Like Puzzles? February Sky Offers One
In Star Band Lying Outside Milky Way

By ROBERT H. BAKER
professor of Astronomy, Univer
sity OF Illinois)
lRy Associated presN1

tBy Associated PressD
URBANA, ILL.,, Feb. 6.-Toward
the south in the evening skies of
February there is a starry scene
which has puzzled astronomers for
a long time.
The puzzle is to explain why the
band of brilliant stars does not lie
along the Milky Way. 1t is shifted
to the west of the Milky Way, as
anyone can see.
At two seasons of the year the
Milky Way forms a luminous arch
across the sky passing directly
overhead. In September its course
runs from northeast to southwest.
In the early evenings of February
we can trace it from the north
west through the zenith to the
southeast horizon, when the sky is
very clear and the moon is not
shining.
Faint Part Seen Now
1t is a rather faint part of the
Milky Way that we see just now,
especially the part extending from
the zenith toward the southeast.
Astronomers believe that we are
nearer the edge of the great flat
galaxy in this direction, so that
we see fewer stars and star clouds.
In this direction we look through
$4,000 light years of the star
fields, while the thickness is three
times as great toward the region
of the Milky Way that we see in
the south in the late summer.
After the moon has withdrawn
from the evening sky 1.-THE full
moon occurs on February 10) it is
easy to follow the stream of the
Milky Way from the zenith south
ward, past the horns of Taurus.
the feet of the Twins and through
regions east of Orion and the
Great Dog, where there are few
bright stars. This is the interest
ing thing about it.
Stars West OF Milky Way
The stream of bright stars lies
west of the Milky Way and paral-
lei to it. The fine Pleiades and
Hyades clusters of Taurus are high
in the south. Orion, brightest of

VENDING MACHINES

Slot machines for vending a wide va
riety of merchandise have been introduced
with great rapidity in recent years, one
company alone manufacturing such "auto-
matte clerks" having an investment of Is
million dollars in this field
Although coin-in-the-slot machines
have been common for a long time, it is the
extension of the idea to so many lines that
makes recent developments notable The
convenience to the public is seen by the
fact that many of them are set up under
such means of protection that they give "a
hour service.
One drug store in Detroit uses no less
than 50 slot machines selling many kinds
of creams, pastes, soaps, tobacco, and in
fact all sorts of packaged products. Then
there are others which vend sodas, radio
entertainment, electric vibration, gasoline
canned goods, tea, coffee and even eggs
All these are said to have been deve-
loped from an idea originally employed by
a manufacturer 40 years ago. when he en-
gagged carpenter to build the first chew
ing gum vending machine, which at the
time was looked upon as an ingenious toy

KEY VESTS UNEXPECTED ALLY

A story in The Citizen today shows
that the Dixie Motor Club, of Atlanta, sec
ond largest motorists organization in the
South has adopted completion of the East
ern Branch of the Pan-American Highway
as it's principal national objective. The
news will be received here with enthusi-
asm especially as the Atlanta dispatch
discIoses that the matter is being brought
at frequent intervals to the attention of
terists in the entire United States.
Little surprise will be felt here, how
ever, when it is learned that Thos. j. Bry-
son, former editor of The Citizen, recently
elected vice president of the motor club,
is responsible for its action with regard
to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES stem of the in
ter-continental highway. During his resi-
dence in Key West, Mr., Bryson not only
fought increasingly and enthusiastically
for development of the Eastern Branch,
but came to be known as an authority on
the subject-more familiar with it in all
I'D phases, pCiHapo, IudH any OIHcI man
in the country
If the motor club with which Mr. Bry-
son has become associated will turn over
to him the matter of promoting interest in
the inter-American highway, there are few
Key Westers who doubt both his willing
ness and his ability to popularize the pro-
ject wherever he may go-be it in Georgia
or elsewhere.
As The Citizen has so often urged in
the past, opening of the Eastern Branch of
the inter-coAtinental road will mean more
to Florida generally than any other one de-
velopment in the range of possibility. Mr..
Bryson says it would add the equivalent of
more than $4,000, 600 to Florida's annual
income and those who have had oppor-
tunity to judge his information about this
road and touring affairs generally will be
slow to take issue with him. As for Key
West, he has often expressed the opinion
that development of the highway through
this city would double its population in a
decade
In the past, Key West has waged
practically alone whatever fight has been
made for the Eastern Branch. Now, it de-
velops, she has unexpectedly gained an al
ly and apparently very powerful one.
This should encourage local folk who have
taken part in the fight in the past not only
to continue their efforts, but to redouble
them.
