SCIENCE
only One Star In Millions Be-
ljeUed TO Be Surrounded by
It's O10n Planet System.
BY DAVID DIETZ-
a QUESTION which inevitably

A QUESTION which inevitably
N hobs up in any discussion of
the stars is the problem Of life else
where in the universe.
The speculations Of men Of SCI
ence-for here We are in a field
where only speculations are possible
at the present-have swung back
and forth like a pendulum.
At times they have thought It
rather unlikely that there should be
life elsewhere in the universe. At
other times they have thought it
extremely likely. The opinion has
depended largely upon the theory Of
the earth's origin which seemed to
be most favored at the moment.
The problem is one which did not
worry the ancients. To them, the
earth was the center Of the universe
and the stars merely points of light
fixed in crystal sphere which re-
volved about the earth.
But with the realization Of the
immense size of the universe came
the question of life in other parts
of it
Astronomers established the fact
that every star is a great blazing
globe like our sun. Our sun is
star. Every star is a sun.
Might not every star, then, be
surrounded by planets? The tele-
scope can not tell US, because stars
are so far away that even the most
powerful telescope fails to reveal
star as anything but a pinpoint of
light.

XXTHEN the cruel political war is
w over I have a notion of two
activities which might engage my
attention. There is, for instance,
literature.
I'm carrying around with me a
fine idea for a magazine article.
Somewhere there should be printed
a piece by somebody who likes
Hollywood. Right now I'm well
equipped to do it. I've never been
there.
But in spite of slam and satire,
I can't believe that everybody con-
nected with the industry is wholly
stupid and unowrtl1y. rye seen too
many interesting pictures.
Of course, the screen could be
better, but any fan who picks his
spots, need not blush at the type
of entertainment which he witnesses.
Patrons of the legitimate theater,
in particular, have no reason to
look down on talkie addicts. It
seems to me that the best which the
stage has to offer still is several cuts
below the highest achievements Of
the movie men. But the best comes
into the theater infrequently.
Certainly the run Of mill fare
provided by the theater is nothing
to boast of. If we're cast away on
a desert island and had my choice
to ten average Broadway shows and
ten average Broadway talking pic
lures I rather think I'd take the
screen versions.
OF course if the plays went with
me to the desert island I'd have the
opportunity to break my solitude
with the companionship of ten av-
erage Broadway casts.
The pictures would furnish me
no human companionship save that
Of a motion picture operator or so
and maybe a couple Of usIlers. I
still think I'd choose the pictures
for the desert island.

Editor Tines-As our state Con-
stitution is one Of the easiest to
amend and fairest besides, why is
there SC much demand for new
Constitution?
It will, Earlharn college figures,
cost about a million dollars. Who
ever heard of a man, because the
ganary needed repair, tearing
down the barn to do it?
It has been shown that the new
Constitution idea originated in the
Columbia Club, the den of Coffin
ism, Ed Jackson, D. G. Stephenson
and all the mob Of political para
sites who have been "feasting in
selfish glee upon the life blood OF
the state"
Thomas Marshall was elected
Governor on his slogan: Get back
to the Constitution. And he did
so get back our state government
and kicked out all the political
parasites and their lobby, who in
their aforesaid den concocted this

so they could not be kicked out.
They are batting leaders in the
various organizations to speak for
the new Constitution and thus be
delegates. Each one Of these dupes,
the insidious feelers-out and fxers,
are getting out more than enough
for the hundred delegates, and no
one else thus will stand ghost Of
a chance of being a delegate, es-
pecially if he is faithfully warned
against this gold brick"
This proposed constitutional con-
vention will last admittedly six
months, and will be Belshazzar
feast and spending spree, enriching
most of the delegates.
Governor Marshall stragetically
came out for the improvement in
our Constitution, so, thinking to
use him for a catspaw, they picked
him for their screen whel they had

Changing Theories

a CCORDING to the original
N nebular hypothesis of Kant and
Laplace, the sun evolved from a
nebula. The planets were thought
to have been cast off in the normal
course Of evolution.
It will be seen, at once, that on
this theory, every star must at some
stage Of evolution cast of planets.
But the present view Of stellar
development discards these views
of an early century. Present-day
theories hold star would never in
the normal course Of events give
rise to planets.
The generally accepted theory to-
day was originated by DR.. F. R.
Moulton Of Chicago and the late
DR.. T. c. Chamberlin.
This theory holds that the sun
existed for trillions Of years with
out any system Of planets. The
planets we're formed from material
pulled out of the sun by the gravi-
rational attraction of a star which
passed very close to the sun.
The problem Of the existence Of
planetary system in the universe
depends, therefore, upon the ques-
ton of how often such catastro-
phe might overtake a star.
The stars in general average
about twenty-five trillion miles
apart. It is not likely, therefore.
that such close encounter would be
frequent.
Moreover, the encounter would
have to occur at the right time. If
the star was still very young or
very old, its condition might be
such that the formation Of planets
would not necessarily result.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Too Much Milk Hurts Appetite

in the causing and development of
loss of appetite in children beyond
the age of infancy.
Several experts have described i'll
effects from excess feeding of milk,
but it is not known whether the
development Of this phenomenon is
due to deficiency in vitarnins and
minerals, whether it is psycholog-.
ical, or whether it is due to some
popularity of composition or some
special substance in the milk.
When a child is fed enough milk
to get one-half it's total amount of
Galleries in the form OF fat, it is
likely to develop a loss of appetite
sooner or later.
A quart of milk day, once urged
as the universal standard, may in
time develop a diStaste for milk in
many children.

Common Sense Shown

A LII things considered, the peo-
L n pie are right in concentra ing
on the idea of merely having a
change when they don't like exist
ing conditions, and in regarding
their part as critical rather than
constructive.
AS matter Of fact, there is a lot
of common sense in the popular at
titude toward government.
We ordinary folks are wise in not
undertaking to figure out the de-
tails and merely in being guided by
results.
The best we can do is to elect
people to do the necessary work and
thinking. If they fail, the best we
can do is throw them out and take
chances with some other crowd.
You can call this emotionalism,
undigested dissatisfaction, mob psy-
chology, or anything else that suits
your fancy, but it's the best We
can do.

view, DR.. F. P. Gengenbach empha-
sized the Importance Of keeping the
milk OFF the table until the child
had eaten the rest of its food.
Sometimes. the child refuses to
eat all the food in anticipation of
the milk which it dislikes and some
times it gulps down the milk so as
to get as soon as possible to the
other food which it prefers, know
ing that it must drink the milk or
it will not be permitted to touch the
other food.
Orange juice may be given be-
tween meals instead of milk in some
cases to considerable advantage.
DR.. Gengenbach has felt that food
should be taken as dry as possible
and that the milk should be given
only in the quantity which the child
desires to take at the end of the
meal,

Prodigal Nature

A T the end of the nineteenth
IA century, many astronomers felt
that there must be huge numbers
of stars surrounded by planets.
But the twentieth century has
changed this view.
By 1920, it was felt from various
considerations that perhaps not
more than one of every mil
lion stars possessed a system Of
planets.
Within the last year, a number
of British astronomers have sug-
gested that one in 100000 may
be a, more reasonable view.
Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington,
famous British astronomer, sounds
an even more conservative note.
eve must not forget the prodigal-
ity of nature" he says. eff, indeed,
she has no grander aim than to
bring forth her favored child, Man,
it would be just like her to scatter
million stars, whereof but two or
three happily might achieve her pur-
pose.
OCrOng reasons nave DeSn given
by J. H. Jeans for regarding our
solar system as a very unusual de-
velopment. Although probably not
unique, the formation Of a system
of planets is not the normal course
Of evolution Of star.
"It happens only when, at criti-
cal stage Of development, disruption
is caused by the accidental approach
of another star-a fortune which,
perhaps not one star in 100000
900 would be likely to undergo.
"This theory is subject to much
uncertainty; but it is at least use
full corrective to the view, often
too facilely accepted, which assumes
an almost infinite plurality of liv-
ing worlds"

It's in the Bag Early

TINE notion prevails that party
L organizations, spellbinders, lit
erature and campaign funds win or
lose elections, and that the outcome
is determined during the last two
or three months.
Some shrewd observer has gone
over the records and proved to his
own satisfaction, at least, that in
every instance this country has
voted for the biggest treasure chest,
but that does not tell the whole
story.
What people want they are willing
to pay for. When you see large
and general contributions for any
party. you can rest assured that
people are interested in its sue
cess.
Though it is hard to discover at
times, the force Of public opinion
survives, and can be depended on
to upset the most carefully laid
plans when aroused.

The Part-Time Cabinet

we suppose there is no way to stop cabinet Off
GERS from running about the country making parti-
san political speeches when they should be in Wash
ingon doing the job they paid for. This sort Of
thing happens in virtually all administrations and all
campaigns.
But it looks worse this year, just because there
are so many serious problems in the hands of cabi-
net officers who not well be spared for campaign
junketing.
The case of Secretary of State stimson, keynot-
ing and campaigning in the New York state election
stands out because Stnson apparently lid not have
time to inform himself the Brazilian revolution
and therefore had United States intervene indi
rectly on the losing side.
But the worst is that of Secretary of Labor
Davis. If ever there was time when the American
people needed the futime paid service of secretary
of labor it is the midst of economic depression and
large-scale unemployment.
But since last summer Davis has devoted most Of
his time to campaigning for the Pennsylvania sena-
toral seat. During the last crucial month Of federal
unemployment relief planning, Davis has been in

Editor Times-I just arrived in
your city a few weeks ago and I
certainly am disguised with your
streets here. A person would think
a town the size Of Indianapolis
would take unoer consideration the
condition Of its streets, to give tour
lists good impression when they
leave. I have toured through many
towns, but must say the Indian
apolis streets surely are run down.
Speaking Of your street cars and
the men who operate them, can't
say much for them either. The cars
have fat wheels and sound like a
herd Of tractors. The operators, I
don't believe, ever put on clean
shirt or, press their trousers.
Now the town I'm from at least
can boast Of good streets, clean
street car men, and well-kept
troueys.
I must, though, give your police
officers credit. They are the most
courteous police in any town I've
been. They are right thsre to give
a stranger advice when they see he
is in distress, instead Of bawling
him out. z. s.

is whether our state shall have a

one way that every thinking voter

is mo-"
Among the principal reasons why
we should not change the present
Constitution is the great expense
that the calling Of a convention
would cost the taxpayers Of Indiana.
The cost of such convention has
been estimated at S1,000,O00.
Another reason is that under the
present economic condition Of the
country, tending to breed Commun-
ism, discomfort and unrest, such a
raove is most unWise at this time.
It has been estimated that out Of
381 attempts to amend the present
Constitution, only seven have been
successful, which indicates strongly
that the citizens Of Indiana have
