Giant Star May Be $40 Million
Miles in Diameter, Says Pro-

lSSSOEs
Charlottesville, Va, Jan. S.-Betel-
geuse, the giant star, whose dimen-
sions and distance have just been
measured by Prof. Albert A. Michel
son, of the University of Chicago,
may be twice as large and twice as
far away as announced by the Chi
cago physicist, according to state
ment today by DR.. S. A. Mitchell, di-
rector of the Leander Mccormick
Observatory of the University of Vir-
ginia.
Addressing the American Physical
Society, Prof. Nicholson claimed that
by perfecting the interference
method" of measuring star diameters
he had determined the diameter of
Betelgeuse to be 26O,OOO,ooO miles,
and that, with light travelling at the
rate of 10000 miles per second, the
star is $50 eight years" away from
the earth.
Instead of these measurements,
DR.. Mitchell states that Betelgeuse
may be 520,00O,0O0 miles in diamet-
er and it's distance from the earth
800 eight years." He further states
that the stars exact measurements
will not be definitely known until
March 1922, when Photographic
measurements extending over pc
riod of two years at the Mccormick
Observatory will be made public.
These measurements are being made
by DR.. H. L. Alden of the University
of Virginia.
The University of Virginia as
tronomer, who returned here today.
after listening to the paper read by
Prof. Nicholson, fortified his asser-
tions with the following explanation:
'tProf. Nicholson, with his magnifi-
cent mechanism ability and active
brain, has succeeded in measuring the
angle at the eye that Betelgeuse
subtends. He did this with the aid of
a special "bridge," which superim-
posed upon the 1OO-inch rejecting
telescope at Mount Wilson, gave it
a real diameter of twenty feet.
'"Frof. Nicholson determined ac-
curately the angle at the eye. To de-
termine the diameter Of the star in
miles, however, it is necessary to
know its exact distance from the
earth, or it's parallax measured by the
Yale heloimeter-a small six-inch
lens. His measurements of the an
gular diameter of Betelgeuse is ac-
curate within 10 per cent.
"The task of actually measuring
the distance or parallax of Betel-
geuse was assigned to the observa-
tory of the University of Virginia
one year ago, and this parallax, de-
termined by Z series of Photographic
measurements extending over pc
riod of two years will not be known
until March 1922.
"It is obviously impossible for any
astronomer to work out through
trigonometry the exact size of a star
until the parallax is known. Betel-
geuse may be 800 light years from
the earth instead of $50 light years.
If the latter statement is true, the
diameter of Betelgeuse may be $780,
600. 900 miles instead of 260,OO0,O00.

Begin Each Day Anew.

=
A prominent business man, who al
ways seemed fresh and full of vim
and vigor, although he had a multi
tude of cares in the corporation with
which he was connected, was asked
one day how he managed to keep him
self in such good physical and mental
condition, free from worry and dis
traction. His reply is well worth re-
membering:
81 retire from business every night
when l leave the Office" he said,
"and begin business afresh every
morning"
In other words, he meant that he
did not allow the cares and worries
of business to stand over him as
threatening menace when the days
work was done. When he left the
office, he literally retired from busi-
ness until the next morning. His
home life, his social duties, his pleas
ures, were never tinged with the
thought of the perplexing problems
that the next day was sure to bring.
By this method, old age was kept at
distance, worry was stranger, and
each day was begun anew with a
fresh inspiration to meet, and over
come the difficulties which might
arise in the complexities of business
life.
What is true regarding business is
equally true in relation to the other
activities and experiences of life.
Many persons will not allow their
yesterdays to remain buried. They
still live in the past and constantly
keep the sorrows and, perhaps, mis-
deeds of bygone years before them.
1t was Susan Coolidge, thinking
along this line, who wrote:
every day is fresh beginning,
Every day is the world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and
SHINING,
Here is beautiful hope for you,
A hope for me and hope for you"
To the man and woman whose ex-
periences Of yesteryears have been
better and still rankle in the memory
reaching out to clutch the heart and
cause it pain, to begin afresh each
day is solution of their trouble.
What if the years have been wasted,
what if they have brought sorrow
and distress and bitterness? They
are gone, never to return. Blot them
out of your memory as if they had
never been. Think no more of the
past, but greet the dawn of each day
as the birth of a new world for you;
a world which pain and sorrow has
not touched; world that by your
own actions you can make worth liv-
ing in, for yourself and others.
And don't let the clouds of today
reach over and make tomorrow day
of gloom. Perhaps at this very mo-
ments things are going wrong with
you. Today you have passed through
an unpleasant experience. You have
been hurt by an acquaintance, know
ingly wounded by one whom you
have considered your friend, defraud-
ed perhaps, by one in whom you had
implicit trust. Don't let that cause you
to be cast down. When you retire and
close your eyes, say to yourself,
Tomorrow will be new day; l shall
awake upon a world made new

Export Apples
Direct From
Pacific Coast

This is the first year that an
pies have been exported direct to
Europe from Pacific coast points.
During the last year several large
steam ships have been equipped
With refrigerator space for hand
ling apples and q number OF the
large apple shipping organizations
Of the northwest have been taking
advantage OF this means Of secur-
ing cheaper transportation rates
A box OF apples shipped by the
water route can be landed in Eng
land for a dollar a box, which
means saving Of nearly Is cents
a box over shipping by rail to
New York and thence by water.
The Oregon Growers association
mas exported nearly 1900 boxes
from the Umpqua and willamette
valleys and 1t is expected that the
total viii pass the 25,OnO mark
before the season is over.
Small sized apples bring nigh
er prices on foreign markets than
IN the United States and the as
sociation has segregated its small
apples for export in order to take
advantage of this condition.
Cars for export have been ship
pea from Roseburg, The DaIles,
sutherlin, Sheridan, Forest Grove
and Corvallis.

Albany. Or, Nov. 2.-The MUIR
der or John Painter, So, and mis-
son. william Painter, 10, was re-
yealed Tuesday when their bodies
were found In shallow grave on
the Painter farm. about seven
miles northeast Of Lebanon. Peter
Beebe, who Is not sure whether ne
will be 25 or 26 his next birthday,
was in the Linn county jail here
today and District Attorney Lew
elIfng said that ne would file Q
charge OF first degree murder
against Beebe. The three men had
been living together on Painters
400-acre farm since last January
Beebe, after his arrest, asserted
that the elder Painter shot his son
on Wednesday, October 10, and
then committed suicide, and that
in compliance with the elder
Painters request Beebe buried the
two bodies the next day In grave
which he said the elder Painter
had dug In the timber about half
mile from the house after he had
killed the boy.
Inquest Held Over Bodies.
Al pOst-mortem examination OF
the badly decomposed bodies was
held last night at the Painter
farm by DR.. Booth and DR.. Irvine
Of Lebanon. following a coroner's
inquiry in the afternoon. The
verdict OF the coroner's jury was
that the two men died from gum
shot wounds inflicted by an un-
known person.
His arrest caused Beebe no ap-
parent concern. He even stood un-
moved IN the crowd around the
grave while the bodies were being
unearthed. Apparently he Is much

ing practically blind at the age Of
seven. he never vent to school a

read nor write. He was unable TO
see until about two years ago,
when an operation for removal Of
cataracts from his eyes was suc-
cessful and he can now see with
the aid OF glasses.
The disappearance OF Painter and
his boy from their farm began to
cause alarm among neighhors aev-
eral days ago, and Sheriff Kendall
was notified Friday night. He
went to the Painter farm Saturday
70 investigate.
Beebe. who was said TO have
told stories varying considerably
III details, then told the sheriff
that the father and son had quar-
relied on Tuesday. October is, and
on the following day and that then
the boy ran away to California. He
said the elder Painter left for
Pennsylvania to visit daughter
and turned over to him tBeebel
the horses, cattle and other per-
sonal property on the farm In pay
ment OF $500 wages due him.
Beebe first said that Painter had
told him he would write what to
do about the farm, but the next
day told the sheriff Painter had
told him he could use the farm for
paying taxes and keeping up the
fences.

Recognizing that the labor group and

nature OF things partisan of the re-

unnecessary to invite these two
groups because their attitude would
necessarily be partisan in any con-
sidcrat!cn Of wage questions The
labor group could lie expected TO
advocate maintenance OF the highest
possible wages, while the managing
group could equally be cypcrtca To
insist that wages ought To lie re-
