Henry Ford's idea is to extend his
activities until there are jobs for
everybody. The idea ought to work
out all right. With a job for every
man, every man ought to be able to
buy a Ford and the Fords will go

continued to pay homage to Sarah
Bernhardt. Hundreds of thousands
of persons have filed past her tomb
since the funeral. and there is no
sign that the visits of those who
would honor her haveended.
Many new anecdotes Of "Divine
Sarah's" life are current. Most of
them relate to her supposed finan-
cial embarrassment. While many are
exaggerated, and some of them
made out of whole cloth. there
seems to be little doubt that the
enormous demands on her pocket
book exceeded her income, large as
it was. at certain periods. particu-
larry while she was touring America

business. Everybody around here
knew ] was serving her suppers af-

pay for me"
This anecdote characterizes the
spirit of good many OF Rernhardt's
creditors. but there were i others
whose admiration for her art did

Discover Many New
Nebulae at Harvard
AreQuipa Observatory

Cambridge, Mass, April 'S.-New
light Is thrown on the number and
distribution of neublae in the south
crn skies by the discovery by Har-
ward astronomers of no less than $50
nebulae on single telescope photo
graph, covering an area of about 80
square edegrees, taken at Arequipa,
Peru, according to a bulletin issued
by the Harvard College Observatory.
The photograph was made at the
Harvard astronomical station at
Arequipa on September 10, 1922, with
the powerful 23-inch telescope, with
an exposure OF six hours. The new
nebulac, discovered at Cambridge
when the plate was shipped here for
examination, ARE not of the nature
of the faint irregular nebulOus wisps
frequently found in the vicinity of
bright spirals," says the bulletin.
Rather. they are distinct, nebulae,
the fainter ones almost exclusively
oval or circular in form. The bright
er nebulae. almost without exception,
are elongated, or show spiral struc-
ture. while the fainter appear to be
largely elobular"
The announcement recalls the dis
covery last summer of two thousand
nebulae by earlier photographs made
at Arequipa with the same telescope.
Much less is known to date about the
southern than about the northern ne
bulae, and these investigation are
being pursued in order to supplement
the very, incomplete data possessed
by the astronomers.
ut is generally believed" states
the observatory bulletin, that the
northern galactic hemisphere is
richer than the southern in nebula e
of the spiral family. For the spirals
and spindles brighter than the tenth
magnitude this belief apparently is
justified; but it may depend to some
extent on the completeness of the
surveys Of the southern sky. We
know little as vet concerning the dis
trbution of the fainter ncbulae of
this class. except that they are reIa :
lively jnfrequcnt near the calayx
(milky way) and that there is ten
dency to form loose clusters"
