AUSTRALIA SENDS AN ENVOY TO THE
 UNITED STATES
Island Continent For First Time In History Enters
 Business Diplomacy.

New York, Nov. 2.-Australia has entered the field of business diplo- macy. From the island continent at the bottom of the world has come for the first time in history an envoy to the United States, to work for the strengthening of the commercial, financial and political good will pre- vailing between the two countries.
 Under a policy similar to that de- veloped by the American government in te-bellum days-termed in an apt phrase dollar diplomacy Australian commonwealth has given official support to the ambitions of it's agricultural, industrial and mercantile interests for international trade eX- fpansion.
 |. Recent arrival here of an Austra- Han commissioner has called atten- tion to a new departure in gcvern- mental action with the British Elm pire. The mother country hitherto has directed her international relations and those of her colonies from Lon don. Yet Australia's venture has been approved by the British Government, SlIHI I1tlIy bI dOOOIl, dppOlul6u LO the newly created office, is vested with full authority to lay the foundations for q great Australian n-American trade i after the war and to negotiate for an 1 interchange of credits to finance it and shipping to carry it.
 | Because his mission is one of busi- ness rather than diplomacy, Mir Brad i don has established headquarters in
 this city the nations financial and commercial capital He frankly pre-
 diets that Australia with 5O,0OO of her
 sons killed in battle and 10O,00 oth-
 CTS on the casualty lists, will want no
 dealings with Germany. His chief
 job, then, as he sees it, is to encourage America to take Germany's place as l the principal buyer of Australian pri- mary products-wool, wheat and meat 1-and as the leading source of supply of manufactured articles imported by the commonwealth.
 Incidentally, he hopes to hasten de- livery from Pacific coast shipyards of | fourteen cargo vessels ordered by his | government, and which will form the nucleus of the Australian-America
 carrying trade.
 Owing to his overwhelming inter-
 est in the war-he has three sons
 with this countrys 100000 men in
 the British army-Mr. Bradden would
 have found it diffiucult, he declared
 on arriving here, to devote himself tc
 a peace time project but for his firm
 belief that much mutual good can
 come of better acquaintance between Australia and "the states" as Amer. ics is universally known in the An tipodes. With this object in view, he , announced, a plan to set up as 8 branch of his commission a bureau tc 7 furnish the American press with the Thigh spots" of Australian news.

in ones mind. Look toward the eastern horizon, and you will see, al most perpendicular to the horizon, three fairly bright stars lying on z. straight line, with the middle one eX- actly half way between the outer two. As the sky turns westward the three stars will take up a position such that the imaginary line joining them will be horizontal. This trio consti- tutes the belt of Orion.
 To the northward of the belt is the reddish Betelgeuzo Cor Betelgeux) and to the south the brilliant white star

 Though the entire sky Is fairly well sprinkled with stellar beauty, there is a certain patch of the heavens which seems to be just a bit more favored than the rest, and this is just rising over the horizon at the time of our map. Broadly speaking, this part comprises the neighboring constella- tions, Taurus, Auriga, Geminl, Orion, Canis Major and Canis Minor, the latter two not yet appearing on the map. Within these groups are in- cluded no less than seven first-mag- nitude stars out of the twenty which the entire heavens hold and out of the fifteen which ahe visible from these attitudes. Several O. the other mar vels of the sky are included in these groups. but we shall confine ourselves this month to the two groups Orion and Gemini, which are newcomers on the map.
 Gemtni.
 Genini, the Heavenly Twins, con tains the two stars, Castor and Pol lux, which give the name to the con stellation, besides several of lesser note. Though, officially PolluX alone Is of the first magnitude, Castor Is very nearly as bright. and the two certainly seem to merit their namc of twins. for they are only AS de- grees apart and are easily recognized because of this proximity. Castor Is +h one which is nearer to the North Pole.
 Some 300 years ago an astronome! made a list Of stars, and to him it ap peared that Castor was the brighter of the two, and therefore he named 1t Alpha Geminorum, calling Pollu! Beta Gominorums This certainly in dicates that a change has taken place in the relative brightness of the tw, stars, for Castor must have been a least as bright as his twin. We can not presume that the astronomer il question made a serious blunder: tn older astronomers were just as kee! and able as those of today, the dii ference lying entirely in the instru ments at their disposal.
 Az 2 matter of fact, Castor is reall r- far the more interesting star o the two.

ONLY NEED TO CURB WASTE
Writer Points Out Reasons Why 1t Is
Not Hard for American People
to Save.

l do not know of thing which ev-
eryone Of us needs to keep closer to
his consciousness than saving wher-
ever and whenever possible. What
most of US are prone to forget is our
greatest assets at this time-the
amount and extent of what we can
save. AS people and as individuals we
have been needlessly and disgrac cefully
wasteful, have spent money, food. en-
ergy, productivity, simply because we
were too lazy and Indifferent to get no
more than we needed to satisfy our
reasonable desires. Seriously, that
past wastefulness is just now about
our greatest asset. We can save what
we must without involving a degree of
real sacrifice which the French, Bel
gian, and English people had at once
to face. As I look upon it, saving at a
real cost to ones comfort, ideals, and
perhaps health is not an easy thing,
though very fine one. But saving for
such easy-going reckless spending peo-
pie as we have been. means so little
sacrifice of anything necessary or
worth while that a man or woman will
be some sort of yellow cur or name
less pup not to do his or her utmost
every day and every hour to save, save,
save-and win.-By Roland G. Ushe of
