ical world, Professor Leuschner has
worked out method by which an ell
liptical orbit can be determined from
three observations, and with compara-
lively brief labor in computing, while
the older methods involve considera-
bly, more work, and often inaccuracy
of results.
Professor Leuschner's method is
based on a determination of the range
of possible solutions for the orbit of
a newly-discovered heavenly body. By
the use of tables which he has pre-
pared, the theoretical solutions which
will not work are promptly eliminated
and the actual orbit determined.
These new methods have made the
Students Observatory at Berkeley the
worlds recognized center for the de-
termination of orbits for new comets
Moreover, the use of these methods

thru great improvements devised by
Professor Leuschner in the methods
of mathematical computation to de-
termine the orbits of comets, asteroids,
and other heavenly bodies. Until a
few years ago it was the habit of as
tronomers to begin the attempt to es-
tablish the orbit of comet by trying
a parabolic orbit, and if that seemed
to fit the facts first observed, to rest
content there. Professor Leuschner,
however, by studying the variations
of the actual movements of comets
from the orbits announced by astron-
omers, demonstrated that all comet or
bits are elliptical, and not parabolic,
if observed with sufficient accuracy
and for sufficient length of time.

WHY WORRY ABOUT DRAFT?

The United States Senate had a
laugh amid the consideration of the
food bill Saturday. Senator Fletcher
a Waycross, Ga, paper on "Why
Worry About the Draft" Here it is;
it comes from an Atlanta boy, who
has been on the firing line in France
and knows what he is talking about:
"You have two alternatives-eith
you are drafted or you are not. If
not, you have nothing to worry about
If you are drafted, you have two al
ternatives-you are in camp or you
are at the front. If you are in camp
you have nothing to worry about. If
you are at the front you have two
lternatives-either you are held in
reserve or you are sent to the firing
line.
IF you are in reserve, you have
nothing to worry about. If you are
sent to the firing line, you have two
alternatives-either you fight or you
to worry about.
''If you do, you have two alterna-
tives-either you get hurt or you
don't. If you don't you have nothing
to worry about: If you do get hurt,
you have two alternatives-either you
are slightly hurt or badly hurt. If
slightly hurt, you have nothing to
worry about. If badly hurt, you have
two alternatives-either you recover
or you don't.
"If you recover, you have nothing
to worry about. If you don't recover
then you are dead and can't worry.
so what's the use of worrying
about the draft?"

COMETS NOT VAGABONDS

The long-accepted belief has been
overturned that most comets are mere
vagabonds of the skies, threading a
pathway around the sun and then wan
dering off forever into outer space.
The story of how the comets have
been proved to be law-abiding citizens

stantly recurring visits to the neigh
borhood of our sun, is told by Pro-
