Mercury enters the morning sky on September 1 and will reach its greatest distance west of the sun on September l IS. At this time it rises one and one half hours before sunrise and may be seen almost due east, shining in the dawn with three times the brightness of 1 first magnitude star. It will again en- ter the evening heavens on October 15. venus rises in the northeast about {. hour and 40 minutes before the sun ,u September l, but this time is diminished to almost exactly one hour by Septem. Der 30. In the telescope it now appears nearly full. but it is seen at a consider able disadvantage. both because of it's great distance from Us and because it is so nearly in a line with the sun To- ward the end of the month and through out October and November it's position will be practically too unfavorable for observation. On September 10 it will pass north of the bright star Reguius and the two objects may then be seen together
 in the telescope. Venus will enter the
 evening sky on November 23.
 Mars during the month will in it's east
 Waro motion, move entirely across the
 constellation Libra On September 1 it
 will be seen 20 minutes below the n-
 teresting naked-eye double star which,
 with V (Ftgure n forms the wide pair
 of the Balance. The planet is steadily
 approaching the fiery-red Antares tat
 W, Figure D. but it will not pass this
 star until October 12. The name An
 tares means the Rival of Mars, and as
 the distance between the two objects
 lessens so that one can compare them
 together, the appropriateness of the name becomes apparent. Mars at present, how ever, is unusually faint. When it is
 brightest the star is but one-seventh as bright as the planet and would not be regarded in any way it's rival in bril- linacy. During the present month the distance away of Mars increases from 155, ,o00. .000.0oO to 18S 0o0, ,0oo,0o0 of miles.
 Jupiter rises far in the northeast about four and one-half hours before the sun on September l, and this time is in- creased to no less than six hours by September 30 A little before sunrise the Golden Planet will be seen high in the sky. where it is poving eastward through the constellation Gemin. Early morning observers may see interesting phenomena of its satellites on the morn ings of September 21, 26 and 2S.
 Saturn rises about 1 hour and 20 min utes before sunrise on September 1 and 3 hours before sunrise on September 90. It is daily coming into more favorable position and by the end of the month will be high in the morning sky
 On September g, at hours and 46 minutes D. m. (eastern standard timel, the center of the sun will cross the equa- tor and at this instant autumn will be- gin. Except for the small influence of the refraction of the air about the earth this day and the following night will be of equal lengths.

JUNIOR ORDER PLANS | 1 AS s INITIATION Interesting Meeting Sched-
 Med by Local Council for X Tomorrow Night

All interest at preesnt of the Junior Or. der, United American Mechanics, over the entire country is centered upon the big class limitations set for the first meet
 ing night of November. The national councillor Judge Moves, has set tne schedule of rates for all councils accordins to their membership and each council is endeavoring to go lover the top" with flying colors of red, white and b!ae, Those councils that fail to reach the goal will be denominated the yellow coun cils-and with the Juniors there's no stch animal"
 The Alabama councils are getting ready for big rush and they daily are calling for official application blanks. Some or the secretaries write that the schedule of the national councillor is far too low to suit them and that their goal will be one new member for the class for every men- Der they have on September 1, when the drive starts
 Birmingham council No. 21 continues to have interesting and profitable meet ings, and that scheduled for Monday night will bo no exception, there being much business of interest to be trans- acted and final reports made on applica- lions for the degrees the following Mon oay night being the regular degree night. All memne rs are given a cordial welco 1,e and the meetings are short and full of interest.
 State Secretary E. R. Calhoun leaves Monday fol point in Marshall county to institute a new council of the order, charter list having been secured within the past week. With the putting in of this council there will be four in that immediate territory. as eiose as the laws of the order will admit in rural commun 'ities. being distant seven miles from each other. The others are all flourish ing and the indications are thatthe new council will thrive and prosper as the others have.

Why Draft Age Must Be Raised

Henry Farrand Griffin in Leslie's. A
 This is why the American draft age must be either raised or lowered, or moro probably both. If the present rate at which troops are being transported to France is maintained the spring of 1919 would probably see not far from 100000 American soldiers abroad. This in turn would mean that at least 2.0060oO add- tonal troops would be undergoing train ing in ~the United States in order to maintain our army in France at strength of 100000. Short of drawing so heavily upon skilled workers in present deferred classfications as to seriously cripple war industries, there is no possi- ble method of raising an American army of this size without extending the pres ent draft age limits. It is clear that our government in laying it's plans along these lines does not underestimate the task ahead of the allies next year. To break the German front, shortened and strengthened as it may be in 1919, on a sufficiently large scale for decisive strategic victory, will require concen- tration of men and materials in France and Flanders such as has not yet been seen during the war. Upon the quantity of men, guns airplanes and other ma- terials between now and the spring of l9i9 win depend the question of whether or not the war must be prolonged into 1920 for allied victory.

GREATEST MEETING
 LABOR HAS EVER . HELD HERE SEPT. 12
Fully 25,,OOO People Elk. pected at Rally in Capitol Park in Interest
 of Labor

A concrete demonstration of the south loyalty, as represented in a growing war
 time labor efficiency, will be the keynote of the big labor rally to be held in this city on September F, for which partial plans have been made and more definite arrangements will tomorrow be effected by committees of white and colored cit izens that will meet at the Chamber of Commerce
 District Superintendent Cliff Williams, whose heart is set upon making this Birmingham gathering the biggest thing ever pulled off in the way of a labor meeting,' will arrive in the city in the
 morning and will spend few hours here
 with his assistant, James A. Metcalf, who will remain here continually until the big event comes off
 Capitol park has already been spoken for as the place for holding this great meeting, and conservative estimates are that it will be thronged by a crowd of at least 25,000 people at o'clock on the evening of September 12.
 It was stated at the office of Federal
 Director George B. Tarrant Saturday that the presence of the governors of four states is practically assured, though Gov ernor Catts of Florida wired both MT. Tarrant and General Manager E,enimore of the Chamber of Commerce, expressing his regret that D previous engagement made it impossible for him to be present
 While have had no definite promise from Director General John B. Densmore of the United States employment service that he will accept our invitation and be with us on this occasion, I feel cer- tain that such will be the case, said Federal Director Tarrant. MT. Dens- more expressed. to Superintendent Will Hams recently his desire to visit the south, and we are very anxious to have him do so. And, furthermore we want him to view the south as regards the labor situation from it's greatest indus trial center. If it becomes necessary, though l do not believe it will, I am going to ask Senators Underwood and Bankhead to see MT. Densmore in person and urge him to come"

Atlanta, August 3l-(Specfal. )-Georgia and Atlanta have no place for slackers If you don't want to work, you'd better move on to some other state. That in effect, Is the mandate that has been sent abroad throughout Georgia Work or fight" is the slogan of state and city governments. and the orders going to be obeyed, or else the courts will know the reason why.
 While men from IS to 45 are getting ready to register under the new draft act, men from 45 to 60 arc getting ready 10 do some kind of work-work that will help win the war. Every man who is able bodied has got to do his share-as a laborer, a ship builder, farmer. in office or elsewhere.
 And Atlanta, for her part, is getting ready to wage war on the .'tea boysf- the perpetual loafers, who haunt pool rooms and who haven't an official ac- quaintance with the word work. The pail and cue in Atlanta are to be ex- changed for more formidable weapons if an ordinance to be presented to council Monday is adopted. The ordinance was drawn by the police committee of council and unanimously approved by the com mlttee. It provides that all pool rooms Tn Atlanta shall be closed for the d1lra 'tVAt VI lle WdF uuTlng WOrklng hours the day. Billard rooms, operating under license from the city will be permitted 10 operate only during the hours from o'clock in the evening until II o'clock at night Members of the committee who nave investigated the situation declare that there are several hundred boys in ta-able-bodied young men-who are perpetual visitors to these places, and Whc should either be in some branch of the fighting service or working in some essential occupation
 Last week Governor Dorsey issued an official proclamation setting forth the provisions of the work or fight" order recently passed by the legislature. and warning men touched by the bill to 20 to work. The law provides that all able bodied men between the ages of IS to 60 shals be occupied daily at some sort of useful work

Below this star there is pretty little triangle of the fifth magnitude stars (at E, Fig. 9 and each one of these three stars is double. The two upper stars have companions but four seconds away, while the lower one Ga much less difficult pair) has compan- ior 22 seconds distant southwest of the prime pal star. The components of the eGstcrnmost star show a fine contrast of color, the brighter star being golden and the giant companion deep purple. The faint star at E, to the west of the triangle, is also beautiful double in q small telescope, the companion, which is almost due south of the principal star. being of a deep blue color.
 Among ether interesting objects in this consteilatlcn is a beautiful little star cluster which the observer may find by first locating the faint star C, little to the east of the brighter star at K. Or a good night the cluser will be seen very short distance to the west and above the for-ae- star

ENJOIN RATE INCREASE

September 9 has been set as the date Tor the hearing of the case of the city of Atlanta and number of gas and electric cor sumers against the Georgia Railway and Power company and inc Atlanta Gas Light company, asking that the two companies be enioined from in creasing power and light rates in At larta, recently granted by the Georgia railroad commission. The injunction was fileG during the past week, and Judge George Bell of the superior court granted the temporary restraining order asked for pending the outcome of the permanent Injunction. Attorneys for the companies appeared before Judge Bell and asked tEat he not grant the temporary re- straining order, but that in lieu thereof he issue rule nisi proceedings against the two companies. Their appeal was over ruled, however. and the temporary order granted.
 The Georgia railroad commission is also made a defendant in the case, the plaintiff claiming that the commission acted without the scope of it's authority inc granting the increase.
 In the meantime the Georgia Railway and Power company has filed man damus against the Georgia railroad com mission requiring the commission to take risdiction over the street car rates Of the company, in order that the 6-cent fare asked for by the company may be granted. The railroad commission, in handing down it's recent decision on the petition of the company for increa sed rates. recommended to the city council that the Scent rate asked be allowed, but claimed that it did not have power to CT force the rate. The mandan1us pro- ceedings will be heard September E
