SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR

With the remarkably mild wea- ther we have enjoyed so far, the shortest days of the year are rapidly slipping away, almost unnoticed and unregretted IT. fact. though today i; the shortest day of the year, we have already passed the nadir point, for at 9:45 this morning the sun reached the farthest point south, which event is known as the winter solstice. and from today, the days will lengthen, at first imperceptibly. but gradually gaining until around the equinox the daii! gain is 6 min utes and 45 seconds.
 Today. December p. is the short est day of the year, but the differ ence If the length of the days around the sols'ice is so little that it can only be calculated Today is ? seconds shorter than yesterday. The sun rose at 9:59: 10 a. m, and set at 2:00:35 D. m.. making the interval from sunrise to sunset 4 hours 55 seconds. At noon the sun was but ? degrees, 20 minutes above the hori- zon. while the declination was g de- grees. 27 minutes south.
 By January 1, the day has gained l2 minutes-2 in the forenoon and 10 iu the afternoon. and by January 10 the increase is noticeable to the most casual observer. The days lengthen out in the afternoon first, which seems peculiar, but this is due to the fact that that the equation of time at the solstice is additive. to apparent time. and for a while gains more than the sun. If apparent time were kept instead of standard mean time. forenoon and afternoon would show the same in crease.
 The apparent movement of the sun from south to north from Dec ember to June, and from north to- W3Tu south tfOW June to DeNeih uCi ' which gives us our seasons and the varying days. is due to two couses. the annual revolution of the earth around the sun, and the inclination of the earth's axis. or poles. to the plane af the orbit around the sun. The poles are inclined or tilted at an angle of 66 deg. B min. to the plane of the orbit, and the poles always point in the same direction in space. no matter what part of the orbit the earth Is in. This causes the poles to alternately lean toward and away from the sun. At the equinoxes the plane of the poles is perpendicular to the orbit and the sun is vertically over the equator. If the earth were spinning around upright in it's orbit. we would have no seasons and the sun would always be at the same height.

 The pair sat down by the open windows overlooking the river. The moonlight made the Hudson glisten like silver. There was but one elerctic bulb burning in the living room and this was mellowed by an amber silk shade. The whole set ting made the mans ideals seem more beautiful than they would have seemed by the garish light of day.
 In sad tones he had regretted that the realization of his dream must depend on anything as sordld as money. Of course he would not ac- cept cent as gift It must be an investment. He would give his note for what he borrowed and would pay interest on it.
 Yet it would be hard to find any hard headed business man who would have faith in my scheme he explained to the girl who was lis- tening eagerly to his musical voice. Such men do not believe in sharing the beauties of life with the poor"

 This was the investment Rankin had hinted at long ago-the invest ment at which she. in her turn, had hinted in talking to Muir.
 It was Muir who could prevent her putting some of her own money into> this lovely plan. How much better to invest a few thousands in something to uplift the down-trod den than in such materialistic and worldly things as copper, steel and oil.
 "Perhaps," she said slowly T may be able to get hold of some money with which you can start your mag azine. T am not sure-but l will try"

ercise pushing perambulator. We are bored with having no more in telligent companion than a 5-year- old child. We are fed up on spend ing long. lonesome Sundays by our selves. We are tired of being golf widows"
 It is a sad story mates, but I don't know what the poor golf widows are to do about it. For you may reform q drunkard, and domesticate a rOue, and turn gambler from the error of his ways, but once a man becomes obsessed by passion for golf, he is hopeless.
 He can no more be cured than any other dope fiend, and his wife can either tag along with him, if she has the time, and money. and inclination, or else stay q home, as she gener- ally must, and look after the chil- dren. for somebody has to keep the home fires burning even for golfers.
 Undoubtedly. the ancient and hon- orable game has alienated more men from their wives than all the vamps who ever vamped. It has also done more to break up the solidarity of the family and do away with the comradeship between husband and wife. and father and children. than any other one thing. For the chil- dren who have q golf father are poor little half orphans who never get ac- quainted with the man who merely keeps his golf sticks at their house.
 But the cloud has a silver lining, If the golf widow and golf orphans are sometimes to be pitied, they are often to be congratulated. Golf takes away the grumpy and the grouchy as well as the sunny-tempered man. And in many a home where Saturday afternoon and Sunday were formerly looked forward to with horror be- cause the man of the house would be at home. there is now peace and quiet and joy. for husband and fath- CT is off on the links.
 If you want to get line on what sort of husband and father a man is, you have only to find out his wife's opinion of golf.
