Mellon is working in Washington for

Mellon as the greatest Secretary Of

Who's stupider than he.
No bOnehead is so stolid
That he can't, somewhere, find
Somebody's head more solid,
Some bird more dull of mind.

We all are looking for

The asteroids are sometimes called
planetoids. That is because they
seem to be composed of much the
same materials as the planets but
are much smaller
The largest known asteroid IS 4S5
miles in diameter. They range in
size to q diameter of only ten or
twenty miles.
Theory Is Discarded
According to an older theory. tho
planetoids are the remnants Of what
was once a planet and which in
some unaccountable way met with
a catastrophe and burst into pieces.
But this view has been abandoned
by modern astronomers who now
believe that the asteroids are mate
rial which would have formed into
a planet at the time the solar sys-
tenn evolved but which was pre-
vented from doing so.
The story Of the discovery Of the
asteroids is one Of the most inter
esting bits Of astronomical his
tory.
Keppler. sometimes called tho
father of modern astronomy"
first pointed out there was an IN
usually large gap between Mars and
Jupiter. The distance between
planets increased in an orderly pro
gression except in the case Of Mars
and Jupiter. The distance here was
much greater.
In 1871. Johann Bode worked out
a mathematical law which showed
a relationship between the distance
of the planets from the sun. But
according to this law there ought
to have been another planet be-
tween Mars and Jupiter
In 1900, twenty-four astronomers
formed themselves into a society.

and started a telescope hun: for the
missing planet.
Discovers First PlanetOfd
On Jan. /. 1901, a Sicihan astron-
mer, Father Piazzi. discovered a
1Aiiy PleALlSL oE DeLilttp4u where INC
missing planet ought to have been.
A few years later. a second
planetoid was discovered revolving
in this same orbit around the sun.
Up to date. more than 500 OF
these have been discovered. Since
the application Of photograph to
astronomy. it is not uncommon FOR
ten or fifteen to be discovered in the
course Of a year.
AS pointed out. astronomers first
thought the asteroids are the re-
mains Of a planet which once ex-
listed. 1t Is now thought. however,
that the great gravitational pull Of
e yantic Jupiter was so great that
these asteroids were prevented from
condensing into planet at the time
when the other planets took shape

Gasoline Prices

To the Editor Of The Times
A short time ago they raised the
price Of gasoline 2 cents per gallon.
A few days later they raised 1t another
2 cents. Looks as though it is getting
TO be a weekend occurrence.
So far the public has stood for this
unsteady price Of gasoline. The ques-
ton Is: How long viii it pay what
ever price is asked and say nothing.
AS gasoline has become q necessity
It is time a law be passed that would
fix a faAr price on said product and
govern 1t accordingly, instead OF al
lowing a few men to do as they please.
The way gasoline prices have been
jumping around it Is nothing more

Has the United states ever paid
tribute money to any nation or
group?
During the administration OF
Thomas Jefferson, the Barbary States
gave much trouble, not only to the
United States. but to the European
powers, because of the pirates that
infested the waters of this part Of
the coast of North Africa. The Euro
pean powers had been accustomed to
pay them tribute in order that their
vessels might not be molested. The
American Government had entered
upon the same practice. Cargoes Of
presents were sent now and again to
appease the greed OF these pirates,
The demands became so exorbitant
our Government at last sent a small
fleet to the Mediterranean which
taught the pirates that Matchmaking
must cease. This is the only instance
in which the United States has paid
tribute to any country.
