Labor And Capital Try to Plan
For Care ofthe Ciui Employees

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Labor and CAPT
tai have joined hands to work out a
scheme for reinstating in civil employ
ment after the war The men now en-
ployed In the field OF in munitions fac
tories. The rulnhe- of persons now
on government rayrolls who will be
discharged after peace is declared is
from 100000 to 100000. seven
eighths Of whom are men. This repre-
scnts nearly half the wage-earning
population of the United Kingdom.
Rehabilitation may extend over sew
eral years. The process will probably
begin with the munition workers, many
Of who mare liable to discharge at
short notice. Army disbandment must
proceed slowly, and unless normal con-
ditoins are speeded up, will be very
gradual.
The employers decided to combine
with labor in working out this indus
trial reform scheme, after the labor
men through the Joint Labor Commit
tee on Labor Problems After the War
had formulated a list of concessions
for the men. This committee is repre-
sentative of all the big labor organiza-
tions in the country. e
The committee urged that the gov
ernment should make workers In nun
itions and other war trades the same
Kind Of provision as has been already
promised for the discharged soldier,
including months leave on full pay,
free railway tickets to any place In the
United Kingdom. unemployment bene-
fit available for year, and organized
facilities for obtainig fresh employ
ment.
This action led to the meeting of
leading employers and heads of the
big trades unions. 1t was realized that
if the huge task Of getting men back
to their old places after the war was
left to the labor exchanges, a collapse
was threatened and trouble would be
sure to follow. The meeting, there
fore, resolved that it was necessary to
create a special organization consisting
mainly Of representatives of employ
ers and trades unions. It's action Is
taken seriously, not only because the
meeting was presided over by Freder-

Cotton Seed Selection

Realizing that desirable cotton seed
for planting would be scarce and that
mistakes were likely to be made in
planting the wrong seed in boil wee
vii territory, the College of Agricul-
ture has had survey made of the
state to locate all the desirable seed
possible that will be for sale. BY this
means county agents and farmers in
general are put in touch with farm
ers having selected seed for sale. The
entire state has been covered by this
survey.

-Four Absences
M46 Years
Made

Judge Henry L. Long, of Leesourg.
has been superintendent of the Baptist
Sunday school of that town since 1870,
a period of As years. During that time
he has been absent from Sunday school
only four times, twice on account OF
high water preventing his getting to
Sunday school, and the other two times
on account Of sickness, He has also
been a deacon in the Baptist church
for the past eighteen years, Judge
Long, F. T. King and Henry L. Long,
Jr., being ordained deacons on the
same day. All of them are still serv-
ing the church as deacons.
During Judge Longs service as sup
erintendent he has always been lead
ing spirit not only in the Sunday
school, but the church as well, and
has been a potent factor in building
up the church organization, being ably
assisted by the other deacons.
At the close of service in the
church at Leesburg, four years ago, the
pastor presented Judge Long with a
gold-headed walking cane. given him
by the church membership as a token
Ct love and in appreciation Of his long
and valuable service to the Sunday
school and church, both of which he
had served so long and faithfully.
Judge Long, although now somewhat
advanced in years retains the Office of
Sunday school superintendent as well
as serving as deacon in the church,
and is as prompt in attending services
as when he first began to serve the
Sunday school, more than two score
years agone.

Diagram Showing Number and Orbits
Which Jupiter Has Captured

OF course, the supply of light and heat
from the sun is greatly reduced at the dis
lance at which Jupiter and his satellites are
found, being only 1-27th of the amount we
receive The other satellites of Jupiter are
extremely small and are only visible in large
telescopes. The eighth and ninth possess a
particular interest from the fact that they
and the ninth satellite of Saturn are the only
members of the solar system that revolve
around the mother planet IN a retrOgrade dl-
rection, that is, from east to west. The almost
universal direction of motion among the
planets and satellites is from west TO east.
As the distance from the planet increases
its gravitational control over its satellites
weakens, and at last point is reached where
the attraction of the sun for the satellite would
overbalance the planets attraction. At this
critical point the satellite would leave the
planet control In obedience to the greater
attraction of the sun.
1t has been found, however, that as this crit
zeal position is neared the backward direction
of revolution is safer than the direct. This Is
probably why Jupiter's most distant satellites
back around their primary contrary to the
direction of all the nearer satellites.
Jupiter is almost entirely composed Of
gaseous matter and midway IN evolution be-
tween the sun and earth II is still question
just what portion Of the planet is composed
of solid or liquid matter IN fact, whether IT
is not gaseous even to the centre. Its very low

The change that Jupiter makes in the paths
of comets is usually gradual process. At
each close approach the orbit is reduced more
and more and In some cases the comet s orbit
may get so far inside of Jupiter's path that
he can no longer seriously disturb it.
Fortunately for all the members of the
solar system comets are bodies Of little mass.
The heads of even the largest comets are
probably nothing more than a swarm of
meteOric particles. Head-on collisions with
planets possessing atmospheres would doubt
less result in nothing more serious than
heavy meteOric shower in which most of the
particles would be consumed by friction with

might roughly trace the path of Jupiter
around the sun by means of the aphelia of
the various members of his comet family
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune also have
few captured comets, but nothing to COM
pare with Jupiter's extensive and trouble
some family.
No comet can ever become satellite of the
planet, however, but must always continue to
pass around the sun in obedience to his
greater attraction as long as it remains in the
solar system. The most Jupiter can accom-
plish is either TO shorten the path so that It
cannot extend far beyond his own orbit or
else to drive the comet permanently beyond
the limits of the solar system on the curve
of parsbola or hyperbola,

The fact that comets
have such small mass
is proven by their not
disturbing in the least
any of the planets they
chance to Craze. If this
were not so interference
with the motions of
these bodies might be
disastrous for the mem
bers of our system.
The paths of the most
prominent members Of
Jupiter s comet family

noticed that these comets
all pass around the sun

attraction of the ruler of

Jupiter has nine satellites, of which four
have been known from the days of Calico.
They were the first objects to be discovered
with the telescope and can be easily seen with
an opera glass. The transits of these satel-
lites across Jupiter's disk, when their
shadows appear as round, black dots upon
his face. both satellite and shadow being
visible at one time, their occupation behind
the planet Jupiter and their disappearance
in his shadow make the observation of this
planet in a small telescope source of never
failing interest.
Vague markings have been observed upon
these moons at times, but their great distance
and small size make them very difficult TO
observe. Since it is possible, however, that
