color OF a star is an indication OF
its temperature and careful astro-
nomical work supports this view.
The red stars. 1t has been found,
fall into two classes. The largest
stars are red. And so are the
smallest.
Betelgeuse. for example, has a
diameter Of 215,000,00 miles, An
tares has a diameter OF 400 900, 600
miles. And, on the other hand,
some red stars have q diameter OF
only one-third that OF our sun.
CoIors Alternate
Stars OF other colors fall in reg
ularly between the large and small
red stars
From these facts, Dr. H N Rus
sell, the American astronomer, has
formulated q theory OF stellar evo-
luton, which is now accepted by
practically all astronomers. 1t is
called the giant dwarf theory.
According TO this theory. star
begins as a gigantic red star.
These stars, though large In size,
are extremely thin in composition.
consisting Of gaseous material.
Due to the stars gravttationai
pull upon Its own material It be-
gins 10 contract. This contraction
increases the pressure IN tho star
and as a result the temperature Is
increased. Increase IN temperature
changes the color Of tho star,
The surface temperature Of q
red star Is about 1880 degrees.
When the temperature reaches
about 425o degrees, the star changes
to orange in color.
At about 5000 degrees It becomes
yellow star like our own sun. At
1000 degrees. It's color Is yellow
white. At 5000 degrees It becomes
white and at 10000 degrees blush
white.
Bodies Grow Cooler
But now a turning point is
reached. The pressure in the star
becomes 70 great that the interior
Of the star begins to lIquify. From
now on, contraction. with its conas-
quent increase Of pressure. causes
the star to grow cooler instead OF
hotter. Accordingly the star goes
backward through the stages just
outlined, ending again as a red star.
But now the star has contracted into
a very small red star, known as a
dwarf star
An examination with the spec
troscope shows differences in the
chemical condition OF the different
types Of stars as we'll as differences
in temperature. For convenience
the astronomer has classified the six
different types OF stars as follows;
Blush white, Type r; white, Type
A; yellow-white, Type r; yellow,
Type G; orange. Type X; and red,
Type M.

Circuit Judge John H. Golf. Detroit:
The present divorce wave, in my

in art with it's cubism. To reform
divorce you must reform the in

Car Mems Wages

To the Editor Of The Times
The street car company a few days
ago came out in the newspapers say
ing Indianapolis was the only city in
the country with a scent fare. True
enough, but why does not the com
pany tell the whole story and tell the
public that it has the poorest paid
car service men In the country?
Strangers come to Indianapolis and
ask how much the fare is here. Five
cents is the answer. CheapI they
say.
Yes. indeed. it is cheap, but the
car men pay for II. or part OF II, at
least. in underpa1d wages.
The car company is not entitled to
a raise in fares unless the employees
get at least a 20 per cent increase in
pay. o. c.
