By Dr. c. S. Brainin of the Columbia
 University Observatory Staff.

The February evening sky is fort unate in possessing both Jupiter and saturn, the largest planets of the so- lar system. Jupiter will be found al- most overhead, making a fine triangle with the Heavenly Twins, Castor and PolIuX Further to the east is Sa- turn, quite close to the royal star Regulus Of the constellation of Leo, Mars and Venus also may be ob- served this month; they are close to- gether in the western sky, and must be looked for just after sunset as they both disappear below the hori- zon well before the time of our map. It is not a very common occurrence that on a single fine evening all these planets should be observable, and it is an opportunity well worth taking advantage of. Another thing which favors the amateur astronomer this month is that all the planets are in positions which make them very easy to recognize.
 The Satellites of Saturn.
 We had occasion last month to dis cuss the famous rings of the planet Saturn and some of the interesting historical facts in connection with them. Very few people know that Sa- turn possesses also a numerous fami- lv of satellites, no less than nine One of these is even visible in a small telescope, though perhaps not as easily observable as the four large moons of the planet Jupiter. Cali leo did not discover this satellite; it was first observed and recognized in 1855 by Huyghens, the same who dis covered the true nature of the mya- terious appendages of Saturn r. ported by Calico. Of the remaindt
 four were discovered by Cassini, two by William Herschel, one by Bond and Lassen and the latest by w. H. Pickering as late as 1890. The I0rgest moon, Titan, has a diameter of !; 2out 5000 miles and is therefore larger than our satellite. The distance of Saturn Is, however, so great that the sizes of the satellites cannot be ac- curately measured, but must be judg- ed from their brightness only. The outer one, which seems to be the smallest, is probably only about 200 miles in diameter.
 This tiny member of Saturns fami- ly is really the most interesting of them all, because 1t has what Is call ed rotrograde motion. In contra dis tinction to the general motion of bdies in the solar system, it moves In its orbit from east to west, instead of from west to east. All the plan cts rotate on their axe and revolve in their orbits in a west-to-east di- rection, one might say, opposite tc that taken by the hands of a clock
 Practically all the satellites of the 1 planets do the same, the exceptions | being, besides this one of Saturn's s ! the two outer ones belonging to Jup- { iter, the four which comprise Uran-
 us's family and the solitary moon ot i Neptune.
 Some Data About Saturn. The average diameter of Saturn is
 about 74,00O miles, and the difference l between the polar and the equatoria 1 diameters is Se great that it can be noticed even in a medium sized tele | scope (six-1nch). Curiously enough l the density of the matter making III

On account of the exemplary con- duct displayed during the War by alien enemies, many Germans and Austrians have been exempted from rules governing alien enemies by the Department of Labor and their pe- titions for citizenship will be heard before Judge Greene of the Superior Court on February 4th.
 This is a very liberal action on the part of our Government when one must consider that the war is by no means ended and peace has not as yet been declared.
 The following is a list of names covering aliens who have been ex- empted and whose petitions will be heard. Other alien enemies will not find their names on the list for the reason that the Department of Jus tice has not had time to investigate all petitioners and make recommends tions to the Department of Labor. However, this does not indicate that the missing names are in had repute with the government. Petitioners who do not find their names In this list will be given consideration later on.

Saturn is the least of all the planets, being even lighter than water, so that, in spite of it's tremendously greater bulk, Saturn Is only ninety four times as heavy as the earth. Jupiter, whose diameter is only little larger, 88,0O0 miles; is over 300 times as heavy as the earth. If one took a body of Saturn's weight and exact size, it would float in an ocean large enough to receive it! And it is the only planet whose component materials have so low a density.
 Saturn's distance from the Sun IS about S6,0oO,O00 miles, and its pe- riod of rotation is correSpondin3ly long, twenty-nine and one-half years, but the time it takes to perform one axial revolution Is very short, only ten and one-fourth hours.
 Saturn has not yet attained the cool stage reached by the inner plan cts like the Earth and Mars. The very low density proves that the matter is still mainly gaseous. The surface is undoubtedly in a very mo- bile state, as is shown by the rapid changes which take place in the ap- pearance of the surface and the ab sOIute lack Of permanent markings.
 The Realm of Stars.
 The constellation of Leo, the Lion, is a newcomer on our map. It con tains three things of note: the stars Regulus and Denebola and the sub group of stars known as the Sickle. ReguIus, the royal star, was much yenerated in olden times, even though it Is not one of the most bril- liant of the first-magnitude stars. T. once marked the location In the heavens of the Sun at the hottest time of the year; this is no longer true, because the phenomeon called the procession of the equinoXes' has carried the consultations out of their original relations to the seasons. In the dawn of astronomy the Sun crossed the equator, bringing with 1t the summer to the northern lands. at T point in the consteIIation of Aries; , now the same phenomenon has car ried this point, the vernal eqinox, about thirty degrees into the group of Pisces.
 Regulus marks the handle of the Sickle, and the curved line of stars which trace out the blade Is easily recognize bIe from Regulus north ward. Denebola is not very bright star, but it is interesting, because i the great regard in which the an- l clients held this star and the mention | they make of it show that its bril- ! liancy must have once been consid- | erably greater than at present.
 1 Leo Minor, the Lesser Lion, is a 1 'modern" constellation, as the stars which compose 1t were not put into an independent group until the sev- | enteenth century, but previously had 1 been counted as parts of Leo and the | neighboring Ursa Major. Within the
 curve of the Dipper handle in the 1 Great Bear is another small group called Canes Venatici, the Hunting | Dogs. This group contains one of | the finest specimens of the spiral ne-
 bula in the entire heavens. It is al-
 so interesting because once an astron-
 omer tried to honor King Charles II 1 of England by naming the brightest l of the group Cor Carroll, Heart ot | Charles. This move met its proper
 fate at the hands of his colleagues and successors.

'WET" CHRISTMAS
MAY COME AGAIN

Washington, Nov. 17.-While the
argument on the validity of the war
time prohibition act will be heard by
the Supreme Court today Thursday,
November 20), decision is not ex-
pected before December 6, when the
court reconvenes, after a recess an
nounced to begin next Monday.
Meantime, the machinery for the
enforcement of the act which has
been set up by the internal revenue
bureau is getting under way and is
expected to be in full operation be-
fore the end of the week. John F.
Kramer of Ohio, assumed his duties
today as federal prohibition commits
sioner, and announcement of district
and state directors is expected with
in day or two.
Should the Supreme Court hold the
wartime act unconstitutional millions
of gallons of whiskey and wine would
be placed on the market Immediately
IN those states which had not voted
out liquor before the operation of
the federal act.
Those longing for "wet" Christ
mas are not placing all their hopes on
a favorable opinion by the Supreme
Court.
In spite of somewhat complicated
peace treaty situation in the Senate,
many opponents of prohibition ex-
pect peace to be an accomplished fact
by the end of the present term of
Congress. The White House has an
nounced that Immediately upon the
proclamation of peace President Will
son will declare wartime prohibition
at an end.

Engineer Quits Cab
ToRace With Essex


For years Paul Clancy, locomo-
tive engineer of Fargo, N. D., piloted
trains over the. steel rails of the
Great Northern. Now he has for
saken the iron trail for the dirt track,
and in stock Essex, which differs
from the standard car only inasmuch
as it is equipped with special rae
ing body. He is establishing a re-
markable racing record.
So great has been the success of
Clancy and his Essex that he has
given up railroading altogether. His
achievements on the dirt tracks of
North Dakota in the last six months
have Melted him over $4,000.
''This man, who is stalking his life
and money on his supreme conf
dence in the sturdiness, workman
ship and endurance of his Essex, is
an example of the way Essex owners
feel toward their cars" said T. C.
Sheridan of Franklinton, the local
Essex distributor. "Last February
Mr.. Clancy visited the Minneapolis
show in search of car that would
meet particularly exacting require
ments. With his practical knowledge
of mechanics and engineering he ex-
amined every car displayed and came
to the conclusion that the Essex was
the only one suitable to his needs.
''He bought an Essex, equipped
with the regular Ill gear ratio,
as an everyday automobile and not
a racer. After having driven his car
1000 miles he became so enthusiast
tic over its performance that he set
out to convince some of his skeptical
friends. They pitted cars against
him, and after several of these
brushes a match race was arranged
and staged at Ada, Mimi, July 4th.
Several specially built racing cars
were entered, but Clancy in his stock
Essex, with its Ill gear ratio,
walked away from the field. The
next day Clancy repeated his victory,
establishing beyond all question the
superiority of his car. 1t was then
that Mr.. Clancy ceased to be loco
motive engineer and took up racing
in earnest.
"Since that date Clancy and his
Essex have won four victories in six
starts, running second in the other
two. He won his third at Valley
City, N. D., July 18th, establishing
new time record for that track. In
free-for-all five-mile standing-start
race at Fargo, N. D., July Goth, he
took first place in $40. On Labor
Day, on the same track, he won the
five-r1ile stock car event in sat. On
September 18th, at Wheaton, Mimi,
he won second place against field
of special cars, being beaten by
eight feet by car that competed at
Indianapolis.
Eat Mandon, N. D., September 10, |
he was leading the field at the first |
mile by one-eighth when he blew |
tire. He finished on the rim, cross
ing the line second, just 80 feet be-
hind the winner. On the same day
at Valley City, N. D., he won against
ten specials, averaging Ito to the
mile and breaking track records.
"On the straight-away Clancy has
driven 78 miles an hour. He has
lone all his racing, however, on half
nile dirt tracks"
