Back to Caesar

EOR a thousand years and more,
Il Mohammedanism insisted on
total abstinence, and succeeded
fairly we'll until western civilization
went in for saving the Armenians.
For an even longer period China
tried to be temperate, but only to
have opium crammed down her
throat soon after the missionaries
appeared.
More trouble than one likes to
imagine has hinged on the simple
question of whether to drink the
stuff before those little bugs get to
work, or wait and get a bigger kick.
To make his Roman constituents
understand exactly what hard
time he was having in Gaul, Julius
Caesar expatiated on the prowess
and strength of certain tribes, be-
cause they had not been enervated
by the use of strong drink, yet it
is not recorded that he failed to
stimulate himself in the good old
fashioned way before the battle.

SCIENCE
Heavens Present Sights of
Rare and UsuSuGL Beauty
These Autumn Nights.
BY DAVID iDIETZ
THE eastern skY provides q sight

THE eastern sky provides sight
i of unusual and rare beauty
about midnight these nights. 1t is
a scene we'll worth the attention OF
every nature lover.
The planets Mars and Jupiter
both come over the eastern horizon
shortly before midnight and are to
be found near the bright twin
stars, Castor and Pollux.
The brilliant constellation OF
Orion is also to be found in the
eastern sky at midnight.
Jupiter is identified easily, since 1t
is the brightest object in the heav-
ems at midnight. Venus, which is
brighter, sets very early in the eve
ming at present, disappearing below
the western horizon about an hour
after sunset.
The color Of Jupiter is a beauti-
full white. Mars is less bright than
Jupiter and more red in color. The
two planets, because of their con-
trast in color, heighten the effect OF
beauty.

Castor and PoIluX

~ASTOR and Pollux are the two
" bright stars just to the north
of Mars and Jupiter. They are
quite close to the two planets.
Pollux is the brighter of the two
stars.
The two stars are the principal
ones in the constellation known as
Gemini. The constellation gets this
name, which means "the twins y
from the two stars.
The ancient Egyptians regarded
the two stars as two kids. The
Greeks and Romans called them
either Castor and Pollux or Hercules
and Apollo. The Arabians consid
cred them TO be two peacocks.
Castor and Pollux were the sons
of the beautiful Leda and the chief
of the Greek gods, Zeus. zeus had
an exceedingly jealous wife, Juno,
and according to the ancient story,
he assumed the form of a swan
when he went calling on Ileda.
The ancient Romans Swore by
OdoOOI .O1lQ JOl44C VI 10 Quill
do it unconsciously today by saying
"By Jinminy" That is a corrup-
ton of the ancient Roman habit
of swearing by the twins-"By
Gemini."
The telescope reveals that Castor
is a double star The two COM
ponents are separated easily with
small telescope. Astronomers calcu-
late that the two componentS take
$50 years to make one revolution III
their orbit.
Spectroscopic investigation re-
veals, however, that each component
is in turn double star, but COM
posed of components too close to-
gether to be separated by the tele-
scope.
Castor, therefore, really is four
stars in one.

Annotated Prohibition

MOST people think of grape
4VA juice as a by-product of
prohibition, and though it was in
a way, its manufacture was begun
half a century before the United
States went dry. DR.. WEIGH, who
founded the business and who died
some four years ago, was a dentist.
This, though interesting, had moth
ing to do with the beverage that
has made his name so famous.
What really moved him to en-
gage in such venture was the
necessity of taking sacramental wine
as a good Methodist should, on the
one hand, and a belief in total alb
stinence on the other. When he
discovered that many folks were
glad to drink grape juice for its
own sake, he made it in ever-in-
creasing quantities, but always he
devoted large part of the profit
to missionary work.
Some day a genius will write the
history of those simpler commodi-
ties and enterprises which have
done so much to provide work in
the machine age.

The auto, while it has some virtue,

diana have for years contributed
millions to the upkeep of a state
police department, the ostensible
duty of which is to patrol the roads,
see that traffic laws are obeyed, and
to apprehend those who steal auto
mobiles.
But first of all, the most i'm
portant duty is to patrol the roads.
One night recently, while driving
up Road Al to Terre Haute and
Road 40 to Indianapolis, the writ
er's life was endangered on several
occasions by trucks having no tail
lights nor green lights in front.
On the entire trip, as on other
trips, not a state policeman was
seen on the roads.
Where are the policemen at
night?
If reports are correct, they whip
voters into line during the day and
constitute the claques at Republican
rallies at night.
It is time that the state police
force be put to the duty for which
it was organized, and drop out OF
the political picture.
If the secretary of state can not
make the force function efficiently,
it should be taken, from under his
control.
And if the police department can
not be removed from the purv1ew
of the secretary of state, another
secretary should be elected.
It is interesting to note that two
state police captains have dotted
their green uniforms for the dura-
ton of the campaign and are out
rounding up voters.
One of these captains, Milo Her
shey, is the same man who told
D. c. Stephenson not to worry
about the Hamilton county jury,
because Everything is fixed up"
and the other, Joseph Shinn, is Cot
fms Seventh ward chairman.
General ineficiency of the state
police department is notorious, and
as far as that goes it is no more
inefficient than other departments
under control of the secretary Of
state. SUBSCRIBER.

"a on the lights, drove slow and
went on. Next thing was tar, We
drove three or four miles through
fresh tar-that wasn't very pleas
ant either. We drove for miles
and miles along beautiful river:
there wasn't much water in it, but
it was so rocky-large rocks and
was on one side of the river and a
good road on the other; on each
side of the road were green grass
and flowers all along the way. We
sure enjoyed this pretty drive.
When we left this river we came
to the mountains in the evening
just before sunset. There was a
good road along the side of the
mountains; it was just winding in
and out for miles, and up grade.
1t was SO steep on one side we
couldn't see the top, and SO deep
on the other we couldn't see the
bottom, in places. b. B. and En-
ma said in places it was as beau
tiful and thrilling as going over
the Rocky mountains.
We stopped close to Asheville,
n. c., where we got little cottage
and staid all night. Next morning
we got warm breakfast, then
started, still enjoying the wonder
fully beautiful scenery
Going through North Carolina
and South Carolina and Georgia, we
saw the beautiful cotton fields. The
colored folks were out picking the
cotton. Some fields were picked
and some were as white as snow.
They had a large crop of cotton this
year. but were not getting much
for it.
We went through Augusta, Ca:
stopped at a little town named
Bexley, in Georgia. This was our
last night out. This town is about
125 miles northwest of Jackson
vile, Fla. We got a little cottage
for $1.25; it had two rooms in 1t,
a nice clean bed in one room. Sis
ter and I occupied the bed. B. b.

cot he had with him on his trip
