STARS ARE PUT TO MANY
USES IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Smithsonian Institution Report
Describes Recent Achieve
ments of Scientists.

Among the recent developments and
achievements in the scientific world,
described by the Smithsonian institu-
ton In the latest Of its reports, just
out, are the many uses to which the
stars are put in everyday life!
DR.. w. w. Campbell, of Lick OBJ
servatory, writing on "Daily infiu-
ences of astronomy" gives many Of the
interesting facts of the astronomical
knowledge and tells of the application
of certain of them.
For example, observations Of the
stars are supplying all nations with
accurate time; accurate maps Of con-
tinents and islands depend on astro-
nOmical determinations of their lati-
tudes and longtitudes; in America,
boundary lines between nations are
fixed by observations of the stars; the
sailing Of ships over long courses de-
termined from the work of astronomers.
The age Of the earth is discussed in
an article by Lord Rayleigh and sew
eral other scientists, each considering
the problem from the point of view of
a different science. From study Of
the rate Of decomposition Of the radio
elements, Lord Rayleigh deduces q
length of time of around 1000, 900
or 3,OOO!OOO,OOO years in that the
earth's crust has been suitable for the
habitation Of living beings.
Among the various anthr0pological
papers in this Smithsonian report is
discussion by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka. of
the United States National museum
OF the color of eyes, hair and skin
among old American families in which
there has been no admixture of for.
eign blood for three generations or
more.
The observations were made on
nearly 1000 individuals, male and fe-
male, from north and south and of
varying ages. Among the many con-
illusions reached the following are per-
haps of most interest:
; Two-thirds of the males and three
feurths Of the females showed skin
that may be classed as medium. In
only five per 1000 in males, but fifty.
two per 1000 in females was the skin
plainly lighter than medium. Only one
among sixteen males and one among
fourteen females has real blond hair.
In approximately II per cent in
males and but aiittles more in females
!, the hair was fully black. In 2 per
100 of males and FIVE per 100 of fe-
males the hair is, red or near red.

MEASURE COSTS BY MINUTES
Austrians Now Work Four Times az

Austrians NOW work Four Times az
Long for Loaf of Bread.
Austrian government employees,
fighting to gain payment for their Ia
bors sufficient to maintain their fam
lilies, have presented their case in q
novel way. Instead Of relating that
in the old days they could buy for five
crowns what now costs them $4,000,
they have used minutes of labor as q
measuring unit and produced an in
terestipg table.
In 1914 a loaf of bread cost 121.
minutes of labor. Today the cost is
40 minutes. A measure of sugar that
cost 26 minutes nine years ago now
calls for 1902 minutes. Coal has risen
from 1 hour and 10 minutes to II
hours and SO minutes, and a pair of
shoes from hours and IL minutes to
10 hours and 80 minutes.

JOHNSON INSURED FOR

NEW YORK, May S.-If Floyd

Jess Willard at the milk fund car

Johnson was insured yesterd day
for that amount, and If mishap
comes to hand. arm, leg or body a

a Butte cafe and first learned the

Jack Dillon, Eddies McGoorty,

and Battling Ortego all boxed in
Butte. In recent years such boxers
as Dave Shade, Clonie Tate, Johnny
Tillman, Farmer Lodge, Cowboy
Padgett, Harvey Thorpe, and other
well-known pugilists have been
seen in Butte rings, most of them
having been imported to battle Joe
Simonich, welterweight, who is
Butte's leading performer.
There are at least three active
boxing clubs at this time in Butte
which could be used for training

Plans for staging the bout are
going forward with speed at Shelby.
The arena site, which, it is claimed.
is located on the exact spot where
two hostile Indian tribes battled to
the death more than fifty years
ago, has been selected. The arena
will cost about $4,000.
Lumber and other materials for
the construction of the arena have
been ordered and will be rushed
to Shelby as soon as the articles
for the match are signed. II is
said that it will require more than
thirty days to construct the huge
open-air arena and stands.

loses weight, the Giants lose

loses his mind. But Bentley will
win sometime, as Connie Mack

anyone when they did it.
