Alcyone Is Brightest
Star of the Pleiades

Alcyone, the brightest star of the
Pleiades, equals in brightness the star
Zeta, says Nature Magazine. 1t was
at one time fancifully pictured as the
center of the universe by the astrono-
mer Nader, but this was merely a
speculation for which there is abso-
lutely no foundation. The Pleiades
form, in fact, a moving cluster of stars
of 200 or more members and the prin-
cipal stars are associated with a nebu-
la of vast size. There is no reason
to believe that our sun with his family
of planets is moving around this or any
other center of the universe 1t has
been estimated that the distance of the
Pleiades from the solar system is over
300 light years. or, in other words,
that the light from this cluster takes
over 300 years to travel to the earth.
We see these stars today as they were
before the Pilgrim fathers landed in
America.-Nature Magazine.

who rode with the ranchers, gossiped
with the women, danced with the cow
punchers, and didn't go to church but
once while In Wyoming" Can't you
imagine all the old grannies-male
and female shaking their heads?
Actually. Olga Edith Gunkle was
blessed with superintendent health
and energy. The schoolgirl saved
herself from disgrace" by examining
four years work into three. and low
ing grubby children of mission class.
Came college, university and settle

her own vigorous self. She discovered
that:
"In New York or Wyoming people
needed something besides food and
raiment and leisure time; they needed
something that would make their
lives glad and joyous and daring and
noble. In other words, they needed
that something by many called re-
ligiOn. So I came to GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
as director of religious education
(much against my friends advice,
who insisted that stay IN New York;
and here l was licensed to preach. My
reasons for coming to a small place
were these:
II believe that many people work In
large city, not because they love
their job and because of the jobs
sake, but because they love New York
and would work at anything for the
sake of staying in it. / don't believe
1t Is How big is the town your jobs
inT that matters so much as How big
have you made your job In the town

'The second reason for working in

Is rather new is that Old Tradition
hasn't been placed upon throne and
taught to wave a little stick to the
tune Of, Tt hain't never been done
like that BEFORE Because l was the
first director Of religious education in
ZSaesville there were no traditions as
to how l should look, act or do my
work. So 1 was able to do things very
much more easily and with less fric-
ton than if / had been compelled to
vanQuish old Brother Tradition.
Thirdly, to say in the parlance Of
the ministerial profession, a young

than in a large because Of her larger

THE DESERT AND THE
MILK OF HUMAN
KINDNESS

"The locality is irrelevant" Is the
dictum Of a successful woman of
Tucson, Ariz., when asked whether she
thinks the business college graduate
should go to big city for work. 81
advise her not to go if she can find
work at home" Mrs. Reynolds con-
tinues. There's just one provision
that is important. 1t is that the girl
can adhere to standard of morality
which will always preclude loss of
self-respect."
This is no preachment from a pro-
fessional reformer. Novela Routt
Reynolds has learned that IAN honest
code pays in the end'' from the many
sided business world that the Rey-
nolds Commercial school keeps her in
touch with.
World war need found Mrs Rev
nolds and other business women of
Tucson just as readily as if they had
hurried to Washington or New York
1t even brought legitimate prosperity
since her service lay in equipping an
unparalleled number of students for
government work.
Tucson holds, Mrs. Reynolds has
found, an extra appeal to the heart of
any employed woman who has a spark
of the material fire. The hordes Of
health seekers need CHEEKY sugges-
tons on how to adapt themselves to
arid surroundings, unaccustomed con-
ditiOns and inconsistencies. Mrs. Rev.
nolds declares this chance for service
where service is so sorely and so con.
stantly needed is the most interesting
part of being business woman in
Arizona.
Like many successful women, Mrs.
Reynolds has developed outside her
business an association that keeps her
in touch with what women are doing
everywhere. In her case the doorway
to world interests is membership in
the Daughters of the American Reyo-
luton. She is historian, Tucson chap
ter, and member at large on the ma
tional historical research committee.
In April she was sent as delegate
from the d. A. R. to Washington for
a conference of the Woman's Uniyer-
sal alliance, world organization.
