Car Fara View

To the Editor Of The Times
After reading Corporation Counsel
Groninger's pea for relief for the
street car company it struck me he
had a lapse Of memory.
He says the street car company has
had no increases during the peak of
high prices. 1 would like to ask him
If it is not a fact that about three
years ago we could buy twenty-five
tickets for 81 and now we get twenty.
which means a 20 per cent inc ease;
then they added 2 cents additional
for each transfer.
Then, II am correct, our city adj
ministration relieved the street car
company Of paving between its tracks.
which means a substantial increase.
Also. the city council ruled all COM
petition off the streets in favor of the
franchise for which they formerly paid
a good round sum into our city treas
ury. which they do not pay any more.
All Of this means more revenue for
the street car company.
1t seems as though the street car
company has been treated very well.
If they are not getting along they are

Animal Facts

Roast silkworm may soon be out
of order. You know, the silk worm Of
commerce winds his gossamer web in
a sealed cocoon, and, to get at the
goods inside properly, it is put In an
oven and the bug is heated to death
Now a silkworm has been discovered
in Assam which leaves its little work
shop open at one end except for a
film of silk. Thus, the silk and the
worm can both be saved, the latter to
go on living and produce more Of its
kind.
"Pekoe" tea. which we drink. isn't

First, two leaves from the bud at the
end Of each tw1g are the finest quality
OF the plant. These leaves grow hairs
and in them is the flavor. Pick a
handful Of this out of your tea caddy
and you'll see some silvery bits among
the dark leaves. These are the hairs
and the two leaves ground up. Name
pekoe comes from the Chinese word
."pak-hoa," meaning white hairs"
In southern Europe they pick their
almonds when green, eating them

About Perfume"

To the Editor Of The Times
In regard to Roy Carpenter-it al
ways takes a starter to start things
Some one started a protest against
higher auto license fees. I read the
paper, The Times mostly, and 1 am
also a good listener. Yes, we pay
high for everything.
In regard to auto licenses here-it
isn't that we care to pay the high
price, but we wonder if they will put
that money into the roads. drive
a car and I know that our roads
could be better, but like the taxes and
everything else, we have to take the
bitter with the sweet. I think It IS
right that everybody pay taxes. OF
course, there are some who slide by.
Yes. Indiana is beautiful, with In

catalogues listing the position in
the heavens of not only the stars
visible to the naked eye but Of thou
sands visible only with the tele-
scope.
Number Grows Greater
As larger and larger telescopes
are used. the number of stars visi-
BILE in them grows greater and
greater.
One might suppose the number Of
stars were infinite. But the astron-
omer can demonstrate by mathe-
mates this is not so. If the stars
were infinite in number, the light of
one would be added to the light OF
the next and the result would be a
sky OF one great blazing sheet Of
light.
1t is now ~erfTnated there are
about 5000 .milnon stars in our uni
verse.
These are believed to range in size
from gigantic stars whose diameter
may be 400 900 miles or more to
stars with one-half or one-third the
diameter Of our sun.
Astronomers believe the universe
to be shaped very much like a large
grindstone with the sun and its
attendant planets somewhere near
the center Of the grindstone.
When you look up at the Milky
Way you are looking up along the
diameter Of the grindstone. When
you look at right angles 10 the Milky
Way you are looking out through
the face Of the grindstone.
Astronomers reach this concIu-
sion from the fact that in the Milky
Way the stars are so thick they APP
pear to the eye more like luminous
from the Milky Way. the stars grad
ually grow fewer in number.
No Fixed Stars
The ancients spoke OF the fixed
stars. But we know now this idea
is also untrue
Careful observation with delicate
apparatus reveals the fact ell the
stars seem to be moving in two
great drifts or streams.
In addition to these two streams.
there are also groups or clusters
Of stars which appear to be moving
in parallel lines toward some com
mon destination.
And now you may ask, how large
is this grindstone which constitutes
the stellar universe7
in answering this question, the
astronomer takes as his unit the dis
lance which light, travelling 10000
miles a second. would traverse in
a year
He believes that the ''grindstone"
is about $1,000 light years in dame
ter and about 5000 light years in
thickness.
