TINE disease trichinosis affects
l. chiefly hogs and rats. In a re-
cent survey of diseases transmitted
from animals to man, Thomas G..
Hull asserts that the Jewish pro-
hibition against pork made by
Moses about 1900 B. G. probably
was due to his recognition of the
danger of such infestation from
eating the meat Of the hog.
1t was not, however, until 1922
that any one recognized the pres
ence of something strange in the

self was not demonstrated until
1885.

1T also would be valuable for our
L. study of the stars to know the
absolute magnitude of a star, its
real brightness of candle power. so
to speak. For when We look at the
sky, we can not tell whether a star
is dim star nearby or a bright
star far away.
Adams and Kohlshutter developed
a method for doing these things.
First they developed method by
which an analysis of the lines in a
stars spectrum could be used to de-
termine the absolute brightness or
magnitude Of a star.
Then theY developed a formula
through which a comparative of the
stars real brightness with that Of
its seeming or apparent brightness
in the sky would yield its distance
from us.
Distance being known, then it is
possible to put together the stars
apparent movement in the line Of
sight and across the line of sight
and arrive at its true motion n
space.
From this, the present facts about
our universe have come forth.
The study so far indicates that
our own sun is located in a sort Of
group or cluster within the GALAXY.
The study shows further that the
red stars seem to be distributed
pretty regularly throughout the
galaxy, while there is a tendency for
the brighter white stars TO congre-
gate in the region Of the Milky
Way.
When you look up in the sky at
the Milky Way, you are looking
through the long radius of this
watch-shaped galaxy.

Astronomers Haze Found

Forty Billion Stars in One

A STRONOMERS of the world for

working TO map the structure of
the universe in which We live and
taking a census Of its stellar pop
ulation. This work to date shows:
That there are about forty bill
lion stars in our galaxy.
That they are arranged in a shape
like that of a watch or double con-
vex lens.
That the diameter through the
long way is about $4,000 light years.
This means that 1t would take light.

That the diameter through the
short way, from TOP to bottom, SC
to speak. is about 10000 light years.
That our own sun. with its plan
cts, which include our own earth. is
at a considerable distance from the
center of the galaxy, but that the
sun is rear the center of q local
cluster of stars Of star cloud
That the entire galaxy is in rota-
ton around g massive center marked

Adams

1T is due to the development of a
Il method by DR.. Walter S. Adams.
director of the Mt. Wilson observa-
tory, and German astronomer
named Kohlshutter twelve years ago
that such systematic study Of the
| universe is possible today.
Such study depends upon our
ability to measure the motions of
stars and their distances.
Now older methods existed for do
ing this within certain limits.
BY measuring the position Of r
star at two intervals six months
apart and noticing the displacement
caused by the motion Of the earth
in going around its orbit it was pos
sible to arrive at the distances Of
the nearer stars.
But the great majority of stars
are so far away that they show
no such displacement. Hence this
method, known as the parallaX
method, had limited application.
1t is possible to measure the mo-
ton Of stars across the line of sight
by photograpfing the stars at inter-
walls of year or more and measur-
ing their shift across the photo
graphic plates with a measuring
microscope.
This measure, however, is angular
and would be the same for a near
star moving slowly Or far star
moving swiftly. We therefore must
know the stars distance to arrive
at its actual motion across the line
of sight.
Motion in the line of sight-that
is, towards the earth or away from
its measured easily by measuring
the shift of the lines in the spec
trum of star.
The spectrum is the rainbow OF
colors formed when a prism is held
up to any sort of light. Just as
train whistle seems higher when
train approaches and lower when
it recedes from us, so the lines in
the spectrum shift with motion.

Result Satisfies
 In Rat Campaign
Small Percent Report But Large Majority Report Favorably. Cues
 tions and How Answered

The campaign against rats in Windham County, put on beginning November 21, is over and so far as possible the result has been tabulat- T ana announced by the sponsor of the campaign, the Windham County Farmers Association. Of the 503 rarcs. in the nature of a question aire, sent out, only 72, or 14.3 per at were returned While this is a small percentage it may be taken as an average and it would appear that there are many less rats in the county than when the campaign started and that the campaign was therefore worthwhile.
 The first question was: "0ne week after batting were there any live rats leftg" Of the answers s5 re. piled "No"; 37 replied ''Yes".
 Second question. How many dead rnts were foundg" Only 30 answer ed. The total number found wa. 220. Of these one found 33 and another 93.

asst March by careful examination OF all the
l. faulty capitalist statistics available a large
number Of comrades Independently arrived at
the figure Of between 100000 and 100000 then
unemployed. The sharp drop in production in
every industry few months following the March
9Th demonstration made 1t evident that the I'M
employed had passed well beyond the 100000
mark The number of jobless is now well beyond
e000,0o0I
We have some startling admissions by the
capitalists themselves. Hoover admits through
his Emergency Unemployment Committee that
since the U. S. census figures on unemployment
were taken in April their figure Of 100000 was
g hollow mockery) the unemployed have in
creased by 100000. Hoover's figure now Is
s50o,0O0 The figure for the unemployed in New
York City set by the Communist Party was
100000. On Oct %, the New York Times re-
ports Edward c. RybicH, director Of the City
Free Employment Agency and good Tammany
henchman as saying:
"At the present time there are nearly 100000
persons out Of work here Gin New York City,"
More Admissions.
In q special conference at the La Sale Hotel
Governor Emmerson of Illinois. on Oct. is, de-
cIared that the number of unemployed In that
state was over 100000. Previously the boss agents
had put the figure at around 100000.
We do not need these boss admissions to know
that the unemployed army has increased ire
mendously since last March. An examination
of the faxed figures of the Department Of Labor
shows this concluSively. An examination Of every
business index printed in the United States
shows sharp downward line in production as
well as in the employment index and in the pay
roll reports.
Taking the admissions Of Gov. Enmerson and
Mr. Rybicd for the states OF New York and
Illinois, we find that there are total Of 1875,
900 unemployed There are in these two states
about one-flfth Of the IS 100000 workers in the
United States. Applying the percentage that
obtains In these two states to all the workers,
we have the figure Of s,375,oo0 now unemployed.
To test this figure another way, from all data
Of the state departments Of labor, we find that
there is an average Of between is to 20 per cent
decrease In employment since the first Of the
year 1880. This does not take account Of the
normal unemployed army existing at that time,
and it does not account for the 100000 work.

MILLIONS

the very height Of so-called prosperity in 1928
and 1929 showed there was between 10 and 10
per cent out of work even then. To say that at
the present time on the false and juggled fig
ures Of the state departments Of labor there are
at least Is per cent of all the workers in the
United States now unemployed is very con-
sentative statement. For example, the American
Federation of Labor figures state that for Sep
TENDER % per cent Of its entire membership was
out Of work. OF these SO per cent OF the build
ing trades workers were out Of work. For in
stance, the situation in the auto industry, where
production is of about go per cent is much worse
than in the building trades. In the steel in
dustry, with production having averaged so per
cent Of the 1928-29 figure, there has been a re-
duction Of at least 80 per cent In the working
force
Unskilled Suffer More
In short, the unskilled workers have suffered
much more from unemployment than the skilled
workers in the A. F. Of L. We have the A. F.
Of L. admission that % per cent Of the workers
are unemployed. No honest worker would be-
neve these figures anyway, but taking them as
base, to say that rs per cent Of the morgan
lied, unskilled workers, the great mass of the
American proletariat is jobless is again, we say,
a conservative estimate This would on the
basis of 100000 workers give us S,750000 IN
employed.
1t is very evident from these figures, and they
can be supplemented with endless statistical
proof, that the unemployed army is now well
beyond the 100000 mark.
Crisis Deepening.
What is the situation now? The economic
crisis is sharpening. This winter, the majority
Of the building trades workers will be unem-
ployed. The steel industries are slowing down.
While they are supposed to be operating at So
per cent of capacity, we find story in the New
York Times (Oct. 27) headed Buying for future
Is absent in steel" This article goes on to prove
that there must be decline in steel production
this winter because every supporting industry is
suffering curtailment, and that by the end Of the
year "for inventory" there will be a tremendous
drop. The auto industry cannot slow up much
more without actually stopping altogether.
It is knowledge of these very facts that is the
motive force behind the frantic preparations Of
Hoover and all the capitalists to fight against
the growing demands of the unemployed against
hunger. The bosses know that an army OF
100000 starving men and somen is a spectre
which not only haunts capitalism but which
rocks it to its very foundations.
