Star Lore
Distance to a Star
(~Photometric MethOd.)
BY Arthur Dew Carnenter

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
The trigonometric method Of find
ing a stars parallax may be en-
ployed up to a distance Of 300 light
years. Beyond that, a star shows no
displacement from a basellne Of the
diameter Of the earth's orbit. Thus
the distance Of only the nearest
stars may be so measured. But the
astronomer has found new methods
for determining the parallax Of
more remote stars. When the real
brightness Of a star can be deter
mined, and compared with its appar-
ent brightness, the stars distance
may be computed. Certain kinds OF
stars reveal their real brightness.
This process is known as the photo
metric method Of determining stellar
parallaX.

year round. It is in the Springtime,
however, when all Provence bursts into
glory. Almond and cherry blossoms
color the trees. Purple and white mac
grow In profusion, and the intense blue
Of the skies contrasts with the green
grass.
Home Of Troubadours.
Provence is the home Of the trouba-
dours. In the Dark Ages. when the
pursuit of the arts was at a standstill in
the rest Of Europe, the singers OF
Provence evolved poetry In their own
language, mixture of Ligurian, Celt.
Phoenician. Greek. Roman, Eisigoth and
Saracen. The troubadour was the
'sheik' of the Dark Ages He wooed the
lady of his choice by singing his own
compositions to her in the castle hall.
She responded by putting gold ring
on his finger as q pledge Of affection at
ceremony somewhat resembling the
positions of the troubadourS many pres
sent-day literary forms had their origin.
THE first port Of France and the
largest city OF Provence Is Marseille. It
was once a Greek and later a Roman
city and Its name IL derived from the
Greek. MasSalia. Some Of Marseille S
fame rests on a soup. 1t is the famous
bouillabaiSse Of which poets have sung
and visiting Americans still endeavor to
identify the numerous ingredients.
Fresh fish from the French coast sup
plies the backbone of this connection.
"Marseille is a city of cafes. They
line the streets and their thousands OF
patrons prattle and gesture while they
drink their coffee of strip and water.
Not of the patrons are French. Blonde
Scandinavians, brown Arabs, Chinese
any race and any type may be found
in this most cosmopolitan seaport.

M|STRAL, EUROPE'S
BEST KNOWN WIND
"Storm" That Halted Zeppe-
lin Comes With Cold in
Heat of Day.

It was the niistraI. ''Europe'S best
known wind" that stopped and then
blew adrift the crippled Graf Zeppelin
when it was forced to turn back from
its voyage to America recently. This
wind and Provence, Frances southeast
ern division, in which the airship came
to earth. are the subjects Of a bulletin
from headquarters OF the National
Geographic Society.
"A mistral storm In Provence differs
from a windstorm in the United States,
says the bulletin. THE brilliant SUM-
shine and cloudless skies Of Provence
are not affected by its advent, But no
mater how blistering the sun may be,
the mistral always brings a piercing
cold. Farmers of Provence dread 1t so
much they protect their fields from the
mistral's onslaught by hedges Of cypress
and shields Of reeds.
A Land Of Contrasts.
provence, the home of the rnistral,
is land Of contrasts. There are high
mountains, rich, alluvial plains, arid,
pebbly regions and the famed garden
spots of the Riviera. The last, which
include Nice, Cannes, Mentone and
Monte Carlo, are better known to tour
lists than most towns in the interior of
Provence. The Riviera is semitropical
in climate and consequently lovely the

Marseille. with its modern hustle and

Provence as much as the neat pink and

OREGON IS ONLY
TEAM TO CROSS
ST. MARY'S Line

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 90. (U.P)
Although Oregon yesterday sue
"eeded in scoring ON st. Mary's--
the first team this year that has
done so--the Saints remain today
the only undqfeated eleven on the
Pacific coast. The final score was
81 to 6.
In the fourth quarter, Oregon
marched down to St. Mary's 20 yard
line, and pass from Robinson to
Browne, who was already behind the
goal line, gave Oregon her touch
down, and ruined st. Mary's perfect
defensive record.
Aside from the scoring play, and
q part Of. the third quarter when
Oregon got as far as the Saints
three yard line, there was little
danger from the Webfooters, who
were showed Under by the unques
toned superiority Of the Gaels. e
st. Mary's put over four touch
downs in the first half, one on q
beautiful pass from Stehnett to
Ending, which netted so yards and

and two on power plays after long
marches down the field. The Saints
final touchdown came in the fourth
quarter after the Oregon score,
when. Boyle plunge dover the line
tfter another long parade down the
field.
st. Mary's looked better than
ever during the season, and is a
long way from being out of the run

 There is, by the way, another an- peal in the Hollywood or 1s-dav diet that might be mentioned For years human beings have sought some magical potion, or Dill, or powder, or charm, or lotion, to &C., complsh what they desired in achieving success in love, or in money matters, or in religion. Our simple minds like to have some single substance or object to which We may pin our hopes and faiths and aspirations.
 In the case of the 1S-day or Holly wood diet that thing is grapefruit. But really there is nothing magical about a grapefruit. It contains Vltamins B and c in conslo erable amounts, but not much of the other Vltamlns; it has one part of pro- teln to five of carbohydrate; it has less than one-tenth of one per cent o1 sodium chloride or common salt It's reaction in the body is alkaline; one half grapefruit provides from oo to 100 calories; it runs a little better in iron than do oranges. As may be seen, there is nothing magical about it's virtues. One is , reminded of the chemist whose wife burst into tears. He looked at her calmly. Your tears may nave some people, he said, but to me they are merely NaC1 and H20."

PUPPETS By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

Rainy days sometimes hang heavy on the children's hands. They don't want to read, they are sick of in- door games, and they vail because there is nothing to do.
 Such a day is fine one to start the youngsters making puppets Old silk or cotton stockings cut to a suitable length make fine founda- ton for the puppets. Your scrap bag will yield all that is necessary to clothe them. Stuff the head with cotton, paint or sew on the features here is opportunity for the ere atlVe imagination to express itself in portraiture or humor.
 Shredded hemp rope makes beau- tiful golden hair. Cardboard hands can be sewn into the empty sleeves.
 Then, when thumb and third fing- CT are thrust into the sleeves, one can make the puppet gcsticulate in a realistic manner. while the fore finger thrust into the cotton head causes him to nod and talk and bow.
 When the children have finished their puppets they will perhaps want to give a play with them A little Punch and Judy theater constructed of a large cardboard box set on table and fitted up with homemade curtains is all the stage that is need ed.

 Then it came. a tiny scratching noise in the wall l was ashamed Of the start which my overwrought nerves gave me. But the old woman opposite me only laughed lightly.
 You are afraid of the mice 2" she asked They are bad up here ought to keep cat. but I do not like cats"
 There was nothing in her de- meanor to indicate that she was speaking anything but the truth. But l saw that she swallowed hard once, and she did not again ask me to sit down. Indeed, she was mov- Ing slowly toward the door with the unmistakable purpose of ushering me out. There was nothing for me to do but to take my departure as gracefully as l could, and as I. 1 crossed the roof 10 where Harry and | DIcky were standing, ' scored my l self for my melodramatc imagining that the scratching in the wall might be explained in some other way than by the theory she had ad- ranced. To think that she was other than what she appeared, an cratic old woman perfectly harm less, was to write myself down as utterly absurd

What was there about | the whole interview that gave me a feeling that if I only knew where to | stretch my hand it would fall upon | a thread which should lead me to strange discoveries. It was so elu- sive thing that Idid not speak of my impression to Dicky or Harry when l came back to them, although l metlculously retailed every other detail Of my visit even to the scratching of the mice in the wall.

 That's that, then" he said de- spondently, for the old girl never leaves the bungalow except for walk on the roof where she can sec it. The rumor is that she won't leave it because her husband died there and she loved him devotedly, but judging from her hatred of men, l should say she didn't leave because she was afraid he might come back. Well! we cant do any more hanging around here.
 Let's go back downstairs and summon Prince Georges into con ference. It's about time We sprung the tiger trap"

New York, Aug. 15-Maybe t is woman's all-seeing eye or maybe il is her instinctive flair for detail Something, however, and it is un- likely that it is chance alone, is talk ing increasing numbers of the weak CT sex into photography as a pro- 1 fession.
 In New York alone there are from 150 to 200 women whose names are known for their pictures. There are hundreds more occupying menial positions in photography es- tablishments who will one day step out and Up and be successful.
 Women have branched out tre- mendously in this business of talk ing pictures. Two New York papers have had first rate news photogra- phers on their staffs for some time. Another woman, Ella Barnett, now owns her own bureau but for years she has been a familiar sight, cam era slung over her shoulder, step- ping into the cutter to go down the pdy lO Hlttl IdIlluuS IOlhS returning from abroad. For she was one of New York's best ship news photo gfaphers. The latest addition to the picturetaking sisterhood is Edith Heating, aerial photographer.
 Women Specialize
 Portraits are the oldest and hence the most crowded line of photogra- phy. Women, going into this worII.- seem to have known instinctively that they should specialize to make headway. Take Frances Geislerr, for instance. She has a charming stu dio high in historic Carnegie Hall but she always packs up her cam- era, plates and lights and takes men and women in their own home.
 "A person is at his most natural best in his own environment" she maintains stoutly. "Lens-fright and self-consciousness are cut in half by taking a man or woman in a fa- miliar room and amongst furnish lngs that are known intimately I started home-portraits because I had
