In which they are red again. These
are the dwarf red stars.
Our sun is really dwarf yellow star
and an average star. It is big because
It is only about $4,000, 900 miles away.
The planets in our solar system are
also comparatively small and very near
to us. They are visible because of re-
fiected light from the sun. II they
were far out in space among other
stars they would not be visible.
Ir.eguIarlty Of Light Studied.
When astronomers speak of time they
deal In vast figures, Of course. in GEN.
turtles or millions Of years. So also
when they speak of distances they ex-
pres their data in light years-the dis
lance light travels In one year at the
rate of 1860 miles q second.
What causes the irregularity OF light
coming from the big red stars is queS-
ton. Maybe 1t is due to spots like sun
spots, caused by storms, during which
hot material shoots out of the mass.
Perhaps, as Prof Huffer tends to be-
lieve, the variations are due to density
and in currents within the star.
About 200 giant red stars were in
cluded In the wisconsin study. Famil-
lar among these is Betelgeuse, the
brightest and northernmost Of the con-

steliatioa Orion. visible In the eastern
part Of the heavens during Fall and
Winter months Another is Arcturus,
near the handle Of the Big Dipper.
Various Stars Under Scrutiny.
The observations at Washburn OBJ
servatory are q part of continuous
study OF the light of stars which is in
progress. Various classes of stars are
being studied.
Fundamental in this work is piece
of apparatus attached to the observa-
tory telescope, which is sensitive to
very slight changes In light. This
photoelectric photometer, as 1t is called,
is the result Of IS years of research
by Prof. Stebbins and his associates.
The lowering of a window shade in the
room Is enough to set an indicator in
the apparatus in motion. Light
through the telescope falls on a photo
electric cell, setting up very small
electric current. The current moves an
indicator. With this attachement the
light from very faint stars can be
measured.

study Of the giant red stars which Prof.
Joel StebbinS and Prof. G. M. Huffer
of Washburn Observatory, University Of
Wisconsin. have made over q period
of two years.
The gradual change In cosmic time
from red stars to white stars and back
to red stars is one theory of evolution
as applied to the heavens says Prof
Huffer. The big red stars have O very
low density. and the materials Of which
they are composed are diffused through
out spheres whose diameters are mil
lions or hundreds OF millions of miles.
Their low temperature makes them red.
Change CoIors Like Iron.
The range in color OF sUsrs is like the
change in the, color of a piece Of iron.
When heated, idon is first red, then yell
low, then white. So a big red star is
really cool. extraordinarily speaking,
with temperature of perhaps $500 de-
grees centigrade. A star which has a
temperature under 1900 degrees is not
even visible. But as the young stars
get older they contract and become hot
ter. A massive white star-a hot one
may have a temperature of $4,000 de-
grees. Then. IL this theory Of evolution
is true. the hot stars gradually become
cooler. until they reach a dense state

Signefa Rose|Ii Describes
"'FouI, vermin-FilIed"
y italian Prison.
By Cable TO The star.

By Gable 10 The Star.
PARIS, September 21-The story of
her detention. in the vermin- Infested
prison of Sosta was told here by Signora
Carlo Roselli, English wife of the anti
Fascist professor who with two COM
panions escaped last July from the
italian political prison island Of Lipari,
off the Sicilian coast.
Finally released and permitted to leave
Italy after the English language news
papers had taken up her cause, Signora
Roselli arrived in Paris after Italian
authorities had arrested her. together
with DR.. Nello RoSelh. brother Of Prof.
Roselli. as precautionary measure
Lipari. Prof. Roselli'S two companions
in the daring prison break were Fran
cesco Nitti and Emilio Lusso.
Health Failed in Prison.
When first placed under arrest Sig
nora Roselli was with her mother-in-
law at Cormaggiore, province of Turin.
She learned of her husbands escape,
she said, from the police who came to
take her into custody. She was placed
in what she called the foul vermin-
infested" prison Of SoSta. In i'll health,
and unable to stand the rigors of prison
life she finally persuaded the doctor to
certify to her condition.
AS a result she was removed to no.
tel and there held under guard. It was
not until after the British press began
to take an interest in her case that she
was finally released and permitted to
leave the country. Prof. Roselli and
his wife plan to remain in Paris for
some time, later making visit to Eng
land.
Husband Escaped In July.
Prof. Roselli and his two companions.
Francesca Nitti and Emilio Lusso. were
italian Deputies and leaders in the
: resurgence against the Fascists. Nitti
rs understood to be q nephew Of former
Premier Nitti while Lusso is Sardi-
MAN and once head of the so-called
action party promoting the movement
for the autonomy Of Sardinia. Roselli
Is the son Of a friend of the italian
patriot, Ma5zini. He was an active sup
porter Of the Socialist leader, Filipo
Turati. who made his escape to France
three years ago.
The three made their escape from
Lipari last July 81 and were supposed
at the time to have found a refuge on
the northern cost Of Africa. Later they
managed to make their way into Eu-
rope.

TIGERS HAVE BIG FEAST.
Ten Chinese and Girl Killed by
Beasts in Village.

Reading like the pages from some
highly spiced jungle tale are the
complaints made by villages to the
north of the coastal city of Swatow.
Ten Chinese have been eaten or badly
nauled and one small girl. knocked
down and injured by man-eating tigers
in the thickly populated districts Of the
province. Tigers have been attacking
in the daytime as we'll as at night. and
measures to cope with the menace are
being considered. Among these is a
proposal that whole villages be organized
to take up a trail. One tiger weighing
100 pounds was killed recently near
Thongkhlang. Man-eating tigers have
long been known to inhabit this area.
but this is the first time they have be-
come so bold as to be q menace to
hundreds of villages. - '.>
