YwNHERE has been great church unificaton IN Canada
Seven hundred thousand Methodists, Presbyterians

and they do not give them up THESE people are

The Lady Wins


Nov, my daughter, damsel
IN of Babylon came unto me,
saying:
Wherefore. oh Foolish One,
dost thou continue to speak of
things which are no more?
For marriage is but an insti-
tuition for the blind; and love is
but an absolete term, found only
in the dictionary; and romance Is
deader than yesterdays roses, or
the memory of last years kiss!
''Alas, men no longer WOO a
damsel, with flowers and flat.
teries and little arts and graces!
For these were but the red tape
through which they went before
kissing woman.
But, now. the tape is cut-and
the kiss is EASY"
And, / smiled and answered
her. saying:
Nay, my daughter, be not
thus deceived!

times said, like q watch.
Two astronomers-Sear al
Mount Wilson, and Van Rhijn, in
Holland-haVe lately studied anew
the distribution of the stars with
respect to brightness and to dis
lance from the Milky Way. They
report that the stars whose dis
tancest can be measured directly
are all so near that they do not
reveal the structural features OF
the universe. But star counts,
governed by certain probable prin-
ciples, give numerical values
which reflect the way in which
the stars are scattered through
space.
One of the main difficulties en-
countered lies in the fact that the
range of luminosity among the
stars is enormous. Some are a
hundred million more luminous
than. others. At the same time
their apparent brightness varies
inversely as the squares of their
distances. IL one star is one hun
bred times as luminous as an
other but is situated ten times as
far away, both will have the
same apparent brightness. Ordin-
ary stellar magnitudes refer to
apparent brightness.
A distance of five "magnitudes"
corresponds to ratio Of 100 to L
in apparent Brightness. Thus a
star of first magnitude is appar-
emily one hundred times brighter
than one OF sixth magnitude. Yet.
owing to vastly greater distance.
the fainter star may he superior
in actual luminosity.
Milky Way.
However. such difficulties have
been largely overcome by the
statistical method, and fairly re-
liab results are announced.
The statements about the gen
eral form of the Milky WAY are
corroborated by these results. 1t
is found that stars of all. magni-
tudess are most numerous IN the
Milky Way, but the Concentra-
ton is much greater for faint
than for bright stars. Most Of
the mightiest giants are far from
the Milky Way.
1t Is calculated that there are
not less than a billion stars
within reach of photography by
the 1O0-inch telescope m Mount
Wilson. bdt that there may be
anywhere from twenty to forty
times as many beyond the pres
ent limit of observa ton.
Every star would have to
bring a dollar to pay for the
world war. ,..s
