Star Was Once Called
Center of UniUeTse

Alcyone, the brightest star of the
Pleiades, equals in brightness the star
Zeta. 1t was at one time fanci-
fully pictured as the center of the
universe by the astronomer Nader.
but this was merely a speculation for
which there is absolutely no founda-
tion. The Pleiades form, in fact. a
moving cluster of stars of 200 or more
members, and its principal stars are
associated with nebula of vast size.
There is no reason to believe that our
sun with his family of planets is mov-
ing around this or any other center
in the universe. It has been estimated
that the distance of the Pleiades from
the solar system is over 300 light
years, or, in other words, that the light
from this cluster takes over 300 years
to travel to the earth. We see these
stars today as they were before the
Pilgrim fathers landed In America

JUDGE LET FARMERS

Judge Morris, sitting in United
States District Court at Wilmington
Tuesday afternoon, excused a num-
Der of jurors drawn for the Septem-
ber term of the United States Dis
trict Court, and instructed Clerk Ma
haffy, to draw others to fill the va
cancies. Those excused were mostly
farmers, who declared to the Judge
that to remain throughout the pres
ent term as jurors, would entail
heavy financial losses Jon them, as
they must harvest their crops or
have them decay on the fields.
The new jurors drawn were:
Henry c. Davis, Little Creek hun
dred; Isaac J. Morgan, Nanticoke
hundred; Nehemiah G Cain, South
Murderlill hundred; William G.
Bryan, Wilmington hundred; Victor
c. Kitchens, Little Creek hundred;

Big Job

A clergyman, seeking to Introduce
some new hymn books, gave the clerk
a notice after the sermon. The clerk
had a notice Of his own to give with
reference to baptism of infants. At
the close he announced: "All those
who have children they wish baptized.
please send in their names at once"
The clergyman, who was deaf. Ss-
suming that the clerk was giving his
notice, arose and said: "And 1 want
to say for the benefit of those who
haven't any, that they may be OBJ.
tained from me any day, between two
and four o'clock, the ones with the red
backs at rs cents and the ordinary

Atmospheric Conditions
Warn of Foul Weather

Sometimes when the air is extreor.
ninarily clear and distant objects are
visible with unusual Sharpness and
SOUNDS come from afar with startling
uistinctness, 1t is a warning Of foul
weather. Then it is
When the peacock loudly bawls
SOOh we II nave both rain and squalls.
Under these atmospheric conditions
the songs and cries of birds sound loud
to the ear. The barking of dogs. the
lowing Of cattle, the whistles of loco
motives, the hOnking Of motor horns.
come from far away, whence sounds
are not commonly heard. To the eve
the difference Of visibility from the
ordinary may be likened to the con-
trast between a view through q name
OF ordinary window glass and that
through one Of plate glass. The rea.
son is that during the occurrence
OF a warm sOutherly wind at a mod
crate height, a condition usually pre-
ceding a storm, stratus cloud is like
" to cut or the suns heating from
the ground and so prevent irrequiari-
ties in heating and also to permit the |
surface air to remain COOL The result
Is a homogeneous lower atmosphere
through which light and sound waves
travel without local disturbance. The
sound waves are further Intensified at
distance from their source by a phe-
nomenOn very common on a quiet
morning after a Gle night when the
air close to the surface is cooler than
that a few hundred feet aloft. There
Is a concentration of the waves. In
the warmer air at moderate height
the sound waves travel faster than in
the lower colder cir. so those that
ascend are bent back to earth and COM
1ine with those that travel the normal
straight course, thus intensifying the
sound in the listeners ears.

WOMEN AND THE HUMBLE
Three Federated Press Reviews
BY ESTHER LOWELL.

Women and Leisure, DR.. Lorine
Pruette's study of social waste, only
hints that the focal point of infection
Of society is, as Veblen has shown the
production-for-profits system. Pruette
makes an interesting. serious, scien-
tific sketch of the problem of the So
called new woman who desires other
activity than the half-time job of
keeping house. She studies the occu-
pations into which women have gone
the less than so per cent who are
gainfully employed-and, asks a group
of men their opinion of married wom-
ems work.
She finds from missionaries an
swered by 347 adolescent middle-class
and working girls, that many have
ambitions for careers and activities
outside Of the home. She makes a
splendid appeal for freedom to adven-
ture, for tolerance in allowing women
to seek new fields Of work and new
modes of living. escaping the dogma
Of the child" which makes the child
foremost in all interests of the mother
and acts as the greatest check upon
experimentation by women"
True, she sees that a mass of
middle-aged married women cannot
suddenly be thrown upon the labor
market, to fall chiefly into unskilled
occupations. She argues for education
and social understanding. We certain.
ly can't see the women OF the "uppah
clawss' forsaking Nah Jong and cross
word puzzles for half-time factory Jobs
and we protest at their efforts to do
more social work. In the charities.
Pruette does not suggest higher
wages and shorter hours for the mil
lions OF women already gainfully EN-
ployed which would permit their dis
satisfied idle sisters to work part-time.
She Ignores the millions of men and
women who are unemployed because
they cannot get work, however much
they want to- She gives a good social
study, provocative OF thought, even
tho she sights the all important eco
nomic aspect of the problem. AS she
says, Most men and most women
must join In the maintenance tasks,
