TO ARGUE NEWS
 PRINT APPEAL
 ON OCTOBER 6
Attorney General Asks Cir. cult Court to Revise Pres ent Prices If Found
 Unreasonable.

Washington, Aug. 21-The Depart ment of Justice today announced Oct 6 as the date for the hearing on the appeal of the Attorney General in the newsprint paper case before the Judges of the United States Circuit Court. The hearing will be held in New York before Judges Henry C. Ward, Charles M Hough, Henry Wade Rogers and Martin T. Man ton.
 The appeal was made in order to have the prices fixed for newsprint paper by the Federal Trade Commis- sion reviewed by the Circuit Judges according to an agreement made in November, 1917, between newspaper Publishers and manufacturers of news print paper.
 The prices so fixed were to remain in effect during the war and for three months thereafter. The Attorney General, acting as trustee for the publishers, or any of the manufac- turers, was given the right to ask the Trade Commission at any time to make an investigation and determine new prices should conditions change.
 Under this agreement the Federal Trade Commission held hearings and fixed new prices for paper as of April 1, 1918 and later after further hear ings made a supplemental report with prices effective as of May 1 and July 1, 1918. The Attorney General re- quested a rehearing on the supple mente1 order of the commission. On March 2S last the commission denied the request. The Attorney General asks the Circuit Judges to hear the appeal on behalf of 400 members of the American Newspaper Publishers Association and, if on review the prices fixed by the commission are found unjust, that the court de- termine reasonable prices effective as of May 1 and July l, 1918.

FIRST DIVISION
 PARADE TO BE
 REAL WAR SHOW
Artillery, Machine Guns and Motors Will Take Part in
 Fifth Ave. March.

Washington, Aug. 22.---The parade of the 1st Division of the American expeditionary force up Fifth avenue early in September will be the most pretentious of all divisional parades in this country.
 All of the artillery, machine gun, motor and other transportation em- ployed by 9 modern American di- vision on the battle front in France will be in the line, making a much more impressive spectacle than that presented by the men marching with out these features.
 Gen. Pershing was advised by Ald- jutant General Harris of this arrange ment yesterday. Among other things, Gen. Harris stated that ''by including the artillery, machine guns and other equipment not brought back by the men themselves the paradeS in New York and Washington will give the people of the country the first and only opportunity to witness the power of a division equipped for war"
 Gen. Harris also advised Gen. Per shing that all necessary artillery and other equipment will be furnished to the division after its arrival at New York.
 "The exhibitions in New York and Washington Gen. Harris said in his caiblegram, ''are deemed fitting fea- lures in the celebration of the return of the division that was first to go to France and last to return"

 Venus lnds its career as an evening star thb month and leaves the hea- tens shgularly devoid of planets, a state # affairs which we notice par licula-ly after the richness of the evening skies in planets earlier in the year. Mars. Jupiter and Saturn are morning stars in September, Trough the latter will not be easi y ebse<v <vable until the end of the month. Uranus alone finds a place On our monthly map,
 But in bright stars the sky Is still very rich. he map shows no less than 5even of the first magnitude. In the West are Arcturus and Antares; all most overhead is the notable trian- gle formed by Vega in Lyra, Deneb In Cygnus and Altair in Aquila, the Eagle. On the far northern horizon will be found rising the beautiful clear white Capella, and far down In the Southeast Is the very red star Fomalhaut in Piscus Australis, the Southern Fish, the great Square in Pegasus Is well above the horizon.
 One should not focus all ones at tention upon the brighter objects, for there Is many a light in the sky which, though it does not catch the eye as readily as the stars of the first magnitude, yet is of the great est interest when one knows some thing of what the astronomers have learned concerning 1t Let us take such b case in point Far in the Northeast Is the constellation of Perseus. and in it, on the map, you will find a star of the second magnitude called Al goL This Is what the astronomers call variable star, l. e., a star which changes In brightness To some persons who have read poetical all lusions to the immutability of the stars this may come as somewhat of a surprise; but the number of variable stars in the heavens is ex- tremely large The term variable ia never used by astronomers to indi- cate a change of position, but al ways Tefers to the brilliancy.
 There arc many different types of these variable stars: they are classi- fed according to the way in which their brightness changes Some are very irregular; in others the changes follow a definite cycle. always re- turning to the beginning state Such stars arc called periodical variabIes- Algol In Perseus is one of these; its changes In brightness have been ob- served for many years and can now be predicted with great accuracy. It's usual magnitude Is given as 2.2, but at regular intervals it's brightness falls off to the 3.4 magnitude. which represents a loss of about two-thirds of It's light This change takes place about every two days and twenty hours, approximately the decline in brightness taking about four and one half hours and the recovery three and one-half The minimum stage lasts about twenty minutes This variation In magnitude is quite great enough to make possible its observa- ton, without the aid of the teles- cope. by comparison with the neigh boring stars. which do not undergo such changes
 Many years ago an astromer sug- Eested a possible explanation of the Algol phenomenon, which has since been subsfantiated and established
