Scientists Say Size Dlscov-
cry Most Important
in Year.
BY DAVID DIETZ

ITV7 AsHINGTON, Jan. 5.-What
|IWl astronomers characterize as
l-I the most important discov-
cry in that science made in the past
twelve months was announced here
at the meeting of the American AS
sociation for the Advancement OF
Science.
The discovery has been made by
DR.. e. p. Hubble of the Mt. Wilson
Observatory. California, that the
universe in which we live is about
five times as big as astronomers
previously thought it was.
DIR. Hubble is at MT. Wilson at the
present time. His discovery was
made public here by DIR. Henry N.
Russell, professor of astronomy at
Princeton, who read a paper by DIR.
Hubble to the assembled scientists.
Distance Measured
Prior to DIR. bubbles work it was
believed that certain clusters of stars
known as star clouds. which were
visible in the southern skies, were
ehAO LtOoI t4otssiAI ODJCOeS III Jul uiSA-
verse.
These were known to be so far
away that it took the light from
them 100000 years to reach the
earth. Light it will be remembered,
travels with speed af $4,000 miles
per second.
Dr. Hubbel turned his attention to
measuring the distance from the
earth to some Of the spiral nebulae,
a subject concerning which nothing
very definite has been known in tho
past.
Million Years
Now he has proved to the salts
faction of leading astronomers that
two Of the nebulae in the constela-
tlion of Andromeda are so far away
that it takes the light from them
one million years Ito reach the earth.
And he shows that there is good
reason for believing that other spi-
raj nebulae are farther away than
that.
In other words, the universe is five
times as big as astronomers pre-
viously thought it was.
This is the most important as
astronomical discovery made in the
whole year" DIR. Russell said.

She said, "You can't make money

Best way for man to help his

Why Criticize
Spirlsterhood?-

Whenevre some girl or woman
distinguishes herself by some new
invasion of mans field, whether
it be in athletics, the fine arts or
the world of business, some staid
gentleman is sure to arise and
say: All. but she should be de-
voting herself to raising a family
of fine young children. You We
all heard something like that.
And it 5 such a foolish remark
it $ almost pathetic.
Would the world be any better
if women like Florence Nighin-
gale. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
and Jane Addams had given up
their careers to raise a fine fam
lily of children2" OF course it
wouldn't.
We could never subscribe to the
Rooseveltian doctrine of large
families; we have never seen the
necessity of wildly rushing to
overcrowd the earth. Rather we
would have BETTER families,
and better families need the
teachings and the precepts of
such women as those few mention
ed above.
There'll always be children
enough. And if a woman is able
10 make her contribution to the
race in some other form-more
power to her.
