The diplomatic representative of the United
states at the City Of Mexico left in doubt
late Saturday night whether he would be allowed
to grace the inaugural ceremonies there today with
his presence. 1t feared. according to the dis
patches that If he be present that would be
taken recognition by the United States of the
new Mexican government
That would not necessarily be SO, especially IL

SCIENTIST BRINGS
NUMBER OF STARS
MEASURED To 100

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Nov. Is.
Dr. Samuel Alfred Mitchell, director of
the Leander Mccormick observatory
at the University of Virginia, who has
measured more stars than any other
astronomer in the world, today brought
his grand total UP to $50.
The astral body whose parallax has
| Just been taken is known as 81 CeA-
1t is invisible to the naked eye and il
star so tiny that its measurement
can be recorded only by the most pow
erful of lenses. With light travelling

| tended over period of two years. For
| purposes Of working out its exact
angle, relative to the earth's surface,
/ five series of Photographic plates We're
taken at intervals of six months. A
mistake of one ten thousandth of a
rn,llimeter at any stage of the under
taking would have spelled ruin for the
accuracy of the parallax-
The Mccormick telescope Is the
fourth largest in the United STAGES and
is equipped with twenty-six inch
lens. 1t is valued at 100000. While
| the task Just completed was arduous
in the extreme, DIR. Mitchell does not
regard it as difficult as the taking OF
the parallax of Epsilon Lyrae, accom-
plished by him several years ago
Light from this star requires 500 years
to reach the earth.
The director is particularly gTatified
that he could bring his record up to
the even figure OF $50 during the year
that the University of Virginia cele-
brates it's centennial anniversary
With the exception of twenty-fiv I've

BLOOD MONEY

One hears about somebody other being forced
to give up blood money" That extortion has been
practced, it is understood And sometimes the words
are used to convey the idea that reward had been
paid for turning a criminal to the law.
Along there in the middle ages when people were
rough and killers abroad blood money
meant the money actually paid for shedding blood.
Sometimes it meant money paid to for bringing
anothers death, the slayer himself might pay it
his victims nearest relatives to himself from
their vengeance.
In the old days the amount of blood money varied
with the crime. Unfortunately there is evil
dence that killers for price have yet been ban
ished from the earth But they ought to be, and
be they win be. Blood money" the old the
language
