WHY METEORS CHANGE COLOR
According to Scientists It Is Due to
Varying Atmosphere Through
Which They Pass.

The earth's atmosphere is now be-
lieved to have three fairly distinct
strata, the first, extending up to about
forty-five miles, having nitrogen as the
leading constituent, the second, with
it's upper limit at 125 miles, being
chiefly hydrogen, and the third, at a
still greater height, consisting of a
very thin gas, which has been named
"geOcOronium."
Or. Alfred Wegener has attempted to
explain the striking differences Of color
in meteors Or shooting stars" and says
that meteOrS coming from outer space
are not sufficiently heated in the ex-
ceedingly light gas to become luminous.
Their fall through the hydrogen lay
er causes them to become incandescent
and before they reach the lowest
stratum most of them are completely
dissipated. A few of the largest, how
ever, penetrate the nitrogen atmos-
phere, a very small number reaching
the earths surface.
It is found that the deep-falling me-
teors pass through three stages of
-yellOW-White, green and deep
red-and it is concluded that the green
is due to incandescance of the hydro
gen and the red to that of the nitro
gen.
Only the first stage is seen in the
quickly dissipated meteors, the white,
yellow or sometimes robustness being
evidently the glow of the meteor sub
stance.

The best Don't Worry" appeal has
been issued by the United States pub
lie health service. In statement pre-
senting statistics on nervous diseases
and showing the tendency of the
worry habit to shorten life this serv-
ice says: $50 far as is known, no
bird ever tried to build more nests than
it's neighbor; no fox ever fretted be-
cause he had only one hole in which
to hide; no squirrel ever died of
anxiety lest he should not lay by
enough nuts for two winters instead
of one and no dog ever lost any sleep
over the fact that he did not have
enough bones laid aside for his declin-
ing years."

VIEWS OF A CYNIC.

No girl wants q secret marriage
still it is better than none.
When fame does not come to the
average man it roosts on his tomb
stone.
1t is difficult for man to convince
a woman that she is in the wrong
when she knows she is.
Occasionally a girl marries a man
just to keep him from hanging around
the house every evening
Married life is q game of questions
and answers. It's the wise man who
asks few questions, and a wiser one
who gives brief answers
The people who don't work believe
labor to be the salvation of the rest
Of US.
Matrimony is that part of life in
dicated on loves map as the hOrrid
zone.
Most of the great inventions OF the
world are due to men. They haven't
any haiEpins to do things with.
Wouldn't we be great if we were as
great as we think we are?
If you want an amusing companion
find q woman with past. Her remin-
iscences are always interesting.
Pride makes some people ridiculous
and prevents others from becoming SO.
The only way that a true gentle
man will ever attempt to look at the
faults Of a pretty woman is to shut
his eyes.

dreadfuIly, for a moment, ON a mighty
sword. 1t fell with sudden force.
The eXecutiOner OF Lille took off his
red cloak, spread it on the ground, laid
the body in it, and bore it to the boat.
In the middle of the stream, he lifted
the burden over the water, and cried
aloud: Let the justice of God be
done!" The corpse fell into the river
and disappeared.
The four guardsmen reiOined the
king at Rochelle, and prepared them
selves to suffer the cardinals ven
geance. That he would learn what
they had done, was certain. They had
reckOned the stakes and were resigned
to pay the cost Of the game, content
that they had settled their accounts
with the woman who had crossed
their lives SO often and to the ruin of
so many innocent ones.
D'Artagnan was the first to be ar
rested and brought before Richelieu.
Threatened with the ak, he faced the
great soldier-pTiest boldly and pro-
duced paper which the friends had
taken from Milady. The cardinal read !:
''It is by my order and for the good
Of the state that the bearer of this has
done what has been done.
"RICHELIEU."
1t was paper that Milady had eX-
acted from her master before ventur-
ing ON the mission to Stay Buckingham.
Tho cardinal pOndered. He consid-
cred how much a good master might
make out of the activity, the courage
and the shrewdness of such men as
this. On the other hand, he felt some
thing like relief at being forever re-
Eeved of the dangerous woman who
knew too many of his secrets.
He turned to the table and signed a
parchment. cit is my death warrant -
thought D'Artagnan. He took it. It
was a commission as lieutenant Of the
kings musketeers.
A1erandre Dumas had been Writ-
ing plays and stories for 20 gears
a'hem, IN 1914, he produced this
novel, which vas followed the neat
gear By "Ihe Count of Monte-Cris-
to-" Despite the popularity Of the
latter, "The Three Musketeers'
must rank as his masterpiece. There
IS nothing IN "Monte-Cristo" like
the magnificent guardsmaen. Both
novels suffer from their great au-
MOrs tendency to meZodrama, but
the characters of the nausketeers
make literature Of true and high
quality.
The plots with avAich they succeed
IN f0l1lng the brilliant cardinal are
pueri1e and sometimes absurd; bat
IN every Word and action the chief
characters are alive. Pugnacious zove-
making D'Artogman, wiZd Athos,
dainty, thanksgiving Aramis, and
codging, cain, bzimdly brave Porthos
are four prize men of fiction.
The time Of the story is 1926

Richez1eu's efforts to ruin the beau
tfu1 Anne Of austria, queen of

really were cavaziers armed with
swords) were legion famous

HOWARD IS AGAIN
ASKED TO RETIRE
CAMPAIGN MANAGER OF HARRIS
CALLS ON HOWARD TO MAKE
GOOD HIS PROMISES IN LET
TIERS

j
Atlanta, July 27-Following pres.
sure from many sources, even from
friends, the sentiment in favor of the
retirement of William Schley How
ARD from the senatorial race has crys-
tailed in the demand made by Will
liam J. Harris,s manager, DR.. L. S.
Ledbetter, that Howard retire from
the race.
The statement from the Harris head
quarters cites two letters signed by
Mr.. Howard in which he offers to with
draw from the race al anytime, if by
SO doing he can ensure the defeat of
Hardwick, and declares that facts sup
port the announcement that now is the
time for Mr.. Howard to withdraw. In
support of this the result. of recent
polls is given, showing a preponder
ance in favor of Harris.
A poll was also made of the crowds
attending the Howard speeches in
various parts of the state, and the
smallness of the figures is but another
indication, says the Harris manager,
that the time has come for Howard
to withdraw.
