The March sky is the inher!tor of the splendors of the past few months. The great winter cancellations aluS- tering about Orion and numbering so many bright stars are in the south western quarter of the sky at map time West of Alderbaran in Taurus will be found the group of the Hyades, which has had interest added to it by the fact that these stars were used by the British astronomers at the to- tai solar eclipse of May 29, 1919, in their test of the Einstein Theory of Relativity. Not far away is the clus- ter of the PIeiades. The Hyades are a far more open group. Orion with it's famous belt and it's two f1rst-mag- nitude stars, Betelgenze and Rigel, is to the south of Taurus. The easterly end of the belt points toward Sirius, the Great Dog Star. The Lesser Dog, Procfon, Is near the meridian, about he1f way up from the horizon to the zenith Along the meridian line, also but further up, is Pollux, the brigbteI of the Heavenly Twins; the otheI twin, Castor, lies close to it toward the northwest and is only very little inferior in brightness. Cape1la already has passed the meridian toward the west
 To the east of the meridian is a t1ne temporary STOup CCIupOSeu Ol Jupiter, ReSulus and Saturn in line from west to east Jupiter and Sat urn, the highest and the lowest ot the trio above the horizon, respective Iy, are, of course, the great planets of the solar system, while Regulus is a first magnitude star which belongs to the constellation of Leo, stretch ing out far to the eastward. Farther east stn1 is the small group of stars called the Coma Berenices, Hair o1 Bernice, the wife of one of the PtoIe- mics of Egypt. Far to the south o1 Coma is Crater, the Gun and to the northward is Canes Venatici, the Hunting Dog. The brightest star 0: the latter was called Cor Carroll, Hear of Charles, after King Charles O. H1ng1and, by an Englf4h astronomer but this name is not universally ac Enowledged. Eastward of Canes We natici is the constellation Bootes, thu Ox-Driver, with it's deep orange-col pred frst-magnitude star Arcturus.

to it. Arcturus is about 100 light years away from the earth and is about 800 times as great a radiating source of light and heat as our own sun, though it's temperature is only about half as high.
 Venus continues its career as morn ing star. Mercury will be evening star the first ten days of the month One must look for it just after sundown, near the horizon, where the sun has Just set. Only when the horizon is absolutely unobstructed and uncIoud- ed can one be lucky enough to catch glimpse of this elusive brother of the earth. Jupiter and Saturn will both remain with us the first six months of the year. Mars also is an evening star now, but rises too late
 to have a place on the monthly man: l it will make it's first appearance on
 our map next month. But if you wish 1 to see Mars this month you will find

Sugar eating has grwn so rapidly in this country as a substitute for in dulgence in alcohol that much ofs the wreckage of the liquor business is be- ing salvaged for the production of candy, ice cream and syrups.
 The Bartholomew brewing plant at Rochester has been turned into a big wholesale candy factory. The Har- ward Brewing Coo. in Massachu- setts has been turned into big choc- oiate factory. The Jacob RAppert brewery and other breweries are mak- ing a malt syrup which forms a basis for candies and confections. Many of the smaller brewerieS here would be in process of conversion into ice cream and candy factories now, if it were not for the hope that the Supreme Court would yet decide that the manufacture of 2.75 per cent beer were permissible under the prohibition endment. The Brewers Board of Trade has received a large number of inquiries from candy and ice cream makers who wish to purchase brewery property and the brewery trade papers are full of of fers from confectioners to buy brew cries.
 Such a trem ertdous demand has sprung up since last July for luxurious fittings for candy and soda parlors. A
 
 niture have enjoyed a fairly profita- ble season. W. c. Allen, manager of Froelich, Jacob Cabinet Works, one of the largest makers of bar fixtures said yesterday:
 t'The business of making bar fix lures, of course, is entirely at an end, but the making of similar furniture for other places has increased at a great rate and the business of cabinet making has had great period of prosperity. We have never had such a demand for fixtures for candy and so- da parlors good many fine bars have been sold to 'da parlors, and I believe that much of the glassware and other fittings have been sold for the same purpose. They brought lit tie or nothing compared to the orig inal price, fixtures which cost $20,- GOO selling for a few hundred. The ordinary bars, however, are not wortt anything more than they would bring for firewood.
 This firm has not missed the loss of bar fixture business. It seems as if every storekeeper has suddenly de cided to put a handsome new interior and show window into his place. There has been a big demand for fine fix. lures for showrooms in hotels and of fees. In consequence this business instead of having a slump, is being taxed to the limit.''
 Experiments of breweries all ovel the country will be told next weel at Atlantic City at the convention O the National Association of Brewers where one of the chief subjects unde consideration will be that of the mos successful use to which a br every cal be made over successfully for cand! and ice-cream factories, cold storage ware-housing and other purposes, tn big breweries u-'-'-' "acamc idle vii be white elephants on the hands O their owners, from present prospects

INVENTOR OF FLAT RECORD
 NEARLY LOST IT

There may be several epoch-mak- ing discoveries among the inventions now in process of being patented" says an old patent office official. If so, time only will prove them such. Never have I known the success of a. great invention to be perceived as it passed through this office. We thought the photograph would be a dictating machine only; none of US dreamed it would become a great medium of entertainment
 Neither can one foretell the meas ure of success that will meet more of the inventions that are merely ad- ditions to or improvements on old ones. The flat phonograph record is a good Illustration. The story of it's invention lay here for years before anyone realized it's full value. In fact, the inventor failed to keep his patent alive in other countries and lost his rights outside of the United States rights that earned him millions dur ing the last few years of the patents American life.''
 Hence the legal requirement that an invention must be useful to be entitled to patent can be met only nominally by the patent office exam I iners.
 q remember a metal heating proc ess that came through here once, 1 one of them says. we doubted il it were sufficiently original or usefu | to be entitled to a patent. But the patent was issued and the inventor i sold his rights for a few thousand dollars A few years later I learned 1 that the patent was earning about |; I, million dollars a year in royalties"

HOW TO WRITE ADVERTISING

An advertisement is well write when it makes an appeal to one q the basic desires of the buying pub lie. If you can find out what people most want, and show that your goods supply that want, you have sold them.
 A writer said before the war that the basic desires of women buyers. in such lines as dry goods, clothing, house furnishings, etc, is for Style, Service and Economy. The same writer today would probably reverse the order of importance, and put in Economy, Service, and Style.
 If you can show that you are giv- ing exceptional value, that your goods have enduring qualities of wear, and that they have the touch of modern style, you will sell them. The ad writer should bend all his 1 thought to making his notice convince the public that his goods have these l qualities. Quote prices, demon ! strate that the stuff comes from the most reliable sources, yet is offered at bottom prices, and show that it is | fresh and up to date.

CHANGING MONEY
 WAS SOME TASK
 FOR AVIATORs

Sydney, Australia, Feb. 26.-One of the aviation difficulties revealed by the flight of Captain Ross Smith from England to Australia was that of ob- taining money to pay bills in the currency of the country in which they happened to alight. Said one of the party: we would fly 800 or 500 miles and late in the day would arrive in a country with a new cur rency, and could not pay for oul things"
 They passed through extremes o1 temperature. They left England ir a snowstorm and at an altitude o1 5000 feet found their sandwiche. frozen and the coffee in vacuum bot ties almost congealed. When the, landed in Australia they found tht temperature 90 degrees in the shade
