NEW SECRETS OF
 ASTRONOMY FOUND
1880 Shows Remarkable Prog.
 TeSS in Star Studies

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 31 P}- Astronomers peering deep into in terstcIlar space during 1880 drew from those unbounded depths new secrets, evolved new bases for study, formed new theories of the makeup Of the universe.
 Harry Henley Plaskett, professor Of astrophysics at Harvard Univer- sity, has described for the Associat- ed Press seven highlights that stand out in the years record of astrono- niCal research.
 Comparable to Stars For the first time in many years,' said Professor PlaskeIt, progress in our knowledge of the solar system has been comparable with that of the stars" In this field he pointed out the discovery of Puto-at first called planet N swinging in 6 tremendous orbit far out on the borders of the solar Sys- tln, Pluto is about the size of the earth and, Prof. Plaskett said, may i possibly be only an adopted child Of her sun-a wanderer picked up as it passed into the sphere Of the suns influence. It revealed, he said, the possibility Of finding still other planets
 Another event, he said, was the preparation being made 10 re measure the distance between the earth and the sun. This will be made possible in January by the close approach to the earth Of the tiny planet Eros.

tones, of course, matching the cos
tune with which they were worn.
Going this idea one better, Is the
introduction of colored hosiery IN
fabric weaves, instead Of plain.
Taking one consideration with
another, it is evident that stockings
are undergoing a decided change
not only in tone, but in construc-
ton. One assumes that this effort
has been put forth to discourage
the practice Of emitting stockings.
Gay socks are, of course, a sports
factor and are reported as being
chosen with the chick, but daring
shorts in which women now appear
on the courts.
The tendency to match gloves to
the costume with which they are
worn is another new development
worth watching. While some kids

models.
For evening. white, all white and

the other girls but it's Just that she hates
to be dressed differently from the others.
MOTHER HUBBARD.
All of which brings me around to
one of my pet subjects, Mother
Hubbard, so thank you a thousand
times for the letter. I have always
been an advocate of uniforms for
students in all schools, public as
well as private. 1t is, as I have
tried to explain, very necessary for
children to feel that they look the
same as their classmates. It gives
them a common level from which
to start. There is nothing makes a
girl feel worse, when she is ii or
IS years old, than to have on a
MILDLY and skirt, when all around
her in the class room are silks and
satins and fine woods in the latest
fashion. She feels inferior to start
with.
Uniforms do not tend to suppress
the individual tastes and expression
of girls or boys in dress. It accen-
tuates their tastes, because they
can concentrate their ability on a
few good clothes. It is easier on
the pocketbook, and surely a lot
easier on the eyes of the teachers,
Judging from some of the "get-ups"
seen on youngsters enterting and
leaving the various and Sundry
schools of the cities.
AS to your daughter, Mother
Hubbard, you might explain that the
most expensive and fashionable
schools in the country insist that
their students wear the most ordi-
nary clothes. In some schools they
would be outcaSts from the rest of
the students if they dared wear silk
stockings. Maybe your girl is young
enough, or has enough imagination,
to play at game like that.

Advocated
for Pupils
BY MARTHA LEE


Of children between the ages Of 6
and IS, you will understand that a
great deal Of their happiness and
peace Of mind depends upon the
fact that their homes, their toys,
their books, their clothes and their
surroundings are similar to those
Of the other children with whom
they come in contact.
In spite Of the fact that we rant
Ground about individuality and
chances for self-expression, we are
pretty much the result of the age
in which We iYe-a machine age,
an age Of standardization. Self-ex-
preston and individuality belong to
he BOYS and girls who have become
men and women. The children want
none of it. II makes them unhappy,
self-conscious and gives them an
uncomfortable feeling Of being con-
spicuous.
That is Why divorce i'm a family
works most Of its havoc on the
younger children. They dislike the
idea that their family unit is diff
terent from the family units of their
little friends. It makes them feel
inferior that they have no fathers
who come home at night, as other
children do.
They want a coat like Mays
or q pencil box like Johnny's" OF
a scooter like Juniors" They, if
none Of the rest Of us do, feel a need
for having things Just exactly like
other peoples. It gives them points
Of contact. mutual interests and, I

MENINGITIS KILLS Z
Hospital Nurses Examined;
One Case Reported.

Deaths of Miss Lillian Russell,
Sullivan, Long hospital nurse, and
Harry Souders, 2, of 408 West Henry
street, today brought the total fatal
tiles from spinal meningitis to fifty
six in Indianapolis and vicinity.
Miss Russell, who died Monday
night, was the first member of the
medical or nursing profession tc
succumb to the malady. She was
believed to have contracted the dis
ease while off duty.
DR.. E. T. Thompson, administra-
tor of Long hospital, ordered cul-
lures of all the nurses and medical
staff, 225 being taken. Twenty per-
sons were isolated, although no posi-
tive carriers were found, DR..
Thompson said. Patients again will
be admitted to the hospital after
the cultures have been completed
and it definitely is determined there
are no carriers of the germ in the
institution.

FLOOD CREST
HOvERS OVER
SMALL TOWN
Griffin, Ind, Wiped Out by
1925 Tornado, Facing
Destruction.
$50 LIVES ARE PERILED
Ice GorgeS Block Waters of
Three Rivers; Levee
Only Protection.

The little town of Griffin, in the
southwestern corner of Indiana, five
years after it was wiped out by
the tornado Of 1925, again faced
destruction and death today as flood
waters threatened to break down a
railway levee that protects the viii
lage from the Wabash, Big Bayou
and Black rivers.
Ice gorgeo, forming at the mouth
of the Black river, blocked the flow
Of highwaters into to the already
over burdened Wabash, and back
water Tapped at the crest of the
crest of the railroad dyke.
Wall of Water Ready
Should the weakened levee give
way, wall Of water would sweep
away the town of $50 persons.
Water had climbed into the streets
to a depth of two and one-half feet
in some places.
Residents refuse dto bulge from
their homes, all rebuilt after the
1925 tornado, but remained to pray
that the levee would hold.
Railroad telegraph and telephone
lines to GRANVILLE, ILL.,, were the only
means OF communication from the
town.
Grave concern for safety of the
Vincennes bridge was expressed by
department engineers. When the
ice jam at Hyatt's ferry breaks, re-
leasing huge accumulation of ice
which has backed for miles up the
Wabash river, it is likely to carry
away everything before it for miles
down stream, ttSey. believed.
Men with long poles will be sta
itnode on the highway bridge to ell
deavor to steer the onrushing ice
from the structure, John j. Brown,
highway director, said.
Scheme to release the eight-mile
jam between Riverton and Hyatt's
Ferry, by aerial bombs, was aban-
doned today when a government
engineer proposed blasting the dam
of ice with heavy charges of TINT.
The engineer, Marshall Gray,
Louisville, waited official approval
from Washington to break up the
jam that Monday caused new floods
north of HATS Ferry, tnundating
a portion of Palestine, Ill.
Planes Sought
A string of TINT charges across
the narrow gorge at the ferry would
be fired electrically from the bank
Immediately another blast would be
made 100 feet upstream, and the
process repeated until the entire jam
was freed. The ice is from five to
ten feet deep.
Requests previously had been
made for national guard bombing
planes from Indianapolis, or a
bombing squadron from Wright
field, Dayton, to break up the ice.
The war department advised
Gray that it had no bombs at
Wright field suitable for blasting
the huge jam, and could procure
none until Wednesday. The situa-
ton demands immediate relief,
Gray said. He expected confrma-
ton of his plans from Washington
before noon.

THREATENING IN
LYNHURST JAM
Five Board Members viii
Attempt to Attend
mayors" Session.

With information that Ernest E.
Kellogg, mayor" of Lynhurst, town
corporation southwest of Indianap-
oils, had called q special meeting"
of the town board tonight, five
members of the board whose cleo
lions Kellogg contests, again will
attempt to attend the session.
Following an upheaval at board
meeting when Kellogg drew a re-
volver and backed toward a door to
enforce his order that the board
meeting was adjourned several
months ago, the five members have
not been called to a board session
by Kellogg, Don Branigan, one of
the members, said today.
Went to Meeting
On Jan. 6, the regular monthly
meeting night of the board, Brani-
gan, Claude E. Williamson, James
H. Mcclure, William E. Harding and
Rowlin j. Mcmillan, the five men,
berS whose elections Kellogg con-
tests, went to the town hall for the
regular meeting.
They issued a statement later
through Stephen j. Fullen, the
towns attorney, declaring them
selves amazed when they found the
town hall dark and the door locked.
Charles Napier, justice of the peace,
admitted the five members and they
we're informed by Kellogg that the
board" had met and adjourned.
Kellogg is alleged to have showed
several through the door.
Aided in Election
Kellogg, as chairman of the board,
participated in electing the five new
board members several months ago
When the five, however, took a
stand at the next board meeting for
Instrumentation of a tract recently
annexed to the town, Kellogg de-
clared their election illegal on
grounds the event was not properly
advertised. despite the fact he had
voted for the five.
1t was at this meeting he drew a
revolver, an offense for which he
was fined in municipal court. He
appealed the fine.
Branigan today said word had
been received by the five trustees
that kellogg had called a special
meeting of the board tonight, but
had not notified any of the five.
The five intend to attend the meet
ing without notification, Branigan
declared.
