ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS
Z Men Of Science Beginning to Believe
! They Know Something Con.
corning the Subject

The first successful attempt to
i, measure stellar distances was made
in 1888 by Bessel, who determined the
parallax of 81 Cygni, a little star Of
the sixth magnitude which had at
tracted attention by its great proper
motion of five seconds Of arc year.
At the beginning of the present CEN
fury 40 or SO parallaxes had become
known and in recent years progress
in measurement has become very
rapid. Greenwich observatory reports
the determination Of the parallaxes Of
so stars year, while some American
ObservatOries are doing even more.
American astronomers have ip prepa-
ration a catalogue giving the paral-
lakes Of 1000 stars and it is expected
that within very few years the dis
tances of all stars visible to the naked
eye in the northern hemisphere will
have been made known, as well as
those of many fainter stars. The
parallaxes are determined by both
trigonometric and spectroscopic meth
DDS, willie third method can be ap-
piled to many double stars.

Society Gives Up Smoking.

Smoking has become such bour-
gec&y habit that many women. Of the
London aristocracy who have been s-
ing tobacco are now shunnings 1t, at
least in public. Medical men here
have warned women frequently. since
the war about the evil effects of over
Indulgence in cigarettes, but it was
not until smoking became bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
In the, smoking habits Of women Of
the so-called upper ten" Il
At the moment the use Of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be-
Sides, many tobacconists are manufac-
turing small briar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too COM
mon to please, certain figures, in So
ciety, and, in consequence, they have
givenaup the weed. At some aristo-
cratic garden parties recently few #
any women Of the elect ventured to
smoke openly. So what medical men
have been unable to do by their warm
ing is being rapidly accomplished by
class pride.-St. Louis POst-Dispatch.

EDWIN A. OLIVER REMINISCENT
Sends Xmas Greeting Recalling Base
ball Days in Smyrna in 1S74-75-
Those Who Composed the Nine

Edwin A. Oliver, editor of the
YOnkers Statesman, whose humorous
sayings and pithy paragraphs have
given him a national reputation, sent
out a number of Christmas folders
this year to his former Smyrna friends
recalling the baseball days in this town
in 1874-75. Mr.. Oliver spent his boy
hood days on a farm near Smyrna
which his father owned on the State
road a mile or more below town and
grew up with a number of our we'll
known citizens in the days when the
baseball fever ran high and the great
game was popular all thru the State.
In those days Smyrna had a winning
team and with the possible exception
of Milford, Smyrna outclassed Dover,
Middletown, Odessa, Camden and all
teams of the State. The baseball nine
of '74-'75 was composed of Edwin A.
Oliver, catcher, now of Yonkers, n. Y;
w. Polk Cummins, pitcher, of Smyrna,
dead; Walter F. C. Colt, pitcher and
right-felder, now of Indianapolis, Ind.
GEORGE l. BaggS, hrSt baSeman, now
of Stevensville, Montana; o. B. Vo-
shell, second baseman, now of Phila-
delphia; Robert L. Cummins, 3rd base
man, Smyrna; former Postmaster,
Thomas Jefferson, short stop, Smyrna;
George Reed Lofiand, left fielder, of
Smyrna; Charles f. Moore, center
| fielder, now of PHILADELPHIA: Robert
McAffee, sub, dead. Mr. divers Xmas
folder contained a picture of himself
in the uniform of that day of Smyrna
with his greeting and this quotation;
I've played some baseball in my day.
I'd have you understand;
I've knocked out home runs in a way
That really beat the band.
Upon the diamond l was king,
I thought in very truth;
My praises all the fans did sing.
And then-"along came Rdth.'

WASHINGTON STREET BRIDGE
Opened at Wilmington Last Week and
Is a Boone to Travel

Washington street bridge was in
formally opened to vehicular and ped
estrian traffic Thursday when Benja-
min F. Shaw, member of the commits
sion, and DIR. Willard Springfield walk
ed over the newly constructed struc-
ture. Mr.. Shaw and three members
of the Levy Court Commissioners, AL
bert Stetser, Boyd C. Mccoy and
James Ball, visited the bridge and in
spected it after which it was pronuon,
ced open by Mr.. Shaw, who instructed
the watchman to allow school children
and other pedestrians, automobiles and
wagons to use the bridge. The bridge
will be dedicated Memorial Day, Nav
30, 1922. This dedication service will
be made of Statewide Importance. The
bridge opens a fine route to Concord
Pike and West Chester besides other
routes of great value to motorists. The
real value of the structure to the trav-
cling public was shown by the fact
that thousands of persons, in automo-
biles and on foot, passed over it dur
ing the first twenty-four hours it had
been opened for use to them. 1t was
said that constant stream of travel
occupied the bridge the first day, with
only few hous' lull at night.

SPECULATIONS IS RIFE OVER
SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE HEISEL
FRANK BIGGS, FRANCIS JANvIER
AND JUDGE BOYCE MENTIONED
Governor Denney Has Made No Choice
Senate Will be Called Within
Thirty Days to Confirm

The death of Thomas Bayard Heisel,
associate judge-at-Sarge of the Su-
preme Court of Delaware, is causing
considerable speculation as to the
probable choice of a successor. When
such vaancy occurs at a time when
the Senate is not in session, the law
requires the governor shall, within
thirty days after the happening of any
such vacancy, convene the Senate for
the purpose of confirming his appoint
ment to fill the vacancy, and such APP
pointment shall be such that no more
than three of the five law judges, In
office at the same time, shall have
been appointed from the same political
party. Judge Heisel was Democrat,
and in order to maintain the Demo-
cratic quota as required by law, Gov
ernor Denney will appoint a Demo-
crat, whose appointment will be for
the full twelve years. Governor Den
ney stated that he had not yet had
time to consider the matter, and Was
not ready to announce his appOintee
or when he would issue a call for =
special session of the Senate. He
said he would not likely make the ap-
pointment for two or three weeks.
| There is a strong movement in rural
New Castle county for the appoint
ment of J. Frank Biggs, of Middle
town. His friends are circulating a
petition which will be presented to the
governor. William T. Lynam's name
was mentioned but some of MS
friends said he would not accept a
place on the bench. Friends of Fran
els De Haven Janvier, Democrat, OF
New Castle, are working hard for his
appointment. Former Associate Judge
! William H. Boyce, of Dover, whose
term expired last June, is also being
strongly urged for the appointment. Ii
was concurrently reported in view OF
the fact that the Senate when calleC
into session for confirmation of the
1 governors appointment to the judge
ship, may transact "such other eXecu.
tive business as may come before it,
the governor would be requested tt
call a special session of the entire
State Assembly. In fact, petitions t.
the governor requesting the calling o.
such a special session are already be
ing circulated, with a view to obtain
ing a repeal of the SO filing fee "rider'
to the new school law. Governor Den
ney stated emphatically he would no
call such a session for this purpose a
this time.

HAD HIS "DRAM" ON XMAS DAY
George DOnOhO, of Georgetown, Puz-
zled as to How to Get Makes Find

Although he is seventy-seven years
old George Donoho, of Georgetown,
has never remembered the time in his
life when he did not follow the old
Delaware custom of having a "dram"
on Christmas morning. This year,
with prohibition staring him in the
face, there seemed no chance of the
old custom being observed. Donoho
had tried everywhere but could not Sc
cure even a little wine. Being the
caretaker of several yachts owned by
Philadelphia people who keep their
boats at BrOadkiln Beach he started
on Saturday to work on yacht own
ed by Camden, N. j., men. He tore
out the floor boards to get at the pro-
peller and underneath the floor boards
he found a gallon jug about half-full
of good whisky. Then he remembered
how it happened. Three years ago a
cruise was made and half gallon of
sixteen year old private stock disap-
peared. Several were accused of steal
ing it. However, no one had STOLEN it
for it evidently had rolled down be-
hind bunk and been wedged under
floor boards close to the propeller
shaft. DOnoho enjoyed his Christmas
the old-time usual Delaware way.

REAL WINTER COMES AGAIN
1t Commenced Thursday and Brought
With 1t The COldest Weather So Far

Old King Winter, accompanied by
his satellites, the Ice Prince and the
Snow Princess, moved into his 1922
apartments in Smyrna and vicinity on
Thursday, after a nine months alb
sence. He expects to reside here un-
til the latter part of March, three
months lease being the longest term
he could secure from his landlord, the
weather man. His stay will be fea-
tured by snow drifts, slippery pave
ments, a diminishing coal pile, chill
blains and frosted toes. In plain,
technical almanac language the Sun
entered Capricornus, which is short
for goat, at 4.08 a. m. December %,
and at the same instant the winter
solstice began. The occasion also
marked the shortest day of the year,
the sun rising after breakfast at ITO
a. m. and setting before dinner at 4.3S
p. M, which makes a day of actual
sunlight of nine hours and nineteen
minutes. The night was fourteen
hours and forty-one minutes long. OF
course, all the days are short at this
time. From last Thursday on, how
ever, the days will grow longer, the
last day of the year showing a gain of
two minutes. The thermometer regis
tered 10 degrees on Thursday morning
the cOldest of the season.
