MEASURING STAR DIAMETERS.
BY Paul H. Woodruff, in Popular
Mechanics Magazine.


1t is curious circumstance that
the diameters of the most remote
stars expresse in millions of miles,
should be successfully measured
with the same ruler that is used to
determine millionths of an inch in
laboratories. The phenomenon of in
terference of light is the principle
used in the instruments for both pur-
poses, and with its aid Prof. A. A..
Nicholson recently discovered that
the star Betelgeuse, in the constcl-
lation Orion, is 260,00O,OOO miles in
diameter, or as broad as 800 suns.
with mass equal to 27,000,00O suns
Students of physics know that n
beam of light, passing the edge of
an Opaque screen, is slightly defect
ed, the extent depending on the wave
length. To use this attraction prin-
ciple, the telescope is closed by a can
with two Sits, adjustable in width
and separation. If the two beams
through the Sits differ by half
wave length when they meet below
the cap, they interfere, producing
"fringes" of light and darkness. RS
separating the Sits until the frinees

A SWEEP OF POsTMAsTERs

! The idea seems to prevail in Re-
publican circles, TINT there will be n
general sweep of Democratic office
holders, in so far as these are not
protected by the classified service. Ii
so, the new president is going to
make great mistake. The people
are sick of this constant rotation in
/ office.
Ii new manager on taking charge
of business. asked whether his sub
ordinates agreed with him political
ly, and if he discharged those belong
ing to the opposite party from his
own, he would be considered wholly
incompetent. He could never succeed
in organizing production until he for
got about political considerations.
Mr.. Harding's new administration
would be stronger if it let all faith
full office holders retain their Jobs
regardless of politics. 1t may be I'D
mitted that executives in charge of
departments need to be in sympathy
with the new management. But in
other cases, political considerations
should be ignored, as they would be
in private business.
1t mny be said that both parties
have heretofore followed this prac-
tice of making political removals,
when an administration changed.
That is no doubt true, and both par
ties are to blame. But the admins
tration that should have the wisdom
to discontinue this unbusiness like
course, would go long way to please
the people. who are sick of the
.squabbles over office and the pulling
and hauling of politicians.
Considering the tremendous army
of hungry Office seekers who are now
taking up the time of the Republi-
can chiefs, it is too much to expect
this to be done. Perhaps when the
Democrats get back to power thew
will be able to see far enough into

On Friday, March 18th the Board
of Trustees of Averett College, Dam
vile, Va. by small majority vote,
fired the President of the College,
DR.. Clayton Z. Grassland, formerly
President of Fork Union MilitniN
Academy, in this State.
DR.. Grassland is thirty-fvc years
old, a Rhodes Scholar who stands Mt
the top, or near the top, of the lad
der, among men of his age. What
was the trouble? According to news
paper reports, DR.. Grassland was
mot sufficiently orthodox for Bap-
fist school," Not that he was incfrc-
lent. Under his management the in
come of the school was increased
four fold, and attendance more than
SO per cent. 1t was not question
of efficiency or lack of success in the
school, that caused the trouble.
The height of his offending seems
to have been, that he Smoked cigars,
and allowed the girls to dance" This
is all, so far as the public has been
informed. The public has nothing to
say MS to what rules and regulations
any Christian denomination sees,
cause to establish rs its rule of faith
and practice. However it is pertinent
to ask, why the denominations, all
oil whom have rules on their church
books forbidding dancing, do not en-
force the law in the individual church
and ut the same time forbid it in "a
seminary in which there are pupils
of all denominations and of no de-
nomination at all? The general pub
lie will naturally conclude that there

their disapproval of the action OF
the Trustees in Diminishing the popu-
lar and efficient President of the
school.
But here is the suggestive and in
applicable part Of this whole pro
ceeding:
The Chairman of the Board of
Trustees wrote DR.. Grassland, four
years ago, the then President of
Fork Union Military Academy: 1--WE
are sadly in need Of man of cul-
ture and refinement, like yourself,
and also of your push and progress
sive spirit. | believe God has
directed us to you" DR.. Grassland
accepted the position. Now he is
dismissed. Some one was mistaken.
DR.. Grassland lsmoked cigars when
the chairman wrote, 81 believe God
has directed us to YOU" Did God
order his dismissal? A mistake seems
to have been made somewhere.
Some years ago the pastor of n
prominent church, sent in his resig-
nation, stating, that after "prayer-
full consideration" he had decided
that the Lord wanted him in an
other church to which he had been
called, which would afford him Il
wider field of usefulness, and that he
mad reluctantly decided to accept
the call. On the next Wednesday
evening the officers of the church
met and voted an increase of $500. 90
to the pastors salary, and the resig.
nation was withdrawn.
1t is not an easy matter to judge
OF the ways of Providence, Boards
of Trustees and church officials. 1t
is easy, however, to conclude that
the Lord wants done the things we
want to do. The debaclc in Danville
has it's lesson.
