Through Error aurora
Lost for IL Years

Berkeley, Calf, July 11-(By A. P.
MaiD-Dr. A. o. Leuschner. pro-
fessor of. astronomy at the Uni
versity of California here, DR.. HI.
Thiele, an assistant astronomer of
Lick Observatory, and a number of
advanced students have started a
computation on the tiny asteroid
aurora" which was lost to the
scientific world for IL years. An eff
fort is being made by the Uni
versity of California to solve the
motion of Aurora.
The little body, one of the several
hundred minor plants which reyolve
about the sun between Mars and
Jupiter, has given astronomers much
trouble since it's discovery quar-
ter-century ago. Although a con-
siderable amount of computing has
been done on the asteroids orbit, err
rors were made many years ago
which resulted in the asteroids be-
coming lost" for IL years.
Several years ago it was redis-
covered at some distance from the
point where calculations predicted it
should be. Working with data re-
snlting from observations of Aurora
since her rediscovery. University OF
California astronomers have been
able to detect important errors made
by German astronomers years ago.
The problem. local astronomers
state, is one of considerable diff
Guilty because of the nearness of the
asteroid to Jupiter and Saturn, two
mighty bodies which are continually
pulling Aurora out of the path laid
down for it by the sun. 1t is to the
calculations of the effect of these
disturbers that the work liz now be-
ing directed by Professor Leuschner,
and months OF mathematical work
will be required before the problem
of Aurora's motion is solved, the
professor states.

Wednesday Brighton Market

Stock Yards, July 1.-THE mar
ket for beef cattle declined under
the heavier offerings, and the poorer
grades sold hard. Bologna and can
ners were off from 1-461-2c., in
many sales. The aggregate of veal
calves were very nearly double of
those of last week at WATERFOWL and
Brighton and after early Tuesdays
sales the market declined sharply,
due more to the excessive supply
than to a weaker market. Some
dealers reported a loss of &c a h.,
below last weeks prices for the same
grades.
The hog market held firm at an
advance of 1-3c., and yard offerings
which were light, cleaned up quickly,

heavy shipment of mich cows, close

fancy cows sold at good values, but

Chicago Produce Market

Dollar marks were virtually discard
60 Today IN quoting the price of wheat.
Both the July delivery and September
fell below 81 bushel, and all deliver
les touched new low record price
for the present as we'll as the lowest
record of any July since 1914. Momen-
tum from yesterdays collapse of val
ues had much to do with today's set
back. The market closed unsettled at
3c to &c net decline, with September
S9s to 500 and December 1.02a to
l.O2s. Corn finished a shade lower
to &c advance. oats at sc off to &c gain,
and provisions &c to &c up.
Price declines carried the market
ber the principal month in which trad
ing t present is active. This minimum
was reached about mid-session and was
followed by moderate upturn, due
more or less to a somewhat enlarged
export demand. Besides, country offer
ings had fallen off owing apparently to
the fact that prices were below net
cost of production.
Unlike yesterday, the wheat market
today showed no trace of fiurried deal
ings, the new declines having been gem
orally expected as result of increased
calls for margins made necessary by
the sudden fall of prices yesterday to
81 a bushel. Weakness Of values wa s
further empha sized In early dealings
today by word from the northwest that
black rust danger for at least the time
being had been halted by cool weather.
Corn and oats showed relative
strength. The chief reason was that
rural offerings of corn were next to
nothing.

$6.19 per square foot of floor area.
Price per square foot in 1919 was
$3.50. Prices of finished structures
are thus shown to be thirty-fi five per-

These prices per square foot repre-
sent averages based on actual opera
tons in nearly every section of the
United States. They were computed
from reports of operations which
were received by the Department of

falling off in building operations in
the last two months in New York,
Boston and some other cities.
One group of construction interests
Is now conducting a nationwide prop
uganda to persuade contractors and
owners to voluntarily abandon build
ing plans until the fall when, it is
promised, construction costs will de-

wages are too high. The same is
true of prices of materials. it Is -ex-

Survey Shows Skirt
And Blouse Popular
With American Girl

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (By The
Associated Press).-The separate
blouse and skirt is the typical cos
tune of the American woman and
girl, according to the United Wom-
ems Wear League which recently
completed a survey Of the evolution
of American fashions for m
Fostered by native conditions of
living, the shirtwaist has been the
favorite costume in this country
from the very beginning of the ma
tons history and now remains
strongest in popular favor, the in
Vestigators found. While foreign
style importations have come and
gone, the vogue of the blouse and
skirt has waned permanently
because American women have
found that costume both practical
and suited TO their type-tall, slim,
athletic and active.
Abroad the dress and gown, of
French and Italian origin, have held
sway and modes of living have de-
clared against the blouse and suit.
European designers every season
send to this country new fashions for
evening wear but none sends a cos
tune which Vies with the blouse
for the practical necessities of every
day American life.
Somewhere between the dignity of
formal dress and the striving for
daring that French mannequins eX-
hibit on fashion parade" according
TO M. Mosesohn, executive chairman
of the league, there is a place for
the costume that expresses the in
dependence of the American girl
this girl you see in illustrations, on
the streets. in the shops, this tall,
straight slim, active girl who walks
with n swing of her capable shout
ders and looks about her with a di-
rect, fearless gaze.
ut is this type of girl who has
chung t|enaciously to the separate
blouse in all its manifestations. She
knows that it is becoming, that it
Is a style out of reach of the dowdy
and the dumpy and she has made it
her own. Let who will wear the
narrow, clinging draperies (she
wears them herself in the EVENING"
but she finds the best expression of
her personality in the free and easy
lines of a modern blouse and skirt.
1t is her uniform but devoid of all
the monotonous implications of the
word"

THE LONE CHILD

1t is unfortunate where there is only one child. 1t is so
apt to grow up spoiled and selfish.
How many times have you heard people say that. It's
true too, isn't it?
There is nothing that the parents of the lone child have
to guard against more than sefshness in that child. 1t Is such
a poisonous fault. A selfish child is like a rotten piece OF
fruit-spoiled, ugly to look at and harmful to anything 1t
comes in contact with.
Parents. have you ever thought about the ACCESSIBILITY of
letting your children have pets to help over come a tendency
towards %selfshness?
Something to take care of, something to be dependent
upon him, something to Iove-that is what the lone child needs
to bring him out of himself and develop in him thoughtful
ness and consideration for others.
You live in a tiny apartment. A dog or cat is out of the
question you say. How about a bird? Surely there is room
for that. Or if your prefer-god fish. 1t doesn't matter
what. lust so it is something the child can be responsible for
and care for.
If you are really averse to pets, flowers make an excellent
second choice. Most children love flowers and find happi-
ness in tending them. Besides flowers and plants lend 50 much
to the charm and cheriness of the home.
Parents Of lone children let pets and plants help to make
your child the exception to the rule that the only child is al
ways spoiled and selfish.

YOUR BABY AMI NINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. A. J.. II. writes: When my
baby, who is now s weeks old, was
porn she was breast fed. At three
weeks l had to wean her. She got
a formula of two ounces of mix,
two and one-half ounces boiled wa
ter and one teaspoon deXtri-maliose
These four and one-half ounces were
to be given after the baby had nur5-
ed for five minutes at each breast
The baby would not take the bot
tie If given the breast first. Now
| give him the bottle during the day
and nurse him at night. With TINS
formula the baby wakened every TWO
hours and so l increased the formula
one-half ounce. Is that too strong
for him?
Eetore being given the formula
the baby only had a movement eV-
cry other day, but healthy looking.
Rut now the stool is hard, and there
Is 10 set time for it. How shall l
correct this constipation?
He only takes one and one-half
TO three ounces at a feeding. How
much milk should he take? Is 1t
necessary for him to be fed every
'hree hours at night. How can /
break him of this habit?
Is olive oil the correct thing to
use for milk crust?
Answer
1t looks to me, from the torego-
ing, that what the baby is doing IS
turing night into day, and getting
his proper feeding at night regularly
! every three hours at the breast and
then taking a minimum portion OF
cows milk in the day time. The
formula you are using is much too
