NAPLES, March 16.--The daring
robbery Of private hospital. car
ried out with the aid Of stupefying
fumes from a powder thrown into
an open fireplace, occurred at
Aversa. near here, today.
DR. Mastrocinque, proprietor OF

stration when one of his servants
suddenly threw some powder into
the fire and then dashed out OF the
room, locking the door on the out

fumes. and before the doctor and
his associates could break down
the door or even reach the win
dows every one in the room was
overcome by the fumes. which
contained powerful narcotic.

DETROIT, Mich, March 16.-All the
troubles of the world are economic
IN nature, and hard work is the only
cure for them, Prince Gelesio Gaetani.
Italian ambassador to the United
States, said in an address here yes
terday.
1T is only by work that our tor
mented world can eNtricate itself
from its difficult position" the speak
er said.
ITALY is working as it never
worked before to overcome its ills.
and looks to the United States for a
cooperation that will be an indis-
pensable factor for the reconstruc-
tion of the worlds prosperity. My
country has been poorly gifted by
nature. Her people must make up
by intelligence and hard work the de
ficiencies Of natural wealth. and this
is what we are endeavoring to DO.
Italy Strives for Normal.
AT this time Italy is setting the
example to the remainder of Europe
for earnest effort to bring about
normal conditions and insure peace
to the world. The overwhelming ma
jority of the Italians are united in a
determination to uphold and follow
Mussolini in his purpose to bring
about political. social, commercial and
financial reconstruction OF the coun-
try. Since he has taken over the
reins of government party strife
has been set aside and perfect order
prevails. Efficiency OF labor steadily
is increasing. Industries are picking
up despite the painful European
situation and the Stagnation of inter-
national commerce.
Foreign Capital YAK Free.
"The foreign capital to be invested
in Italian industries has been exempt
ed from taxation SO as TO assist the
development of those industries that
will represent the future wealth of
our country. This is especially i'm
portant TO the United States, as it
will open your country To the fields
of activity, not only in Italy, but also
in the near east The near east is so
distant from America that for Amer
lean business to expand there 1t must
find stepping stone. No country is
more adapted to fill this role than Is
Italy. There You find cheap and in
telligent labor and great industrial
capacities, with which you can COM

STRANGE STAR MIRA /
At Times Invisible to Naked Eye on Occasions
This Brilliant Planet Increases to
Brightness 631-Fold

FamOus Astronomer and Writer on Scientic Topcs of

N the constellation of the
Whale (Cetus). the largest in
II the heavens. which is to be
seen in. the southern quarter OF
the sky during the evenings OF
November. is the wonderful star.
Mira called by astronomers D
Ceti, the 20 standing for the
Greek letter omicron. The word
Mira means wonderful, and its
application to this star is appro-
pirate, for in some respects it is
the most extraordinary object in
the sky.
Its light is changeable to an
astonishing degree. and it is the
type star of the long period va
rabies" At least half the time
it is invisible to the naked eye,
lingering around the ninth mag
nitude, or below. Suddenly II
begins to brighten, as IL it were
a growing fire, and 1t brightens
and brightens until it peeps faint
~ above the level of the sixth
magnitude, which is. commonly
regarded as the limit of naked
eye visibility. Steadily it grows
brighter, and passes in success
sion the fifth, the fourth and
some times the third magnitude,
attaining on rare occasions the
second, or even approaching the
first.
This increase of brightness
lasts about three months, but,
having once reached a maximum,
the star remains there for a week
or two, and then begins to de-
cline, running down the scale
often more rapidly than 1t mount
ed, until it disappears from
naked-eye vision, though it never
gets below the reach of telescopes.
It's average minimum brightness
is around magnitude 105z.
Is Gigantic Sun.
Now. remembering that this
strange star is sun, an eccen-
trio and gigantic brother of our
own sun. 1t is interesting to know
what such changes of magnitude
correspond to. in terms of human
sensation. How much, in the
ordinary sense of the word, does
the sun Mira brighten when it
rises from say, the ninth to the
second magnitude all in three
months time? Well, each star
magnitude is about two and a
half times brighter than the next
below it.
From the ninth magnitude up
to the second there are several
steps involving successive in
creases of brightness in the ratio
f about ~ to /. It is usual to
laal with this by the aid Of loga-
.ithms. Thus we find that the

WOOD CROP is
IMPORTANT
YIELD

0NE-THIRD of the forest land
in the United States Is on
" farms. These farm wood
lands yield only a small proportion
of the wood they should produce,
an enormous waste Of possibilities,
according to the report OF the
forestry committee of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
Research and experiment are
necessary to teach the farmer how
to make the most of his wood
land, the report adds.
In commenting on the Chamber
referendum No. AZ, as to a national
forest policy, the American Tree
Association of Washington says
the farm woodlot is an important
asset and that the farmer should
be greatly interested in the cham
ber's referendum.
As to what to plant, white pine
yields very good returns in New
NEngland, and the same may be said
OF the yellow pine in various parts
Of the South.
Ffrewood Is one of the important
crops:, In 1920, an average of 10.6
cords Of wood, or a total of 6S,244,-
poo cords, were burned on the
farms Nof the country. Piled con-
tinuously, this would reach four
times around the world. The total
production Of cordwood during the
year; which includes wood burned
on farms and that sold by farmers
to city dwellers, is estimated at not
less than 10000, 900 cords. The
average farm value in 1920 was
$5.O7 cord.
Farmers in the South are the
heaviest fleetwood users. North
Carolina and Tennessee lead with
an average of seventeen cords used
on each farm during the year
The farms of Vermont, Virginia,
and Arkansas averaged fifteen
cords; Kentucky, fourteen cords;
Michigan Georgia, and Alabama,
thirteen cords; Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, and Missouri,
twelve cords.
With the coal situation what it
is, 1t would seem the farmer with
a good wood crop coming along
every year will be a very wise
man,

~ self economically independ-
ent by working, whether he is in
need OF money or not" said DR..
j. B. Piexotto, head of the social
economics department Of the Uni.
versity of California, in an inter
view recently.
She advised a period of five
years to be spent in college, work
ing several afternoons q week to
the extent Of about fifty hours a
month. In this way a girl car
earn from $40 to $50. If this is
done, not more than twelve or
thirteen units Of work in school
should be taken.
She believes that no girl who
works her way through college
should take position. Of respon.
sibility, because it is a severe
strain upon the nerves. But any
position where girl is under the
direct supervision and direction of
another, with q given thing to do
and given time TO do it in, will
not tend to impair her health
through straining the nerves.
II believe that girls who work
their way through school get
more out of college than those
who do not" said Dr. Piexotto,
provided always that they do not
undertake too much. They gain
knowledge in an added field Of
education, the ability to share
bigger responsibilities than those
of personal experience. the ability
to work harmoniously in co-opera-
ton with and under the super
vision of others. In clerical work
there is much valuable business
experience acquired, and from
work in private homes a girl
gains the knowledge of home
duties and problems and acquires
the happy faculty of living with
others in home environment.
Il think that a girl who does
outside work gains much more
from college than one who is con-
stantly dependent upon money
from home and who is free to
idle away her extra hours. Extra
work." she added, docs not pre-
clude any girl from taking part
in campus activities"

difference of brightness arising
from q change of seven magni-
tudes is represented by the loga-
rithm 2.8, to which the CORE
spending natural number Is 681.
So, in rising seven magnitudes
Mira increases in brightness 6S1
times. But IL, as more often hap
pens, it does not rise above the
third magnitude the increase OF
brightness is only 261 times.
Imagine the brightness Of our
sun increasing in a few months
even only 100 times. Consider,
too, that the increase Of heat
when Mira periodically blazes up
is probably in about the same
ratio as the increase Of light ana
then you can picture the effects
that would be produced upon
planets circling around that ex-
traordinary star. It Is to be
hoped that Mira never had any
planets-at least not inhabited
ones.

But If 1t were possible for a.
tronomers to live and observe on
a planet belonging TO Mira what
sights they would see, what
books they would write, and
what theories they would invent!

their observatories on the earth

in the observatories keen eyes

half a magnitude fainter than the

distance between them Is about
one second of arc. The distance
of Mira from the solar system is
probably at least 400 trflIions OF

Hght-waves, is always seventy
years behind time.
