THE main shower is expected on
l. the early morning Of Nov. II,
which is the date it came last year,
but in past years it has been earlier,
so it would help to observe during
the nights of Nov. II and Is, as

The stars, during November eve

really in the adjacent constellation
of Andromeda, is high in the south

horizon is Affair in Aquila.
To the north in Lyra is Vega, and
above that is Cygnus, with bright

called the northern cross. The
cross is now in vertical position

November of this year.
This leads to the belief that the
meteorS, too, again will visit us,
even though, remembering the de-
bacle of 1899, the astronomers are
properly cautious about making
definite predictions. MeteorS can
not be forecast with the certainty
of eclipSeS of the sun.
Aside from the theoretical con-
sideration, the fact is that Novem-
Der, 1890, brought finer display Of
the LeonidS than had been seen for
many a year. and that the one in
1881 was still more generous. Per-
hapS these were the heralds of a
really grand display this year. which

+'A small, perhaps the size of a
grain of sand or the head of a pin.
When they enter the earth's at
mosphere, friction generates suf-
ficient heat to burn them up, so
they end in flash OF light which
we call shooting star"
AS they approach the earth, they
are moving in parallel paths, which
seem to recede to a point in the
distance, just as the tracks OF
railroad seem to approach each
other. When we see them in the
sky, we do not appreciate their mo-
ton toward us, but only the motion
acros the line of light, and as they
come from the direction of Leo, the
effect is of radiating from this con-
stellation.
The point in Leo from which they
seem to emerge is called their ra-
diant. Other meteor showers come
from other radiants; the PerseidS,
which appear Inc August, seem to
radiate from the constellation, Of
PerseuS, for example.
On any night, if you watch the
sky long enough, you may see an
average of two or three meteors an
hour If you had watched it in the
middle of November several years
ago, you might have seen a hun

Last year, observers. favored with
clear skies, saw them at the rate
of several hundred an hour. includ-
ing a number of particularly bril-
liant ''fireballs," with trails lasting
a number of seconds after the
meteor itself had flashed across the
sky.
This year they should be certain
ly as good. and probably much bet-
ter. despite the moonlight. How
ever, the uncertainty may mean
that even this years shower will
not be the maximum, but that it
may be delayed until next year.

Seasonal Improvement of
Little Aid to Workers,
Says Labor Chief.

By Scripps- Hovard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. ,28.-Small
increases in employment reported
for the last three months almost
entirely are seasonal, William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, warned today.
In the first part of October, I'M
employment decreased by 8 per
cent, the largest gain in any month
this year.
This left "a per cent of organized
workers without jobs, and an es-
timated total of 100000 persons
unemployed
"As an indication of seasonal
business improvement, these reports
are encouraging" said Green. But
as relief for the millions unem-
ployed, they show small progress in
deed. Much of the work gained in
the last three months has been
only part-time employment.
When November brings layoffs,
as it always does, most of this gain
probably will be lost.
Even after the slight improve
ment of September, early October
figures from trade unions show IS
per cent still out of work in build
ing. IS per cent in metal trades. AZ

there is a shower at all like the
famous ones of the past there will
be enough of sufficient brilliance to
make a magnificent display.
These meteorS recur more or less
regularly every year, because they
are moving in a huge swarm around
the sun. Imagine tube completely
encircling the sun like huge
bicycle tire, but pulled out in one
direction to form an ellipSe. 1,900,-
100000 miles long.
This ellipse is not in the same
plane as the earth's orbit, but is
inclined to it. AT one point, how
ever. it intersects the orbit of the
earth. This is al the place where
the earth is in November.
Though there are some meteors
all around this imaginary tube,
they are far from being uniformly
distributed There is just one main
swarm: and when the earth hap
pens to encounter this cluster, a
shower similar to that Of 1888 is
produced. In other years We meet
a part of the stream where the
meteoFs are few.

WAR IS GREAT
INSTRUCTOR TO

Many Lessons Are Learned
From Conflict, ConcIave
Speaker Asserts.
SHIN BONE IS VALUABLE
FoxgIove, Found in Many
Gardens, Is Lauded as
Heart Remedy.

The World war. and its after
effects, with the job of healing the
battle-maimed, cast a shadow to-
day at the meeting of the Inter-
state Post Graduate Medical Asso-
citation of North America, as Sir
William I. DeCourcy Wheeler 'of
Dublin, Ireland, addressed the doc
tors and surgeons.
He forecast that the next war
would find surgery playing a more
important part than heretofore.
I'VE learned much from the late
war. In fact, eight to nine years
after it we still were grating bones
on shrapnel-wounded shoulders and
limbs" he said.
He told how it was necessary to
await healing of wounds before
bone-grafting could be accomplished
successfully.
Shin Bones Used
The shin bones of wounded SOL
diers are used in grating opera
tionS.
Sir Wheeler was in charge of a
base hospital under the banner CT
the Royal army medical corps of
Great Britain at Ypres. 1t was
near here that some of the Severest
offensives of the war took place.
The purple foxglove that grows
innocently in gardens was held up
as one of the best drug foods for
heart weakness, in another paper,
read by DR.. Henry A. Christian,
professor of the Harvard medical
school.
The foxglove is known by phar-
maciStS as "digitaliS.'
Warning for Layman
DR.. Christian described the effect
OF the drug on the heart and told
how the newest method of admin
istering it was merely by making
the dried leaves of the plant into a
pill.
But home-owners having digi
tails. in the guise of foxglove, in
their gardens would better not at
tempt taking it for heart trouble.
Tor they might get too much" he
warned.
Persons with high blood pressure
were urged not to take their dis
ease too seriously by DR.. Harlow
Brooks, professor emeritus of New
York university and Bellevue hos
pital, in another clinical talk.
Just Don't Fret
"They can live to ripe old age
if they've nothing else seriously
wrong with them. Live the right
life and try not to get over
excited" he warned.

surgeons ends tonight at the Clay

to observers that the more
than 10000 majority which
will be accorded the Demo
cratic state and national tick
cts in the Fourth will be suffi-
Gent to pull over his oppo-
nent, James |. Farley of Au-
burn, retired automobile man
ufacturer.
Hogg got the breaks when Far
ley failed to begin his campaign
early and so let the incumbent get
in the first shots, but he has failed
to win over the hostiles in his own
party. Now that Farley has taken
to the stump and actively is cam
paigning, it is too late.
New Deal and Beer Issues
Farleys principal issue is repeal
of prohibition and a new deal. AL
though the rural counties are dry,
they are listening kindly to talk OF
the latter and resentment against
the administration is expressed
openly.
Repeal is not overly popular in
any of the seven counties outside OF
Allen, and that is Farley's principal
weakness.
Democratic organizations in the
Fourth are active under the leader
ship of Chairman Virgil Simmons OF
Button, while a defeatiSt attitude is
evidenced by the G. o. P. workers
who frankly admit that they don't
care for Watson, don't know Spring
err, and want only to save Hogg and
their county tickets.
The necessity of saving the con-
gresham is obvious when it is re-
called that he heads the county bal
lot, while the state and national
candidates are on a different sheet.
The Crusaders, a militant wet or
ganization in Allen county, is doing
yeoman service for, Farley, who
made his primary fight as an out
and-out repealiSt.
Stay in G. o. P. Column
The counties in the district, with
the exception of Allen, Adams and
Wells. always have been Republican
and did not crack" even during
the 1880 campaign.
The last time the district, as it
now is organized, went Democratic
was in 1922, when Whitley county
Joined that column by 81 votes,
making a Democratic majority OF
1913. In 1920 the district went
Republican by 1925 votes and in
the 1880 campaign by 1850 votes.
So the story is self-evident.
Because of the industries in
Allen county, Hogg was an en-
thusiastic supporter of the Smoot-
Hawley tariff, but the kickback has
come in the agricultural commun-
tiles.
So popular are Franklin D.

IF hopes Of astronomers are
Il realized, November, 1882, will go
down in astronomical history as the
time of the return of one of the
greatest and most famous of meteor
showers. In 1899, 1888 and 1866,
November brought a display of
shooting stars that has seldom been
equaled.
At that time the entire sky was
covered with meteors, like the ribs
of a vast umbrella. Since they
seemed to radiate from a point in
the constellation of Leo. charac-
terized by the familiar figure of the
Sickle" these meteors are deSig-
mated as the Leonids.
They had occurred regularly at
thirty three-year intervals, as an
examination of past records had
shown good displays even before 1893
at similar intervals; so it was gener-
ally supposed that 1899 would bring
another display.
Two English astronomers called
attention to possible action of the
plant Jupiter, which might have
pulled the meteorS out of their path
sufficiently to miss the earth, and
this actually turned out to be the
case. But facilities for prompt dis
Semination of scientific news were
not as good in 1899 as they are to-
day. and this warning scarcely was
noticed
When millions of lay observers
throughout the world expected the
display. and when it did not mater
ialize, they we're left with conSid-
cradle degree of skepticism for as
