Velocity Of Stars.

From the spectroscOpic measure
ments made at Mount Wilson observa-
tory to determine the radial velocity
of stars ii. e., the speed with which
they are approaching or receding from
our solar system), it appears that the
star A. G. Berlin 1866 has a radial We
locity of 339 kilometers per second,
the highest constant velocity so far
observed for any star. Next to this
comes Lelande 1866, with velocity OF
325 kilometers per second, in the op,
posite direction.

COAL RUN AREA FOR

Athletic Field is Suggested
AS One of the Fea-

Although no vote was taken storm
Of applause burst forth from the 1l6

gestion was made that Coal Run area
between the new South side bridge
and Locust avenue be converted into
park and public playground as a
memorial to Marion county boys who
participated in the Great world war.
For months suggestions have been
made but last nights gathering was
the first time 1t was put up to the
boys themselves and in fact 1t was
the only gathering of returned men
held thus far in the county. While
dozens of citizens have made sugges.

the service should have the SAY so"

by the people, numbering a dozen or
more. None seemed to appeal like

and a running track could be laid out
on the plot, The place could be flood

was school commissioner of Newton county. the
county in which the first boys corn club in the
United States was organized. Stone established
travelling libraries in the common schools, the
books being placed in cases equipped with handles
and taken from one school district to another
According to reports of some of the club wo-
men at recent convention of the Women's clubs
of the Second district at Tifton the circulating L.
Drary IS not always success. One of the women
said that sometimes when a committee went to a
school to take up the library and send it to an
other school, they would find the books had never
been unpacked. At other points the library work
ers did not fare this WELL they found that the
books had been distributed among the children and
had disappeared Where there is local interest
In books, the school library is a most excellent thing
but it is best to cultivate this interest first.

Tested or could be aroused library was establish

the schools in the county have Libraries of their
