 The members of the local Food Ju- venile Army, composed mostly of pub lie school pupils, will give an exhibi- i tion at the town hall on the evening of Monday, Sept 30. Some excellent gardens have been developed by the youngsters and the display should be large and attractive. Through the agency of a corporation organized for that purpose by nine citizens, $100 will be drawn from the State treasury for distribution among the prize winners. In line with the same movement was a canning demonstration held at the Center school Tuesday afternoon un- der the direction. of Miss Green of Danbury.
 The financial showing made in the forthcoming annual town report should be satisfactory to the citizens. Notes to the amount of S3,250 were paid off during the year, and no new obligations of that form incurred. There is $2,O54 in the treasury and outstanding obligations falling due between the closing of the books Sept. 10 and Oct. 1, the latter the date ot the new fiscal year aggregate s4,057 Applicable as an offset to this sum II of the special tax yet to be collected and $S60 from the 1916 list of uncol- Ilected taxes The latter is practically a cash asset as it represents pay

BEDDING
Special to The Times.)

Bedding, Sept 26.---A concert of very high quality will be given at the Mark Twain Library on the evening of Oct. 5, the artists to appear being Ossip Gabrilowitsch and his wife Clara, who is the only surviving child of Mark Twain. MT. Gabrilowitsch is one of the worlds leading pianists and his wife a star concert singer. They made a public appearance here in the fall of 1909 at a library benefit entertainment, the others taking part being David Bispham and Mark Twain himself. The proceeds of the coming concert are for the fund which was started early in the war to provide special care for invalided Army and Navy men belonging to the artistic professions Mrs. Gabrilowitsch's con- tribution to the cause was the use of the Twain villa as hospital. There has been some talk to the effect that the Government refused to accept the tender of the building on account of the restriction regarding the class of patients, but there seems to be little or nothing in this report as shown by the fact that the offer received ac- ceptance and that a Government ar chitect subsequently, planned the re- quired alterations in the building. | Carpenters would probably now be working on them had not the archi- tect been temporarily called to an- other assignment before he finished 1 plans expansive of the original pro- :. ject. The private fund available for the undertaking is said to be large enough to meet all expenses even if
 no more aid were extended by the Government.
 In driving his Ford car l1omeward from Danbury last Saturday afternoon Marcus H. Burr had a serious mis- hap at Bethel. Through some fault with the steering gear, the breaking Iof the wishbone being advanced as one theory in explanation, the ma chine crashed violently against a tel. egraph pole by the roadside and was badly wrecked. Mr. Burr received ar upward propulsion which carried hin partly through the roof. He was no thrown clear of the car, however, ant escaped with slight injuries A com
 plalnt lodged against him for reckles! driving is now under investigation b1 the Danbury authorities. An impor
 tant point involved is whether tht breaking of the wishbone preceded
 the collision or was a result of it.

 Through careless driving Robert Ed wards of Stepney ran his car off the side of the bridge a short distance east of Jesse Sanford's residence last Saturday evening. The result was a breaking of the steering gear and the buckling under of the forward wheels. MT. Edwards was unhurt.
 It is reported that Miss Catherine Drier has sold her place in West Red ding to Attorney Granville Whittlesy of Danbury. The property was for merly owned by Charles Merchant and is quite valuable.

(By Dr. c. s. Brainin of the Colum- bia University Observatory Staff)
 The two great astronomic events of the past Summer, the total eclipse Of the E1n, visible in the United States, and the appearance of the new star in the constellation of Aquilla, have created renewed and widespread in- terest in astronomic phenomena and Ostronomie theories, which cannot fail to produce good results. Those of the laity whose curiosity has been stimulated strongly enough to follow further in astronomic paths will find themselves richly repaid by the won- der and the vastness of the fields into which they are led; and such an in terest evinced by the people at large is bound to have a beneficial reflec- tion on the science itself.
 The October sky is as fine a field of stars as is presented at any time and contains a good many points of particular interest The western half of the heavens, at the map time, with its great stars, Lyra, enDeb and All tair, the new star Nova Aquilae, and the fine little group of Corona Bo- realis, we have discussed in detail in previous months, and we shall there fore limit ourselves to the eastern half of the sky.

the S:5 magnitude, which means that it loses no less than hve-sixths Of its light. This great change occurs within the short space of four and one-half hours and 1t takes the star about three and one-half hours to re-
 gain its normal brilliancy. The mini mum brightness lasts only twenty minutes The phenomenon takes place every two days and twenty hours, and is easily observed by con- pairing it's brightness with the neigh boring stars.
 It is certain that the cause of the variation of Algol and the similar va riables is a temporary eclipse by dark companion. Algol and the dark
 body form a system, each body re- volving about the other, 1. e., about 1 their common center of gravity. It so
 happens that the earth lies very near | ly in the plane (extended) of their
 motions and when the dark body is
 between the Earth and Algol it shuts
 off part of Algors light from us. This
 is very similar to an eclipse of the
 Sun.

 Though the constellation Androme-
 da contains no first-magnitude stars
 it includes an object which Is one of

 We refer to the great spiral nebula
 which lies close to the group of Cas- siopedia. Of course the spiral struc- ture is not visible to the naked eye, lbut on a clear night the nebula can
 be distinguished as a faint but ha-
 Zily distinct star. Its haziness makes lit recognizable. In a telescope, the
 nebula is seen to occupy portion Of the sky about four times as long and twice as wide as the Moons d1ame- ter.
 A spiral nebula looks somewhat like a two-branched Fourth of July pin wheel in action, rather, it looks like , an instaneaneous photograph of such a pinwheel. for no motion of the two
 spirals of the nebula is visible in telescope. Yet such motion must un- doubtedly exist, and recently evi- ', dences of movement have been dis , lowered in a few nebulae. The or

discreet tongue brought the visits of the sea monster, Cetus-further to the south-which dcvoured one beautiful maid at every visit. The head of the monster Medusa, which turned Cetus into stone, is represented by the star Algol, together with the less brilliant stars surrounding it.
 It is interesting to note that Cetus | is separated from the other constel- lations of this mythological group by the Fishes, Pisces, which are not in any way connected with the story. Pisces is one of the constellations of the Zodiac, and it's identity goes back further than the entrance of the Greek mythology into the nomencla- ture of the stars; it was received from the Bebylonians, who were the real founders of astronomy. The Greeks could not change their ar Irangement of the Dodiacal groups which in the old days were looked upon with particular reverence.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 18.-Upon
the motion of the government, which
admitted that convictions in lower
courts were wrong, the supreme
court today set aside the convictions
of Emanuel Baltzer, William j. Hood
and 26 other residents of South Da-
kota, under the espionage act of
1917, and ordered a new triah
Baltzer and the other defendants,
most of whom are of German de-
scent, are farmers in Hutchinson
county, S. ID.
Their conviction resulted from the
formation by them of an organization
known as a German socialist local
and the sending to the government
of a petition protesting against the
alleged unfairness of the draft quota
allotted to their county.
Solicitor General King said, in ask
ing to have the convictions set aside,
that the government did not accede
to the defendants contentious that
the act prevented freedom of speech
or denies the right of ~peaceable as

based on other grounds, including OBJ
