Hundred Suns

With the coming of the pleasant month of June, we find the summer constellations. occupying the entire heavens at map-time; Castor and Pollux, alone of the great star. field which surrounds Orion,s still appear on our map as the rear guard of the winter groups. The great constella- tion of Virgo now lies with its east ern end across the meridian and stretches far to the westward to the border of Leo. the. Lion. Spica is the brightest gem of Virgo; 1t is a beautiful blue white star lying west of the meridian at map-tine.
 The constellation of Virgo repre- sents Ceres, sthe goddess of the har- vest and Spica lis the ear of corn which she holds out to the world below. The position of the sun when at the auttmnal equinox, which is harvest time, Is now in the western part of Virgo but 1t was once very. close to Spicva and 1t has been in this constellation since the dawn of astronomy. Spica itself Is a star of magnitude 1.2, slightly less bright

than the standard first magnitude. In reality it is. however. much big ger than many a brighter-appearing star because it's distance from us Is over $50 light years. It is more powerful radiator of light than Sir
 jus, which seems to be so much brighter, but, then. the latter is only some nine light-years away. Com pared to the sun. we find that Spica pours out it's energy at a rate equal to; about fifteen hundred suns rolled into one!
 X sThe nearest bright star to the west of Spica Is Gamma Virginis. an in- teresting double star Tn the region beyond, extending from Gamma to Denebola, the most easterly star m the constellation of Leo. Is one of the richest fields of the entire sky in spiral nebulae and has sbeen called the "fleld of the nebula." Higher up than spica. almost on the meri- dian and close to the zenith is an- other brilliant first-magnitude star, Arcturus, in the constellation of Bootes. Arcturustsis yellowish in color, more pronounced in tint than the sun: its distance from us ts about forty-one light-years. This, com bined with its apparent magnitude of O.2. tells us that 1t is about one hundred times as luminous as the sun. It is big star but not as big as spica. although 1t appears bright er because of its greater proximity.
 The brightness which . star has as seen from the earth will depend, Of course. on two factors: It's true brilliancy and itp distance. These three thinge --apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude, and distance are SO related that when we know two of them, we can calculate the third. Thus. when wo know the dies tnnce ana tho apparent magnitude is observed, the true brIlliancy can be obfained and vico versa. if we can learn tho absolute magnitude bv irs dependent means. we can combine V with the apparent magnitude aud calculate the distance.

MARINES MAY BE
 RECALLED FROM
 HAITI IN l933
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff COrrespOndcnt)

Washington, May 27-(U. P)-
 A plan to step up the tempo of the administrators standardization pro- gram in Haiti-and thereby speed withdrawal of American marines ~ is being worked out by the state de- partment and the Haitian govern ment. Minister Dana G. Munro is nego- Itiating with Haitian officials for ap- lproval of the plan. It-Was accepted by the state department when Munro
 flew here three weeks ago for ;sS con-
 ference. It now awaits the hands of
 of an American. Also American san- itary officers may remain. But, if the plan is put in force, all other offic es
 now filled by United States citizens l will be given over to the 'Haitians. The United States is- offering no pledge that marines will be with ldrawn within two years - or any other stated period-butc it Is hoped armed forces can be called home within that period if the program goes forward on schedule.
 The treaty giving this country the right to occupy the island will not expire until 1886. Thus. if marines are called home in 1883, the with
 drawal will be three years ahead of schedule.
 Under the American occupation, which began in 1915 when marines were sent to restore order after a
 mob had torn President Sam Limb
 from Limb, five government ''serv- ices were set up to supervise,
 health, education and other func-
 tions. These agencies. manned large " by Americans, virtually took over the government. The legislative
 chambers were dissolved in 1918 and
 were not revitalized until last year. Observers believe there is more popular resentment in the island against the American services" (except the sanitary service) than against the marines, save as they symbolize the occupation. Hence,
 officials here regard Haitianization
 of the services as more essential
 to restoring peace and goodwill on
 the island than removal of the arm ed troops.

and Ares is the Greek equivalent of Mars. It Is difficult to see any re- lationship between the name of the constellation and its brightest star, but in the interesting Greek myth of Apollo's son, Phaeton, it is the Scor- pion which frightened the horses of the solar chariot and dashed the luckless driver to the earth.

 Plans for 1,41O additional air& ports are under way. But even when these are cofnpleteds tiiefe will remain much to be done to

 One of the greatest needs in many airports is improved lighting facili-i ties. A large proportion of airpoyts
 have no lighting facilities at all. This means that as far as night flying is concerned these airpofts; are useless.

 establish facilities for flying boats. seaplanes. and amphibians. Of course there is no expense for landing fields, drainage, runwayss and dustproofing. where water facili- ties are available, but there should

 There are several factors which lead authorities in the aviation field to believe that It is only a scompar- atively short time until the man who elects to travel on trains, iii- stead of the more rapid airplanes, will have to pay more for his ticket than the man who rides the air lines. Tn fact on few lines now. the airplane ticket is less than the combined rail and Pullman fare.
 A The demand for airplane passen- ger service Is rapidly increasing. More people are flying today than shows an increase in airplane pass senge traffic. Air express and air mail are also increasing rapidly. With this increasing use of airplanes 1t will be possible for the air trans port cof1ipanies to use large planes. Tn place of the present small planes we shall see giant planes, powered by many motors, carrying from 3 35 to 50 passengers on every trip. Be- tween larger cities these planes will operated on hourly schedules. Small planes operated from smaller cities will act as feelers. .
 Planes Cheaper to Build.
 Another factor which will bring down cost of airp1ane tickets is the progress in airplane manufacturing While sthe industry is not, as yet, on mass production basis, it has already begun to make so many operating and manufacturing econ. omies that "a plane which sold in 1929 for sS0.000 may now be pur- chased for less than s55 900. And today's plane is a better one than. last years.
 It costs approximately $100, 900 to build a modern sleeping ear. An airplane with the same passengcr capacity costs from $20.000 to $25,- 900 less The airplane carries its own motive power, while the rail- way car must depend on costly locomotive. Much of the cost of railroad transportation is the result of the necessity if hauling heavy equipment. Weight considefed. air plane engines develop more power than any known motive force. For example, the engines that pull the goth Century Limited weight ap- proximately 150 pounds for every horsepower developed; we now have airplane engines that develop one horsepower for every five-sixth of a pound of total weight.
