This. as far as known at pres
ent, is near the ne plus ultra of
stellar luminosity. Campus is
perhaps the very king of kings
among the stars. Still, there il
another that may possibly contest
the crown-a star of less than the
standard first magnitude, as we
see it, Alpha Cygni, or Deneb,

mer evening sky.
According to measures which,
though uncertain, are more likely
to be below than above the truth,
Deneb is at least ten thousand
times more luminous than the sun.
A change in the present uncertain
data might easily place it above
Rigel, and even above Campus.
1t may prove interesting to give
the figures showing the luminosity
of other bright stars as compared
with that of the sun-on the sup
position that all, including the sun,
are looked at from the same dis

NEGOTIATIONS

Do Women Know Too Much?

For instance, until a woman

herself, she is usually impressed
or thrilled at the way in which
her husband handles the car.
AFTER she learns, she is captious
and nervous.
She can see just how crude is
his technique and how reckless his
system, and an occasional grinding
of the gears may inspire her to
some very CALLING and caustic
criticism.
Before a woman learns how to
make a living for herself, she is
contented and grateful to receive
the monthly allowance grudgingly
doled out by her lord and master.
But once she has tasted the

careful consideration which thaS
meritcd before The usual Legislative
difficulties arose.
When the regular session convened
l was fully expectant that remedial
legislation would be forthcoming al
an early date.

that the legislature did not work IN

The appropriations carried in the
general appropriation pill whicn

tirely inadequate for the next two
years.
The courts are sending new pat
tents to the asylum almost every
day. The number of inmates of the
asylum increases pEoportionateIv
with the growth in population OF
the state.
What is true of the asylum applies
to other state institutions. The
eighth legislature, like legislatures
in the pas-, seemed to believe thag
one of is major functions was to
slash appropriations. Thee very nat
ture of things argues against such
q policy. We have the authority or

state that appropriations were cut
to the minimum in 1922 commen-
surate with safety. Reductions III
appropriations have since been MADE
at the expense of state institutions
which have resulted in serious &C.

The capitol building is badly over
crowded. But the eighth state leg
;slature created new offices requir-
ing additional space, with no pro
vision to care for housing them.

partments and offices have had their
appropriations so reduced in the ap

The main price trend in the COM
