for by road tax from
all parts OF the county. And now for
you and your taxpayers 10 say that
the people Of Echo, Hermiston. Stan
field, Pilot Rock. Helix and other sec
tIons shall have no improved roads
at all seems 10 me to be entirely
wrong.

well that every foot OF the present
