-----er----------------~--- PHOTOGRAPHIC STARS

In the past 1t has been necessary to wait for an eclipse of the sun before it was possible to photograph a star In the vicinity, of the suns disk. The intensity of the light of the sun is so great that even the sky for a con siderable distance from it is very bright, and sufficient to overwhelm completely the image of any stars that might be in the field. This can be better understood when 1t is stated that the brightness of the sun is equal to 12o.oo0.OoQ.Oo0 first-mag- nitude stars.
 The subject of the apparent posi- ton of the stars, as seen near me suns limb, has recently become of great theoretical importance in con nection with the gravitational the ory of Professor Einstein, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. At the last eclipse photographs were ob- tained of stars near the sun; and the results appeared to indicate that Fin stein's theory was borne out. How ever, the question of fundamental i'm portance to physicists and astrono- mers, and the effects are so minute that further data are wanted before a final conclusion Is drawn; and 1t has been naturally assumed that ad- ditional information could not be ob- tained.

A HINDU VILLAGE

A
 From "Hera Singh and Ills Neigh
 bors, by Narain Ashutor, in Asia
 Magazine.
 The streets in which the petty ac- tivities of the town were carried on were not engaging. There were few shops The largest shanty in the principal street was owned by Rut- tun Lal, the local money lender and grocer. By virtue of his office as money lender, he considered himselr very important parsonage. When not busy with his blood sucking en- terprises, he squatted in his shop, and, amid a cloud of hornets and wasps and with great brass bell hanging in front of him, watched over number of sacks holding food stuffs, spices, salt and sweetmeats. Alongside this shop he owned another where his wife presided over iron and brass cooking pots, big headed nails, matches and awful cigarettes. On the edge of the settlement the wheel wright, who built and repaired the heavy looking OK and buffalo carts used in the rural districts, had his shop. The carts were constructed solely of wood, bamboo and string materials elastic enough to survive the jolts and shocks feceived on AOuSn COuAtAy iOaoo. uC buildings consisted of the, shrine, with a few trees around it, and the shed in which a schoolmaster dis pensed bits of elementary learning to the children A little apart from the rest of the dwellings was a small group of wretched tenements. Tn these dwelt the very low caste cha mars who flayed dead animals for the sake of their skins and lived largely on the flesh. Buffaloes, goats, cows apd sacred bulls wan dered about at will; monkeys swarmed unmolested over the houses, roads and trees: scores of ownerless pariah dogs. of all breeds and sizes, roamed about the village and disput- ed with their own kind during the day and with the Jackals at night. for refuse and garbage.
 The village pond was an unsightiy excavation. holding stagnant water and affording an excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes At night these awful pests-the curse of In dian village life-set out on their marauding expedition. and many and weary were the hours I spent in de- molishing them as they flew through the open window.

Louisville, Ky, August 20.-The Jefferson Davis obelisk, crownins monument to the president of the Southern Confederacy, will be un- yelled June 8. 1922, at Davis birth place in Fairview, Ky, on his Hath anniversary.
 The Davis homstead is about 14C miles from Hodgenville, Ky, where Abraham Lincoln was born.
 The obelisk, which will be 175 feet high, is today within five feet ot completion. It was planned orig inally to erect a shaft $50 feet, tc be excelled only by the Washington monument, but the Jefferson Davls Home association decided to hasten tine unveiling in accordance with the wish of Confederate veterans. Anx- ous to participate In the ceremonies the thinning ranks urged completion as soon as possible. The work was started in 1917 and interrupted by the World war.
 Profiles in bronze of MT. Davis and his daughter. Mrs. Margaret Davis Hayes, one of the most beautiful women of the south, ornament the base of the monument, which Is 4a feet square. It contains a room for relics.

 The shaft Is situated in Jefferson Davis park, which takes in part of the farm on which the President of the Confederacy was born on June 8, 1908, less than year before Lin coin. The park comprises about 2i acres. The town of, Fairview gains its name from one of the most beau tiful landscapes in the south.

fDEAL1SM IN THE COLLEGE Prof. R. w. Brown in Harper's Mara


 If colleges are to guarantee to the superior student the kind of teacher he requires college corporations mus; reveal some of the idealism and de- votion which they always expect of those who serve them. The way of the teacher is peculiarly beset with temptations to yield to a hardening process, to become intellectually static. Daily he spends his time with young men and women who treat him as a mental superior. and daily the college corporation that presides over his destiny treats him as a cheap kind of employe. Thus he suffers by being looked upon at the same time as an intellectual authority and an economic nonentity. From the beguiling dead level of his students he cannot be saved altogether: 1t ts one of the natural hazards of hiA position. But he can b.s saved from the deadening Humiliation of feeling that he Is a mill-hand Instead of. A consulting engineer. He looks over into the world of commerce and sees

for General Pershing, "commensu-
rate with his rank" has caused
considerable interest and specull-
tion in the war department, Sew
eral possible assignments for the
general, whose rank as general of
the army places him above any
routine detail, have been discussed
by officials. it was said today,
It has been rumored he would
retire to accept a diplomatic post,
probably of ambassador to japan
to succeed Roland Morris. whose
resignation President Harding ac~
cepted. 1t is understood this would
be the most acceptable diplomatic
post General Pershing could be Of

as military attache would tend to
qualify him for the position. 1t has
been pointed out. Another diplo-
matte post mentioned is Paris, but
it is believed that if given his
choice he would prefer Toxic.
On the other hand, many army
officers believe General PCrshing
will either be made chief of staff
to succeed Major General Peyton

ed here today by F. w. Gal

mander of the American Lee
gion, who, in a statement
commemorative Of t h e

-Four years ago tomorrow" said
the statement, Eve declared wal
against Germany. The hyphen
realizing that it was an ally of oul
enemy, promptly took cover. The
hyphen dug in and hid its head
and, so long as the roar of battle
sounded, it maintained an exceed
ingly low visibility.
"Then there was an armistice
which signified that The danger
was over; and with the passing OF
danger the hyphcn crept back
slowly into view. Finally 1t be-
came bold and asserted Itself with
its old arrogance.
This anniversary Is a fitting
time to serve notice on the hypher
and hyphenatcs that there may
have been an armistice for our late
enemies, but there never can be al
armistice with the hyphen. Ar
honest adversary we can admire
and forgive. We never can make
a truce with those citizens who af

and chief of staff in directing the
A. E, f. during the war.
Another assignment frequently
mentioned in connection with Gen
eral Pershing is that of governor
general Of the Philippines, but 1t
is not believed such detail would
be acceptable TO him. A tour of
the world as au envoy extraordi-
nary similar to the tours made by
other allied leaders after the war,
also has been mentioned.
General Pershing has never
broached the subject of retirement
to the new administration, as far
as can be learned. More than a
year ago, in a letter to Secretary
Baker, he indicated his desire to 60
on the retired list. when he had
completed important duties on
which he was engaged. MoEt nj
those duties are completed. On
der the law the general may re-
tire at any time with full pay and
allowances OF his rank, amounting
to about $4,000 a year,
