CONJUNCTION
Still Subject Of Much Town
Talk-Further Reflections
WORST IS YET TO COME

That the planetary conjunction is
still uppermost in the minds OF some
OF the people, is evidenced by the CON
versation and after reflections" heard
on all sides
We'll, said DR.. Garner, coming into
the Capital Office this morning, we
don't seem TO have suffered much
damase from the planetary conjunc-
ton. But we should give heed to the
old prOyerb, not to cry before We are
out Of the woods. 1t depends upon
the nature OF the harm. as TO whether
it would happen Immediately or
several months hence II the earth
is to be pulled out OF its orbit by the
combined attraction OF the other plan
cts. il would be some time before it
would be far enough out OF its regu-
lar orbital course for us TO expert
ence any Inconvenience in the way OF
temperature, which would come from
our being further away from the sun.
About a week ago. when extremely
low temperature prevailed on the Pa
citic coast, a philosopher out there
predicted that it was the beginning
OF what was surely going to happen
in the same line"
The good man seems not to have
considered the situation properly
While the combined attraction OF
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune
might affect the orbital position of
the earth, we must not forget that
Mercury and Venus are between the
earth and sun, and Uranus is on the
opposite side of the sun. These three
planets and the sun are all pulling in
the contrary direction. This combin-
ed force will be more than
enough to counterbalance the attrac-
tive energy OF the other planets in
conjunction and keep the earth in its
regular orbit.
There is another possible way of
bringing about lowering OF the tenn
perature in our latitude. The poles
three and one half degrees to the
plane of its orbit This position of
the poles causes our seasons. 1t is
just possible that the gravitational
forces, now influencing the earth
might pull the poles over, making
them coincide with the plane of its
orbit, and causing her to expose more
or her antarctic regions to the heat
OF the sun. and bringing the artic
cold nearer to the equator Being Of

STATE GAME WARDEN
SAYS FEED THE BIRDS"
IN COLD WEATHER

State Game Warden F. Lee lie
Compile yesterday made an earnest
plea for feeding of birds. He said
"At this time of the year, previous
10 severe cold weather or heavy SHOWS,
ii is always necessary 10 call the at
tention of the public to the necessity
OF feeding the birds. A State may do
a great deal in the way of restocking
depleted coveys. but more can be gain
sd by the saving what we have than
purchasing at great expense large
quantities OF birds. 1t is only neceS-
5ary for farmers and sportsmen and
bird lovers to devote little time and
a small amount OF grain to save many
birds throughout the State Of Mary
land, and have large numbers of quail
and other valuable birds. A shelter
provided for them to protect them
from the snow or a place scrapped
bare in the snow and feed scattered
thereon Will accomplish great
amount of good and the Conservation
Commission Of Maryland urgently re-
quests all those who are interested 10
do what they can, If there Is any cola
weather or snow during the coming
months. to save the birds.
The following little verse has been
issued by Miss Gertrude knevels. sec
retary Of the Forest Hill Gardens Au
dubon Society, as a Christmas card. 1t
is passed on in this manner so that
you will help us to feed the birds:
How big your nest is, neighbor man,
How bountiful your fare.
While small birds in the wind and
snow
Are starving everywhere.
Some scattered crumbs, a little seed,
A drop of water too;
And we will sing our gratitude
Big Brother Man, to you.
