NAKED EYE CAN SEE
SOME PLANETS NOW
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Sat-
urn Giving the World a
Good View.

The sky Just now presents many
interesting features to those who may
have only a slight knowledge of the
movements Of the stars and planets,
and from shortly after dusk until
about Q o'clock four of the planets
of our solar system are visible in the
sky to the naked eye. They are the
planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Sat-
urn.
Venus is now quite bright in the
southwestern heavens, but as 1t is not
yet very high it must be observed
early in the evening. This planet is
almost as large as the earth, and its
orbit is between the earth and sun,
Somewhat higher in the heavens and
looking almost as bright, although not
Of as whitish color, Jupiter, the, giant
OF our planetary system, may be OBJ
served. More than eleven times the
diameter of the earth is this great
planet, and from Chicago comes the
news that another moon has been dis
covered for the planet, making a
grand total of eight. Details Of the
lunar phenomenon we're given at the
Chicago Academy Of Sciences. Last
spring some photographs of Jupiter
were taken, which evidenced the ex-
istence Of the eighth moon. and this
verified the contention OF certain well
known European astronomers. One Of
the moons Of Jupiter Is estimated to
be larger than the planet Mars, and
of a density less than water.
Saturn, whose rings are plainly
seen through a small telescope, is OBJ
servable almost over head at 10 o'clock,
the apparent position Of the planet be-
ing about midway between the Twins
(Pollux and CASTOR and the bright
first magnitude star in the head Of
Orion. Saturn is apparently moving
backward through the heavens just
now, towards the Hyades, although its
real motion is eastward.
Mars may be seen low down In the
east, and Is rapidly becoming brighter
and ruddier. as in its movement around
its orbit It comes closer to the earth.
Mars, too, has moved rapidly owe.
the sky eastward and several months
ago was very close to Saturn, both
planets at that time lying near the
Plelades. Mars is now in the con-
stellation Leo and very close to a
faint star in the handle Of the sickle,
from which II Is apparently rapidly
moving westward. Mars appears de.
cidedly brighter and larger than the
first magnitude star Regulus, at the
end Of the sickle handle.
Many of the most prominent and
beautiful consultations are to be seen
in the winter sky, and as the heavens
continue to grow darker for the next
week, because Of the waning OF the
moon, they will stand out still more
prominently In the sky overhead.

A city that caters to its home in
dustries helping them in many ways
is just the city that secures new in
dustries. A city with several rail-
roads passing through II with q belt
line connection and a traffic agreement
covering the switching Of cars from
n line to another is OF an immense
value toward securing a new industry.
Clarksburg has only one railroad and
while we appreciate good service this
company is giving us, there Is no
ignoring the fact that certain rates
prevail In this district on both in
bound and outbound commodities
which when compared with other dis
~tributing centcrs located on competing
railroads leaves us seriously handi-
capped in our competitive struggle for
industrial development. Material re-
adjustments OF freight rates as apply
ing to the various lines Of glassware
brought about by determined organ
lied effort during the last two years
represents a great saving to our thlr-
teen glas plants and eliminates a big
handicap in further efforts to locate
additional plants, but there are many
improvements yet TO be worked out.
A city with good water facilities and
excellent fire protection means low
insurance cost to the manufacturer
and in this connection well paved
streets and good roads to u factory
locations in order that the best pos
sible fire protection might be given is
a matter Of prime importance to this
city, and much remains to be done
before We car make a winning COM
parison with other cities in this par
tlcular.
A city with many varied industries
employing all varieties Of help is o
city that should not have much
trouble in securing new industries.
and right here let me say, that every
effort is being made to secure manu-
~facturers other than those depending
so largely upon our cheap fuel.
A city that caters to the welfare
Of Its citizens, that makes pleasant

OWNERSHIP IS
NOW PLANNED
by Which Every Government Of
the Three Americas Will
Be in Cooperation.
tsy Assoei.rrp rasss,


WASHINGTON, Jan. ga definite
plan for establishment OF a govern
ment owned, cooperative radio
service embracing all the re-
publics OF the western hemis-
phere and assuring satisfactory COM
m%unication among them at all times
was formally approved today by Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels, and will
be transmitted by the state depart
ment for the approval of the various
governments concerned. 1t will carry
the full endorsement Of the United
States government, together with an
expressed desire that it be given care
full and earnest consideration.
Chief features OF the proposal are:
First-That each republic own and
control all radio stations within its
territory.
Second-That where such ownership
and control Is impracticable. arrange
ments he made by the governments to
take owe and operate such stations in
time Of emergency.
Three-That concessions be granted
by each government for the inter-
change OF communication, particularly
for the transaction OF official business
and that tending to promote CONNER
cial relations and International ex-
changes Of various kinds.
Both army and navy officials here
attach great importance to the plan,
declaring it would add materially to
the value Of communication facilities
at the disposal of this government in
time OF war and would knit the ma
lions OF three Americas closer to-
gether against any common foe which
might threaten their integrity as guar
anteed by the Monroe doctrine.

FINISH IS
GARMENTS
FOR NEEDY
Over Forty Women Spend Day Sewing fdI
Poor; Six Dozen Pairs Of Stockings
are Repaired; Presbyterian
Ladies Serve Luncheon

1t is not recorded that there was
not considerable conversation during
the progress of the sewing bee that
was held at the Presbyterian parish
house yesterday under the auspices
Of the United Charities, but at the
same time three sewing machines
hummed merrily and many needles
were busy making clothing for the
needy of the city.
Over forty women, members of the
various church societies, responded
to the appeal of the United Charities
and practically the entire day was de.
voted TO the good work. AS a net re
suit of the days activities, Go gar
ments, mostly for children, were com.
pleted and are ready for distribution.
Stockings? Yes, they did a little
darning, too. The inventory at the
close of the day showed that exactly
six dozen pairs were worked over to
minister to the comfort of as many
wearers.
For the most part the material for
the clothing was donated, some by
merchants who gave garments that
were unstable Ut could be worked
over. In one case three skirts were
made from a single garment thus con
tributed.
AT the noon hour the ladies of the
Presbyterian church served a hot
luncheon to the workers, consisting
of soup. sandwiches, etc. The sewing
bee will be repeated next Wednesday.

RALLY FOR
MISSIONS
Meeting al Christian Church Pronounced
Most Profitable; Not Dull Moment
During Day; Workers from For
eign Fields Present

The missionary rally at the Chris.
tian church yesterday was truly one
of unusual interest. From its begin
ming at s a. m. to its close at $3.50
p. m there was not a dull minute.
Before the beginning there was
spread upon the walls OF the church
such profusion of notices, charts
and maps of missionary interest as
was probably never before seen in
Chickasha.
The rally team was a strong one,
composed of H. c. Hobgood OF
Lotumbe, Africa; C. e. Robinson of
Sendai, Japan, and Mr.. Bert Wilson Of
Kansas City. Visitors were present
from Anadarko, Carnegie, Norge,
Ninnekah. Lawton and Walters. On
tables at the front were spread a large
collection of foreign curios. including
money, chop sticks, combs, shoes,
idols, dresses, implements of war, etc
During the afternoon session short
addresses were made by Revs. Timer
Of Walters. D. W. Boyer of Walters.
A. r. Davis of Anadarko, c. Z. Wag-
ner of Lawton and G. Lyle Smith of
this city. The attendance of the af-
ternoon and evening sessions was
good, especially at night
At $3.50 p. m. the ladies of the
church served a delicious luncheon.
after which a social hour was enjoyed
in the church parlors. Beside the
three excellent and instructive adj
dresses at the coming session about
one hundred and fifty good stereopti-
con views we're thrown upon the
screen illustrating missionary scenes
and activities in many countries. 1t
seemed to be the unanimous opinion
Of those who attended that it was the
most interesting and profitable mis-.
sionary meeting of their lives.

CHIEF ASKS
CITIZENS TO
HELP HIM

Chief of Police Phillips wants the
citizens of Chickasha to aid him in
enforcing the ordinances of the city.
particularly street traffic regulations
In a statement issued for publication
today, he says:
"'ro the Citizens of Chickasha:
Il invite you to report any and all
violations of the traffic laws which
may come within your observation.
My request is based on two reasons.
First. l want tc enforce the law. l
want the persons who complain about
the law violations to do their share
in furnishing or preventing these vio-
lations.
"How far and what efforts you viii
lend us is question It is much
easier to kick about offenses and de-
nounce the administration and offend
ers than it is to report them and aid
in their conviction The average
American is reluctant to forego his
lprerogative of kicking, but he like
wise is loath to figure as 'tattlerand
yet, as a good citizen, he has an obli-
cation to assist to the limit Of his
ability in the enforcement OF the law.
The statutes recognize constabulary
service on brief notice.
"Many evils flourish because the
only available witnesses against them
hesitate to offer testimony. Securing
testimony against gambling joints and
hawdy houses is almost impossible, al
though persons qualified to give evil
dence. are among the most frequent
complainers against these evils. 1t is
matter of general observation
that householder will hear
neighbors violation Of the
sanitary code, even when these viola
tions become a menace to the COM
munity's health, rather than take the
initiative in securing their abate-
ment.
1T is true that the citizen, whose
zeal for law enforcement leads him
TO report infractions of the law. is
often rebuked by the very authorities
intrusted with the responsibilities of
law enforcement Such things have
happened often, here in Chickasha.
As q general proDosition. however.
the good citizen SHES at his own 90
LEGATION and. unless tempted by tan
gible reward, avoids any semblance
of assistance in the daily work of ap-
pretending and punishing law-break-
ers.

cooperation of the general public.
