practicable in the early spring, using

Scientist Discovers That the Universe
Is One Thousand Times Greater
Than IL Has Been Thought.

Cambridge, Mass.-Dr Harlow Shap-
ley, the astronomer who recently came
TO Harvard from Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory in California. announces
that he has made discoveries that
reveal the universe to be a thousand
times greater than scientists have
thought
BY so doing he has relegated the
earth to a plane one thousand times
less important than it has heretofore
occupied. And instead of being in the
center Of things" as has been under
stood heretofore, he estimates it to
be something like 800, 600 OOO.OOOO OOO.-
OOO,OO0 miles from the center of the
universe.
Doctor Shapley is comparatively
young astronomer, yet he has won an
authoritative place in the science. He
is a graduate of the Missouri State
University and of Princeton. He was
identified with the Mount Wilson OBJ
servatOry seven years.
BY triangulation, taking the distance
between sun and earth as base for
measurements. scientists have record
ed vast distances, until such lines have
been extended hundreds of light years,
even to the border line of measure
ment. the Peiades.
The same Pleiades are scarcely I'm
the front yard Of Doctor Shapley's
galaxy, which he has measured and
found To be about 100000 light years
from end to end. 1t is a super-Milky
Way.
A light year, the distance beam
OF light will travel in one year, IS
6OOo.oOO,0o0,000 miles. 1t takes but
eight minutes for light to come to the

ONCE again we are hearing of
possible. war with Japan The danger
of such a thing is more probable now
than ever. The Japs hate US and
manifest it when an American travels
in their country. They also think they
have grievance andlthere are many
reports indicating their preparation
for war. We need not expect to have
any warning form the Japanese. They
strike, get the benefit of a surprise
attack and declare war afterward.
The present possibility of such pro-
cedure is not lost on the powers at
Washington and hundreds of officers
have, within a few weeks, been dis
patched to Hawaii and the Philippines.
Rather than talk disarmament as a
policy for this government, let US have
faith that those with an.intelligence
equal al least 10 ours. and with infor-
nation we cannot hope to get until this
period becomes history, will do that
which is best. - Whitewater Register a
