GOOD ROAD RAINBOWS
ON HIGHWAY DEToURS

On the worst modern highway de-
tour, DUST that is only grit in the
pessimists teeth carries good roads
rainbows for the optimist.
So says current highway bull
letin story about the much maligned
detour.
Ordinarily, detours are found
now only in localities where new
and more permanent construction is
in progress on the regular high
ways, the bulletin continues. The
detour still suffers from notori-
ously bad name of long standing, in
spite of large OUTLAWS to raise its
standing with the road-using public.
AS "a rule, it is condemned without
even a trial. Only by presenting a
perfectly smooth way can the de-
tour surmount the mountain of pub
lie prejudice and get even fair
rating.
Special efforts are made by the
Minnesota highway department to
provide good detours-and allay the
common prejudice against detours.
Where construction will close Sec
ton of trunk highway, the depart
ment always tries to select the best
possible detour. Nearly always the
detour is strengthened and some
times virtually rebuilt to carry the
extra burden of traffic that is to be
thrown upon it and often the pre-
parations are begun months in adj
vance.
But there are limits on the ex-
pense that reasonably may be in
Cured to furnish temporary route
during the progress of improvement
of the permanent highway, the bull
letin explains. In some situations
involving large volume of traffic,
provision of a frst-class detour
would cost practically as much as
the building of the permanent
heayy-duty highway. That is es-

BETELGEUSE LOSES
 RANK IN HEAVENS
Displaced by Mira as the Largest
 Star

Washington, March o,--Measure- ments at the Mt. Wilson observa- tory of the Carnegie Institution have established that Mira, the remark able variable star discovered by David Fabricius in 1596 in the con- stellation Cetus, Is the second larg- est known star thereby displacing the noted Betelgeuse for that honor.
 With an angular diameter of about 25sO00,000 miles, it is ex- ceedod only by Antares. chief star of the constellation Scorpio with a diameter Of 4O0.000,000 miles. It is larger by about 25 per cent than Betelgcuse in the constellation Orion, which was measured for the first time about four years ago. Appearing but speck in the sky 10 the naked eye. the measurements of Mira were made by Dr. Francis G, Pease with the 20-foot Nicholson Iinterferometer attached to the ob- scrvatory's 100-inch telescope, the same with which the first measlge- ments of Betelgeuse were obtained Announcement of the measure ment was made today by the Car Inegie Institution on the basis of ad- vices from Mt. Wilson. "The results indicate" the announcement says, angular diameter for Mira of about six hundredths of a second of arc, value about 25 per cent larger than Betelgeuse. The most probable value of the distance is 165 light years. Assuming this distance, the diameter of the star is 250,00O,000 miles.
 "The star varies greatly In light through a period of about i 1 months its brightness changing as much as 200-fold in that interval. The meas urements of the stars diameter wero made when the star was near it's recent maximum.
 "The name Mira, or The Wonder full was given to the star soon af- ter the discovery of it's remarkable variations of light by Fabricius in 1896. It is the most noted example of class of variable stars of sim liar type, of which there are about l5O known. They are deep red in color and are doubtless all stars of immense size, low temperature and exceedingly low density.
 ".As class these stars are moving very rapidly in the sky some of them having velocities of more than 100 miles a second toward or away from the earth. The spectra of these stars are of great interest and show remarkable changes with the change of light.
 Tn the case of Mira, an eXamin- ation of the spectrum near mini mum of light led Alfred H. Joy to predict the existence of a compan- ion to the principal star. This com- panion was discovered and it's posi- ton measured by Dr, Aitken at the Lick Observatory in October, 1925"

LAW ENFORCEMENT
 DUTY OF CITIZENS
Work Should Not Be Left to
 Police, Minister Says

Claiming that it is n duty of the citizens of a community 10 take an active interest in law enforcement and not 10 leave it entirely 10 those who are paid 10 do 1t, Rev, j. Elm crson Ford, acting pastor of the | Trinity Methodist church caused considerable comment in q sermon delivered to Eycrymans Bible class yesterday morning. Rev. Mir, Ford spoke, on The Foundations of Il | City" and said obedience to law and cooperation with law enforcing ugencics marked a high standard in the foundation of any city. Hc said good citizens do not leave the en- forcement Of the law 10 police de- 1 partmcnts.
 Some of inc high spots in his ser mon were as follows:
 "Out of ignorance most of the difficulties of life come.
 "Onc of the spiritual resources of q city Is q law abiding and law en- | forcing citizenship.
 | | the question of law enforcement to the elected officials is all that Is in"ccssary. A city cannot be built upon that foundation.
 You must have respect for law and high ideals.
 Sometimes we expect 10 leave all the responsibilities of law enforce Imcnt 10 the police the same as some churches expect tho minister 10 have all their religion for them.
 "A city is made or destroyed by the business practices ideals and sociai standards of it's people.
 "The kind of religion that en- ahlcs us to hold a hymn book in our ! hands on Sunday and our hands in our neighhors' pockets all the rest of the week is a mOckery.
 "The Everymans Bible class should be d great agency for fel- lowship among the churches. Tt should be an agency 10 pro- mote righteousness throughout the week in this city.
 If this class makes up its mind to remedy conditions that may be found 10 he wrong in any part of the city, there isn't any force under heaven that can stop it.
 "The class should take it's place 1 in the churches and in the social welfare oi the city.
 ] "You should see that there is nothing in the city not in harmony with the ideals of Jesus Christ.
 Remember you hold in your hands the destiny of the entire city in all it's interests and its citizen ship"
 Next Sunday A. B. Morrell, boys secretary of the Newark, \, J., Y. NJ. C. A., will address the class on "What Ails Our Youth" ] Bible class leaders are looking 1 forward to the selection of officers ! for next year and considerable in tercst ccntcrs around the selection of a president and generals for the next season. E. A. Krause of the : Blue army is being mentioned prominently as a possible candidate for president as is A. 4. Mills of the Red army. Philip Hermann ot the Red army already has been publically introduced as the next general of that branch. Dr. Frank Zwic1 is expected 10 lead the White army next year.
 The Blue army is discussing a banquet at which time the future of that army may be considered. There were sos men present.
