Are stars pointed as they appear
to be? Why do they twinkle?

Are stars pointed as they appear
to be? Why do they twinkle?
The apparent points on the stars
are due to the phenomena of inter-
ference with the light rays which
come 10 us from them, and are part
OF the phenomena Of twinkling. The
colors Of the stars are due to diff
ferenceS Of their physical condi-
lions, such as differences in temper
atures and in the amount of light
absorbed by the atmospher sur
rounding the stars, irregularities Of
refraction in the air traVersed by
the light on its way to the eye (due
to winds and differences Of temper
ature), and also to the fact that a
star is OFFICIALLY a luminous point
without apparent SiZe-a fact which.
under the circumstances give rise
to the optical phenomenon of in
reference. Planets which have SEN
sible disks do not twinkle to any
marked degree.
Do Guaranty" and Warranty"
have the same meaning in law?
They are derived from the same
root, and are in fact basicaliy the
same word, the g" of the Norman
French being interchangeable with
the English "w". ColloquIally in
commercial transactions they often
have the same signification, as
where a piece of machinery or the
produce of an estate is guaranteed"
for term of years, warranted" be-
ing the more appropriate term in
such case. But in strict legal
usage the two terms are widely dis
tinguished in this, that warranty
is an absolute undertaking or LA
bility on the part Of the warrantor,
and the contract is void unless it is
strictly and literally performed,
while a guaranty is a promise, en-
tirely collateral to the original con-
tract, and not imposing any primary
liability on the guarantor, but bind
ing him to be answerable for the
failure or default of another.
If a veteran fails to pay off a
loan on the adjusted service certifi-
cate does the government pay the
bank from which the loan was Sc
cured the full amount of the GER
tifcate or just the amount which
was borrowed on it?
If the loan is not paid by the
veteran at maturity, the bank pre-
sents the veterans note, secured by
the Adjusted Service Certificate Cor
policy, to the government, which
pays the bank the amount of the
loan and accumulated interest, al
lows the veteran to redeem the GER
tificate, or if he does not redeem,
deducts the amount paid the bank
and interest, and pays the re-
mainder to the veteran or his heirs
exactly as if the policy had never
had a loan upon it.

Vote-and Vote Right

Nothing can be more important than a
vote in the primaries tomorrow.
This State has been afflicted with corrup-
ton. That has been proved by the two years
of exposure through The Times.
1t now knows the source of the government
which has disgraced it. There can no longer be
any doubt
The vicious combination has been thor
oughly revealed. The forces of bigotry and
intolerance and corruption combined to give
Indiana its Jacksons, its Walbs, its Duvalls, its
petty thieves of councilmen, its rats who in
tested its minor offices.
Tomorrow the primaries, and especially the
Republican primaries, will tell the world
whether Indiana is content in its corruption
or has enough vitality and honesty to stand
with Illinois and Ohio in overthrowing the
forces of evil.
If you want crookedness in public office, you
should vote tomorrow.
FOUR problem will be very easy You have
only to vote the ticket of George " Coffin in
this county and of the machine in the State
You will know an easy way to continue the
tradition of Stephensonism and of Cofinism
You have only to vote for the same old gang
and the same old forces.
If you want honesty in office, if you want
to advertise Indiana to the Nation as decent
and honest and American, the path is also easy.
You have only to vote against the candidates
who are bargaining with the bosses, who are
proteges of the old machine.
You may be very sure that every crook,
every criminal, every bootlegger, every thug,
every bigot, will be on the job. They will vote.
This appeal is not necessary to them. They
understand the value Of vote.
1t goes to the man and woman who have
been Indifferent, who have Thought perhaps
that all politics are rotten, who have not taken
the trouble to vote at all.
Indiana is honest. Indiana is decent. In
diana is not corrupt.
Is the State that is honest and decent worth
saving from its past infamies2
The answer is whether the men and women
who want nothing from government but
square deal go to the polls tomorrow and give
a half hour to the salvation of the State.
The bosses are trying in every way to keep
down the vote. They know that small vote
means disaster. They depend on the lethargy
Of citizens.
Vote tomorrow. Vote for your own inter
ests Vote for what you want in politics and
in government.
March tomorrow with the American Legion.
The boys who fought for you are asking you
to enlist in the big battle of citizenship.
