The World and All
SAY 1T AGAIN
By Charles r. Driseoil

Let us say it again. One light-year is the distance
that light may travel freely in space in one year.
One light-ycar is about six million million miles. The
nearest star is a bit more than four light-years dis
tant from the earth, or twenty five million million
miles.
Star clusters have been caught by the most power
full telescopes that are so far away that the distance
is expressed in millions of light-yearS
After reading or writing such sentences as these,
I feel that I must pause and rest a while.
+ =
The vastness Of stellar space has always awed me.
as indeed it might well awe a much more knowing
mind. I have just been readirC, with much pleasure,
an article entitled This Magnificent Universe" by
Edwin B. Frost, in the March Century Magazine. Mr..
Frost quotes some of these well-known but always
impressive figures.
Photography is aiding more and more in the map
ping Of the heavens and placing of distant star Sys-
TENS. A single Photographic plate, properly exposed
under very favorable conditions, under a powerful
telescope, may contain the records Of five hundred
thousand stars.
Again, I feel that a slight rest is in order.
Five hundred thousand stars recorded on one little
plate. One may hazard the guess, with
out knowing much about it, that few, if any, of the
half million stars thus recorded are as small as the
earth.
Quite likel ythey are all as old as the earth. or
older, or almost as old. Probably none of them has
been shining for less than a few millions of years.
Yet, we don't officially know that mos tof them exist.
Well, yes, they've been found as specks on a sensitized
plate, by a few curious scientists.
In the general scheme of things that are, my cold
in the head doesn't loom quite as large as it did a
few minutes ago.
Even Lindbergh, with all his flying, seems hardly
nc piroOtjc q fipure In tho universe as he seemed be-
fore I started to think about these great worlds that
are whirling about in their immense solar systems, so
far away that they hardly register on our photo
graphic plates. And perhaps there are countless bill
lions Of these great solar systems, far, far beyond the
reach of our little telescopes.
Really, I believe I won't even mention my cold
again.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-11

dare say that not 10 out Of the governors of our
48 states would be able to creditably pass a reasonable
examination on aims, principles, and detectives Of
state universities. A university, to obtain corpora
ton from the citizens of a state, must succeed in get
ting into their hearts and making them see just how
and why the university functions as it does.
A university must fit its generation. When a STU
dent comes to college he must be able to enter a part
nership with it, and must find professors who can be
his partners and talk his language. The idea of a
Junior college unit covering the first two years of a
students collegiate career is thus justified because of
the dlffluclty a 17-year-old young man or woman has
in adjusting himself socially in a strange town and
in the complex organization of modern professional
and liberal art schools.
The idea that a state university should not accept
gifts from private citizens but should subsist eXclus-
lively on the stipend granted it by the state is utterly
false. Rich citizens properly feel that they should
do more to support their state university than the
poorer citizen who can afford only his mite which is
covered by the state tax.
To expect all citizens to give in the same amount
to the support of their university is as foolish as ex-
pecting all professors of a university faculty to do
exactly the same amount of teaching. Michigan is
availed both state and private support, while Har-
ward has been forced to rely on the latter alone.
1t has been said that I have brought many new
theories to Michigan, but this is really foolish. All
of my theories are time proven and show the things I
have found worthwhile in life. I shall take them
with me when I leave my present job all pure and
unblemished by any Of the things that have hap
pened there.

INDEPENDENT WEATHER PRO-
PHET SCORNED BY GOV
EMINENT MEN
Ry CHARLES p. STEWART

by SIIEAItl<LC 10
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
governments weather service dis
putes the validity Of Herbert jan
win Brownies seasonal weather
forecasts. They are utterly scien-
tific and signify nothing whatever
according to the weather bureau.
The fact remains that Prophet
Browne continues to make money,
selling his predictions to an IN
creasing number Of hard-headed
business folk who rarely let go OF
cold cash for anything else than
what they consider value received,
and who certainly do not keep IL
I'D year after year on any otner
basis, anyway.
1t surely seems as if an I'M
scientific business man ought TO De
able to estimate a weather lore
casts reliability by checking 1t up
with the subsequent actual weather.
From the very fact that Prophet
Browne keeps his clients, 1t ooKs
to me as if there must be some
thing in his predictions.
Meteorological sciences hostility
to Prophet Browne appears to me
due, in large part, to the circum-
stance that he broke into weather
prophesy rather unceremoniously.
Originally Herbert was not a
scientist. but a newspaper man.
From that he graduated into the
business Of furnishing confidential
Washington information to a num-
Der of CORPORATIONS whose plans are
largely influenced w developments
in the capital. Weather considera-
tons also play an important part
in the calculations. The weather
bureau refused to make forecasts
as far in advance as Brownies Gus
toners wanted them. which drove
him into the job Of making his
own.

throwing some into the waste basket
and laying others aside.
In a moment he picked up a let
ter and began to dictate. and she to
take it down in shorthand. The
letter seemed to be to a personal
friend. Some of the words made
her smile. Business school dictation
had never been about "lalapaloosaS"
or about "oozing eloquence from
every pore and pimple,"
When he had finished debating,
he tossed her another letter and
said: Tell this fellow yes. Bring
me the two letters after you have
typed them"
She transcribed the letter he had
dictated, then wrote a reply to the
other letter which indicated con-
sent to the plan suggested. She
clothed it in the best English at her
command.
He read the second letter first
and said: That's good! I wish I
could write a letter like that" He
read the other letter musingly, and
then tossed it into the waste basket.
Il always wanted to know how to
spell lalapaloosa'," he said. 81 hope
I can remember. You will do all

Once started, Herbert went to
the mat for fair with his prob
lem.
BY no means all the governments
scientists pooh-pooh him as the
weather bureaus scientists do.
The weather bureau, it must be
admitted, is scientifically spoken
Of as ultra-conservative. 1t has
the most likab1e personnel mag
Unable, but the harsh truth is that
up-and-coming scientists do not
speak Of it as progressive.
The Smithsonian Institution, for
instance, conducts its leather in
veStigations wholly Independently
OF the weather bureaus.
Or, as Captain C. S. Kempff.
chief of the naval hydrographic
office, expresses it: "A man has to
go to sea to understand the wea-
ther,' which no weather bureaucrat
ever does, except as a passenger.
Herbert Brownies latest proposal
looks toward a r. 5ulation of the
weather by an attack on polar
ice.
Crack it loose" he urges, Gfzom
the edges Of the great floes I'm He
far north and south, set it Mcfift
in the ocean currents, and it in
evitably will affect climatic condi-
tons
The cost? Not more. Browne an
swers, than the cost of a fleet of
Seafaring men agree that ice
bergs affect weather. How far in
land may be open to question.
Browne believes whole continental
areas can be affected.
There is nothing small about his
scheme He mentions ice fields six
to eight feet thick and one to
six thousand miles in extent. 1t Is
not too large an order, he says,
for modern engineering.
They say at the navy department
that it isn't an impossibility, but
what it would do to the weather
science has not had time yet to
discuss fully.
