MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
by Helen Rowland


The day is damp and close and
torrid!
The curls lie flat on my moist,
warm forehead.
Though / powder my nose til
the heavens fall,
Yet, the powder will not stick,
at all!
And the day is close and torrid!
IN such a day as this, Gen
" tie Jessica" would have bob
bed her hair and begged Shylock
for a one-piece bathing suit!
On day like this, love doesn't
really interest you-and the only
MAN that matters in your life
is the iceman.
Love is enchanting on a cool
starlit evening and marriage will
get by, even on cold gray morn
ing-but on a hot afternoon, at
the end of perfectly torrid sum-
telephone call seems worth
while.
That's why summer romances,
like the good, die so young. They
simply melt, sag in the middle,
and come apart between the noon
whistle and the sound of the Jap
anese dinner-gong.
And, once a summer love has
come apart, it's like Humpty
Dumpty or piece of chewing
CUNT simply can't be put to-
gether again.
The only thing you can do
with it is to pick up the pieces
and lay it away, like a flower,
in the Book of Memory.
Every woman's heart is a mem
ory-book, packed between the
leaves with the dead roses Of
summer romances. They sweeten
her life with a faint reminiscent
fragrance, long after the chill of
disillusionment.
But man doesn't stop to gath
er up the leaves of a dead love-
he just let's them lie where they
fall and rushes off and plants
lot Of little new ones.
His heart is like a nasturtium
Extraordinarily Towering. He
plants it with fresh sentiments
every spring and it keeps right
on blossoming all summer long.
His summer loves are so light
that they never make his consci-
ence heavy or weigh his mind
for more than twenty-four hours:
and, if one of them should last
for more than two wees, he would
wonder if he ought not to see a
psycho-analyst and cure the "com,
pick"
There is no such thing as a
perennial, among q mans sum-
mer loves: like the leave, they die
only once-and never blossom
again!
Good-by, summer loves! ToSti
was right! Every summer love
brings you nearer the end OF ro-
mance-but isn't the scenery won.

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
MAN MEASURED UNIVERSE
Scientist Informs Reader How Distance of Stars From
Earth Is Estimated

could use that as standard for
estimating the distances of all
the others, giving the same kind
of light. Suppose the distance of
the standard lamp to be 1000
yards; then a lamp 1000 yards
distant would be Il as bright as
the standard, and one 1000 yards
distant would be lie as bright as
the standard, and so on.
Now, astronomers have lately
adopted similar method for de-
termining the distance of stars
too remote to yield a measurable
parallax. They have been en-
been found that large classes of
stars, showing the same spectre.
scopic, or physical peculiarities,
are all of similar absolute bright
ness, or magnitude.
In that respect, then, these
stars, which are very numerous,
resemble the lamps that we have
been imagining, inasmuch as
their distances can be inferred
from their relative brightness. A
few stars of these classes are
within parallactic reach, so that
they afford the standard by
which the distances of the others
can be determined as soon as their
brightness has been measured.
OF course, the method does not
apply to stars that do not fall
within the peculiar classes con-
cerned, but it has been found to
be >of very wide practical appli-
cation, and has enormously ex-
tended the measured bounds of
the universe. The principle of
comparison of brightness with
an absolute standard Is appli-
cable to the immensely distant
eIobular star clusters, which
there is reason to believe are
all of quite similar absolute mag
nitude.
In this way distances of hun
dreds of thousands of light-years,
corresponding to parallaXes reck-
oned in millionths of a second,
have been determined.
The success of these methods
depends upon the fact that the
brightness of stars can be meas
ured when their distances are 80
great that there is no possibility
of measuring their parallaxes.
Is there not something within
IFS which powerfully protests
against the idea that creatures
who have been able to perform
these feats of far-reaching intel
ligence are only chemical auto
nations, without power of choice
or will of their own?

Farm Cooperation

The success of 1,784. 900 Ameri-
can farmers, representing prod
ucts worth more than 100000
annually, depends in large
measure on the individual agri-
culturist. Lloyd B. Tenney, as
sistant chief Of Agricultural Eco
nomics Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, told
members of the American Insti-
tute of Cooperation in Philadel-
phia
THE great pyramid Of coop
Grafton is built with more than a
million and a half blocks, each
one of them representing an
American farmer" Mr.. Tenney
said. ANY one of these blocks is
the keynote Of the pyramid. If
one of the blocks fails to do it's
part, the structure as a whole
will not be perfect"
Mr.. Tenney drew a graphic pic
ture of the growth and co-opera-
ton in the United States from
the first small organization of
farmers In 1856 up to the present
time.

will you kindly inform me
how the distances of stars too
far from the earth to use the
parallax method are measured
or estimated? / understand, OF
course, that the distance of the
nearer stars can be measured
by parallax, using the diameter
OF the earth's orbit for a base,
but in the case of stars $4,000
light.years away, how could such
a base yield any angle, and II
net, what other method could be
used?-B. H. L., Silver Spring,
Md"
A PARALLAx Of about one
"A tenth of a second Of arc Is
perhaps about as small as can
be surely measured. That means
a distance equal to 2,063, 900 times
the earth's distance from the sun.
1t also corresponds to a distance
of 1926 light.years. The parallaX
corresponding to a distance Of
1000 light-years Is about one
ten thousandth of second o.
arc, and is, of course, hopelessly
beyond direct measurement.
AS you surmise, therefore,
other methods have been discov-
cred for determining the distances
of the more remote stars, which
comprise the vast majority Of all
that the heavens contain.
The most effective is that based
upon the system Of absolute mag
nitudes, combined with data de-
rived from the spectroscope and
other peculiarities of certain
classes Of stars.
To illustrate, suppose that there
was a kind of electric lamp emit
ting light of a peculiar quality,
or color, and that all lamps Of
that kind were known to have
the same absolute brightness or
candle power. Then, inasmuch
as the brightness of a light of a
given intensity varies inverselv
as the square of it's distance, you
would be able to tell the relative
instances of Il number Of such
lamps scattered about you simply
by measuring their comparative
brightness.
If one lamp, for instance, ap-
peared four times as bright as
another, you could say at once
that the first was twice as near
as the second, since is the
square of 2, the nearer lamp an.
pearing by the optical law.
