Tho Strike Situation.

There is no indication of an early
settlement of either the coal strike
or the railroad strike. The situation
is becoming so acute that the govern
ment Is preparing to ration coal.
There Is a gradual slowing down of
industry and the complete stoppage
of trains will follow unless some set
tlement is made. The coal shortage
Is doing more to hinder train service
than the railroad strike, yet there is
general deterioration of the rolling
stock due to the lack of the necessary
shop work on them, ard the engincmen
ard firemen are declaring that 1t is
dangerous to run them without the
proper inspection and repairs.
The outlook for an early settlement
Is not good.

Spotsylvania county, Va, once had
the poorest roads in the state. Now
they have standard highways, Land
tLat once sold for five to fifteen dol
lars per acre now sells for from $125
to $3.50 per acre. Coed roads brought
about this wonderful increase.
1t takes money to make money.
Money invested now will yield 100
per cent income in short time. To
bring about this good road move we
must establish conuuty organizations.
This can be done by boosting the
good reads spirit. Nothing is bet
ter TO establish community sOcialibili-
ty and a spirit of unity than good
roads. Are We going to let our
neighbor counties go us zone better?
They will if we don't keep pace with
the good roads progress.
Good roads are necessity. Good
roads bring about school CONSULTATION,
a standard Of education, a closer re-
lattion of the citizenry. Good roads
are not merely a local affair. They
put us in touch with the world and
bring us the modern convenienc OF
life.
As good American citizens 1t is our
duty to get together and PIT Morgan

but it is hardly likely that it will Let's get the facts be-
fore us right at the beginning and we will have no trouble
Let us say that the increase will be 20 cents on the hun

Star RZCephei
Fastest of All

This star, a variable star Of the so
called cluster type, has long been
known TO astronomers, but its velocity
was never measured until recently.
IL Is far too faint to be seen with the
naked eye, is being Of the tenth magni-
tude. 1t is In the constellation Ce-
pheus, and is $500 light years distant
from the earth, which means that the
light from 1t which astronomers now
see through their telescopes started
on Its journey to the earth In the time
of the shepherd kings of Egypt, near
ly 1900. years before Christ.
Velocity Is Greatest.
That distance is only small frac-
tiOn of the distance from the earth to
some of the more distant star clusters,
but the outstanding fact about RZ
Cephel is that Its velocity as II flies
through space is the greatest YET
known for star.
The speed of the star was meas
ured at the Harvard observatory by a
complicated process OF observations
and computations, including among
other things the comparison OF photo
graphs recently taken at Harvard with
others taken 81 years ago, when the
observatory was just beginning its
task of preserving Photographic his
tory of the entire sky. Since that time
a ''sky patrol" has been kept without
interruption at Cambridge, supple
mented by photographs taken Mt the
station at Arequipa, Peru, and the his
tory of the stars down to the eleventh
magnitude has been written by the
stars themselves on over 25O,OOO pho
tographic plates weighing 40 tons
Study Sky Photographs.
Most Of the discoveries made by
Harvard astronomers, 1t is said at
Cambridge, are not made by looking
through 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 study
Ing and measuring by day, in the
laboratory, photographs taken Mt
night, and by computing the slgnIt,-
cance OF the changes In the brIlliance
or position or spectra of the stars as
recorded on these plates.
The discovery of the immense sneed
Of RZ Cephei Is said to be important
to astronomers as suggesting that this
type Of variable star escapes from the
globular clusters, hypothesis sux-
gested also by other recent obsetya-
tiOns.
