The Starry Skies m March
By PROFESSOR BARTON, Of the University of Pennsylvania.

To northern observers the most widely known constellation is Ursa Major commonly known in America as the "big dipper.' Scarcely less we'll known is the constellation Orion. The Pleiades are perhaps as well known as either but this group is not a constel- , lation, but only part of the constel- lation Taurus. As Ursa Major and Orion are now about equally well To- cated, we may profitably make a few comparisons of the consultations. Each constellation contains seven con- spicuous stars, in Ursa Major those which form the dipper and in Orion the three in nearly straight line in the middle of the constellation and the fcur which make a rectangIe about them. See Figure ]. Each constella- tion contains many other stars. First, We may compare the brightness of the stars. Beginning with the end of the handle of the dipper the magnitudes of the seven stars in Ursa Major are 1.9, 2.4, IT, S.4, 2.5, 2.4 and 20. The mag nitude measures the brightness of the star, Nthe small magnitudes represent
 ing the brightest stars. In Orion, Be- ielgeux, the star at the northeast cor ner is variable star, whose magni- tude changes between 10 and IA The star at the northeast corner is of | ' magnitude The stars at the south : eastern and southwestern corners are respectively of 2.2 and 03 magnitudes. The three stars in the middle of the
 constellation, commonly known as the belt of orion, are from east to west of 20, Is and 2.5 magnitudes respec-

, which blends with a certain personality, and one of the objects of the show will be to have the experts aid each woman in deciding what particular perfume or powder is best suited to her individuality Another expert will demonstrate the proper manner in which to apply the dlt- ferent articles of the toilette. In ex- blaming the purpose of educating Amer
 iean women in the development of beauty
 at the show, w G. Hamilton, director, said: American women are the most nat urally beautiful in the world. There is only one thing they may be said to lack ir comparison with the women of other l countries, and that is the art of ac- centuating and refining their loveliness. There is at present tendency on the part of women toward overdressng, ,arro1ang and too startling adorn- l nlent. Such a tendency, as well as the tendency toward dowdiness, can be cor l re cted only through widespread educa- tonal propaganda among our women. Invitations have been issued to cities 1 tf roughout the country to send their most beautiful women and girls. There wlll 1 be beauty contest for high school girls and other contests to determine the possessor of the most beautiful hair, eyes, complexion perfect figure, the best kept hands and the prettiest foot and ankle.
 1 Clothes will not play an important part l in the show, except in so far the ex- i perts will contrast the proper and inl-
