SPEED RATE BEYOND
ALL COMPREHENSION

SONli AA1ANiDAO-'
Science has succeeded in accom-
pishing feat which appears beyond
all belief, and which has been DEEM
ed practically an impossibility until
very recently. Astronomers have de-
termined, and it is claimed by Har-
ward university, which great institu-
ton has issued a bulletin upon the
matter, that the star, RX Cephei, is
travelling through space at the rate
of approximately two and one-half
million miles an hour, or about sew
en- hundred miles per second. This is
greater velocity than has ever be-
fore been attributed to any star that
has been measured.
This star, a variable star Of the So
called cluster type, has long been
known to astronomers, but its veloc-
ity was never measured until recent
iy. 1t is far too faint to be seen with
the naked eye, being of the tenth
magnitude. 1t is in the constellation
Of Cepheus, and is $500 light years
distant from the earth, which means
that the light from it which astron.
omers now see through their tele.
scopes started on its journey to the
earth in the time of the shepherd
kings of Egypt, nearly 1000 years
before Christ. That distance is only
a small fraction Of the distance from
the earth to som eof the more distant
star clusters, but the outstanding
fact about RX Cephei is that its We,
locity as it flies through space is the
greatest yet known for star.
The speed of the star was measured
at the Harvard observatory by q
complicated process Of observations
and computations, including among
other things the comparison of pho.
tographs recently taken at Harvard
with others taken 81 years ago
when the observatory was just begin
ming it's task of preserving a photo
graphic history of the entire sky
Since that time a "sky patrol" has
been kept without interruption at
Cambridge, supplemented by photo
graphs taken at the station at Are
quipa, Peru, and the history of the
stars down to the eleventh magnitude
has been written by the stars them
selves on over quarter Of million
Photographic plates weighing in all
one hundred and forty tons.
Most of the discoveries made by
Harvard astronomers, it is said at
Cambridge, are not made by looking
through a telescope at night, as is
popularity supposed, but by doing
what was done in the case of this
discovery of the speed of re- Cephei,
by studying and measuring by day, in
the laboratory, photographs taken at
night, and by computing the signif-
icance of the changes in the brilliance
or position or spectra of the stars as
recorded on these plates.
The discovery of the immense
speed of RE- Cephei is said to be i'm
portant to astronomers as suggesting
that this type of variable star escapes
from the globular clusters, hypo-
thesis suggested also by other recent
observations.

Erlong this line I'm wondering
If those Pilgrims served
"Spanish grapes" Cranberry sauc'
And mayonnaise dressing
At their Thanksgiving dinner?
The Gray Moss Inn, however,

Hence all this choice food
Twas classed under that head.
But if ever Pilgrim father

New Kind of Light
Inventor Discovers Way of Producing
Winter Light than Electric from
Kerosene Oil

A new lamp has recently been IN
vented which burns common kerosene
oil and produces a soft. white light
said to be even better than electric
or gas. Tests by the Government and
leading Universities prove this new
light is superior to ten ordinary oil
lamps. 1t burns without odor, smoke
or noise, is simple and economical, re-
quires no pumping up and has been
approved by the Underwriters for in
surance.
The inventor. G.. H johnson, 500 w.

send one of these new lamps on ten

JEROME
 .DuRANT OWNER
United Verde's Master Mechanic Appreciates Qualities of New Car Which D m n tr a es Power on Clarkdale-Jerome Hill.

The first owner of the new Durant car ill Yavapai county is J. E. Ryan of Jerome, who purchased one yes terday from Mi1ligan & Weaver of this city. MT. Ryan is the master mechanic of the United Verde Cop per company and naturally is inter ested in and understands the tech nical details of its mechanism. In buying the Durant, he remarked:
 "It is the most wonderful mech anism that I ever saw ill an automo- bile"
 A feature that impressed the Je- rome man was the fact that the car made the trip on high gear from Clarkdale to Jerome, with the ex- ception of small stretch of extreme ly steep grade. It is the belief of Walter Milligan, who demonstrated the car, that the entire carload re- gently received, will be disposed of before the end of the month- When another shipment can be obtained, he says, is problematical, as the Du- rant factories are unable to meet the phenomenal demand. The company is now constructing a fourth plant at Oakland, Calif., but this will not be in productive operation until about next June Milligan & Weaver con slider themselves extremely fortunate in securing their initial shipment. A trainload of 50 freight cars contain ing 250 automobiles, was en route from the factory at Long Island to the Los Angeles distributor, and thru the efforts of MT. Stoves, the west ern manager of the Durant Motor company, one of the cars was di- verted at Ash Fork and sent to Prescott
