Planet Without Oxygen.

According to the spectroscopic
studies made at the Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory Of the light received from
Venus, nj oxygen-absorption lines are
found. This indicates that there is
40 oxygen or water vapor in the outer
atmosphere Of Venus. and furthermore
that the reflected light Of the sun
must have penetrated to a consider
able depth.
II therefore appears necessary to at
tribute the great brightness of Venus

must be considered in connection with

II was different on the following day.
but not in the Howard
thought.
AT breakfast the next morning as
Howard was casually CHANGING through
his paper, his eyes suddenly focused in
horror Mt a picture on the theatrical
page. The picture was n photo taken
In a studio. 1t showed u man eagerly
shaking hands with IA brilliantly
dressed, beautiful actress, The wom-
ans face was cold and distant. over
the picture was this caption: 'Promi-
nent Mldwestern Business Mar Seeks
Reconciliation With Wife who Is Be
coming Famous in the MOVIES" The
woman was his wife, the man was him
self. Now he knew the meaning of
that Photographic flash while he was
at the studio.
Howard went fighting mad at seeing
this picture and reading the accom-
panying paragraphs giving intimate de-
tails Of his life.
"Of course, Martha was in on it,"
he told himself. "She's crazy for pub
licity. No doubt she put up that pub
liclty manager to put the thing across.
It's a rotten thing to do and I'm done
with her forever ~
Howard packed his grip at once, de-
termined to return to his home forth
with. But to his disgust, there was
no train until late in the afternoon
and this made 1t necessary for him
to put in the day in New York.
Howard tramped back and forth on
Fifth avenue and Broadway, trying to
find interest In the glowing show win
dows and the never-ending crowds.
But he couldn't get his mind Off the
dismal end of his expedition.
At last Howard turned his steps to-
ward the hotel, as II was nearing train
time. Not once did he think of going
back to the studio or ever of calling
up his wife.
His heart was exceedingly heavy as
he opened the door to his room.
Then, as he stepped into the room,
he gave a startled glance toward the
window. There, seated in an arm
chair, vas his wife,
How did you get in here?'" Why
did they let you IMP demanded
Howard.
IL showed them that picture in
the paper" said Martha. ''They
couldn't refuse me then"
Howard stepped in the room and
closed the door behind him.
That was a fine piece of publicity -
he answered. II never thought"
His wife rushed TO him.
"Oh. don't, don't !" she cried. az
didn't know it was going to happen.
1t was awful Horridl I've had thai
publicity manager fired. There are
mighty few film press agents who
would do a thing like that. And, oh,
Howard"
Her eyes melted. She held her arms
out to him. Suddenly Howard fount
himself holding her tightly in his arms

"Why?" Howard demanded.

Why do
women like
pipe smokers?

We asked many ONE One said:
because a man who thinks things
out, does them and goes all the way
through with anything he starts gen.
orally smokes q pipe if he smokes at
all-and nearly always he does smoke"
Another replied: "a pipe smoker is
more of a home man, it seems to me.
There is no better picture of content
ment than a man smoking a pipe in
his home after the days work is done"
HE is more honest, more reliable,
more manly" said another-but she
was rather young.
"Pipe-smokers are not so jumpy
and idgety, so as non-smok-
ers. They're more easily c~ontented,"
was the opinion of one woman.
There were many reasons given by
the fair ladies; some of them not very
powerful from a logical viewpoint.
The significant feature of the cues
tionnaire was that the great majority
OF the women admitted that they do
like pipe smokers.
And just to show that woman is not
the only illogical of the two sexes. we
asked a number of men why they
liked the tobacco they smoked. One
said it was strong enough for him.
Another said it was mild enough for
him-and they were smoking the
same brand. All of them had some
m~ore-or-less indefinite reason for lik-
ing a certain tobacco, but putting that
