POINCARE TAKES
EMPHATIC STAND =.

Paris, May II (By the Associated
Press) Premier Poincare late to-
night renewed and also strengthened
his original Instructions to NJ. Bar
thou at Genoa. He is understood to
have told NJ. Barthou that he must
not enter nto any negotiation whatso-
ever with the Russians.
He also told NJ Barthou to make
clear, both in the subcommittee and
in the plenary committee, that the
view of the French government is that
nothing more is to be gained by pro-
longing the conference.
The French government will not
agree to Frenc hexperts sitting on any
commissions with the Russian experts,
being Of the opinion that exchange Of
views with the soviet delegates will
lead to nothing, but in deferring to
certain susceptibilities the French
delegates might accept an early meet
ing in some other city between allied
experts commissioned to study the best
methods of dealing with the Russian
problem. 1t is also felt that repre-
sentatives Of the United States should
be present at such meetings.
Should France take the initiative in
winding up the conference, according
to information received here, Belgium,
Poland and Denmark land proba bly,

Genoa, May IL (By the Associated
Press) SO gravely at variance are
Russia's communism and the order OF
things obtaining throughout the rest
of Europe that a general immediate
agreement with Russia appears to-
night improbable. This conviction IS
deeply disappointing to those who ex-
pected quick and big results at Genoa
but the sentiment is tempered by the
belief that the creation Of one or more
commissions to pursue study OF Rus
san problems will prove efficacious in
finding a means to reconstruct Russia
and bring her back into the Europe
family.
Furthermore, Permier Lloyd George
and the Italian leaders are convinced
that the signing of an Europe truce
as a preliminary to general non-ag-
gression pact will go a long way
towards tranquilizing Europe. Hopes
Ct eventually accomplishing something
generally constructive for Russia were
Increased tonight by an announcement
from the French delegation that
France favors the appointment OF a
commission for investigation of ques-
tons Ike credits, debts and the treat
.,.a, Of foreign private property and
approved also a general truce, provid-
ed it is understood that while the COM
missions are engaged in ther labors
the powers vii not follow in the foot
steps of Germany and make separate
treaties with Russia.
The French resent accusations that
they tried to dominate the conference.
They assert that the present situation
iustifies their vewS that the Russian
problem has not been sufficient
" studied nd that something more
should have been done to approxi-
mate the views of tae russians WITH
the representatives Of non-cOmmun-
list states efore hoping to reach gem
eral sweeping accord at Genoa. In
other words they believe that the

ton by a commission which will prob
ably visit Russa $ beng approached and

comparison it may be stated thai
the moons apparent diameter IL
only about half a degree. OF course
throughout most of this area the
nebula is very faint, so that even in
a moderately large telescope only
the brighter central portion is Wis
ible. In the brightest part of the
nebula r four stars arranged al
most in the geometrical figure called
the trapezium, and these stars are
therefore known as the Trapezium,
1t is probable that these stars are
really condensation points of the
nebula matter and not merely seen
in the same direction from the
earth. Lately evidences of relative
motion of it's parts have been found,
and at some time in the future this
nebula, now an irregular one, will
probably assume a shape similar to
that of the greatest number of neb-
ulas in the sky, the spiral.
Mercury is a morning star the
first week Of November and in good
position for observation before sun
rise. Venus is fast approaching the

visible. Mars is in good position for
evening observation, but it's bril-

Iy in summer and is still decreasing.

JAMESBURG

One of the largest real estate
transfers of the present month re-
ported was the exchange of the dwell
ling vacated last week by ex-Mayor
Frank Jennings by its new owner,
Joseph Pergola, of lower Jamesburg
who takes title to the store and
apartment overhead occupied by the
New York Telephone Company as
their exchange, owned by Louis T.
Bennett. Title was passed on Mon
day and Mr.. Bennett will move into
the Jennings dwelling this week.
Game Warden J. R. Hugg has lost
faith in the honesty of some indi-
vidual in Jamesburg. On October
81 he purchased a desk and chair
at a sale and instead of taking it TO
his home placed 1t in his recently
purchased dwelling on Franklin
street for safe keeping. On going
to the place during the weekend he
found that someone had entered the
building and taken the chair. A re-
port to the police headquarters re-
veals the theft and so far no arrest
has been made. Mr.. Hugg moved
into his new home on Monday of
this week.
Wesley Eler took his new hound
dog into the Broadway woods to try
it out and when through could not
find the dog. Suspicion pointed to
Bernard Alderman, Of Parlin, and a
search warrant issued by Justice
Paxton, Of this place, was executed
by Constable Fillhower with no sue
cess. Mr.. Eler has offered a reward
as the best means of getting the dog
back.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-10-31

Though the entire sky is fairly
well sprinkled with stellar beauty
there Is a certain area of the heaven
which seems to be just a bit more
favored than the rest and this IL
now rising over the horizon at the
time of our map. Broadly speaking
this mart comprises the neighbor1ng
consultations of Taurus, Auriga, &C.
mini. Orion, CAMS Major and CAMS
Minor: the latter two dog groups
are not shown on this months map.
Within these groups are includeo
no fewer than sever first magnitude
stars out of the twenty which the
entire heavens hold and out OF the
fifteen which are visible from tnls
latitude. Several of the otner
marvels of the sky are IN
these groups, but we shall connne
ourselves this month to the two
pro,Ips Orion and Gemini, which are
newcomers on the map.
The Heavenly Twins.
Gemini, the Heavenly Twins, con-
tains the two stars Castor and
Pollux. which give the name to the
constellation, besides several OF
lesser note. Though Pollux is the
brighter, Castor is very nearly as
bright. and the name of twins seems
TO be we'll merited. for they are only
four and one-half degrees apart.
They are easily recognized because
of their proximity to each other.
Castor is the one nearer h North
Pole.
some 800 years g an astron-
omer made a list of stars and to MN
II appeared that Castor was the
brighter of the two; therefore ne
named it alpha Geminorium: rms
seems to be a definite indication
that a change had taken place In the
relative brightness of these stars,
for Castor must have been at least
as bright as his twin at that time.
We can not assume that the
astronomer in question mad a
wrong observation: the older astron-
omers were just as keen and able
as those of the present day, the
difference lying entirely in in
struments at their disposal. we DO
moi know whether n or both OF
he stars have undergone variation
IN brightness, but probably we shall
learn in time as a result OF the ac-
curate and definite photometrlc

measurements used today.
As a matter of fact, Castor is by
far the more interesting star of the
two. In a small telescope even it
can be seen as a double. There are
two stars where the naked eye sees
but one and these stars are a sys-
tenn gravitationally closely connect
ed. They pass around each other in
regular orbits. Furthermore, with
the spectroscope it has been learned
that each of these two components
Of Castor is itself a double, so that
we have really a system Of four
stars revolving in pairs about their
common center of gravity.
Orion the Great Hunter
This group of Orion is without
doubt the most beautiful and most
famous constellation in the entire
heavens and its appearance is such
as to make it exceedingly easy to nix
in ones mind. Look toward the
eastern horizon and you will see
three fairly bright stars lying on a
straight line almost perpendicular
TO the horizon. The middle n is
almost exactly half way between the
other two. AS the sky turns west
ward the three stars will take up a
position such that the line joining
them becomes horizontal, but the
relative positions remain exactly
the same. This trio constitutes the
Belt or Orion. -
TO the northward of the belt Is
the reddish Betelgeuz, which Is
the first star to have its diameter
measured directly. 1t is a tremen-
doisly larger body than our sun.
To the south is the blue-white R1gei,
another giant. Several second
magnitude stars, in addition to these
of the Belt, and a number OF lesser
ones complete the group. A fainter
line of stars running, of. from n
belt in a general southerly direction
marks the jeweled scabbord OF
Orion's sword.
The Nebula in Orion
Under favorable conditions, even
without a telescope, a careful op-
server would Immediately notice
that one of the jewels of the scab-
bard differs greatly from the other
stars; it has a hazy appearance. In a
telescope this hazy star is easily
recognized as the Great Nebula in
Orion, which occupies an area OF
