SCHOOL PAPER
PRINTS PHOTOS
OF MILKY Way

CHICAGO GA Photographic
atlas of the most interesting portions
of the Milky Way visible from the
northern hemisphere has been printed
by the, University of Chicago press
for the Carnegie institution at Wash
ington.
For 20 years the late Prof. E. E.
Barnard of Yerkes observatory of the
University of Chicago labored on the
volumes, which have been issued three
years after his death. They will be
distributed in limited numbers to the
great libraries of the world
Professor Barnard, pioneer in the
art of celestial photography, worked
with powerful Photographic tele-
scope, especially designed for the pur-
pose and constructed with funds given
by the late Miss Bruce of New York.
The camera has a quadruple lens OF
1O-inch aperture and 50-inch length.
With long exposures it can reach
stars as faint as the 18th magnitude.
It is estimated that half a million
stars are shown on some of the
prints in the atlas, which are slightly
less than 10 by 10 inches in size.
The Bruce telescope was set up at
the Mount Wilson observatory in
California SO that Professor Barnard
could photograph the southern por-
tions of the Milky Way from that
high altitude, and large number OF
the photographs were made there.
Others were completed at the Yerkes
observatory.

Coast Destroyer SquQdrons Sham War As They Train
Indian Wheat Prince
Will Give Party For
His Many Friends

WASHINGTON tP).-Of special in
terest to American wheat farmers is
the party which the Maharaja OF
Patiala will give during the weeks OF
November for 1000 fellow princes and
foreign guests.
The maharaja is not himself dirt
farmer, but revenues from the waving
wheat fields of Patiala in India's
wheat belt, have made him the third
richest prince of India, according to
the records of the National Geo
graphic society.
Profits from wheat permit him to
instruct his retainerS that during the
durbar they are not to count the cost
of camparisoned elephants, extra lin
cuisines, richly furnished tents for
guests who cannot be accommodated
in the vast pink sandstone palace,
corps of entertainers, corps OF SER
wants, and rare food and viands.
Patiala lies just north of Delhi on
the divide between the headwaterS OF
the Indus and the GangeS. It is
about the size of Connecticut. Eng
ish families on their way from Delhi
to Sirnla, in the Himalayan foothills
to escape to the heat, pass close to
PatialalS boundaries. Few standard
maps reveal the state because Patiala
ordinarily is Jumped under the desig-
nation 'Phulkian States" of which
it is the largest.
Famine rode hard through Patiala
in the old days when droughts dried.
up the young crops Modern engi-
neering has brought that dread d
"horsen1an'' down. Canals and wells
guarantee over one-fourth of the cul-
tivated area against drought and in
cidently guarantee the revenue of the
government of Patiala which mounts
up to more than $2,500,000 per year.
There are almost no cities in the
western sense of the word so that
100000 people scattered over the
hills form dense agricultural popu
lation Where there. are 200 to 300
people per square mile farms must
be limited from three to 10 acres.
What saves Patiala from want is
its nearneSS to the equator, which
permits the growing of two crops per
year Not uncommonly a. Jat farmer
will harvest a fine stand of Anleri-
can corn before he plants his wheat,
which he will harvest in the late fall.
But in the magnificence OF court
life at Patiala town the fertility OF
the state isA dramatized. There one
may see at the arrival of an 1mpor-
tant visitor the maharaJa, gorgeous
host at the railroad station in a
jeweled tiara and breast-plate OF
emeralds. Silver state coaches are re-
served for the great ones while the
others follow behind in costly auto
mobiles
One reception hall glitters with
chandeliers which feStoon the ceiling
like mass of stalactites The story
is told that the present maharaja's
father went one day unattended into
the showroom of Calcutta's electri-
cal firm. The clerks paid little at
tention to him. Piqued, the naha-
raja demanded, "How much for the
contents of this shop?"

Every well, send them along"
Although the reception hall hangs
full with chandeliers there are still
some boxes from the electrical shop,

Tourists Erase amt
From Pictures Drawn
By Ancient Indians

PAINT ROCK, Texas, Nov. 70, tP-
The painted rocks on the Concho
river, treasured as one of the most
valuable relics of Indian habitation
in the state are in danger of being
effaced by mutilation at the hands
of visitors.
Initials of tourists from all parts
of the world have been scratched on
the rocks, which extend for about a
quarter of a mile along a high bluff.
Crude drawings by modern "artists"
have scratched the paint and pro-
vided cracks at which the weather
can work to erase the Indian art from
the rocks.
The paint used by the Indians still
is good, and probably would last for
several DECADES, experts say, if tour
lists would refrain from scratching
at it.

Thorough Schooling
GiUen Every Member
OfEach Department

CHARLESTON, S. G. R-Officers
shout commands, decks are cleared
for action, men jump to their posts,
guns boom, airplanes zoom above,
great screens of smoke hide speed
ing ships cutting the water into
spray-all in practice for the real
business of war.
The Atlantic coast destroyer squad
ron of the United States scouting
fleet, consisting OF 36 destroyers, two
tenders, a light cruiser and 5000 Of
ficers and enlisted men, have started
the gunnery year with drills and short
range battle practice off the coast
of Charleston.
This. is the most elementary of the
gunnery training program, which oc-
cupies more than six months every
yearso that men and ships may be
kept in trim. Five days week the
ships leave port in the morning, go
past the bar for 10 or is miles. work
until mid-afternoon and then return
for the night.
In making quick runs past targets
towed by tugs, the destroyers keep
their guns trained on the objects
while the mechanism is snapped.
There is no actual firing at this time,
but check is kept on the gun crews
aim.
Then, on regular schedules, the
ships fire at the targets. Solid shells
are used. The tips are painted SO
that when hole is made in the
target ring of color is left. Thus the
accuracy of gun and crew may be
recorded. Gun crews making high
average are given prize money. Com
plete files of all shots are kept and
studied.
Over week-endS the destroyers re-
main in port and the crews are Civ
en- 48 hours shore liberty. Regular
police systems are established and
order is preserved among 5000 men
on the city streets. Occasionally trips
are made to- sea to work out tac-
tical problems of attack and coun-
ter-attack.
The remainder Of the Atlantic
scouting fleet, cruisers and battle
ships has been at Hampton Roads for
practice. Later all the ships will go
to their home yards for the Christ
mas season, and to prepare for the
winter long range battle practice.
This is the first time Charleston
has been used as the fall base. Here
tofore Guantanamo has been both
the fall and winter base for the
drills, but the expense entailed in
making the long trip from northern
home yards to Cuba, returning for
Christmas, and going back again to
Guantanamo for the months OF
January, February and March is SO
great that naval officers are seeking
a reduction. If the experiment at
Charleston is successful the port may
become the official base of the squad-
rons.
Winter exercises which call for
long range battle and torpedo prac-
tice will continue to be held in Guam
tanamo. The expensive torpedoes are
easily damaged if there is less than
60 fathoms of water, and the shelv-
ing shoes of the South Atlantic coast
make such drills, one Of the most
important for destroyers, impractic-
able.
After the work in Cuban waters Is
completed the ships return to the
north for brief maneuvers. In the
summer all destroyers take naval
reserves on cruises, and by the time
these are completed it is time for the
gunnery practice again. The naval
year is one complete cycle Of train
ing.
