General Sawyer is chairman, was q
voluntary creation Of the president
and as such the president alone waa
responsible 81

Of the government. hAying~to do with
F., the treatment of disabled former scrv:

Most OF the complaint against Gen.

versy over location of hospital sites
in the district composed of the states
of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
In this connection 1t. :is pointed ou'
that the principal site which was In

MEASURED BY LIGHT YEARS

Astronomers measure diStan-
ces in the heavens by light-yearS
instead Of miles. The latter
unit, in fact, would be meaningless
to the ordinary person, since it
would involve oftentjmeS. per-
haps a hundred cipherS or more.
A light-year is defined as being six
million million miles. Light,
which scientists say, travels at the
rate of 10000 miles per second,
reaches us from the moon in less
than a Second-and-a-half. 1t takes
only eight minutes for the sun 5
rays to reach the earth. But then
there is Alpha Centauri, the near
est OF our stars. which is fOur-and-
a-half light years away. This
would mean twenty-Seyen million
million miles.
Then there is Rigel, about 49,
900 times as bright as our sun,
which Is nearly 500 ight-yearS
from the earth. Sometimes, when
new star shoots out into the Mil
Ky Way. we are watching an oc-
currence that took place centuries
ago-but which has just reached
our vision. Verify, the heavens
declare the glory of God, and the
armament Sheweth his handi-
work.
