If the parties agree, Mexico will unite them
without and without delay, and if only
wants to get divorce and has enough to buy it, the
divorce will be forthcoming.
Thus the suddenly rich gentleman speedily may
shed the od-fashioned mate who has helped him
climb from poverty, but who is too slow for him.
Such divorces come high, costing from $500 to
$4,000 but every day some American invests"
Drop the price in the slot and take out divorce
As it can all be done by mail, divorce mail order
houses will possibly spring up south of the Rio
Grande, sending to the United States spring and fall
cataogs which will show the customers the very latest
thing in separations.
American judges should hit these Mexican divorce
booeggers with club by refusing to recognize their
crooked DEGREES.

HoOyer'S Test

From the standpoint of the taxpayer, one test OF
President is in the amount of money that his admin
stration spends.
President Hoover is about to face this test Will he
continue the so-called Coolidge economy program will
he be more economical or will he prove spender?
The answer soon is to be known. The budget bureau
e completing its report on the departmental esti
mates in preparation for presentation to congress when
II convenes for its regular session in December
Taking advantage of the change in administrations,
the government departments have submitted estimates
so far in excess of the current years expenditures that
the budget bureau declares sweeping reductions must
be made if a sembance of economy is to be main
tanned.
Hoover at the outset announced that expenditures
for the next year must conform to those now in
effect For the President to one thing and TO
get 1t is another. VIII Hoover see that his budget limit
is adhered to- or will he weaken?
If Hoover remains firm, the budget fight will be
over almost before it starts If he shows signs OF let
ting down the bars he will find himself facing in
creased expenditures all along the line
The budget is submitted to congress, which after
all makes the appropriations If unusually large
one is brought in congressman are not backward in
lacking on additional items for activities in their own
districts If they think bureau is being favored
specially government departments have way of en-
listing the aid of congressman in getting additional
money for their own divisions.
Particular attention is to be paid this year to the
budget of the White House itself. The President has
more secretaries than any predecessor He has named
numerous commissions since taking ONCE. The execu-
tive Offices have been remodeled to for the in
creased stan of employees. These in themselves may

Then there is cake. Angel food,
devil food, fruit cake, pound cake,

white cake have various food values
depending on what goes into them.
The number of eggs, the flour and
the other ingredients such as sugar,
flavor, milk and fruit make up the
food value.
Cake is not good stuff either for
reducing or gaining weight. An av-

GaIaXiGS

TROM the Milky Way and the
L Magellanic clouds, DR.. Shapley
has passed on to the still more dis
tant spiral nebulae, great collections
of stars at immense distances from
the Milky Way.
Other astronomers, CT course, are
also working on these same prob
lens, notably Dr. w. S. Adams and
DR.. Edwin P. Hubble of the Mt Will
son observatory.
DR.. Shapley's most recent contri-
button to astronomy has been to
show that many of these spirals or
exterior galaXies, as they are fire.
quently called, are organized into
groups.
He calls these groups, galaXies Of
galaxies. The galaXies Of galaXles in
turn are organized into super
galaXies.
DR.. Shapley is now studying such
a super galaxy which lies in the
Coma and Virgo consultations and
is known, therefore, as the Coma
Virgo group.
There are 300 spirals or galaXies
in this group, DR.. Shapley finds. The
diameter of the group is 100000
light years and some Of the galaXies
in it are 170,OOO,O0O light years away
from the earth.
DR.. Shapley believes that there
are at least fifty other super-ga-
LAKES like the Coma-Virgo group.
1t is for the study of these super
galaxies that DR.. Shapley has sug-
gested q new astronomical unit
equivalent to 100000 light years.

Have Rhythm

:" HERE did George Cohan get
w his perfect sense of tempo,
who else has it? Alice Brady has it.
Peggy Wood has it. These two young
ladies are trained musicians. George
Cohan is also a trained musician.
Jack Donahue has this rythm
thing Donahue is a trained dancer.
George Cohan is also a trained
dancer.
And so I arrive at conclusion.
Isn't it possible that George Conan
during his many years of training
and work in music and dancing has
developed in himself such a COM
plete sense of poise and rhythm that
it carries over into his acting even
in parts where dancing and music
do not appear? This seems to me
to be logical.
Therefore, from now on, my ad-
vice to you youngsters who want
to be fine actors will be Study

Neither is his work less worthy on

Good for B0otIeggerS

DOOTLEGGERS of Washington,
d D. c., have hit on the happy de-
vice of equipping their automobiles
with congressional license plates.
These license plates are among
the gratuities which a grateful re-
public furnishes its legislators, and
they are supposed to guarantee the
holders certain courtesies, if not
privileges, at the hands of local po-
lice.
1t requires no great imagination
to understand how a bootlegger
could use them to advantage, but
how a bootlegger can get them is
another story.

thousands are in evidence, though

representatives is only sci.

IF you saw youthful-looking man
l. of less than average height and
weight, snooth-shaven and with
mild eyes and quiet smile, here
at the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Astronomical Society in Ottawa,
Carada, you hardly would guess
that his chief occupation was push
ing out the limits of the universe.
But that is exactly the case. For
the man just described is DR.. Her-
low Shapley, director of the Harvard
observatory, thanks to whose re-
searches we know today that the
universe is about 10000 times as
large as it was thought to be twenty
years ago.
DR., Shapley, who looks closer to
"a than to his real age Of A, is
famed among his friends for his
sense Of humor and his hobby-it
is the study of ants.
He is an adept at populariSing the
findings of astronomy. being the au-
thor of a number of books for lay
men and a fairly frequent speaker
over the radio.
1t was shortly after he received
his Phi. D. from Princeton uniyer-
sity that he began to push out the
limits of the universe. He then was
an astronomer at the Mt. Wilson
observatory in California.
II was with his study of the Ma
gellanic clouds that DR.. Shapley be-
can the business of expanding the
universe.

East Meeting West

THROUGH a renowned poet has
L said least is east, and west is
west, and never the twain shall
meet it looks as though the east
we're coming more than half way.
The Turk has discarded his tur-
ban, the Chinaman his queue, while
Toxic has adopted the skyscraper
and Afghanistan is in revolution
over the issue of European clothes.
If that is not enough to convince
skeptics, let them contemplate the
fact that Calcutta is out to beat
Chicago in the construction Of a
first-class subway.
The subway will connect Howriah
and Sealdah, passing under the
Hoogly river, with five stations, and
provide for trains every two min

10000 every hour.

Is there a federal widows pension

Is there federal widows pension
law?
Widows of men who served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the
United States or in any Of the wars
of the United States are, under some
conditions, entitled to compensa-
ton from the government on ac-
count of the service of their hus-
band, but there is no federal law
providing a general pension for
widows.
Were Euodias and Syntyche men
or women?
These characters, mentioned by
Paul. were Christian women, per-
haps deaconesses, or women of
great influence in the Christian
church at Philippi.

CONTINENTAL CONGRESS

CONTINENTAL CONGkEoo
Sept. 5
ON Sept. 5, 1774, the first Cont
Onental Congress met in Carpen-
ter hall, Philadelphia.
Fifty-fve delegates, representing
all colonies, except Georgia, at
tended the first assembly. They
represented a population of 2,2Oo,-
900.
Resolutions from various sections
of the country, stating their wrongs,
were presented to the congressman
and petition to the British king
(the declaration of rights and
grievances was ordered, assuring
him that by abolishing the system
of laws and regulations of which
the colonists complained, harmony
would be restored.
I'VE ask but for peace, liberty
and safety" the petition stated.
I'VE wish not a diminution of the
prerogative, nor do we solicit the
grant of any right in our favor.
Your royal authority over us ana
our connection with Great Britain
we always shall carefully and zeal
ously endeavor to support and
maintain"
The resolutions bound the colo
nistS to a common resistance to acts
Of force against all, or any one of
them. The representatives. agreed
that another congress should be
held within a month unless the
redress Of grievances which they
desired was obtained before that
time.
The first Continental Congress
adjourned, Oct. 20, after q secret
session Of fifty-otae days.

Cohan'S Secret

MAY a more or less old-time
WI performer be allowed to add
a few words to your remarks about
George Cohan's acting?" writes K.
z.
What you say about George
Cohan-his quiet method, his econ
omy of effort, his sureness of ges-
ture-is all perfectly sound, but it
seems to me that there islsomething
more.
I'm George Cohan's acting you
will find a quality that is pres
ent in the work of every great artist
in any line you care to mention.
Babe Ruth and Bobby Jones both
have his quality. So have Bill
Tilden. Charlie Chaplin, zimballst,
Tommy Loughran, Willie Hoppe and
so on.
81 am quite sure that Grant
land Rice has discussed this particu-
lar quality that is the possession OF
all the best ones.

Publicity Still Counts

OUCH Interpretation of the case
~ leaves only one mystery. Why
were the rides stopped SO soon after
the story was published? Or, to be
little more inquisitive, why was
Director of Public Welfare Wilson
left to learn about them by read
ing the newspapers?
Is it possible that the program did
not look SO we'll in print, that two
column heads caused Mr.. Sinclair's
services to seem less essential, and
that broadcasting inspired doubt?
Say what you will, but publicity
still counts for something.

No End to Survivors

TINE last survivor of the Mexican
Il war, which ended eighty-one
year ago, died Tuesday.
If the law of averages runs true
to form. the last survivor of the Civil
war will die not earlier than 1916,
and the last survivor of the World
war not earlier than 1899.
Again, if the law of averages runs
true to form, we shall have veterans
of several other wars ready and
waiting to take their places.
No great nation has dwelt in
peace long enough to be without war
survivors, which is rather shocking
in view of al that has been said on
the subject.

Magellan
HHE -Magellanic cloud

THE Magellanic clouds received
l. their name from the fact that
they were given their first adequate
description by the famous explorer,
Magellan, after his exploit Of cir
COMMUNICATING the globe. AS a
matter Of fact, however, they had
been noticed and described previ-
ously by Marco Ploo.
The Magellanic clouds are in the
southern hemisphere of the heavens
and hence invisible from the United
States. They are luminous cloud
like objects, resembling the Milky
Way. In fact, they look very much
like pieces Of the Milky Way which
had somehow gotten separated
from it.
Many astronomers, until the time
that Dr. Shapley tackled the prob
lem were inclined to regard them as
such. The outer limit of the Milky
Way was then thought to be about
10000 light years. A light year is the
distance beam of light travels in
year and is equal to 100000 1000
900 miles.
DR.. Shapley's early work showed
that the limits of the Milky Way
we're much greater thar supposed,
But more than that, they showed
that the Magellanic clouds we're not
parts of the Milky Way, but great
collections of stars lying far be-
yond it.
DR.. shapley showed that the
larger of the two clouds is $4,000
light years in diameter and at a dis
lance of 10000 light years from
the earth. The smaller cloud is $500
light years in diameter and 100000
light years away.
Another interesting fact which
came out of his work was the speed
with which these great collections
of stars are moving through space.
The small cloud has a speed OF
105 miles a second while the large
cloud is rushing through space with
a speed of ITO miles a second.
