Star Lore
BY ARTHUR Dew. CARPENTER

BY ARTHUR DEV. CARPENTER
The expression, the fixed stars
is one handed down from ancient
days. 1t was used to define the
great multitude Of stars in contrast
with a particular few that were
seen to change their positions con-
tinually. The few moving stars
were named planets. Planet means
"wanderer." Thus fixed stars and
planets. Finally Copernicus discov-
cred that the planets were moving
around the sun, and the earth, too.
So the earth was a planet! The
fixed" stars always appeared to re-
tain their same relative positions
to each other, but later improved
scientific instruments and methKrs
revealed that there r no I'd
stars. IF

PASSAGE OF REPPORTIONMENT BILL
PREDICTED

BY AME E. WATSON, Senator From Indiana.
flames E. Watson was born at Winchester,
Ind, Nov. 2, 1864. He is a graduate of DePauw
university. Admitted to the bar in 1887, he began
practicing law with his father, moving to Rush
vile six years later. He was elected to congress
in 1895, serving until 1909 with the exception of
one term. In 1903 he was the republican nomi-
nee for governor of Indiana. He was sent to the
United States senate in 1916, his last term ex-
piring in 1888. He has been a delegate to the re-
publican national convention three tines.
i expect a new census and reapportionnent bill to
be brought into the senate the first week Of the extra
session and I expect it to pass. Every effort that the
republican leadership in the senate and house can
give to this belated valuation of the constitution will
be provided.
These assurances were given to Senator Vanden-
berg of Michigan, who was in charge of the last bill,
before he withdrew the measure in the closing days
of the regular session in order to permit the great
supply appropriations of the government to break
through the %filibuster against reapportionment.
The assurances were given in good faith and will
be sustained accordingly. Senator Vandenberg made
4 game fight in the last session against insurr1ount-
able odds. AS a result, he succeeded in emphasizing
the issue to a degree which prophesies early results
He could have held this bill before the senate to the
end of the final week of the recent session and thus
defied the filibuster against it.
But he could not have passed the bill. 1t was
physically impossible. He merely could have caused
the defeat of the supply bills. These in turn would
have had to go over to the extra session where
they would have again jeopardized reapportionment
He showed wisdom in accepting a preferred status
in the extra session for reapportionment itself; and
it took more courage to make this decision than to
have Numbered into a futile impasse.
We must have an early census bill and we must
have the reapportionment bill along with it. 1t is a
mild statement that the delay in reapportionmen
legislation has been unfortunate. The senate must
cure the lapse. Reapportionment, along with tariff
and farm relief, are the major issues in the special
session.

but such is not the case. A great deal depends upon
range of fire and visibility. These considerations.
however, still fall short of explaining why it takes
so many bullets to kill a soldier.
In Juarez, for example, when the federals lost the
important border city that lies just across. the Rio
Grande from Ell Paso, the battle began just after
troops fought in some instances hand to hand. There
were a number of clashes in the streets of Juarez.
snipers armed with rifles and federal soldiers who
manned machine guns in strategic places had a good
opportunity to kill a number of the invading rebels.
The casualties are placed at % killed on both sides,
with an undetermined number of wounded.
The deaths may have exceeded %, but if so had
been killed the casualties would have been fw, COM
pared to the number of men engaged in the fighting,
the length of the battle and the proximity of the con-
tending forces. If the Mexicans had been all un-
trained volunteers. poor craftsmanship might have
been expected.
1t is assumed from the press reports that practi-
cally all the soldiers who took part in the latest Bat
tie of Juarez" were regular troops, loyal units of the
army who defended the city and rebel members Of
the army, who captured it. There were a few volun-
teers among the defenders, but evidently the greatest
number Of men on both sides were members or for
mer members of the Mexican national army. They
should be at least fair marksmen with rifles and ma
chine guns.
The fighting at JuareZ Friday morning confirms
the opinion of bullet statisticians, but we should not
on that account conclude that in Mexico, China or
anywhere else in this world, soldering when wars
and revolutions are afoot is free from danger.

The New Yorker extends its pro-

the New York Evening Journal in
the matter Of the little story he
printed about the mayor Of Hemp
stead, l.. 1. His Hampstead cor
respondent the other day telephoned
in the facts about a theft out
there. The mayor had been at
tending a movie show and while
IN the theater his toupee was stol-
en-. He was pretty indignant and
was threatening to fire his whole
police force if they didn't 0
his property.
These facts were turned over to
a writer in the office, who made
quite an amusing story of it-how
his honor had suddenly turned out
b~aldheaded and the audience had
Uttered. They were still chuckling
about the story in the office next
day when the mayor of Hampstead
himself telephoned, indignant, and
demanding r%etractions and apollo
gles. He wore his own hair, he
said, and was, in fact, proud of it.
What really had been stolen was
his coupe.

SHOE TARIFF IS
CONTESTED

The fight of an east-west coali-
tion for a tariff on boots, shoes,
leather and hides today threatened
to displace sugar as the most bit.
terly contested schedule in the new
Hawley tariff bill pending in the
House.
While New England and Far
Western interests had buried the
hatchet on this question for the
first time in years and are uniting
in the plea for tariff on all four
articles. Consumers bloc" is
ground that the nations shoe bill
would be raised $1O0 0.000, 900 a year.
Strained relations have developed
in the Ways and Means Committee
over this question, 1t was learned.
The quarrel started when Rep.
resentative Treadway R) of Massa.
chussetts. informed Representative
Hawley R) of Oregon that he had
polled the committee and found
13 of the Is Republicans willing to
put tariff upon all these articles.
When the tariff advocates came
before the Ways and Means Com.
mittee in secret session to present
their case. Hawley suggested that
in view of the committees attitude
the boot, shoe, leather and hide
interests should agree on rates and
the hearings might be avoided.
Representative ChindblOm CR) of
Illinois. opposing the tariff, i'm
mediately declared that he had
heard of no agreement in the com.
mittee to put these articles on the
dutiable list and declared that he
would not stand, for such prac.
tice.
The committee then decided to
continue the hearings and decide
the matter of tariff formally in
closed session probably next week.
