SEEK TO MEASURE FAR STAR CLOUD
Harvard Scientists Looking
 at NGC 6S22

Cambridge, Mass. March 24.-De- termination that the object In the universe most remote from the earth among those visible through the highest powered telescopes is the faint star cloud known to astrono- mers as NGC 6S22, is one of the lat est contributions Of the Harvard College Observatory to astronomical lore. Through studies made under the supervision of Professor Harlow Shapely. director of the observatory it has been estimated that this star cloud is about one million light years distant. In the language of the lay man this means distance of ap- proximately sixteen quadrillion, sev- enty trillion, four hundred billion miles.
 NGC 6s22 was thought by the as- tronomers Perrine, Duncan and Hobbs to be analogous to the Ma sellanic clouds. Studies made at the Harvard Observatory, however, seem to indicate that 1t lies we'll out side the Milky Way system. It has been estimated that dirigible mak- ing a nonstop flight and travelling night and day at a speed of 60 miles an hour would require 33,- 5000, 900 years to reach this dis tant spot.
 Another accomplishment of the ob' servatory is the recent completion of Volume 99 of Harvard Annals, the last of nine volumes of the Draper an astronomical work
New Britain herald., 1925-03-24

covering information concerning 2bo,O00 stars. Work on the Draper series, planned in detail by Profess or William Henty Pickering in 1911, has been in progress for more than Is years.
 These volumes show the positions, magnitudes and spectral classes of the stars, Analyses of the data thus eollated are now iu progress. It is estimated that on the spectra plates in the Harvard collection there are 100000 faint stars still unclassl fled.
 This priceless collection of astro- nomical photographic plates. for years surrounded by fire hazard, is now we'll safeguarded. Professor Shapley said that tests had been made which demonstrated that the plates were secure from either fire or water damage. They are kept in brick storehouse, equipped with a water sprinkler system.
 Since the first photograph of a star was made In 1850 under the supervision of Professor George c, Bond, the Harvard collection has been growing steadily. Systematic photographic work with several tel escapes was begun prior to 1900, Dozens of telescopes at the observa- tory and at Its stations in Arequipa, Peru, and elsewhere are constantly adding to the collection. which now numbers some 3O0,ooo plates. Near ly all of these are considered of val ue in the study of current astro- nomical problems, and those taken prior to 1900 are said to be undu- plicated elsewhere

Lack of Snow Curtails
 Finland's Buying Power

Helsingfors, Finland, March 24.- The unusually mild winter weather which has been experienced for the last few months throughout all the Baltic states. has had far-reaching effects in Finland. especially on the timber trade, which has been seri- ously hampered. Widespread un- employment has brought diminution in the purchasing power of a large proportion of the people, and a re- auction in the market for con- modities.
 Finnish timber handlers depend upon snow for hauling, and usually during the winter season find the rivers swollen by floods. making it possible to float timber to market. This year hauling his been virtually impossible. and only in the north and east has the lumber been got ten out without the greatest diff culty.

captured Mecca. The senussis play much the same role in Northern Africa, insisting that Islam be stripped Of all luxurious practices and that 1t shall be marked by the utmost simplicity. Es Senussi did not overlook a propaganda depart mcnt.' He established the famous University of Jaghbub which was long a power in the land, and which still operates with a greatly reduced student body.
 It's Glory Has Departed
 "JagNbub has been visited by few Europeans. It was long held in- violate somewhat as Mecca Is, But there Is little to induce a sightseer to cross miles of desolate desert, The oasis is very small. water Is scarce, and the dates are of inferior qual- ity. There are now only about 100 inhabitants. Resides the mosque and the white, hastionlike buildings. of the university, the structures of the community are negligible.
 During the great war the Senussi, under German and Turkish stimu- Jus, wagcd war on the Anglo -Egyp- tian forces. The leader at that time Saved Ahmed, divided his time be- tween Jaghbub and the extensive, prosperous oasis of Si-"- about 60 miles to the southeast. After his de- feat by British forces he escaped from Africa in a Turkish submarine leaving as next claimant for leader ship a cousin, Sidi Mohammed Idris who has been friendly toward the British and Italians.
 "Refore Great Britain relin. pushed her protectorate over Egypt she had agreed that the Egyptian Italian boundary be drawn so as tc leave Jaghbub on the Italian side oi the line. Italy, asserting that this arrangement is still binding, is ask ing for the formal transfer of the oasis from Egypt"

SEEKS ID LAY TAX
 BURDEN ON LUXURY
System Of Sunptuary LeVies h.
 tTOduCNd in Holland

The Hague, Holland, March A. A widespread system of sumptuary taxes is about to be introduced by the Dutch government as a substi- ute for certain concessions and re- auctions in the direct taxation. This latter has been extremely heavy dur ing and since the war; and has caused much popular discontent. The income tax has been raised again and again, owing to the neces- sty of providing funds for keeping the country in an efficient state of defense.
 Now bill has been drafted grant, ing increased relief from taxation to married couples. and for children, and also reducing materially the death duties. This would cost the state about 28,O00,00O florins annu- ally.
 Against this 1t is proposed to lm- pose a consumption tax of ten per cent on all hotel and restaurant bills. The same amount is to be levied on the sale of luxury articles such as jewelry, antiquities, porcelains, pi- anolas, gramophones, tapestries, perfumes and garments for men and women, the sale price of which ex- ceeds an established minimum fig ure; also on confectionery, canned goods and games.
 Automobiles, pleasure craft, wire less and photographic apparatus, sporting guns and paintings will pay five per cent.
 A noteworthy innovation in the project is that charitable bequests, which have hitherto been duty-free are now to be taxed ten per cent.

 ritOIy From Egypt

Washington, D. C., March o4.- Italy has asked Egypt to give her immediate possession of the oasis of Jaghbub four hundred miles due west of Cairo across the Libyan lesert
 The geography of this latest in- tcrnatlonal territorial demand sounds bit improbable" says a bulletin rom the Washington, D. C. head quarters of the National Geographic society, "until one remembers that Italy now possesses a large area of Northern Africa-Tripoli-and that this Italian colony adjoins Egypt on the west. Jaghbub Git is also spelled Jarabub and Jarabaib) lies about on what has heretofore been the disputed frontier between Egypt and Tripoli, or Cyrenaica, as the northeastern part of Tripoli is called. It IS about 120 miles inland from the Mediterranean coast, al- most due south of the border port of Sollum.

YOUR income TAX
No. 4

The revenue act of 1924 provides
that the status Of a taxpayer relative
to the amount Of his personal exemp-
tions shall be determined by appor-
tionment in accordance with the num-
Der of months the taxpayer was
single, married, or the head of a
family. Under the preceding act the
amount of the exemption to which the
taxpayer was entitled was determined
as a single person, a married person,
or the head Of a family on the last
day Of the taxable year, December 81,
if the return was made on the calen-
day year basis, as most are.
For example, a taxpayer married
on September 80, 1924, would be en-
titled to an exemption Of $1,375. For
the first nine months he is classified
as a single man emitting him to an
exemption Of $750-three-fourths of
the $1,000 exemption allowed a single
person-and for the last three months
he is entitled to an exemption of
