LORD PAssF1ELD AND MRS. SIDNEY WEBB

HIS picture of we'll known Englishman and his well
known wife will interest American women. It proves
among other things that snobbshnes stronger than
in women and that and real democracy
stronger in than in men.
For years Mr. and Mrs Sidney Webb known among
the brilliantly intellectual Socialists of England.
They were leaders of the Fabian Society," Those Fabian
Socialists unlike others in this respect They resembled
the Roman military commander Fabus who saved Rome by
tactics that have since borne his name.
He didn't insist winning victory every day. or any
day He retired when necessary fought when he
thought he could wn and blessing to his country

perfection all at once since that comes slowly
They would keep trying little here and little there,
seeking undermine the system Of rule by money content to
retreat if necessary, advancing when possible
Mr. and Mrs Sidney Webb whom you in this picture,
were leaders in this movement.
Today the Labor Party result of their efforts and
teaching actually control of England And through tho
Labor Party the Fabian Socialists eered at peted with
pleasant eggs only few years ago. rule the British EN-
pre. Everything is possible.
What will interest women picture the fact that
Lord Passied the Labor Government hav

Mrs. Sidney Webb.
She has right to be called Lady Passfeld could if
she chose have the satisfaction Of hearing servants in hotels
and elsewhere call her my Lady"
Her husband after forty years work for human equality
demanding abolition of the House of Lords is himself
British Lord above the other Socialists HE
LIKES IT, and accepts it.
The wife says that all nonsense calls herself Mrs Sidney
Webb and will do until she dies.
Women have common than men, inteE-

Planet Discoveries
By Archibald Henderson, Ph. D., LII. D.

The experience of astrono-
mers with Uranus and Neptune,
discovered, respectively, lab and
"a years ago, raises q very in
teresting question with respect
to the new trans-Neptunian
planet.
A FTER Uranus was discovered
= and its orbit computed from
known positions at specific
times, the astronomers began to
note curious alterations In its
behavior. 1t acted like an &C.
centric individual. It didn't
show up at the position and
time when it was expected from
the computed orbit. And things
kept getting worse. Il.
The discrepancy between the
observed place OF Uranus and
that prescribed for it finally
reached, SO years after its dis
covery, the formidable total of
two seconds Of arc.
This quantity is really so
small as to seem ''pernickety,"
according to Prof. Young. But
it was a distinct discrepancy,
which had to be accounted for,
however minute it might seem
to the man In the street.
Indeed. it was this very
minute discrepancy which led to
the suspicion that it was dis
turbed by some powerful, at
tractive body farther away from
the sun than itself.
Uranus got q. quarter Of a
million miles off the track and
acted as If it were trying to
break away from the control Of
the sun. Astronomers suspected
the presence Of an unseen, per-
turbing body beyond Uranus.
This body was fully discovered
as the planet Neptune

0N Wednesday, March the
" nineteenth, strange thing
happened in New York. Above
the roar of the streets a whiS-
per Observation-Disclosures
broke into a great tide of prayer
from five hundred churches-A
PRAYER TO GOD TO SAVE
RELIGION IN RUSSIA.
Atheism has Russia in its
grip. Soviet troops are tear
ing down temples, deSecrating
shrines, ordering priests to
prison, spreading a reign Of ter
ror amongst the devout.
"Doloi Relygeri!" Down with
religion) they cry-and. from
Mortified nations, rises the plea
God save religion"
But indeed that prayer was
answered long ago. It was
answered when man was made.
Religion was built into man at
his creation.
And the Lord God formed
man Of the dust Of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrilS
the breath of life: and man be-
came a living soul"
So runs the old story. It's
words are poetry but its thought
is eternal truth. Mans flesh is
clay, but in that flesh some.
thing burns that is not clay.
There are a million names for
that burning spark. One name
is religion. Religion lies in
every man, deeper than his or
gans, firmCr than his bones. No
one can destroy it in him. He,
himself. cannot remove it from
him. There is not a human
being. whatever his race or
creed, who is not religious.

BY Elsie Robinson
"In the Beginning-GOd!"

Do you love? Then you are
religious? Are you touched by
beauty? Then you are religious.
Do you respect courage and
honor truth? Then you are
religious. Will you fight for
the faith that is in you-what-
ever that faith may be? Then
you are religious. Do you take
pride in good work? Then you
are religious. Do you dream Of
justice and liberty? Then you
are religious.
For these things are the
essence Of religion. Churches
and creeds are not religion.
They are only an expression
Of religion. Religion is the
burning spark within the body
OF clay-and that spark burns
in EVERY man. 1t burns in
you. 1t burns in me. It burns
in the Soviet atheist as we'll
as in the Russian worshipper
whom he puts to death. For
the atheist kills for HIS idea
of Truth and the wor-
shipper dies for HIS idea Of
Truth-and though the ideas
differ, THEY BOTH SERVE
TRUTH. That service is re-
ligion.

TT is a truly extraordinary
fact that only three planets

Is truly EXTRAORDINARY
fact that only three planets
have been discovered in
modern times. Six, Of the plan
cts have been known to the
world for at least 5000 years.!
The planets discovered in mod
ern times are Uranus, Neptune
and the new trans-Neptunian
planet which has not yet been
given a name.
A heavenly body Of the plan
etary type. revolving about some
primary like the Sun. moves in
accordance with Newton's law
Of universal gravity.
Each body Of very appreciable
size in its neighborhood, as we
say, exercises upon it a pertur-
bative influence. That is, the
planet receives pulls, now here
and there; and from elaborate
calculations, determining the
resultant of these various pulls,
the astronomer is able to de-
termine the orbit of the planet.
DY calculating the distances
- and positions at specified
times the astronomer determines
how long it takes the planet to
traverse its orbit. These. orbits,
for the Suns planets, are oval
in shape, but only slightly so,
being very nearly circular.
A sort of mental picture Of the
six planets known to ancients
1900 years ago may be derived
from the following table.
The first figure is the mean
distance of the planet from the
Sun, the second Is the planets
