Astronomers are now measuring tho
power and energy developed from the
heat of the stars. The wonderful star
Betelgeuse indicates power which can
be registered and computed by a
trained astronomer with the aid of
calculus and the dream book. It was
known in Hollywood that some of our
stars had drawing power, but that they
could generate enough heat to run a
windmill was never realized. In the
future star power will have to be recl
oned with. 1t is one of the forces that
may yet be chained to push u wheel

coed since the injunction was vacat-
ed by Supreme Court Justice Faw-
cett in Brooklyn on Monday.

old that the Smith tunnel bill of

be built, is unconstitutional.
