Legend Tells of Juno's Re-
Venge Against CaIIiStS Be-
cause of Jealousy.
BY DAVID DTETZ.

Science Editor OF The Times.
IN HE ancient Greeks connected
a love affair of Jupiter the
Ill king of their gods, with the
constellation of the Great Bear.
The Greeks, it win be remembered,
believed that there were many gods
and their home was on high Mt
Olympus But they also believed
that these gods frequently visited
the earth and mingled with the peo-
pie on earth and that they were
stirred by the same passions and be

set by the same temptations that af-
! feet mortal men.
Jupiter was the king of the gods,
and Juno, his wife. was queen. The
ancient Greeks pictured Juno as hav-
ing a very jealous disposition.
One isn't surprised at that, for the
ancient legends frequently tell how
Jupiter, while wandering along the
earth, fell in love with a beautiful
nymph Of princess whom he CHANGED
to meet.
Jupiter in Love
Among the nymphs with whom
Jupiter fell in love was one named
Calnsto, the beautiful daughter of
the King of Arcadia.
Not unnaturally. Juno became ex-
ceedingly jealous.

turned her into a bear.
Jupiter, it seems, could do nothing
For though the Greek legends por-
tray him as the king of the gods,
they also give the impression that
he was somewhat afraid of the wrath
of his wife Juno.
The beautiful Callisto. changed

She was now afraid of all human
beings and had to fee from those
who had formerly been her compan-
ions on hunting expeditions.
And she was also afraid Of the
wild animals of the forest and
though she possessed the form Of a
bear she feared the other bears and
lied from them.
So Callisto spent many years in
the forest. fleeing from both men
and beasts.
Recognizes Son
One day. however, she spied a
youth hunting She recognized him
as her own son. Areas, now grown
to manhood.
Forgetting herself. she rushed to
embrace him. Eut Areas did not
recognize his mother. He only saw

He raised his spear to kill her,
But at this point. Jupiter inter-
vened. He changed Areas into a
bear Then he seized both bears by
the tails and threw them into the
sky where Callisto became the con
stellation of the Great Bear and
Areas the constellation of the Little
Bear, which we shall survey later
AS Jupiter threw the bears into
the sky, he whirled them about his
head. This stretched their tails, ac-
cording to the old legend, and that
is why the Great Bear has such a
long tail.
The Greeks were not the only
ancient peoples, however, to weave a
story around the Great Bear. The
American Indians also had legends
about the constellation. One of the
most interesting belonged to the
Algonquin and Iroquois Indians who
roamed the regions of the Great
Lakes.

the Great Bear.

English tourists, under the command
of General Brock, came to town,
knocked the town apart and put it

But year later an American pa
triot, Sir Henry Ford, recaptured
the town, built a little shop and
started making Eagle boats for the
u. S. Navy and Ford cars for the
rest Of the population.
BY 1924 the town had grown so
big that it was made the State cap
ital But it was not a success. The
minute a legislator would get there
he would throw up his job and 90

they moved the capital to Lansing,
where there would be nothing to dis

peace for time by compromises
which practically concede all that la
Dor demands, but in view of the fact
that he has no majority in parliament
and is prime minister only by suf-
ferance, this is a policy Of the greatest
hazard. Some day the non -laborites
in the house OF commons are likely to
reach the conclusion that things have
gone bit too far in the matter OF
placating labor, and to withhold vote
OF confidence.
1t would seem that instead OF press
ing their demands to the extreme the
British trades unions would regard 1t
as wise policy to be exceptionally con-
servative during the period OF the
labor governments trial. In many re-
spects the Macdonald government has
proved a gratifying surprise. and the
record it is making in foreign affairs
and in the matter Of taxation consti-
tutes the strongest kind of campaign
material for the next parliamentary
election, which under the most favora-
BILE circumstances cannot be long de-
layed. But if the government should
fall because of too many concessions
to labor, and an election thereby be
brought on prematurely, labor's chance
of winning the necessary majority i'll
parliament would be very slight. If.
on the other hand, the strikes should
force the government to declare an
emergency and to use repressive meas
ures to keep transport open, the fiasco,
from Iabor's point Of view, would be
equally damaging.

Ventilation at the Capitol.

Statesmen who have to spend much
OF their time in the Capitol building,
employees and others who have to work
there and the thousands Of visitors
who throng it's halls will approve the
joint resolution introduced yesterday
by Senator Copeland calling for a spe-
cial committee to investigate the sub
ject of ventilating, cooling and heating
the building, especially the hall Of the
House and the Senate chamber.
The health of all concerned is con-
stantly menaced by the deplorable
conditions of ventilation. 1t has been
a marvel for years that the states
men would put up with such condi-
tions for their own health's sake.
From time to time there have been
efforts to improve things, but every
body knows that there is yet a long
way to go in that direction. 1t is not
the fault, of the architect Of the Capt.
toll, but of the lawmakers and the
holders OF the purse strings.

one thing could possibly make a third
party formidable at this time; that is,
a nation wide reaction of disgust at
the disclosures in Washington, TAX
ing the form of profound distrust
of both the major parties" But
should the La Toilette revolt amount
to anything, in the opinion OF the
New York Evening Post, lit would
serve only to aggravate the nation s
present political disorder and make
even the Sixty-eighth Congress seem
a very paragon of craftsmanship and
Legislative ability" And the Chicago

Interest in 0ratorical Contest.

Midnight last night marked the
closing Of the list of entries for the
District of Columbia section of the
national oratorical contest on the Con-
stitution of the United States. to par
ticipate in which students in public
high schools and other secondary
schools are eligible.
Believing that it would stir the
inlaginations and excite the interest
of Washington students, and direct
their attention to the bulwark of our
liberties, The Star accepted the direc-
tion of the contest in its territory.
That belief in it's popular appeal was
justified is proved by the fact that
nearly 1000 students in high and
parochial schools have enrolled as con-
testants.
At no time in our history has 1t been
more important to impress upon the
youth Of the country the paramount
necessity of understanding and re-
specting the Constitution. "Isms" are
rampant, and the unrest inevitably
engendered by worldwide cataclysm
such as the present generation has ex-
perienced can only be terminated by
a sane and studied comprehension OF
the fundamentals of our government.
Greater, then, than any material
award which will accrue to any par
ticipant in the contest is the spiritual
advantage which must ensue to every
competitor in an increased feeling Of
loyalty and patriotism. Indeed, those
who lose, as lose, of course, many
must, will be scarcely less TO be con-
graduated for their participation than
those who win.
The Star believes that the contest,
with its wide national scope, has re-
suited even in it's early stages in a
great awakening Of the nations youth
and, indeed, of it's manhood and
wonanhood as well-to those funda-
mental principles upon which our
country stands.

for some kind of building which ought
to be set up elsewhere. The Capitals

that the park would make cheap

one kind or another. OF course, the
building is always ''in the interest of
the people," but when one gets down
to brass tacks and consults the people
it is always found that they believe
the park is more in their interest than
the building.
