m C. S. Brainin OF the Columbia

He says:

they Rad been passing through

law of gravitation, just as any

in trying TO explain why there
should be such a great collection of
stars, so much denser here than in
any otler part of the heavens.
The rather generally accepted
theory in explanation of this is that
the universe of stars and cosmic
matter occupies space which is
nai:ened disk like coin or book. or
Of some irregular outline. If the
earth and the solar system are not
far from the center of this disk-like
space and we look out from the in

Now, IL the stars may be supposed
to be spread out fairly uniformly
throughout this space we would ac-
tually see more stars when looking
toward the edge than toward the
upper and lower surfaces. So the
astronomers believe that the Milky
Way gives a clew to the shape of
that part of space which our stars
and the sun occupy.

LESSON OF UNEMPLOYMENT


 The need of thrift Is the great les son to be learned from the page of passing history.
 We are in the midst of a cycle of unemployment. Similar industrial phenomena have occurred many times before In the life of this na- ton. The fact to remember is that when business Is prosperous and employment is plentiful. prepara- lions should be made for the lean month, writes s. W. Straus in the Thrift Magazine.
 Fundamentally this country is as well off today as it was during the heighth of it's most prosperous era. The present business depression is not due to lack of material re- sources or for any other fundamental reason, and 1t can only be a matter of reasonable time until normal con- ditions are restored
 But let every man who is in busi- ness or who works take home to himself the great lesson of the pres- ent era. Practice thrift Develop efficiency. Eliminate waste. Some time we shall get into another cycle of unemployment. The more suc- cesstully we have husbanded our resources the better we shall be pre- pared for that contingency.
 Let no man fail to grasp the deep significance of the need ot thrift in America today. The pres ent scenes of distress and suffering to be found in many of the cities or this country should prove . most timely and effective warning
