CONJUNCTION Of
PLANETS OCCURS
ON DECEMBER I
tChicago Tribune.D

On December II there will be a
conjunction of all the planets. the
been called on to interpret the event
and explain lust what the effect of il
Will be on the earth.
a league of planets, all pulling in
unison, is nothing new. such group
iEgs are constantly forming and
breaking as the planets pursue their
separate paths about the sun. The
only startling thing about this con-
junction is the unusual compass-all
the planets except the earth will be
included in it.
According to the theories advanced
by some astronomers, such a league
of worlds, all pulling together on one
spot on the sun may render the sun
unstable and liable to erupt great
clouds of flame. 1t is a well known
fact that tongues of fire frequently
do shoot up from the sun for hundreds
of thousands of miles If such a burst
should touch the earth we undOubted-
ly would be consumed. But the happy
part of ii is that no such explosion
ever came near reaching the earth.
although it is possible that its heat
affected our climate a little
A perhaps more reasonable eXpec-
tation is that the league of planets
may affect the suns magnetism and
active of late. It's surface is torn by
storms, and great quantities of cleo
tricity have been shot out. Some OF
it has reached the earth where 1t
produced brilliant auroras in the sky
Sun spots do affect the earth's cll-
mate to noticeable degree when they
persist for a long time. They make
the entire earth about per cent cool
er, and increase the proportion of Ill
ira violet light coming to US. The
rays of blue and ultraviolet light are
harsh, These are the chemical rays
that produce the killing effect of sun
light on low organisms. Some people
are affected by ultraviolet light on
cold, raw days the blue sky is filled
with the rays of this light and those
who are susceptible often suffer.
The league of planets may possibly
cause an increase in the quantity of
ultraviolet light the earth receives,
but at the most 1t will not be much.
This about exhausts the possible
things that the great conjunction NAV
do to the earth. To say that the
world is coming to an end because of
it is the widest and silliest eXaggera-
ton.
The conjunction will be fine sight
in the morning sky The planets are
now rapidly nearing the line they will
hold on that date. You can see them
clearly in the east before dawn The
first of the string is Jupiter then
comes the star Regulus, then Saturn
and Mars, the star Plea. and Venus
with Mercury i'm the rear, near the
sun. The earth is so far to one side
that we will get an excellent view of
the whole phenomena.

PROF. IBARRA GINS
UNIVERSITY FACULTY

Interest at the university in the
teaching of Spanish, French and 1tal.
ian is being increased by the arrival
of Assistant Professor A. lbarra Ro-
jas from Chicago Mr.. Ibarra is q
graduate of the Universidad de BARGE
Iona (Spain), has attended the Uni
versity of Bordeaux (France), and has
also studied law in Chicago. He is a
son of a Spanish father and French
mother and speaks Spanish. French
and Italian fluently.
Although Mr.. Ibarra is q young
man, under thirty years of age, he
brings to the post of assistant profess
sor of romance languages at the uni
versity considerable experience in the
teaching of modern languages. He
taught two years at the Institute Supe-
rior de Occidente, Leon, Mic, G. A.,
one year in the Seminario Conciliar de
San Ramon, Leon, Mic, two years in
the Chicago Law School, Chicago, H..
and during 1918, was interpreter of
the Headquarters, Base Section No, 2,
A, E. F., of the American army in
France. He conducted course in
the French language for soldiers. He
has given private lessons for the last
seven years.
Professor Ibarra holds the degrees
of Bachiller de &C. IL, Universidad
De. Barcelona, and LIB, Chicago Law
School.
In addition to his experience in
Spain and France, Professor Ibarra
has also lived for years in South
America and has had practical en-
ployment with large business corpora
tons 1t is expected that a new course
which will be of great use at the uni
versity will be one in commercial
Spanish, which will probably be Of
fered in the near future. The work of
Mr. lbarra will be watched with keen
interest by the citizens of New Mexico
and friends of the university.
1t is a matter of keen regret that
the temporary illness of Miss Edna
Oakley compels her withdrawal from
the university She is admired greatly
by her pupils and by the faculty.

A HustIins Citizen.

The Free Press is pleased to say,
without fear of successful contradic-
tion, that H L. Felten is one of the
most public spirited, hustling citizens
in Hays City today.
The Felten block on West Second
street consisting of five splendid busi-
ness rooms is one of the evidences of
Mr.. Felten's public spirit and his abid-
ing faith in the future of Hays. The
buildings were erected during the first
year of Americas entrance in the
World War-when labor was beginning
to get scarce and money close. They
were finally finished and are all occu-
pied by enterprising business men.
Felten's Transfer Line has the bulk
of the business of the city-which
keeps several teams and auto trucks
busy all the time. About year ago
he purchased the entire plant of the
Pure Ice Company and employs a num-
Der of men furnishing pure ice for the
city-besides he ships large quantities
, of ice in car load lots to the nearby
] towns
He also has recently added plant
for the manufacture of pure ice cream
and is furnishing good wholesome
cream to a number Of towns along the
Union Pacific. The business is increas-
ing rapidly and soon the product of the
Felten Ice Cream plant will be known
far and wide for the excellency Of its
product.
Recently he sold the lots where his
transfer barn stood and has secured
lots near his ice plant on South Fort
street, and has commenced the erection
of large two story barn. The barn is
situated just across the street east
from the ice plant which will greatly
ftcilitate the delivery of his products,
pure ice and ice cream.
Mr.. Felten is not only hustler but
his honesty is beyond question. A man
told the writer recently, who had work
ed for Mr.. 'Felten several months, that
his word was worth 100 per cent. He
always made good all his promises of
whatever nature. While Harry has
had his ups and downs, as the saying
goes, he has been very successful in all
his ventures and he is always cheerful
and pleasant to his friends and custom
