CONVOYS TO TAKE
 SHIPS BOTH WAYS
Liners on Return Trips, Heretofore Relying on
 Speed, to be Guarded.

Washington, July 25-The sinking of the Justicia while she was home ward bound, without a convoy proba- bly, means that hereafter no trans ] going or coming, without the protec- tion of warships. The big steamer makes the sixth transport the Ger man submarines have destroyed in the ! same way,
 l The others were the Antilles, Presi- dent Lincoln and Covingt on. under the American flag, and the Moldavia and Dwisk under the British flag, All of these were caught on their way back to the United States ahfter dlscharg- ! ing their cargoes of troops, Only one transport has been hit on the way , over with troops, that was the Tus- canla, but even she was unescorted when the Uboat showed up,
 The explanation of ithe unprotected status of these Inilit;iry liners is that they have been permitted to rely on their speed for security, Going over full of troops no chHnces are taken,
 The navy folk figure the Justicia was conveyed out flor day and at night was permitted ito make a run for 1t. The next day she ran into a nest of submarines, spread across the ocean lane.
 The loss of the JJust1cia Is a definite blow to us. She Twas good for 10,000 troops every month. Fortunately we are building ard conveying anew transports righti along, so, In a meas ure, this loss, as well as the loss of the other transports, will be soon made up.
 The torped ping of the Justicia heightened thpc onviction of many officials that the German submarine commanders are purposely avoiding the heavily conveyed Europe-bound transports and supply ships and Hay ing for less protected vessels return ing to this country.

ENGLISH WOMEN
 DOING SPLENDID /. WORK IN SHOPS

Manchester, England, July A. Correspondence of The Associated Fress)-The women of England are making the shells with which the British army is beating back the enemy, and are doing the work at an average pay equivalent to $1O week. The managing director of a big naval construction works here is un- able to employ domestic servants be- cause all the women formerly employ ed as servants have gone to work in shell factories. .,-4
 When the factory men were called to the colors, women quietly stepped into their places. The vast majority of the women had neither skill nor training in munitions work, but the factory engineers by installing what is known as single process machines made it possible for the women to do the complicated work that previously only skilled men had been able to &C., complish>
 In a week or ten days a woman learns how to operate a single-process machine She does her work efficient ly and faithfully Recently in one factory the women made 31,000 4.5 inch shells in eighteen weeks and not flaw could be found in any shell. Many of the women workers before the war were operatives In plants for textile manufacture, the chief indus 1 try in this region. In peace time their wages averaged about the equiv alent of five dollars a week. Now the average is well over ten dollars and in exceptional cases, fifteen and mere

 The minimum wage paid to women in shell factories where the piece work system is in effect is about S7.50 week, but unless a girl proves her self capable of making at least $9 a week she is not regarded as a good worker. It is not uncommon for a particularly intelligent and energetic woman to draw each week from $17 to $20.

TEAMS PICKED FOR FINALS IN
 TENNIS PLAY
Bennett and O'Neill to Bat tie With Buckingham and
 Hewlett for Championship

Charles Bennett and Edward O'Neil, night to fight out the finals of the Y. M. c. A. tournament with Buckingham and Hewlett, who had had the same good fortune by splendid playing, however, to be the winners in the up per half of the tournament. These two teams were clashed Saturday af- ternoon for the championship of the tournament. Bennett and O'Neil eliminated Boyden and Gish last evening in a match which was closely played because the first set went to 7-5 before ONei1 and Bennett could capture it. The second set, however falling to their racket at the score of 6-2.
 There will be a battle royal Satur day afternoon between these two teams which have proved strong enough each to win their way into the finals. The match will take place Saturday afternoon at the courts of the Y. M. c. A. at the foot of North are cordially invited to see this match. The fine shade trees on the Main street side and the grass plo; on the side towards the Sound make splendid places from which to watch a tennis match on the Y. M. c. A. courts and it will be about as cool a place as there will be in the city and should draw a large number of the lovers of tennis.
 This tournament was unique and very interesting because the plan was to make up each team by including one of the fastest players in the city with one who had not yet had so much experience and when the membership of the club had been exhausted as far as these two classes were concerned then the rest were assumed to be in the middle class and two set players were put together so that as nearly as was possible the teams were equally matched, the players not being allowed to choose their own partners in which case, of course, naturally two of the strongest men would try to team together. The officials have not decided fully as to the character of the next tournament but they are thinking seriously of making 1t a class tournament in which the men would be divided up into classes of equal experience 50 that every man would realize that he had a fighting chance to immerge the seasons champion in his division. This would mean dividing up the members into not less than three and possibly four groups but it would mean that every man would net only have a chance to win the champion. ship in his class but on the other hand would have to be on his toes to do it as enly those eff his own ten his ability would be classified with him.
 Following this will be the straight tournament of the Y. M. c. A. club for the championship in singles and doubles of the club. In this case everybody will be put on an equal footing. there will be no handicaps of ariy kind and everybody will fight either to win the tournament or to see at least how far up>ethey can go before they are eliminated: The tournament which has just closed, the

SHE CLIPS PAPERSI FOR THE SOLDIERS
Useful Service is Performed By a Woman of Maiden,
 Mass.

An Everett woman has been con- ducting an unusual cliping bureau service for the boys of France. She has been sending reading matter twice weekly from Boston, Hartford, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and even London daily papers, likewise from variety of magazines to H.. A. Maxwell, secretary from Maiden, Mass, of the Y. M c. A. with the A. E. F. The desire for reading mat ter has been emphasized, but appar- ently it will stand more emphasis. MT. Maxwell wrote in March, for instance:
 Reading matter is something which we cannot get over here; that is, during the last three months it has been quite difficult During Novem- Der and early December we were getting great quantities of it. All kinds of magazines. Now nothing is coming through, at least to the camps where l have been stationed. We | have two one-sheet daily papers printed here in Paris, but they con- tain very little news. What our men want most is The Outlook, Literary Digest, Scientific American and good story magazines.
 Sometimes we have been fortunate enough to get several hundreds books and had a sort of circulating library but our men are changing their posi- tion so often that it is hard to handle any proposed plan. We have to fall back on lectures, so I have arranged two for each week by hiring a little theatre which we have taken over exclusively for our work"
 In letter dated June IT, MT. Max well writes further about the clip pings:
 T wish you could see the boys | lined up before the bulletin board, reading some of the clippings which you sent me. I have got a large board, about seven by four feet, and laced it in convenient place just for interesting news items. I have also laced little basket on the reading table. with a sign over it asking the men to read the inclosures, and it ig a pretty busy corner for about two days after I put in bunch of clip pings. I pick out the best one and put them on the board.
 'I am still with the marines and | lHey dIo d great DunCn or soldiers, and I am glad to hear tonight that they have and are doing great work where they are placed.
 T had rather sad news today. An officer with whom I took dinner told me of a young lieutenant who was killed recently, whom I met last Jan uary and who assisted me to enter tain the soldiers several times, and that the chaplain whom I was with at he same time buried 29 in one day, probably many of whom I knew.
 That is where it is tough and hard on the " man, for one cannot be long with these fellows without becoming very much attached to them. No one can realize the tension that these men are passing through but never saw such spirit. It is just wonderful, and every day makes it harder for me to stay out where l suppose I belong, for when you see young men so willingly make the su- preme sacrifice I tell you it chafes a , man not to be able to take his place } by their side. .''-Boston Transcript.

(By Dr. c. s. Brainin, of the Colum-
 bia University Observatory Staff.)
 The so-called new star which flashed out unexpectedly in the constellation Aquila last June, will figure promin- ently in astronomic history. If it had remained at it's maximum bril- liancy, when it's magnitude almost equaled that of Sirius, which is the brightest of all the fixed stars, it would certainly have been a great addition to the splendors of the even ing sky. But there is no. record of q star which rose to brilliance and re- tained even a portion of it's teporary splendor.
 These stars belong to the class of ''aperiodic variables," which is the scientific name for stars that change l their brightness without any periodic l or repetition effects. Such a star Is called a "nova," and this one, be- cause it appeared in the constellation of Aquila, the Eagle, is known to as- | tronomers as Nova Aquilae. Its po- sition is shown on the monthly map below the center of the map and q l little to the left. At the time of i writing the star is still very bright and ] easily recognizable.
 ] In 1901 there was a nova in Per seus, which rose to the second mag nitude, but Nova Aquilae is the most splendid one since Kepler's nova in 1 Ophiuchus, back in 1904. This one was reported to have been as bright as Jupiter. The brightest on record l is Tycho Brahe's nova in the con- ! stellation Cassiopeia, which rivaled Venus in brilliancy and was visible even in daylight.
 ! The history of such star is very 1 remarkable. Harvard University re- i ported having traced Nova Aquilae ! back to 1888, when it was of the eleventh magnitude and far too weak 1 to be visible to the naked eye. Up i to June 3, 1918, it had done nothing | to deserve particular attention, and it is not known what its state was on June 4, or 6, for those nights were i too cloudy for observation. But on June it was suddenly found by many | observers to have risen to the sixth magnitude, 100 times its origina ] brightness. June found it's magni- tude increased again over 100 times or 10, 900 what 1t had been but a few days before. It attained the maxi mum brilliancy on June 10, with a magnitude of "minus 1.6' and more than 20 900 times It's original bright ness Its decline began almost i'm mediately afterwards, for on the night of June II, accurate instruments showed a decrease in magnitude. Like all preceding novae, it Is more or less rapidly declining into the insignifi. canoe from which 1t emerged. Possible Causes of Novae.
 The word nova is somewhat mis- leading: it is not really true that 3 new star is formed; 1t is an old, smal
 star which suddenly bursts into
 glory. The ancients, without tele
 scopes, could not have known of the
 thousands of fainter stars, and tc
 them it seemed as if a new star wa:
 born; even in modern astronomy, be
 fore the advent of photography, tn,
