MELLON KEPT BUSY

Secretary Mellon was required to do a great deal
of negotiating to secure the privilege Of having his
daughters reception at the Pan-American. In his
own right he had no claim to the honor.
1t was necessary for him to obtain the formal con-
sent, through its diplomatic representative in Wash
ington, of each government affiliated with this all
American league Of nations.
OF course, in this instance Mr.. Mellon had only to
let his desire be known.
And it was an event which will linger long in the
memory Of all who were privileged to be present. 1t
was a warm summer day. The breakfast was served
under gay striped awnings on the terrace overlooking
the Aztec garden, through which the bridal party
made its entrance.

Star Lore
THE TELESCOPE JUST A HUGE
Bv Arthur Dew. Garments

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
The telescope in principle is just
an enlarged eye. Estimating that
the pupil Of the human eye Is one
fifth Of an inch In diameter, a
telescope with an aperture Of one
inch would gather Is times as much
light as the eye, for light gather
ing power Increases as the square
of the diameter. Applying this
principle, the 36-inch telescope at
Lick observatory gathers 32,400
times as much light as the human
eye, and the 40-inch refractor at
Yerkes observatory 10000 times al
much. With such great light gath
ering telescopes, the brightest stars
may be seen in the daytime.

Success in business, a gratified

There can be no doubt that happi-

real factors In life.
Some folks are miserable and
cranky on "Blue Monday" They
have formed the habit Of blowing

This is a bad habit. 1t is I'M

I look with pity upon a man who

after I have yielded to the bad
habit Of depression, crustiness. or

Such habits undermine the health.
They produce indigestion, headache,

all sorts of nervous symptoms.
If you have no regard for the

should cultivate the habit Of cheer

length Of life.
Fear Of disaster, fear Of the poor

fear is fatal to cheerfUlness. You
must have faith in God, in your
fellow men, and in yourself or else
you will have gloom OF spirit, with
all its evil effects upon your soul

Every doctor will tell you that a
~contented mind is better than great

When you have converted your
