east, and Capella in the northwest The three stars differ greatly in col or, for Vega is bluish-white; Capella, yellow; and Arcturus orange. Vega is a shade brighter than the other two, which are exactly equal in brightness.
 Arcturus, the American Nature As sociation points out, is one of the nearer stars to the eartia though there is some uncertainty as to it's exact distance. It is placed between 21 and 36 light years. A light year is the distance light travels in a year at the speed of 186,OO0 miles a second Arcturus is also quite a giant sun, the stars being all suns, of course. It's diameter is nearly 20,00O,000 miles. That makes our sun with it's diameter of only 864,- 900 miles look pretty small, though compared to our planet earth, with it's diameter of 5000 miles, it seems large.
 Corona Borealis, next to Bootes on the east, is the Northern Crown, and it is indeed a beautiful little crown of six stars in which the second mag nitude star, Comma of Alphacca, the brightest star in the semi-circle, is the jewel in the crown.
 Far over in the northeast is Vega, brightest star of the northern hemis- phere of the heavens, easily recogniz- ed by it's diamond-like blue-white splendor and by the two small stars that form with it an equilateral tri- angle that has no counterpart in the heavens. Vega is in Lyra, The Harp, one of the smallest and most inter esting constellations in the sky. It lies next to the huge constellation of Hercules, which separates it from Corona and Bootes on the west

STAR CARERS TOLD HOW HEAVENS WILL
 LOOK DURING JUNE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. (P)-You may think summer is here, but officially it does not begin until June 21 which will be the longest day of the year in the northern hem isphere. It comes on Sunday, which will doubtless make tennis and golf players rejoice.
 June is the month to look for the Big Dipper high in the western sky with the end of the handle nearly due north, says bulletin by the American Nature Association. Bootes, generally spoken of as the Herds man, is also known as the Ox-driver and is supposed to be driving the seven plough oxen, as the seven stars of the Big Dipper are also known, around the north pole of the heavens.
 Arcturus, the brightest star in Bootes, is the Bear-guard, as it name signifies, and it can be easily found by prolonging the line of stars in the tail of the Great Bear or the handle of the Big Dipper toward the southeast. Some see in Bootes a hunter pursuing the Great Bear with his two hounds.
 Bootes is easily found because it's chief stars form the outline of boys kite, with the bright orange coiored star Arcturus at the point where the tail joins the body of the kite. This kite has two tails, however, extending to either side from Arctur- us.
 Some prefer to see the five fairly bright stars in Bootes 10 the north of Arcturus as corners of a pentagon, five-sided figure with it's sides of equal length.
 Arcturus, it's peculiar orange color makes it easy to find, is also one of the three brightest stars north of the celestial equator. The other two are Vega, now far over in the north
