NEW YORK. July 2S.-There are
many men in New York who bet on
race horses every day-and never
see a race.
They make their choice from
charts and dope sheets. Many have
been following the printed turf for
years.
They save charts and past per-
formances" for many years, some Of
them having systematic fling cabi-
nets for their records.

Broadway bookmakers, broke tradi-

It developed that his two trunks

The most consistent sun dodgers
in New York are the stage hands

Broadway's theaters.

Bill Butler, one Of the oldest scene

an hour from New York and is in
his theater at 8 each morning. He
remains at work until after the

In the winter Bill, his co-workers
say, just gets home in time to fix

science EQlIOr OF Inc Times.
ING CEPHEUS was the king
TX of Ethiopia and the husband
Ill of unhappy Cassiopeia whom
Neptune turned into a constellation
and placed in the sky because of her
vanity. This, according to the old
Greek legend, as a warning to all
young ladies who have a tendency
to be vain about their beauty.
We would expect that the ancients
would have soon imagined Cepheus
among the stars too, and that they
would place him near Cassiopeia.
That is just what they did. So if
it is cloudless tonight. you can go
outdoors and have a look at King
Cepheus.
Cassiopeia, is found, as you know

now, by tracing the line from the
pointers in the Great Dipper to Po-
laris, the north star, and then con-
tinuing this line for about an equal
distance on the other side of the
north star.
Cephues will be found to lie quite
near this same line and between Cas-
siopeia and TIE constellation of the
Little Bear of which Polaris is q
part. Cepheus is about equally dis
tant from the two consultations.
Stars Form Letter
Cassiopeia was found by searching
for FIVE fairly bright stars that
seemed to form the letter IN" or
w" depending upon whether it
was observed when above or below
the north star.
Five stars also form the founda-
ton Of the constellation of Cepheus.
These stars as shown in the accom-
panying diagram, form a geometric
figure like a square with triangle
on top of it.
The stars are faint and not very
easy to find at first. They are all
third and fourth magnitude, al
though one approaches fairly closely
to being a second magnitude.
But If you have a little patience
and De moon is not too bright, you
will soon find Cepheus.
Be sure to find him! For If you
want to get acquainted with the con-
stellations. you must get to know
each one as we go along.
The brightest star in the constella-
ton was named Alderamin by the
Arabs. This means the right arm"
But as you can see from the drawing
/ Of King Cepheus, this star is really
situated in his right shoulder and
not right arm.
Alderamin is white in color and IS
usually rated as having magnitude
Of about two and nalf.
The next brightest star is Alflrk,
which occurs at the girdle of Ce-
pheus. Afirk mefans the stars of
the flock" In very early times, the
Arabs regarded this constellation
not as Cepheus but as a flock Of
sheep. This name is thought to be a
survival. from that day.
AIfirk Is Double
Alfirk is revealed by the telescope
to be double star, that is. to con-
sist of two stars revolving about
each other. The spectroscope fur
Their reveals the fact that the larger
of the two stars is itself a double
star bit that lis components are so
close together that the telescope
fails to separate them for us.
These two components revolve
around each other in period Of five
hours. No other spectroscope doubles
are known at the present time with
as fast speed of revolution as this.
The third brightest star in the con.
stellation Is Err Raj, an Arabic name
meaning the shepherd. This name
is thought to have come down from
the same time as the name Alf1rk.
Err Raj is situated in the knee of
Cepheus. It's color is yellow.
These three stars should be Of
special interest to us. 1t viii be re.
membered that due to the fact that
the earth wabbles on it's axis, fitting
slowly through the centuries, Polaris
will one day lose the honor Of be-
ing the pole star.
Astronomers compute that Err Raj
will be the pole star in the year
$500. In 5000 A. D., the honor will
belong to Alfirk. And in 1900 A. D.,
Alderamin, the brightest stay in Ce.
pheus, will be the pole star.

EDUCATION

Experiments With Rats
Show Learning Is

By HERBERT QUICK

T~l AXE two boys or girls in in
II fancy. Take one of them
IL from some backwoods neigh
borhood whose ancestors for genera
tons have never been able to read
or write, never were in touch with
anything modern, and have always
been very, very poor. Take the
other from a family which has dur
ing all these generations been COM
posed of well-educated. active, public
spirited people. living full lives in
the midst of the highest civilization.
Suppose that the two came hun.
dreds of years ago from the same
ancestors. In other words, that they
are of the same blood up to the time
when their ancestors separated, one
set of ancestors to. go down hill to
poverty and ignorance and the other
to ride the waves of prosperity and
education.
Which Mind Best?
Which of these children of today
would have the best mind? The
child Of the backwoods and ignor-
ance and poverty, or the child of
education and comfort and progress?
You will probably say that the
latter would have the best mind.
And you probably would be wrong.
DR.. Vicari of the Geological Lab
oratory of Columbia University
works with rats. He educates them.
He puts their food, for instance. in
a complicated labyrinth. In other
words, he makes it hard for them to
find it.
They learn. They learn to solve
all sorts Of puzzles to find their
food. Knowing rats, you will easily
believe this.
Rats Educated
He times them on this ability to
solve the labyrinth. And the rats
with four generations Of educated
ancestors can not learn to solve this
labyrinth any quicker than can
those from the ignorant, benighted.
backwoods families Of rats.
1t is the same with people. Edu
cation is an acquired characteristic.
And acquired characteristics are not
inherited. You may train fathers
and mothers for a thousand years to
operate a linotype machine and their
children will be no better operators
than some whose people have lived
in the sticks and never saw a news
paper office. Our ancestors in the
forests of Euorpe a thousand years
ago had as good natural ability as
we have and would have made as
good college professors, though they
went naked and painted their bod
les.
And this is a fine thing to think
of. Give the poor and ignorant Of
the next generation the right sort
of opportunity and their native abil-
ity will fill the world with geniuses.
