The youngest stars Of which we
have knowledge are the "Orion" type
of stars. The constellation of Orion
is composed mainly Of them, as well
as parts of Taurus, the Pleiades, and
parts of Perseus. In color, they are
much like the Sirius type, blush white,
and brilliant, but a spectroscope at
once detects the difference between
them. Stars like Sirius and Vega
are surrounded by hydrogen gas, but
the Orion stars have no hydrogen, and
are made of helium and nebula. They
often have great volumes Of fine nehu-
la dust about them, showing that they
are still in the process Of condensing
out Of the primitive star matter.

Remember.

When the war is over, no excuse will
go.
Either you were in it or you were
not.
Either you shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches, or the Young
Mems Christian association, the Red
Cross or in some place where the door
was opened, or else you did nothing.
If you could not serve, you could
send your boys with Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack
ers.
Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought
and died for your flag.
Disqualification for active service is
no justification for forgetting the boys
behind the guns who sacrificed all
thought of gain and were willing to
sacrifice their lives at their country's
call.-Leslie's.

READY TO TAKE MEDICINE.
SAYS SOCIALIST LEADER

Copenhagen. via Wireless. via Lon
don, December 15.--"At the behest OF
the entente we disarmed ourselves
and we are ready TO take the conse-
auences." Philip Scheidemann. the
German majority Socialist leader. de-
clared in an interview with the Berlin
correspondent of the Berlinske
Tidende.
There is no occasion for alarm
and foolish attempts to throw dust In
the eyes of America, England and
France continued Scheidemann.
such attempts might as we'll cease.
They do not deceive any one. Those
countries are astute enough to pro-
cure information on the real condi-
tons from reliable sources OF their
own, therefore, that the political
situation in Germany Is improving. II
only $50 persons were arrested. prob
ably the whole Spartacus movement
would be suppressed. The new gov
eminent. however, will not use
violence, although eventually we will
have to disarm the supporters Of the
Spartacus extremists.
Herr Lebknecht is not normally
constituted man, and the executive
committee (of the soviets?) is only a
provisional institution"

Task Of RED CROSS
VASTLY INCREASED

Washington, Dec. 15.--At the OPEN
ing today of the Red Cross campaign
for the nationwide membership, Secre-
tary of War Baker made the following
statement: prior to the signing Of
the armistice. the work OF the Ameri.
can Red Cross was confined within
home and neutral areas under entente
control. Now it's scope is obviously
enlarged to embrace virtually the en-
tire continent Of Europe, together with
great portions OF Asia
The task which confronts this great
service OF mercy is thus vastly in
creased by the cessation of hostilities
and seems likely to continue for q
considerable period.
Il am sure that all Americans will
wish to put their hands to the work
Of healing and reconstruction and of
the channels open none is worthier of
support than this"
