Laplace assumes that from
the nucleus of a nebulous mass
which became the sun, rings
were left off, which were shaped
into planets, our earth included.
On the contrary, Prof. Campbell
claims that the earth and the
other seven planets had their
birth when our sun passed near
another star, when on account :,
of their mutual gravitation a
swarm of minor worlds was pro-
duced, which afterward were
formed into larger individuals.
Whose theory do you think is
the more likely?-M. Levitt,
Bronx"
THE Laplace hypothesis has a
Il unity of design and a logical
development that are very allur-
ing. 1t appeals to the universal
preference for simplicity of plan.
Once set going it proceeds onward
like a rolling wheel. 1t also ac.
cords in the most striking fashion
with the principal existing facts of
S the SOAR system.
But there are certain details
that do not accord with recognized
mathematical developments in
physics, and on account OF these
many astronomers now reject it
and give a, more or less complete
assent to the opposing theory,
which you ascribe to Prof. Camp
bell, but which, in fact, was origi-
mated by Chamberlain, the geolo-
gist of Chicago University, in col
Liberation with Moulton, the
mathematician, of the same uni
versity. 1t is known as the plane
tesimal theory.
At first view it appears arbi-
trary and unlikely. A huge star
(other SUM is supposed to have
passed near our sun, then in an
early stage of development and
supposedly without an attendance
of planets. The effect of the
powerful tidal attraction of the
passing star was to produce ejec-
tons of matter from the plastic
body of the sun, and this elected
matter, streaming out into the
region surrounding the sun, con-
densed into masses revolving in
3 intricate elliptic orbits. Through
collisions and fallings together of
such masses the planets are as
sumed to have been gradually built
up.

QUESTIONS OF

LBy Cornelius Beeckman.
A Well Set Table
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

NEAh MrNSs bEGOAMAN6
~ What is the precisely cor
rect place for the bread-and-butter
plate? I.
The bread-and- butter plate should
be- placed on the left of the place
plate, above the tips of the forks
or, If the forks are unusually long,
slightly to the left of them.
When set a place at table I
keep in mind the fact that /
want all lines to go either hori-
zontal or perpendicular. That is,
there should be no cross lines, no
lines that do not go straight up
and down or straight across. To
do this, for instance, you place
the water glass or goblet at the
tips of the knives, and on a line
with the bread-and-butter plate,
which is placed at the tips of the
frame for your place.
Then place your knives and
spoons perfectly straight at the
right of your plate and the forks,
perfectly straight, at the left of
the plate. That continues the
frame. Now place your butter
spreader on the butter plate paral-
lei with the edge of the table. Do
not, as most hostesses or wait
resses do, place it "any old way"
in an uncertain angle, so that it
makes another line with the sill.
yer pieces. Place it across the
rim, the top rim of the plate, with
the tip and the handle touching
the rim.
Now place your napkin straight
parallel to the forks, on the left
side of the plate. Have the open
corner toward the plate.
IL you do this, you will find
that the lines go agreeably to the
eye Of the beholder.
Do not. as many hostesses do,
place your oyster fork across your
knives. on the right. or across
your forks on the left. IL you
place an oyster fork land they are
not used much now at formal par
ties) place it parallel to the other
pieces of silver, either on the right
or on the left. Some people
stoutly maintain that this fork
should always be on the right,
with the knives, but there is no
reason why this should be. AS a
matter of fact, it should be placed
on the side on which it best bal
ances with the other pieces Of
silver.

COOLIDGE SILENCE

Hundreds of people saw President Coolidge while he was
IN Yellowstone National Park and during his trip out over
the Cody Way from the park, but you don't hear any of them
telling what President Cal said at this or that time. Our
President just don't run off at the mouth. There is little
doubt but that he sees practically everything that is going
of national Importance, but he doesn't talk. With the large
following of newspaper men about him, not one of them has
the opportunity of sending in stories to the effect that Cal
said this or Cal said that.
Those in close touch with governmental affairs know that
President Coolidge can talk. He can say Eyes" and he can
say mo" with equal forcefulness. During his administration
he has never been at a loss to make a decision, and frankly
I'VE believe his judgment has been most accurate. Coolidge
has a wonderful way of arriving at hidden truths, and re-
CARELESS of public opinion has been fearless in deciding ma
tional questions in his own way.
The best evidence that President Coolidge is a strong be-
lever in silence, is evidenced by the manner in which he made
statement that he did not choose to- again be a candidate for
president. Had he called in the press and made a general
statement of his position, his words would have probably
been garbeled to the extent that he would scarcely recognize
his statements. However he chose to make himself most
plain in this manner. He even went so far as to write it
down. There has never been the shadow of a doubt as to
just what President Coolidge said, however much conjecture.
there may be as to what he means. And if we are any
Judge, he meant just what he said. He does not choose to
be a candidate, and being a man of substantial ideas and
character, he will not be a candidate unless he chooses.

SCHOOL DAYS

School days, school days, saddest and gladdest of the year.
Saddest for children who, with the first day of school, must bid
farewell to the freedom of vacation days and gladdest to-mothers
who then begin their vacation.
1t is hard for outdoor and pay-ioving boys to return to
school, but after a day or two they find that school isn't a
bad place to be after all. The three RS are not such a bitter
pill when taken with liberal doses Of sports, recess games and
schooldays' companionship. There have been two revolution
airy developments in education-free schools and popular schools.
Once parents could not keep their children in school. Now
they could not keep them out of school. The schools, not the
children, deserve the credit.
Mother breathes a sigh of relief when school opens for
then she can pack the little Indians off to school and enjoy
a few hours of peace and quiet, but when the summer recess
arrives she will welcome relief from those two "packings'
a day. Teachers who have had practical experience in getting
a child ready for school can appreciate what they ask when
they urge their pupils to report each session with clean faces
and hands, clean clothes, hair combed and teeth clean.
Soon the great trek back to the schoolro0m will begin and
the shouts and laughter will not be distnguishable from
those that accompanied the equally great exodus last spring.

YELLOWSTONE PARK AS AN INSTITUTION

After a few days in Yellowstone National Park, our hat is
off to the management there. Every phase of the park ma
chinery seems to work with precision. There is every indication
of a master hand at the helm of affairs there and the guess that
the master is Mr.. Horace M. Albright and his corps of efficient
directors would not be far afield.
From the time you enter the national playground, get your
pass port and registration from the genial ranger at the en-
trance, motor over the splendid roads, stop at the hotels or
camps, until you are ready to leave the park you are impressed
with the immensely of the institution you are visiting, and of
how much consideration has been taken of your every comfort
and pleasure.
At the gateways you are given literature regarding this
vast wonderland. Everything you may need to know regarding
the park is told in these park guides. Each and every cross
road you come to is well marked, and never need you be in
doubt as to your exact whereabouts nor the correct road to
take to reach the desired point of interest. The park has not
been Commercialized, yet what you need can be purchased there.
There are sufficient gasoline stations and stores-at important
points there are picture shops, and at Mammoth, which is
park headquarters you will find a lively little city, teeming with
activity, from which point the heads of all the park departments
operate. isaE~ta- Ty %@--T4-T ~
~ AT Mammoth you will find Supt. Abright's office also that
of MIR. Nichols general manager of the hotels company and
Mr.. Childs, general director of the park transportation. 1t
is to these three men that the greatest credit is due for the
parks most efficient management. The park is administrated
by MI. Albright, but it is the close cooperation of these other
gentlemen in the conduct of their business there that makes it
possible for him to do things, and to do them right.
Yellowstone park is rightfully named the greatest of all
Fairgrounds of the world. 1t is wonderful with it's scenic gran
deur, its phenomena, its wildlife and its beautiful pinecoyered
hills and valleys, but equally inspiring is the great organization
which has made it accessible to hundreds of thousands of
pleasure seekers each season.
