Livingston, superintendent of thu
schools at Wolf Point. Mr.. Liv
ingston headed a committee ap
pointed by the NJ. E. A. to investi
gate penalty and interest on de
linquent school taxes that had no
been credited to school districts
when collections were finally
made, and submitted a report
showing that thousands of dollars
of this money had been diverted
from the school fund into the
county general fund, and in five
counties alone an amount in ex-
ces of $4,000 had been collect
ed when the county officers at
tention was called to it. Some
counties failed to make a repoct
and some contend that such mon
eys should be retained by the
counties to offset the expense of
collections.
The result was a passage CT
Senate Bill No. ia putting teeth"
in the law and the Montana
School Boards association financ-
ed a test suit to the. extent of
$500. This case was won in the

AS a result of my investiga-
ion a new law was passed in

 of Six Suns
BY DIR CLEMENT S. BRAININ Of the Columbia University Observatory Stan

Look at the eastern evening sky; it is sprinkled literally with many first-magnitude stars and some Of the most interesting consultations in the entire heavens are grouped together in that part of the celes- tial sphere. Orion has now climb ed we'll above the horizon at may time and is followed closely by the two brilliant dog stars; Sirius, the greater Dog, and Procyon, the Lesser. To the north of these and higher up in the sky are the Twins, Castor and Pollux. Preceding orion is Taurus, the Bull, which was described in detail last month, containing the star Aldebaran and two star-clusters, the Hyades and the Pleiades. This region contains also a host of second and third magniture stars which complete the picture and add greatly to its interest and to the admiration which this section of the heavens has always deservedly evoked.

But bluish Rigen is still great CT, for our present data indicate that it is more than fiftten thou sand times as great radiator of light and heat as the sun. In fact, Rigel, with the single exception of Canopus, is the greatest of all the f1rst-magnitude stars. To the eye this does not appear to be the case but 1t is Rigeps great distance which allows the others to out shine 1t at the earth's surface. It is about five hundred and fifty light-years away!
