ASTRONOMERS
TO AID U. 7.
Noted Leaders To Be Con
suited In Building Nc
Donald Observatory
By s. M BROOKS


AUSTIN, March 14.-Foremost
astronomers of America will be in
vited by the University of Texas tc
assist in planning the observatory
made possible by the settlement OF
the Mcdonald will case, President
H. Y. Benedict Of the university has
announced.
They will be consulted as to loca-
| ton, equipment, and the scope OF re-
| search work to be undertaken, he
said.
An observatory designed to stand
| for hundreds Of years and to work
out some new phase Of astronomical
| study, and which will deal with plan
cts or groups perhaps a million
light years away from 1t, is not set
up overnight, nor is any phase of its
building or its operation left to
chance, DR.. Benedict, himself one of
the little group of about a dozen
men in the nation skilled in the
science Of astronomy, made clear.
The University Of Texas will want
to locate the observatory as near the
main university at Austin as may
prove feasibue, Dr.. Benedict said.
The scope of work to be decided
upon will have a bearing on the 10
cation required for it, he said.
Probabilities are the observatory
will be located somewhere in Texas,
though other universities have them
as far away as South Africa. The
| will Of the late w. j. Mcdonald,
under which the bequest of over a
million dollars was settled by agree
ment of Attorney General Claude
Pollard at Paris this week. leaves
the university free to select any site
for the new plant. having said only
ain connection with the University
of Texas"
DR.. Benedict indicated the uni
versity probably will spend from
three to five years in getting the To-
cation decided upon. the expensive
telescopes and equipment ordred
and built, and the scientific staff to
man the observatory, before actual
building Is started.
This also will give the fund time
to earn an increment that will Off
set the reduction made in finally
getting the bequest past the stage of
litigation, and to add to the endow-
ment.
The bequest is left open for ad-
ditional gifts of money or equipment
to the university.
The university does not construe
the Mcdonald bequest to suggest q
student observatory, for the teach
ing of astronomy, nor does it have
any present need for such a plant,
it vas learned.
Astronomers. such as the removed
George Ellery Hale, of Pasadena,
who established the Yerkes obser-
vatiory and also contributed to the
building of the Mount Wilson OBJ
~servatory. will be invited to come to
Texas and consult with the uni
versity authorities in deciding upon
the factors governing location, and
upon the field of work to be under
taken by the university observatory.
The greatest difficulty in Texas,
in putting an observatory in oper-
alton is the extreme range of tenn
perature changes from day to night,
DR.. Benedict said.
Of the money for the observatory.
a portion will be used in buying
equipment and in building the plant,
and part will he reserved as endow-
ment and for maintenance and OPP
Grating expenses.

DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
OF constipation for AZ years. and
believed that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation VIII occur
from time TO time regardless Of how
much one tries to avoid it. OF next
importance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DIR. Caldwell al
ways was in favor of getting as
close to nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known as
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup pepsin. il a
mild vegetable compound. IL can
not harm the most delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepare
tion. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love IT. 1t
does not grippe. Thousands of moth
crs have written us TO that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did o approve Of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hui
mar beings to put into their sys-
tenn. In a practice of AZ years he
never saw any rcason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just rs
promptly, more ~cleanly and gently,
without gripping and harm TO the
system.
Keep free from constipation! II

arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let q day 60 by
